    Also a good point! And it’s certainly not the cover for that TPB, just a placeholder image.

    Probably not. His departure is still too fresh to have had an impact on the planning on these collections. The restoration and other work regarding the books must have already been started before Didio was fired.

    Opinions on the Nightwing omnibus? I don't remember hearing much fuss about it until King/Seeley took over/relaunched as Grayson

    For me, it was decent but not amazing. Once again, we're back to Haley's Circus and Dick's past. It was well done, but not something I was looking for. However, if you're looking for some fun and competent Nightwing stories without anyone called Ric, this should hit the spot. Ir does tie in with the Talon/ Court of Owls stuff from Snyder's run, so it's helpful to know what was going on there

    Looks like they'll definitely be using the new dust jacket style for Batman 9.

    Edit: Wait, it says Vol. 7 on the cover, so I guess there's still hope.

    DC omnibi for August were already solicited, so the ones that were supposed to be released month earlier like Batman: Golden Age vol. 8 (and Morrison's JLA) but weren't solicited so far likely won't show up at those dates, and therefore another Batman: Golden Age volume before the end of the year is even less likely.

    Will volume 9 end the Golden age and will there be an Silver age run? I'm really enjoying reading and of course having these volumes as they are a true treasure and may never see print again.

    It also makes me wonder if they will try again with Sandman Mystery Theatre in Omnis.
    My thoughts exactly. Personally I'd have rather had the full Book of Magic as a series of thick trades, but I'll take what I can get. Sandman Mystery Theatre, on the other hand, should have always been a 2 omni set.

    The way that synopsis was written I’d wager there will be at least one more after 9. It didn’t mention anything about it being the final golden age Omni.

    Has the House of Mystery Bronze Age Omnibus Vol 2 been delayed or cancelled? It was supposed to be available as of 2 pm CT on IST today but I’m not seeing it.

    It seems that the spines, in case of the TPB line, will be intact.
    Swamp Thing TPB Volume 2 has already a new version of the cover, however DC kept the same spine design.
    It should apply in the case of the vol. 3

    Here are the pictures:
