Anyone recommending Animal Man by Lemire omnibus? Does it stand out against Morrison run?

Anyone think Action Comics 1000 will be collected anywhere besides the deluxe? I suppose a trade would be no different than the original comic.
So I'm reading and fairly enjoying the Darkseid war omnibus, it scratches the superhero battle itch I had. Question is, should I get Trinity war and Forever evil or just call it a day with Darkseid war?
I'm in for Teen Titans and maybe the Doom Patrol. I'm not familiar with Bronze Age DP so I may wait a bit for reviews. The Crisis Box looks nice but it'll probably be out of my price range.
I personally, highly recommend it. It was one of the first comics I ever wrote (something of a newbie here) and I was blown away. Its completely different than Morrisons AM, but thats not to say its any worse. I would dare put it on par with it. Of course, I might be biased, but I can't recommend it enough.
Soule's works after he left DC were...not great. His Swamp Thing was amazing. I dug the horror creep show that Snyder went after but Soule just had a blast with it. I love the new Parliaments, and I love how he even brought back some ultra obscure Swamp Thing stuff from Doug Wheelers run. Excellent stuff.
The crisis box set will probably get discounted down to around $300
and most of the material looks cool (especially for a old read "SPOTLIGHT ON ME" who already
experienced those issues and has adapted to the changes in writing and art in comics over the decades) but if the actual
size of each book turns out to be small in dimensions (like the latest Bendis Superman collected HC) than I don't think I
will want it. On the other hand, if the books are the same size as the deluxe books, than this will get my attention.
Looking at the actual dimensions of the box
DIMENSIONS: APPROX. 12.5” high x 13.5” wide x 8” deep
WEIGHT: APPROX. 28 lbs.
it appears they will be deluxe sixe
and something I will think about getting.

IMO, Darkseid War was far superior to both. I thought Trinity War was bad and I remember liking the build-up and follow-up to Forever Evil in Johns' Justice League more than I liked the actual event itself. Forever Evil also gave us Grayson, another feather in the cap of things Forever Evil-related without actually recommending the series itself.
That said, it wasn't bad. Darkseid War > Forever Evil > Trinity War. IMO.
A thousand times yes. I have the original set of trades that I've been wanting to upgrade for years now, and this will be perfect.
Lucifer remains the only Sandman-related work that I've enjoyed since the original series. I was never able to get into The Dreaming or The Dead Boy Detectives or anything like that. OK, scratch that, I loved both Death minis, but Lucifer is a worthy companion piece to Sandman and I feel I must now have this on my shelf.
