    Anyone pick up the new Batman: Black and White hardcover? Seems sort of expensive for a non-deluxe, but I'm tempted because those stories tend to be really fun.

    A sampling of the consensus on the board:

    Did anyone read the miniseries? How does it compare with the original mini and Gotham Knights backups?

    I'm sure you can find it online for a nice discount, so it you're hesitant to drop $50 that might be the best way to go.

    Now that I've started to read through Geoff Johns' Green Lantern run I keep thinking we need a companion omni line for everything that's not connected in the main 3 omnibus. Is there any serious chance we could get something like this or at least something to collect the GLC run?

    It's a shame there seems to be no plan for a Green Lantern Corps omnibus. I think it would sell well and the stories were often just as good or better than the Main GL book.

    It’s the story you never thought you’d see! Dr. Manhattan, a near-omnipotent being from the Watchmen universe, has been using his powers to rewrite the DCU—reshaping some heroes’ histories, erasing other heroes altogether, and playing with the fates of the good and evil alike.
    But what does a godlike being from another world stand to gain from the DC Universe? And now that our heroes know who’s been toying with their lives, can they stop him?
    Collecting the full 12-issue miniseries in one oversize hardcover slipcase, this new edition also features dozens of pages of behind-the-scenes features, including never-before-seen sketches by Gary Frank.

    Ouch, $125 for 400 pages. I wouldn't mind a Metal collection, but this will not be the one for me.

    I feel like Metal and Death Metal should each have an omnibus? Didn't they have a bunch of tie ins?

    Absolute Doomsday Clock....I'd much prefer a deluxe. Hrm...

    I'm waiting for a Metal omnibus - given that we just got Flashpoint for its tenth anniversary, I'm not holding my breath on seeing it soon. Which is frustrating because I think whatever Williamson is doing w/Infinite Frontier and the follow-ups will warrant a nice omni, but it'll be years and years if we have to wait for both Metal and Death Metal first . . .

    That price is truly jaw-dropping.

    8 floppies for $125?

    SMH.

    I honestly have interest in both(wanting to catch up on some DC events that I skipped the first time around). This price will just make sure I continue to skip these. Same price as an omnibus?

    Has the GLC of this era even been recollected?

    Not apart from the initial trades. Green Lantern Corps: Recharge is my favourite story of the first omni so far so I'd love the chance to get an omnibus (or even a trade line) for the other companion comics.

    Unless there’s a drastic change in how DC runs its collection department, the only hope I see in getting GLC collected (in full!) would be a compendium. Right now, we can’t even get DC to finish the main Geoff Johns GL series in trade, so I fear any chance of GLC getting done (which I would absolutely purchase) would need to be in a relatively cheap 2-volume compendium set.

    Very sad. I missed out reading GLC in trades except for a few issues here and there that more directly tied into John's GL series. But I always assumed they would publish the trades once everything was finished. Obviously never happened. What a shame.
