    Eh, not really. There isn't a set reading order, as many of these titles overlap. If you're trying to read it in roughly chronological order, it'd go The Sandman -> Books of Magic -> Lucifer.

    This is interesting. Generally when DC goes to thick trades like this, they stop publishing the earlier thin trades. But the 10-volume Sandman set has reached a certain cultural awareness, as far as...

    My guess is it is like the recent Sandman complete box set: softcover. As for the coloring, my guess is that they will be the new recolorings. The one bit of information that points otherwise is that...

    My understanding is that the Omnis work in the same way the Absolutes do: the 75 issues are presented in order, not rearranged to match the 10 trade paperback version.

    The main storylines are...

    Some more things to consider: the original printing infamously had shoddy binding. Not all copies were bad but many were. Hopefully the new printing will fix that. So if you do decide on the...

    DC/Vertigo released 3 trades of this some 10+ years ago, but the rest of the series has never been collected in any format. Presumably the sales figures were low enough that any plans for a 4th trade...
