Anyone get the Bronze Age The Brave and The Bold Omnibus Vol 2?
Are the HUMAN TARGET backup stories from B&B #143 & 144 included?
Thanks!

Received the Loeb/Sale Bats Omnibus today...holy crap, it’s huge. DC makes some THICK omnis...
I received it a few days ago along with Loeb/Sale Superman For All Seasons deluxe hard cover
They are still sealed in the box
I wish D C would show some Bronze Age Superman Omnibus love.
There was so many stories I enjoyed during the seventies in Superman and Action Comics.
Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft
Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”
I too would love some Bronze Age Supes, particularly the late 70s to mid-80s.
Regarding Omnis, was it here or in the MMW forums where somebody said DC was waiting until they were at least through the GA (if not SA as well) Omnis until they did a BA one? Which would be a shame as that will most likely take at least another ten years or so. Luckily we at least have the BA JLA Omnis (though I‘d prefer Swan so much more than Dillin).
I‘ve actually been on a BA binge of Superman recently, digging out my old German language album-format Superman books. And I also discovered a huge stack of old German BA Superman issues that my brother-in-law had given me a couple of years back but which I since had completely forgotten about as we were in the middle of moving and refurbishing at the time. Such great fun to read those, even if they‘re not in English.
Bronze Age omnis I want:
Superman
Batman
Worlds Finest
Detective
Action
Take my money please.
DC,I need Bronze Age Batman,Green Lantern,and Flash collected.Please,and thank you.
13th Demension have a list of some new upcoming solicits https://13thdimension.com/classic-ba...w-collections/
Batman Omnibus 7 is listed which not only includes 10 never before collected issues of Batman but will also contain 3 never before reprinted issues of Detective comics to (as the archives only got up to 170)
I love Bronze Age Superman, I hope they reprint some quick and begin with the late Silver Age stories as well. I think Ross Andru pencils a few and there are Twilight Zone worthy stories that add bizarre and forgotten ideas to the Superman myth. I want to see an omnibus for DC Comics Presents, the team up series, and a comprehensive reprinting of the main titles. All the 70's updates for Superman's rogues work, the stories are less "Archie Comics" than the Silver Age but they balance every aspect of Superman's character. He's the kid from Smallville, he's the Man of Tomorrow, he's the Ace Reporter, Justice Leaguer, Legion Member,,,, There are still wacky stories, that is a constant for Superman from Golden Age on! I love full scale Superman Universe: Earth 2, Beppo, the Legion!
I've halfway through my Batman by Grant Morrison omnibus. I read this run 2-3 times back when it came out, and I remember enjoying initially reading it due to the mystery of how the storyline would unfold, along with the discussions on this site on the Batman Forum. I particularly remember a guy with an Aquaman avatar giving a lot of insight on what Morrison was doing. It was a unique experience back then I'll never forget.
I didn't expect this, but I'm enjoying re-reading the storyline this time out more than I did any of the previous times. I mean, it's been years, but knowing some of the general elements of what'll happen really helps with seeing all the pieces Morrison put in early on in the story. It's weird that I didn't feel this way back when I initially re-read the comic, maybe I wasn't getting enough sleep back then.....Or maybe it's the magic of the omnibus.
I wasn't planning on getting volume 2 (Nor a potential volume 3), as I liked about 3/4 of what Morrison did after this. I thought he simplified his writing during Batman & Robin (I always assumed there were too many outcries from readers claiming the previous storylines were too complex, and editorial may have possibly asked Morrison to ease it up), and I didn't care for his whacky portrayal of Jason Todd. I just found that entire angle to be a bit out there....But, I've enjoyed volume 1 so much I think I'll get the subsequent volumes when they're released. Besides, it'll be fun revisiting the craziness of Professor Pyg, "Oberon Sexton", and others in this omnibus format.
When was the "Dc Comics presents" series - was that bronze age or later (80's maybe)?
If they're stuck in this "we have tom complete golden age to get to silver and then complete silver to get to bronze", I'm thinking they could do for Supes what they did for Bats with the Brave & Bold omnis, and do that for the Superman team up books to at least give us something. But if that series was later, then I guess it's a moot point. I've never read any of those stories, unsure if they're good or not, but it did run like 100 issues I think.
