    I have noticed multiple canceled titles have remained on their site months after cancellation. IIRC The Batgirl of Burnside Omnibus was listed up until its "release date" and then removed from the site.

    Yeah, but that Supes omni was put on their site after the supposed cancellation.

    The only thing you can be sure of at the moment when it comes to the release of a DC collected edition is you can’t be sure of anything. The current upheaval has only made a bad situation worse, as far as knowing what books are coming out and what will be in them.

    Given that DC rarely seems to have a long-term plan, I would put little stock in what third party websites display. At the moment, you cannot know what DC will release until it’s actually released. Hopefully they will get it together and stop blaming every nonsensical thing under the sun for poor sales and realize that their inability to properly communicate what is coming out, when, and what the contents will be, along with an inability to continue a line of books that doesn’t have the name Johns on it, is hurting them much more than the volume number on a given book.

    Has the binding in the Snyder Batman omnibus been fixed?

    It's on Diamond's most recent cancellation list (here), so it's definitely cancelled. It's due to be resolicited in a different format, i.e. a standard sized hardcover.

    Really tight leading to a lot of gutter loss.

    Like most books with that amount of pages form DC, nothing new.

    I received a cancellation notice from DCBS this morning for Absolute Swamp Thing by Alan Moore Vol. 2.

    It did say it would be resolicited at a later date; given the same thing happened to Vol. 1 I'm hoping that's the case. *crosses fingers*

    I'm assuming the first one sold well enough where they wouldn't cancel the next one.
    But then who even knows with DC anymore!

    I think Moore is one of the few writers DC makes sure to keep in print.

    Now that I think about it, the cover for vol. 1 isn't what was originally advanced solicited before the temporary cancellation. Vol. 2 was solicited with the cover of Swamp Thing #171, which was during Mark Millar's run. I'm not sure that's a big enough change to warrant a delay in printing/shipping, as covers change fairly frequently, but who knows...?
