I'll play devil's advocate for a second. Although I would love a true Starman omnibus, the series just doesn't sell and - although some are expensive - there are hardcover collections at this point. I'm glad that DC is taking a bit of a chance here on what could be considered an offbeat title/series (Impulse) even if it has Mark Waid (whose name should help it sell) on it.
What annoys me - and, again, I know it's a business decision - is the various formats that some titles get collected. How many different versions of DK, Watchmen and Sandman do we have? Hell they invent new formats for these titles.
Correct
Double correct. Release it in tpb with a new cover and then take a chance on another title. There's a lot of effort into "upgrading" Watchmen but at this point I haven't seen anything better than the Absolute edition. I remember groaning when DC released that weird DK3 slipcase edition of Watchmen. I thought it was kind of interesting for DK3 since it was a monthly thing, but to go back for Watchmen? Eh, whatever.
Would anyone else be interested in seeing this series collected?
It was unusual for its time, not your standard super hero story at all plus it features my favorite GL - John Stuart!
I hope the Morrison Batman Omni has not been under printed. I have had it preordered for months with Amazon (uk) and they claim it’s out of stock since release day. A lot of places are out of stock and the ones that have it are full retail price.
I really did not want to buy the Morrison Omnibus soon after release, because I alreday have a good chunk of the material in OHC and wanted to wait until the next volume, but all the talk about it made me jump. Ordered it yesterday from amazon Germany and it arrived a minute ago.
I think there might be a chance of this one going Oop sooner than later but I would not worry yet and probably not for some time to come. This one has MONEY printed right next to the title.
I wouldn't worry about it going oop any time soon. DC has a pretty strong history of keeping their omnis in stock for a while. It may be unavailable for a bit at some point while they resupply however.
