What should I buy next - Batman by Loeb & Sale omni or Batman Knightfall omni 1?
I haven't read any of the material but am interested in both.
I just finished reading Absolute Swamp Thing. I intend to find a book repair place or try to glue on my own. The new colors look terrific. I hope it's rare that these books come apart. The format is so terrific for artwork and reading experience. I am also paranoid about my other books. Do I need to check my other Absolute editions?
The Loeb & Sale stories certainly focus more in the detective side of Batman and they're inspired greatly by the film noir and gangster movies. It has an unique atmosphere and distinguished look
Knightfall on the other hand is a more action and standard superhero story, but a really great one at it. It depicts the fall of this seemengly unbeatable man and, though counting with a lot of writers and pencillers, it has an incredible and uniform quality, something hard to achieve in a crossover with so many hands involved
I'm a big fan of both and recommend to eventually get both, but from where to begin depends in what you're looking for right now

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I'll snag the Loeb/Sale omni first and hope the Knightfall ones stick around for awhile. I love long, continuing storylines so I'll definitely snag those. Then there's tons of TPBs after those like No Man's Land...got plenty to buy in the future looks like.
Can anyone confirm the trim size of the DCeased hardcover? Is it the standard 7x10, or is the the 9x11 they did with Superman Year One and Batman Damned?
