    Nice collection! (Although IMO its a shame that the Knightfall spines don't match up and instead look rather awkward together!)

    Those look awkward both together and individually. Still hoping for a hero to come and do some custom dust jackets to save us all from that ghastly sight.

    It’s a good book, and also has historical value as it is considered the beginning of the Bronze Age.

    And the stories were pretty good and the art, well...Neal Adams. Nuff said.

    Are you looking to buy this? A quick look and it appears to be available at all of the major internet retailers, IST, CGN, Amazon, for under $15.

    I don’t know if these have already been spotted on Amazon but hoping the 3rd one is true.

    https://www.amazon.com/Absolute-Dayt...dOL&ref=plSrch

    I know it’s been listed before and then vanished, so I’m hoping this one sticks

    Looking good. My Brave and the Bold Vol. 2 Omni is on its (long) way from IST.

    The reason why the Impulse Omnibus was cancelled:

    There will be TPBs in place of the Omnibus.

    Huh, interesting. Well, at least the material is still coming out. Shame they couldn't do some restoration on it, though.

    Yes, it is a shame. Bleeding Cool reported that "But it isn’t for lack of sales or orders, but rather the quality of the scanned files they have for the comics in question, specifically those published in the nineties. Apparently there are issues with the way the colour on the pages is captured when published at an oversized Omnibus level. And after dealing with problem after problem, DC Comics have decided enough is enough. The Impulse Omnibus is dead rather than have DC publish a worse-than-usual-quality volume."

    This doesn't bode well for other 90s series printed on the same paper. I'm sure at some point, the right technology and methodology will enable them to restore these comics in an oversized format.

    Damn. Didn‘t know Absolute Killing Joke was out already. Had pre-ordered it in March and actually wanted to cancel my order. But I just got the shipping notification so that‘s that.
