    Thanks! Mine should be here Monday. Have you looked inside? Someone asked about it being retouched or recolored.

    Not gonna happen, but would like to see the first 37 issues
    of the Casandra Cain Batgirl run get omnibus treatment.
    Or maybe even a Stephanie Brown Batgirl oversize deluxe HC.

    Isn't 30+issues enough for an OMni?

    Yes, I just don’t believe D C will ever give us a Casandra Cain omnibus. And if they did, at 76 issues plus
    They would have to divide it up into 2 volumes. Kelley Pucket/Damion Scott team ends at
    Issue 37. A perfect ending point for a volume one or even just one volume if D C
    Was to title it the Damion Scott run.

    There was a podcast I listened to where they interviewed Collins sometime after the N52 launched. It was pretty interesting to listen to. Especially her inspiration for some story arcs, locations and her apparent annoyance of how Pirates of the Caribbean is fairly similar to an issue she wrote in this series...

    I am excited about reading this run. I saw a video on line talking about how this was an early, maybe the first comic run to carry the Vertigo title. It also looks like there is a ton of artists that would go on to later books and classic Vertigo runs.

    Fun fact - the first book to carry the Vertigo name/logo was actually the December 1992 special that contained previews of the first wave of Vertigo books that would go on sale the following month.

    The first issue of Swamp Thing to carry the label was #129.

    Got the Weird Western Tales hardcover. Great book! So glad to finally have vintage Hex in all its glory.
    Miller was right.

    I have that special, it has Cain on the cover I think. Is it Pre-Sandman? Maybe I don't. I bet that Hex book is good.

    It's a pretty decent run. The Children's Crusade crossover stands out to me, I wonder how that's collected if it all in here.

    No Cain; Golden Age Sandman, Death, Enigma, and Morpheus.
