[signalman112]

YES! So Happy to have the Batman Brave & Bold #3 omnibus. Looooonggg time coming.
Not surprised that the Nemesis backups are missing.
But was pleasantly surprised they included the one page Bat-Mite story from #200.

Agreed, I honestly thought this would never come out!

I wonder how they are going to handle the Batman appearances before issue #74 when he became the headliner - hopefully they will just include them in the Silver Age Batman omnibuses

Is that Batman Black and White standard or oversized?

[Brian]

It doesn't have deluxe in the title, so I'm assuming standard size.

[The Lucky One]

I was wondering the same thing — based on the Amazon listing, it’s standard. Shame, I was thinking of getting it before realizing that.

Did anyone read the miniseries? How does it compare with the original mini and Gotham Knights backups?

I really wanted to pick this up, but probably gonna pass. These books are always a hodge-podge, but the contents of the WW volume are particularly disappointing. I think the issue I'm most excited to see reprinted is the Taco Whiz one!

I read it. It's not worth 50 bucks. It was...hit and miss. a couple really good stories a lot of meh and a few wtf. I would recommend waiting for the paperback

If you could pick just one in print, omnibus or absolute edition of a series, which would it be?

Like to just magically appear on my shelf right now? Absolute Swamp Thing by Alan Moore Vol. 2

Yeah I suppose so? My wife is struggling to find me an anniversary gift so I am leaving breadcrumbs behind that will lead to an Absolute or Omnibus.

Tell her you want Absolute Swamp Thing by Alan Moore Vol. 2... then give it to me when you're done!

2 birds (struggles?), 1 stone!

I've made some spare space on my shelves (I get my own shelves for my books, as she does for hers) for 4 big books coming over the next year, as I fill those spaces up, there's no way my wife would know those spaces were previously empty.

I think I will slowly be getting rid of some of the New 52 books I hardcore fan purchased and justified at the time, but now see... They're not that great... And leave room for superior books.
