if I’m not a big fan of Morrison’s JLA should I give the one million omnibus a miss? Just seems a bit of a bargain at a 1000+ pages for less than £50

I think you should skip it. I have the trade but it feels like if you only read the Morrison issues you are missing half the story, but a lot of the other issues just feel like filler garbage.
And if you didn't like his JLA (is it mainly because of the art?) I don't think this will change your mind.
[QUOTE=Lirica;4499765]Imo I wouldn't put the War of the Gods omnibus or any of the ones not released yet on the ones 'we've had' since there's sadly still a chance of cancellation.
Out of the ones listed, I'd definitely like Underworld Unleashed and Final Night the most.[/QUOTE]
I really enjoyed Final Night but it just doesn't seem to get talked about much at all.

Yeah if you didn't like Morrison's JLA, you probably won't like DC One Million. I love the thing to death, but it's absolutely an extension of his JLA stuff.
[QUOTE=stgeorge602;4503666]I am wondering this, too. [B] Though I have a feeling DC is done with these deluxe editions.[/B]
However, there is a deluxe of Snyder's JL later this year. So maybe they're being re-branded?[/QUOTE]
No kidding. I cancelled my order for Batman deluxe vols. 3 and 4 because there's no vol. 5 in sight.
The cover for Joker Bronze Age Omni makes me not want to get it at all. Why the Collections Dept would break with the cover template design while also correcting prior volumes covers(GL, Flash, JLA SA) is just a massive head scratcher.
I literally have thought overnight about it and might pass.

I have to admit I've had similar thoughts. While initially adding it to my buy list, I've since become luke-warm because of the cover.

DC simply doesn't care about things like these, which are important to collectors only. The only reason for this omnibus is the Joker movie. That's why we're getting such a cover. Collectors can go to hell, as you can see from the latest cancellation or discontinuation of many important and much anticipated omnibus releases.
I picked it up,and I agree with all of the comments above.I'm sure collectors are already working on custom covers for this.
Anybody know if any lists or resources exist to let us know which DC omnis are out of print or have stock running low? I can’t justify buying all the omnis I want right away, but want to prioritize any that might not be available for much longer. Glad to see Batman & Robin by Tomasi is getting a 2nd printing.

Superman: The Golden Age Omnibus Vol. 6 came out the last day of July. All 605 were sold on one day?
Do the two Morrison Batman omni’s Collect everything or will there be a third?
The second omni stops at The Return of Bruce Wayne. There should be a third collecting the Inc stuff.
[QUOTE=Hellboydce;4515835]Do the two Morrison Batman omni’s Collect everything or will there be a third?[/QUOTE]
Batman: The Return, Batman Inc 1-8, Leviathan Strikes, and Batman Inc 0-13 (+/- 11 by Chris Burnham) are the presumed contents for a third volume
