[QUOTE=Clark_Kent;2741116]Also, I know this is for HC/Deluxe/Omnis, but does anyone know yet if the solicit for the Batman: Legacy vol 1 is correct? After the newer Contagion trade, this one seems kinda light at 10 issues.[/QUOTE]
I checked the contents of the following both at my local store today:
[U]Batman Legacy vol 1[/U]
Batman 533
Shadow of the Bat 53
Catwoman 33-35
Detective 697-700
Robin 31
EXTRAS - 2x Variant Covers for Detective 700
So this reprints the previously uncollected Lock Up 3 parter and Catwoman issues but surprisingly not the 4 part "Bane of the Demon" story which, while published after the event is set before as it shows how Bane ends up working for Ras Al Ghul in the story
[U]Knightfall Omnibus 1[/U] -[I]the book was sealed so this is taken from the back cover[/I]
Batman 484-500
Shadow of the Bat 16-18
Vengeance of Bane 1
Detective 654-666
Showcase '93 7-8
So we get the previously uncollected Batman issues with Black Mask & JPV training with Robin issues plus Bane vs Croc & Riddler hopped up on Venom and the previously uncollected Detective Comics of "The General" story

The lack of Bane of the Demon is reeeeally surprising considering it wasn't mentioned in the solicitation. And it should be read after #700, which is at the end of the book.
-
Anyone know what type of timeline we can expect to know if the pre-orders on Superman Golden Age vol5 Omni and Green Arrow Golden Age vol.1 Omni are on pace to secure those going to print?

I was surprised to see Bane of the Demon left out, but if it's meant to be read after 'Tec 700 (I've never read any of these stories) then maybe it will be included with volume 2. Especially now that Batman vs Bane seems to be out of print.

This is great, thank you. It's been forever since I've read the issues leading up to Knightfall.
-
Anyone picking the Knightfall Omnibus up today? I wouldn't mind seeing some picks/ info on the quality if someones able to before I order it.
-
With Rucka off Wonder Woman, I'm assuming well get two deluxe editions worth of his. I wonder who will be the next writer.

What's the verdict on his run? Better or worse than Azzarello's?

No problem at all :D

I'd like to see pics too, but I already ordered from IST. It's featured this week, so it's 50% off...I got it for $48 with the extra 2% off from a previous order. Not too shabby.

His original run back from 2003 was really good. Haven't personally read his Rebirth stuff outside the Rebirth #1 issue, but i haven't heard anything negative.

I ordered it, but probably won't be here till early next week. Been looking forward to reading this one for a while.

I'm bummed, but glad he's leaving on his terms. I wonder if they'll just drop the deluxe editions and just put it in an omnibus instead

At 26 issues. It'll be pretty great. Ruckas stories tend to read better as a whole regardless.

I've not been the biggest fan of Ruckas Wonder Woman so far, which is a shame because I love most anything the man does (Lazarus, Queen & Country, Checkmate, Gotham Central), but it just kind of feels disconnected fromt he rest of the Rebirth Universe at the minute (even worse than Azzarellos run) and it also feels like hes spent the entire time sticking two fingers up to anyone who came before him and removing from continuity anything that wasnt his, I also dropped it from my pull list before the last batch of solicitations came out because I was getting frustrated with how disjointed the entire thing felt, maybe it'll read better when it has a definite end point.
I've been enjoying Perez and Azzarellos WW much more than Ruckas most recent stint.

I'm eagerly waiting for Perez Omni V.2, that's gonna be amazing. As for Rucka, that's too bad to hear. At least the art looks good?
