    These will be standard size yes? I still need to upgrade those from my very old German versions and it seems like a nice way to do it, but OHC would be nice. Otherwise I will buy the more recent OHC versions.

    All Deluxes should be oversized, yes.

    Received my Infinite Crisis Omnibus today. This thing is monstrously huge. I look forward to reading it despite knowing very little about the story (other than “Sacrifice” which I read a few years ago digitally.) Many here said they’d enjoyed it, so despite my preference of late-Silver and Bronze Age material over more modern comics, I decided to take a chance.

    I just opened my IST order with Infinite Crisis. Going to crack it open shortly and check it out.

    I relaxed the spine on mine just now. Looks solid.

    I planned to just flip through and ended up reading 4-5 issues which I was really enjoying. Looking forward to getting more into it.

    I just ordered Batman by Doug Moench & Kelley Jones vol 2, despite not having vol 1. I hope this wasn’t a mistake. Vol 1 is out of stock seemingly everywhere (or being sold above cover price), which seems like a huge oversight on DC’s part when releasing a follow up volume.

    Was it a Hardcover or a TPB? I seem to recall conflicting solicits for that one...?

    I have vol. 1 HC, and if vol. 2 is going to be paperback only, I'll probably hold off in the hopes that vol. 1 is reprinted in paperback as well.

    It definitely looks like Hardcover, fortunately. Below is a link to it on IST:

    I may put my order in tomorrow.

    Vol. 2 is also a hardcover.

    Those Moench/Jones Batman stories were my first superhero comics that I bought when they got out in Germany in the late 90s I think. Those issues got lost in moves and while I took a long break from collecting. I am so happy that I have them available in 2 hcs. I can't talk about these without a very very great love. To me those stories and the horroresque artwork are just beyond. Maybe a reason why vol 1 is hard to find is the long time in between the two books? Also it seems to be rather common nowadays with Hickvangers 1 E. G. I hope you find a copy!

    Great, thanks!

    You know those early DC solicits can't be trusted...

    I’ve read about 350 pages from the Infinite Crisis Omnibus. Modern books are a much faster read for me than the older books.

    I’m just not quite sure how anything I’ve read so far ties into a “Crisis” style event, and with what HAS been referenced so far, why Identity Crisis wasn’t included (not that I liked that very much.)

    Anyway, I am liking it so far, but nothing Crisis-worthy in my opinion (yet.) And I really like the thicker stock of paper DC uses in their Omnibus releases compared to Marvel.
