    DC must really be cutting back on print runs these days. Even on guaranteed best-sellers like Batman!

    I feel like it's more shipments because of Covid rather than fewer printings.

    I think it's because of the new distributers.

    It also went OOS on Amazon DE. I had forgotten that it was coming out on the 22nd and when I checked on the 24th in the morning, it was gone. They now give a possible delivery somewhere in the middle of October.

    But given that this is a Batman omnibus I'm pretty sure it will be back in stock.

    It doesn't take a genius to realize that Batman is their #1 character, and anything Bats sells. Maybe they should print 2x more Batman omnis then let's say LOSH or something else? Just a thought <smirk>

    It does not help that after a strong start Morrison got a bit lost in the ongoing Superman title. I don't blame him as he was writing on the fly when they begged him to stay longer. Not a run that needs an Omnibus in my opinion.

    I agree it doesn't need an Omni (though I can't blame DC for making it one), and I'm a huge Morrison fanboy. Just a weaker work of his, and you're right, it feels like he was writing too much on the fly.

    I’m getting it, the Rags Morales art blew me away this most recent re-read. (The dialogue felt clunky?)
    I also think that all the Sholly Fisch backups are gems.

    I finally got my copy of the Flash: Savage Velocity today! After ordering it over a year ago and with the book being pushed back on the schedule several times I thought it might not ever come out but I am glad that we finally have the entire Mike Baron run collected and the start of the WML run as well

    Now lets just hope DC collect the issues between Savage Velocity & Flash by Mark Waid vol 1 (issues 19-61 & Annuals 2-3)

    Totally agree with this. I’m holding off on reading the whole thing until the issues you mentioned are collected. Then I will do a flash marathon and read all of Baron, WML, and Waid.

    I hear what you're saying. I like a "complete" Omnibus also BUT in this case, I think All Star Superman is better as a separate entity. I have it as an Absolute and it really suits that format. I haven't heard great things about the Morrison Superman run but I pre-ordered the Omnibus, being a Superman fan.

    You never know, DC may at some point release an expanded Superman Morrison Omnibus and include All Star Superman.

    I did this about two years ago, but I also included the Johns run and then Waid’s return (so all of volume two). It was a lot of fun seeing Wally grow like he did.

    I agree here, All Star has very little to do with the AC run.

    I have the trades, but I'll probably pick it up. I haven't read it since it came out - so it'll be interesting to revist it. I was lukewarm upon its release, so we'll see how I've changed
