NML was originally released in 5x TPBs then in 2011 DC released larger collections which contain (IIRC) everything except one Nightwing issue and the Harley Quinn one-shot

Thank you for your reply. So annoying, though. I now have to mix and match the older and newer trades to get the full story.. ugh.

No problem at all

If you prefer to wait DC are releasing a Road to No Man's Land omnibus in October which will be the Cataclysm/Aftershock/Road to NML stuff so hopefully the main NML series will get an omnibus next

I went from disappointed to happy that DC is collecting Byrne's Man of Steel run in non-Omni hardcovers.

Because, in Omnibus, they won't include Legends. And I absolutely think the 6 measly Legends issues around the key awesome Superman tie-ins should be collected with Byrne's Superman run. So with comic binding, I can make that happen. I have the original Man of Steel volumes, but they aren't so good for comic binding at all (don't include all covers, covers on the last story pages, etc).

Just to follow up on Promethea vol.3; ToW now has it listed as "shipping date to be determined", so I guess it got pushed back.

It was resolicited in last week's solicits. The new release date is 22 December 2020.

When you return from the alternate reality in which DC doesn't cancel everything Starman-related, let us know what other interesting books DC put out there.

It has been a while DC cancelled anything outright. There have been a few books rescheduled, but the last time there was anything cancelled, was last year. Maybe there's a good chance that we'll see this?

Have any of these giant compendiums been released yet? I noticed solicits for Fables and Y The Last Man, too, and I’m sure there are others. I myself haven’t seen one in person, and I keep picturing a phone book.

Long having missed out on the Starman omnis I’m willing to pick this up, but I’m just wondering about readability.

There have been two released so far: Ex Machina Vol 1 collecting 27 issues, and DMZ Vol 1 collecting 36 issues. I've flicked through them in a shop, and they seem manageable.

Should I get Green Lantern/Green Arrow: Space Traveler by O'Neill & Mike Grell TPB? Is it worth 40 bucks? Recommendations are welcomed!

Ah cool, thanks! It remains DC though, not sure if there ever will be a NML omni haha

Just for clarity, that is a hard cover.

It is a collection of mid-1970s GL/GA adventures, following on the heels of Hard Travelling Heroes(the more highly regarded series that are the "classic" GL/GA adventures).

It is clearly a product of its time but good Grell art was a sell for me.

For someone who is sick to the back teeth of Batman is it worth me cracking open my injustice gods among us omnibus, or is it completely Bat-centric?

I read a bit of it and was really enjoying it. Will definitely go back to it once I’m done moving. If anything, it’s more superman-centric so you should be fine.

Batman may be a loner, but he can't always do it alone. In this oversize hardcover collection, current Batman writer James Tynion IV is joined by an all-star team of artists as someone targets Batman's allies in Gotham City—young, untested heroes who model themselves after the Dark Knight but don't have his training or resources. With the help of Batwoman, the Caped Crusader recruits these young vigilantes, training them to be a team worthy of Gotham's biggest threats.
Red Robin, Spoiler, Orphan, and Clayface are the first heroes to get recruited. But can a team inspired by Batman and trained by Batwoman take on an entire anti-vigilante army? Or will Batman's vision of a team of Bat-heroes go down in flames? And as Cassandra Cain and Azrael join, can this team withstand the threat of the Order of St. Dumas? Or will inner conflict doom this alliance?
Collects Detective Comics #934-981 and pages from issue #1000, Detective Comics Annual #1, Batman #7-8, and Nightwing #5-6.
