"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" - Optimus Prime
Did Absolute Swamp Thing by Moore Vol 2 ever go up for sale on IST today?
Except the Moore Swamp Thing run is an acclaimed run much like Watchmen so it isn't odd that material is getting upgrades.
The nu52run while really good didn't lend itself to thinking DC would pull this. Not much nu52material has been made into an Omni, fewer OHC unless you are a Bat/Supes type related book.
Totally a first world problem since Malaria isn't an issue for me.
"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" - Optimus Prime
While not being put out by DC themselves, the late 00s DC title Simon Dark is being collected by Clover Press in a new hardcover printing.
I never read this series but I believe it was a rare case of a creator-owned book/character published by DC that was set in the main DCU - which makes me wonder if those references will be removed for this reprinting.Simon Dark is a strange creature of arcane science and occult magic, the defender of one of his city's forgotten neighborhoods. He is also a scared and lonely teenage boy who has been sewn together from body parts.
Protecting his neighborhood won't be easy when the opposing forces of dark magic and forbidden science choose it as their battleground. It will take the help of a beautiful coroner and a smitten teenage girl to help Simon stitch together the pieces of his former life and the mystery of his birth... or else death waits them all.
Acclaimed horror writer Steve Niles (30 Days of Night, October Faction) teams up with artist Scott Hampton (Books of Magic, Batman: Night Cries) to bring their dark imagination to a new kind of hero.
Collected in a single volume for the first time, this material was originally published by DC Comics as Simon Dark #'s 1 to 18.

Not really an apples to apples comparison. Standard 7x10 trim hardcovers are quite different than Absolute editions. There's literally zero difference between an 8x11 oversized hardcover/deluxe and an 8x11 omnibus, other than the word "omnibus" on the second one which would typically(but not always) contain more pages. They're effectively the same type of book.
