American Vampire Omni Vol. 2
Batman No Man's Land Omni Vol. 2
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.
The...
A third Books of Magic collecting omni collecting those series is the current plan, at least. The dust jackets for volumes 1 and 2 both state that there is going to be 3 volumes in total. So the...
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...
There are at least three minis/series that would be the bulk of a third omni: The Names of Magic, Hunter: The Age of Magic, and Books of Magick: Life During Wartime. This would amount to 45 issues....
The blurb on the Penguin Random House site has this: "The second and final omnibus of Peter Gross' amazing run of The Books of Magic series!"
Many took this to mean that DC had pulled back on the...
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...
I wouldn't abandon hope yet. Usually when things are canceled the dates go to, say, 2080 or later.
As others have said, its possible but not likely. Both Lucifer and Books of Magic had recent series under the Sandman Universe banner. The Lucifer and Books of Magic omnis are presented as "Sandman...
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...

Sneak peak of Absolute Swamp Thing Volume 2. From Patrick Guaschino of the Facebook Omnibus Collector's page.
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...
I have not read it, but there were definitely issues between the end of Moore's run and the start of Collins's run. Two, in fact: Rick Veitch and Doug Wheeler.
That said, it's possible that you...
I own the absolutes and have not had any issue with the binding.
I believe that these are kept evergreen so its entirely possible that there have been problematic printings. But on the whole these...
No rumors for Shade lately. I had hoped that the release of Shade: The Changing Girl a few years back would prompt a new attempt at collection, but obviously nothing has happened. If the recent...
Early look at the Absolute Daytripper book courtesy of Near Mint Condition.
It looks good!
Came to post the same. Although it will be considered blasphemy by some, I am loving the new colors. Can't wait to have a full set to sit next to my Sandman Absolutes.
I mean, they tried the original Books of Magic run in thick trade and published exactly one volume. I'd love to see the whole run in Omni, but I'm very curious why they think Omnis would sell when...
Some Absolute Swamp Thing info. Here's an imgur album comparing some new pages (from amazon) to the original art.

First, your tastes are never wrong. You like what you like, and that's fine. Not everything is going to be for everyone!
Secondly, you are right that the story does meander a lot. There's a lot of...
What material are you missing that the Omnibus version has? Omnibus Three, from my understanding, is essentially Absolute Sandman Volume 5, Absolute Death, and Absolute Sandman Overture. So a full...
No problem! The entry was only just added today, but it's still good news.
