    You can all thank me for them announcing The Who’s Who Omnibus.

    Back in the late 80’s, my best friend’s mom worked at a doctors office and she brought home some comics he was going to pitch. Among them were a few issues of Who’s Who and Crisis. We weren’t into comics back then, but we read them over and over and came up with our own ideas for stories using the few issues we had. It started us on the road to superhero comics. Before this we only knew things from the Super-friends cartoons. Those books are long gone...

    A month ago, I bought the whole collection on eBay.

    Now they announce this. Obviously I preordered it on Amazon, but my wife is questioning me lol

    Thank you for your service. Would you mind taking suggestions on other collections to buy singles of? I really want a Levitz LoSH omnibus . . .

    Thanks for your sacrifice, although I won't be picking up the Who's Who Omnibus. Could you please pick up the complete set of floppies of John Byrne's Superman, so that we can finally get it in Omnibus format

    I’m gonna be very annoyed if the Lucifer Omni Vol 2 is cancelled. Really hope it’s just a delay.

    I'd assume it's just a delay.

    I’ve got the first 4 NTT omnis and I’m going to pick up the 5th, but I’ve never read those Spotlight issues. Any good?

    I’m all over that Starman compendium, since I doubt we’ll get a hardcover any time soon.

    I’ll definitely pick up GL: Circle of Fire.

    Final Night is tempting, but I’m holding out for an omnibus with the whole dang thing.

    Flash/Impulse, WW by WML v2, GL: Circle of Fire, GA (Connor Hawke), Final Night, Birds of Prey by Simone v2, GK: Contested, JLA by Waid Deluxe, Flashpoint Omni, and Legion Before Darkness - and that's not including next volumes in series I read.

    Oh, and maybe I'll get the Starman Compendium.

    DC is going to bankrupt me over the next year. I currently have Batman by Grant Morrison vol. 3 and Batman by Paul Dini omnis preordered. Also considering TDKR Absolute Edition and Sandman deluxe, plus I'll get these:

    Batman Superman Generations Omnibus
    Superman The Last Son deluxe
    Flashpoint omnibus

    And if I move on from where I'm reading into the New52 era, there's tons of omnis out/coming-out to break me lol. Should I do it?

    I’ll be getting the following:

    Batgirl: The New 52 Omnibus
    Swamp Thing: The New 52 Omnibus (didn’t know this was coming out)
    Batwoman Omnibus
    Flashpoint: The 10th Anniversary Omnibus (YESSS)
    New Teen Titans Omnibus Vol. 6
    Batman: The Dark Knight Detective Vol. 5 (DC, please collect the pre-Knightfall stuff in omni format but will get this for now)
    Superman by Tomasi and Gleason Omnibus (this was a such a great surprise and right at the very end. Superman is my favorite and it’s insane how few omnis he’s had. Doesn’t make up for a lack of a Byrne MOS omni but I’ll definitely take it. Also, makes me hopeful that they will collect a lot of the other rebirth deluxe editions in omni format.)

    Some great stuff coming out. Not to mention Batman by Paul Dini omnibus, the new 52 Nightwing omni, Batman: The Rise and Fall of the Batmen Omnibus, Injustice: Gods Among Us Omnibus Vol. 2, Super Sons Expanded Omnibus and the Green Arrow by Grell omni. And then you add Marvel’s huge slate. Wow it’s going to be insane.
