    I'm surprised we will have a Batman Road to No Man's Land omnibus but no Cataclysm.

    Is cataclysm collected in hardcover somewhere?

    The Road To No Man’s Land omnibus is slated to include Cataclysm, Aftershock, and The Road To No Man’s Land issues.

    You are right, it's just missing Batman 553.

    I hope DC finishes this run out (they sadly don't put "Vol 1" leaving them room not to collect the 92 issues of "Jonah Hex" and the DC Special that ends Jonah's life).

    I thank Didio in particular for this, he loves Jonah, I think he re-greenlit this release before he left (I certainly begged DC via email in this regard).

    Must-own volume IMHO.
    Is this in a Deluxe OHC format or standard size HC?

    The book isn’t out yet. While it’s certainly not out of the realm of possibility that DC would randomly not include the third, and very integral, part of a storyline in a book that claims to be complete, it’s more likely the solicitation text is just incorrect. DC is pathologically incapable of correctly relating the contents of any of their books before they are released, or correcting those content listings even on their own website after release.

    Bottom line, until the book is out and someone reports back (or someone who gets a pre-release copy can verify), I wouldn’t take those pre-release listings as the gospel truth.

    Hope you are right, I will buy it anyway.

    Please do.

    Because I'd really like DC to go on & collect the 92 issues of Jonah Hex and Hex's final tale in DC Special Series #16.

    I'm torn on whether or not I want this ombibus. I have all the tpbs and and they look great on the shelf, but they are just tpbs and this story would look amazing in large print. If the paper is cheap, I'll probably pass though.

    I'm an Absolute lover. The omnibuses are great, but the absolutes are mesmerizing. They are built well, the art is beautiful, and they look great on the shelf. My Sandman Absolutes are my favorite books in my collection and that is saying a lot. Either way, you won't be disappointed, in fact you're going to love Sandman

    I remember seeing people complaining about the binding from both versions on Amazon.

    Have you had any issues with your editions?

    I was going to buy the deluxe edition because of these complaints.

    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 haven't been the majority of the books, from what I can tell.

    If you're worried about it, buying the upcoming deluxe editions would make sense, as its a much smaller investment.

    Does anyone know if Fables Absolute is still happening?
    It's still on Amazon for a June release but I thought it got cancelled.
