Obviously some volumes would be a better experience than others based on the quality of stories, but I believe this is a series that DC should definitely be considering. Fingers crossed!

From your lips,hopefully, to DC Comics' ears! Given the entire Byrne run is more or less collected, id love to see the rest through at least 2000.

Agreed - this would be seriously incredible!

[babybats]

Aww sweet, I'd definitely buy this! Are you listening, DC?!

[Yoda]

Yeah, I’d be all over these as well. Probably need a new bookcase but it’d be worth it.

Seems like a solid list. It annoys me how poorly collected DC’s non-Batman stories are. The collections department was gutted, I know that, but they still should not be waiting five years or more after popular runs wrap to start putting out omnibuses of said runs. And there’s so many Superman stories I’d want in Absolute or Omnibus form that I doubt I’ll be getting despite how popular they were/are.
