    Volume 9 is the final Golden Age Batman volume and it collects Batman #76-84, plus stories from Detective Comics #192-208 and World's Finest Comics #63-70

    (WF 71 is in the Silver Age Batman/Superman World's Finest omnibus vol 1 so they are using that as a break point between Gold & Silver Age for Batman and presumably Superman as well)

    Maybe someone can help me in the Blackest Night and infinite crisis omnis, are the main event presented in the beginning; or is it in publishing order, scattered throughout the omni?

    Infinite Crisis is semi-chronological order (not publishing order). Countdown, then the 4 minis and related stories (e.g. Sacrifice is in the correct place inside OMAC Project), then IC with the various specials interwoven

    Just a heads up to anyone still waiting to get them that both the "Batman: Prodigal" & "Batman: Troika" TPB's (released as part of the 9 volume Knightfall 25th anniversary set in 2018/2019) seem to be heading OOP - neither are on IST/TOW and only available from 3rd parties on Amazon - with Prodigal being listed for 50USD!

    The other volumes still seem to be in stock although some are quite low in stock according to Amazon (Batman: Prelude to Knightfall, Batman: Knightfall Vol. 1, Batman: Knightfall Vol. 2, Batman: Knightquest: The Crusade Vol. 1, Batman: Knightquest: The Crusade Vol. 2, Batman: Knightquest: The Search, Batman: KnightsEnd)

    Hard to believe im actually holding Morrison's Animal Man Deluxe Hardcover Volume Two in my hands.
    It had a 3+ year delay - I refused to believe it was coming out until I actually held it.
    DC came through for once.
    Currently Reading:
    Milligan's Shade the Changing Man, Vertigo Hellblazer trades, Love and Rockets TPBs, Stray Bullets TPBs, Ellis' The Wildstorm

    Agreed! Wish the rest of the run could be released in a deluxe HC format, but just like doom patrol, they only care about the Morrison run =0(

    only other classic vertigo run that’s missing is Shade the Changing Man. I was surprised they published the Nancy Collins Swamp Thing Omni so maybe there’s hope.

    This is really nothing short of a miracle! I can't think of another instance off the top of my head - I'm sure someone else can - where there was such a delay between a vol. 1 and 2.
    Shade, The Changing Man may have come close. Vol. 1 was out for years, and appeared abandoned, until they put out 2 and 3 almost back to back. Of course we never saw vol. 4, but that's another story...

    So annoying that they canceled Pollack's Doom Patrol collection. They could have easily fit her run into two books, but no... *sigh*

    And the Collins Swamp Thing is another small miracle. If anything, I'd have expected a single trade, only to have that orphaned as well.

    It is a shame they don't have the collection of the post-Morrison Doom Patrol issues although IIRC isnt there some issues with the files of the Pollack run that is part of the reason they cancelled the collection?

    So excited for Golden Age Omni Vol 9. I'm hoping they do the Silver Age.

    Same here - honestly I want them to get the Silver Age Batman done ASAP so we can finally get Bronze Age omnibuses!

    I'm sorry, but I'm gonna keep calling for and hoping for Golden Age Shazam Omnibuses.

    A DC email to me referred to mysterious "challenges" (that had nothing do with the content itself the email insisted) in doing such Golden Age Shazam omnis, but I reallly hope DC can find a way to overcome these.

    DC said it was trying to focus on less or uncollected material and Golden/Silver Captain Marvel fits that more than anything. He's such an important superhero.

    How is DP, post Morrison? Its my understanding that Animal Man post Morrison is mediocre.
