    Good info, thanks. I'm still watching for a Volume 1 omnibus that is either cheap or verified as a second printing.

    Did the Wonder Woman by Gail Simone omnibus actually get released or was it delayed? Doesn't seem to be available anywhere.

    Released in March 2020. At least in Germany it's still available:

    Interesting, seems to have disappeared in the US. Thanks for the link.

    I got it in the UK at release time. It's very nice

    Finally picked up the Lucifer Omnibus, the binding was separating a little bit so I ordered a replacement instead of trying to reglue it. My replacement came in, and to my surprise, the binding on this version was awful. Super tight compared to the first, and upon closer inspection it turns out this new one is a second print.

    So fyi guys from my limited exposure it seems that the second printing has an inferior binding to the first printing. I could have just gotten a lemon but the way DC makes decisions with collected editions I wouldn't be surprised.

    There's a new paperback series which started 2020:

    Book 2 is annouced for 2021:

    https://www.amazon.com/Justice-Leagu...4227975&sr=8-1

    Of course, like 90% of all DC paperback series, this will be simply cancelled at some point and remain incomplete, so better buy the Omnibus ...
    Thanks, I'll see if IST has it for cheaper too.

    Wanted to get this Lucifer Omnibus but I instead got the 5 tpbs that they put out and I’m really happy with them.

    I ordered mine back in March from IST and have almost finished reading it. It was available all over for a few months but might have dried up by now. It seems like a lot of DC books that were available everywhere are starting to disappear (JSA 3, etc...), not sure if it is due to the Diamond situation or if places are legitimately running out of stock.

    It's standard trim size, right?

    Bummer. I remember reading Mad Monk and Monster Men waaay back when the came out and enjoying them. If this was oversized, I'd be all over it. I'll wait for a tpb version of it
