    I'm pretty sure it happened in Hush.

    The answer's probably kind of obvious, but I've been on the fence about possibly buying volume 1 of both the golden age Wonder Woman & Captain America omnibus collections........My thing is, I don't enjoy reading material from the golden age (What limited amount I have read, that is). Is it worth it for me to buy these, as in are there some really cool supplemental features in the book, or are these straight-out collections of the old material without any extra material?

    There’s no supplemental material, just the issues. If you’re interested in the history of the characters in the Golden Age but not the actual stories, Les Daniels did a hardcover book apiece about Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

    Nice!

    Next volume should reach the end of the Comic Cavalcade stories, which swapped out WW, Flash, and the Green Lantern for funny animals after issue 29. After that, another volume will probably bring us to the end of Sensation Comics (#106). And after that, it’s just the main Wonder Woman title until issue 97 (end of Wondy’s Golden Age).

    I hate to take credit for this Robin #0 addition to the Batman Prodigal tpb, but I asked for it recently and DC responded they would look into it.

Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

    I am. I think the moral of the story is that, while no one should pester DC by contacting them too much, if you see a solicit that has an obvious clear error or omission, DC will listen.

    Lol. You should be worried about Snyder actually finishing the series before V2 even comes to fruition.

I don't imagine they have much left to write (I'm gonna completely guess and say 10-12 issues), so it's just a matter of finding time to wrap it up at this point.

    A shame it was put on the back burner. I really love this series (this and black mirror are my favorites by him) and i would recommend getting the omni anyways as it's quite enjoyable, even without the rest
