The January sales results for HC/Omni books was posted in the Marvel thread. The poster noted the lone DC stand out which was the Superman Golden Age Omnibus vol.5
Superman The Golden Age Omnibus Vol. 5: 630 units sold
Now, I've not been keeping a solid track of these books everytime but 630 units does not seem any larger than vol.3 or 4 were.
There was speculation that since this vol. 5 was going to contain Golden Age material not previously collected that it was likely those DC Archive folks would come on board.
Seems they did not. How worried should we be at the possible demise of the GA line of books then or at least leaving them incomplete with content still available?
Hopefully my memory is fairly right ant 630 is roughly in line with the last few volumes, marginal drops and all. How marginal can subsequent volumes go and DC still feel like producing and completing GA Supes/Bats would be my question?

Vol 5 is doing a little better than Vol 4 so far. So it's "in line."

I forgot Vol 5 came out and just had my LCS special order it.
I hope everyone supports all the Golden, Silver, Bronze labeled Omnibuses (if they can afford so). I'm really enjoying the Green Arrow GA Vol 1.

Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft
Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

Excited to see the Sheriff of Babylon hardcover coming out soon.
My god, you & I think alike. I want Dixon Tec collected so badly. DC just has to be smart about it and realize they can skip some "event" issues during it (that are already in Contagion, Legacy, etc).
They've done some Moench/Jones, but Dixon Tec was going on at the same time. It's a great little run.

Did they abandon the Birds of Prey and Cassandra Cain reprints? I was kind of impressed with DC commitment to reprint the 2000's Batfamily books between Nightwing, Catown and Robin, but I hope they haven't written off these two lesser books. Much of the Cassandra Cain run hasn't been reprinted.

I'm not much of a Batman reader, but...
Does the Morrison omnibus coming out cover his Batman & Robin run? I have those three, Son, RIP, the first Incorporated and Black Glove as stand alone HC's. Don't really need it if the omnibus is just most of that. I don't actually know what I'm still missing either. As I was getting them they were confusing me with those titles and then also different formats which kinda put me off. And I just didn't know how to read them, as Batman was doing that lost in time thing like Logan (I'd quit Marvel by then so from a stand-offish point of view it looked like those two characters were doing the same kinda thing)...
All I wanted was more Morrison. Figure I might try and complete this story or save up for the omni.
Oh yeah, and I think I bought Final Crisis as a bagged set of the floppies.
