So JLI omnibus 2 - that takes us to 50 of JLA and 30 of JLE. We'd need another 2 books to collect the remainder of both series, correct? And that would bring us up to JLA Midsummers Evil/Morrison JLA, right?
I'm a little fuzzy with the late 80s/early 90s JL titles.
Also, with the Bronze Age JL 3, would that take us up to the Detroit omnibus?

I'm thinking the third volume would complete the Giffen/DeMatties run with issue 60 on JLA and 36 on JLE plus the "Formerly Known As" and "I Can't Believe It's Not" stories from the 2000s.
The post Giffen JLA stories have been collected in trade paperback up to issue 93. I don't expect the JLE after issue 36 or JLA after issue 93 to be collected since those issues are written by Gerard Jones.
This Gerard Jones business is really interfering with our ability to get material.
Surely there is a way to side step him getting royalties. He was convicted, right? No loop hole there?

The only restriction is that a convicted felon cannot profit from his crime. So Jones can't get paid if he wrote a comic about his crimes. DC still has to pay him any contracted royalties for reprinting his work.
The only work around I can think of is if Jones waives the payment (or asks that it be made to a charity instead) and the reprints omit any credit to Jones. But that's something Jones would have to agree to.
Drats.
Topic shift: Is the Deadman Omni still coming out next week?

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.”
Ah yeah...Jones.
I don't even know if I want to even read that stuff, regardless if he gets compensated or not. It's not like he magically became a pedophile, ya know? We just didn't know he was when he was writing JLA and GL and all those.
Hrm, I hope they finish the Giffen/DeM stuff though. That would be nice
So one big book, or two smaller ones. Here's hoping

The back cover for the omnibus -- I ordered one, shipped three days ago -- has a proper content listing.
FYI Justice League #240 will also need to be collected in a JLA BA collection, it was skipped from the Detroit Era Omnibus as it was a fill in issue featuring the older JLA team
