Here's a few pics of the new Batman and Robin omni.Attachment 57932Attachment 57933Attachment 57934

Thx for the pics bob fett. That is one serious beast. I hope the binding will be flexible enough and hold up well. It looks a bit rigid.

Mine is on its way over from IST. It'll be a while before I receive it though, as I'm in Poland.

It's hard to put into words how ugly the two Knightfall Omnibus spines are. I really want to talk to whoever worked on these books and ask them if they are even aware of the concept of book spines and how that is the area of the book that is presented when you place them on bookshelves.

Agreed. I thought it would look like a cohesive villain line up but they just sit there as a visual clutter next to each other. No symmetry or plan at all to them being side by side.

My hope for the future:

[TomSlick]

A Byrne Superman omnibus would be nice although his entire run might need more than one collection.

My hope for the future:

Seriously!!!! Plastic Man too!

I'd be all over this. They'd sit nicely next to the upcoming Exile book.

They could probably do it in 2 giant volumes, or 3 more manageable ones. I'd prefer 3 smaller ones, personally.

The dustjackets are ugly on front & back, as well. I used to enjoy his art so much, but...bleh. Why does Azbats look fat on volume 2? Lol

[Clark_Kent]

Speaking of Knightfall, anyone have any pics of volume 2 they wouldn’t mind sharing? I’ve only seen the covers/spine, and I won’t be getting my copy until next month.

Not very interesting, but the latest absolute (JL Worlds Greatest) different size to all the other absolutes

It’s the same size as it was when first released if I’m not mistaken. Also, I don’t think the first edition was categorized as an Absolute

This I did not know, I probably wouldn’t of felt bad about missing this then, as I gotten into the habit of buying any absolute even though I really can’t stand Ross’s artwork

Yep, I have both versions. Identical dimensions. The exteriors are identical in everyway other then the bottom of the slipcase and the slip of paper with the price/description.

Both are still sealed so I cant tell you if theres any interior differences!

His art doesn’t bother me but the writing in this collection is average at best.
