As a Howard Chaykin fan, I'd love to get the Blackhawk collection. But with DC's history of soliciting then cancelling older material, I'm not holding my breath.
I think I asked this last year, but are we likely to see a Bronze Age / Silver Age Aquaman omnibus? I know we have had the 80s/90s stuff.
Batgirl Bronze Age vol.2 - completes all Bronze age fare, I mean it even dabbles into "Modern Age" with Batgirl Special #1 (1988) in there.
I do hope that Cory, MMW contributor and Collected Ed master, says his sources indicated that Batman B&B vol. 3 and Joker would be resolicited.
We all hope so. DC may feel the need to reduce output, and I think we all get that, we just would rather they complete already begun runs rather than start new ones. Right, that's the general feeling?

So I tried searching this thread as well as the Superman forum (while trying to dodge "spoilers"), but didn't really find an answer; I'm half-through the Superman-Exile omni and plan to buy the Death/Return omni rerelease next week...are there TPBs that fill the gap between these two omnis? I don't do digital though.
There are some tpb's but most of them are 90's prints and hard to find in good condition, like Eradication, Krisis of the crimson kryptonite and Time and time again. And then there are two recent reprinted trades, Dark Knight over Metropolis and Panic in the sky. But unfortunately the most of that era is uncollected.
I'm also currently reading the Exile omni and I'm about halfway through. It's much better than I anticipated. What are your thoughts on it?
I first started reading Superman (and comics in general) just after this omni concludes, so I'm also a little disappointed that there's not another volume right after this. Maybe it will be on the DC Universe app later in the month?
I finally got around to reading Abnetts Aquaman V.6 and his Mera mini series. Boy was Aquaman dragged out, and Mera was mostly a missed opportunity. But then what the heck happened with all these crossovers?! There is no Aquaman V.7, its just the JL and Suicide Squad crossovera. Looks like ill be skipping those, unless they're actually good.
Also, has anyone commented on how DC is subtly giving everyone a fresh start/clean slate? Red Hood, GL, Aquaman, Supergirl, all starting back on Vol.1s. Are they trying to keep the readership going strong without high volume numbers?
Cool, I'm really enjoying it too. I started my post-Crisis reading last year with the 9 TPBs. I loved the Byrne stuff and some of the other stories, but the material is actually even better in this omni. Mostly because the stories continue between each of the three titles, where before it was pretty disjointed.
I also really wish they'd continue the omnibus treatment after the Exile one, but I'll probably just skip ahead to the Death/Return omni while hitting a few of the tbps in between. The only Superman I'd read before this was some of the Byrne Man of Steel comics back when they came out.
The DC stuff I read most as a kid was Batman, so I decided to read Superman, WW, and Batman starting post-CoIE. Surprisingly, WW and Supes has been the best for me, with Batman being pretty mediocre outside of Year One.
Hello guys. I am thinking of buying Superman Exile Omnibus too. I haven't read many Superman stories , only the Alan Moore stuff , Superman For All Seasons and Superman Secret Identity. Do you believe i will enjoy it? Is it a good starting point for new Superman Readers?
