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.”
Giffen's Doom Patrol had one issue crossover with Secret Six so entire run should be 23 issues, not 22.

The Pollack Doom Patrol is out of stock on IST already.
That happened faster than I thought it might. Like, by weeks.
Low print run so low numbers? Higher demand than I thought for a high print run?

Doom Patrol omnis/TPB's - (aside from some of the Way run as waiting on the Deluxe edition)

I don't think DC ever had much faith in this material, hence a low print run. The discounts offered elsewhere online were negligible, which can also be an indicator of a low print run (according to my LCS).
I would have felt the same way, but I think all the delays/cancellations only served to drum up interest and more people are after the omni than were waiting for the chunky trades.
Hoping someone here can help me. With no omni for Crisis on Infinite Earths I've been looking to get one of the hard covers to add to my collection next to my other DC omnis. Can anyone who has the 35th anniversary deluxe edition of Crisis tell me if it is the same height as an omni? I just want to make sure it's not gonna look out of place on the shelf.
Is this the one you're talking about? Here it is next to my Zero Hour and Infinite Crisis omnis. It's the same height as those. Just not sure if that's the same Crisis volume you're thinking of.
