[World1]

Mine came in a few days ago from indigo, this is all I've got so far. I can take more tomorrow!

Oh man nice! Thanks so much please take as many pics as possible. I hears its a really nice, vibrant, colorful book. Thanks again.

Has anyone got the 'Just Imagine...Stan Lee creates the DC Universe' omnibus?

I've heard mixed things about the stories, but heard it has some top notch artists involved.

What is the build on the book like, and is it worth picking up?

I have it. I love "elseworld" type stories. The multiverse is what makes DC special in my eyes. There's some really nice ideas about alternative hero interpretations in there, some of the art is great and some of the backup stories written by other writers are pretty good. However, Stan Lees writing is really really dated, I found parts of it a chore and a struggle. The build is mediocre, nothing special.

I'd say I'd you like alternative universe/elseworlds and you can get it cheap pick it up, but its something most collections can do without.

maybe I'm a bit late but I still think DC is hit or miss but IZombie is only like 600 pages so probably it will be okay. Can't remember the last awful binding, probably those true mousetraps are things of the past now (hopefully). Paperstock I think will be glossy since it's a recent book, nothing spectacular but above MArvel event ohc level.

Thanks, I appreciate it! I decided I had plenty to read in last night's order, so I could spend an extra $3.75 and wait a week to check out some responses (and maybe even photos).

I love Elseworld's stuff and can get it for £30, which is pretty cheap in my book.

Might as well give it a go. Nothing else to buy this month.

Here's the binding. You can see glue, but that could be for the ribbon? It's sewn though because you can see them if you open the book far enough.


The book holds open from the first issue!


Here's how the binding looks halfway in


Some other information, there's no printed cover, it's just the black board with "batman golden age omnibus volume 1" stamped in it. The spine of the cover also has the same writing as the dust jacket.

Thanks so much for these. I just placed my order. Can't wait.

Love how the dust jacket for Golden Age Batman matches the Superman one.

From the looks of these pictures, this seems to be the best binding in a DC book yet?

Looks a lot like Dark Horse library edition bindings. Very nice.

Golden Age Superman currently holds thi title but Golden Age Batman dosn't look too far off!

Yes forgot about that one. I have it on my shelf and the binding is good (would have been perfect book for me if it has 200 pages less and DC din't treat us like **** with the horrible black cover)

I think Sleeper deserves that title more. It's the same as in Superman Golden Age, but it came first. I was disappointed when Planetary came out after Sleeper but had the usual crappy binding DC uses most of the time.

According to this website, there's a Batman Noir edition of the Killing Joke on the way! I'm super excited about this since I grew up with the original and I just hate the coloring on the new Deluxe Edition.
