That's essentially included within Johns' GL Omni Vol. 2.

Sorry but that is far from complete. No issues of GL Corps, the 3 issue mini series or one-shot issues are included

Did I say "complete"?

They also produced a blackest night absolute edition which I own. Once I get the vol2 I will have it twice.

No, did I say you had?

Well, the use of the introduction "Sorry but that is far from complete" as a reply to what I said certainly seems to imply exactly that. Which made no sense, since I knew it's not completely collected there - hence my use of the word "essentially". Why bring up the subject of completeness in an argumentative way then?

Now, had you said something like "Yes, but I would prefer to have it all", that would have been more like it.

Anyway. My point, JD, was that the main event, GL's issues and some other BN stuff is already collected in an Omnibus, and DC is not prone to such huge double dips in the same format, so a BN Omni is unlikely in the medium term. ;-)

Add to that the Absolute BN indeed, and the chance is even slimmer.

Unless it's by Jim Lee or Geoff Johns. How many versions of "Hush" are out there?!

Again...

I don't think Hush has ever been reprinted in the same format. Except for TPB, perhaps, which I'm not a fan of.

Also, you're talking of a full self-contained story (Hush) versus a huge event with lots of tie-ins, the bulk of which has already been published in the same format you desire.

This artificially inflates volumes so shareholders can be told all is well...

They do not make us order more than we can sell but DC (other companies do this as well) does offer some of there "event" books returnable if we order over a certain number. But the number of books that we order is still up to us. Sometimes we take advantage of it, sometimes we don't.
