    So, same quality as Vol. 3?

    While I do not totally dislike the Batman vol 4 deluxe paper in general, it is definitely a downgrade in quality. I was a little disappointed. More modern art is not really serviced by the dull matte paper.

    Anyone get the loeb & sale Batman omnibus? Considering getting rid of my Absolutes and replacing them with this, is the build quality ok, or is it a heavy book to try and read?

    It’s quite fat. It has the same build as DC’s Golden/Silver/Bronze Omni’s. Lots of popping noises when I’d open mine up.

    Does anyone know if the Infinite Crisis omni includes the credits (as they appear in the story pages)?

    DC is inconsistent about this. I was happy to find that the Final Crisis omni includes the credits though the lack of a table of contents is appalling; with no ToC and the titles eliminated from the covers it’s impossible to know what you’re even reading.

    By the sounds of it, the Absolutes, you can pick them up fairly cheap, apart from Dark Victory which seems to be going for above cover price

    Yeah I've been wanting to read The Long Halloween so I'll eventually pick up the Loeb/Sale omni too. Looks massive but I don't mind the big omnis.

    Looks like Amazon will have the Aquaman Geoff Johns omnibus and Batman by Loeb and Sale omnibus as lightning deals tomorrow.

    I have the first edition (from 2012) and the credits aren't on the story pages, as they would have appeared in the original issue. But they are on a title page before the start of each issue. The title page didn't include the issue numbers, but did include the title and part of the story arc. For example, the Sacrifice crossover had a page saying Sacrifice, Part 1/2/3/4, followed by a list of the creators. So it's easy enough to know where you are. I'm assuming last year's re-release followed a similar pattern.

    Yeah, the new addition is the same as that.
