    Who else is nervously considering the Morrison JLA omnibus? At over 1500 pages, this thing is going to be a disgusting mass of paper, but I'm still tempted.

    Is it standard size? If so then I don't see what the point in not having it be a deluxe was. This would have sat perfectly in between the Road to No Man's Land Omnibus and a potential Contagion / Legacy omnibus.

    No its not a deluxe but it is slightly larger & wider than the TPBs (its the same size as the Batman & the Outsiders vol 1 HC)

    The dimensions according to amazon are:
    Legacy vol 2 17.02 x 1.52 x 25.91 cm
    Knight Out: 17.7 x 2.44 x 26.64 cm

    From Shagamu over on the MMW board:

    A whole bunch of books listed in the Spring 2021 catalog got pushed back to late 2021 or early 2022:

    - Batman in Brave & the Bold: The Bronze Age Omnibus Vol. 3 (September 2021)
    - Batman in the Fifties (September 2021)
    - Starman Compendium One (September 2021)
    - Birds of Prey: Fighters by Trade (September 2021)
    - Batwoman Omnibus (October 2021)
    - The Power of Shazam! Book 2: The Worm Turns (December 2021)
    - Adam Strange: Between Two Worlds Deluxe Edition (December 2021)
    - Gen 13: Starting Over The Deluxe Edition (January 2022)
    - Legends of the DC Universe: Carmine Infantino Vol. 1 (February 2022)
    - Superman: The Golden Age Omnibus Vol. 7 (March 2022)
    - Green Arrow: Connor Hawke Where Angels Fear to Tread (April 2022)
    - Wonder Woman: The Golden Age Omnibus Vol. 5 (April 2022)
    - DC's Greatest Science Fiction Stories Ever Told (April 2022)

    Also, the Nightwing: Supercop TPB that was going to collect the beginning of Grayson's run is sadly cancelled, and so is Fourth World: A Celebration of 50 Years.


    It really sucks they cancelled Nightwing: Supercop - we almost had the entire original run of Nightwing in TPB

    If I could add my 2 cents, I would say Morrison's run is my favourite AM. I found Delano's run extremely out there, very trippy but not in an enjoyable way. As a completionist, I read through all the runs. IIRC, I wasn't too keen on Milligan's (short) run.
    Yes that is what I meant! Thank you. I always feel like subsequent runs are akin to Swamp Things runs, where they may have a decent arc here and there, with stellar ideas and concepts, but overall poor execution and pale in comparison to the richness that was.

    Whaaat...? 2022?! That makes me hesitant to pre-order. I feel like the farther they push a product out, the more likely it is to be canceled altogether.

    And yeah, Grayson's Nightwing was hit and miss, but it would've been awesome to have the full series in trade.

    Finally got my Batman by Paul Dini omni, excited to read this as it's all new to me.

    Also, did that Batgirl by Gail Simone omni get cancelled? I didn't preorder it but planned to snag it on release, appears to have disappeared from ToW's release list though.

    If it helps, Vol 1 is being reprinted and is out the same day as Vol 2.
