Standard sized
Deluxe
Omnibus
Absolute
Terrible is D C releasing Kings Miracle Man in trade paperback first
and not a hard cover deluxe or better
So apparently DC canceled the Batgirl of Burnside Omnibus
I know DC cancels quite a bit of their books but this is the first time it has been one I planned on purchasing.
Seems like an odd choice as I remember it being a popular title.
^That sucks. DCs solicit game is growing tiresome
Here's what Previews list as being cancelled by DC so far in 2019:
ADAM STRANGE THE SILVER AGE TP VOL 01
BATMAN SHAMAN TP
DETECTIVE COMICS BEFORE BATMAN OMNIBUS HC VOL 1 & 2
GREEN LANTERN KYLE RAYNER TP VOL 03
SHAZAM POWER OF HOPE HC
SLEEPER TP BOOK 02
WONDER WOMAN SPIRIT OF TRUTH HC
SUPERMAN BATMAN TP VOL 07
And now we can add the Hush Omnibus, the Burnside Omnibus, and the Absolute Dark Knight reprint as well.
That's 11 books so far, and we're only 6 weeks into the year. I realise that DC needs to make a profit and at least one of those cancellations isn't for financial reasons, but they're looking like amateurs at this point. Surely they have people who can make reasonable sales estimates before they solicit books?
Personally, at this point, when it comes to a series of books, I'm holding off on buying anything until the last volume has been printed, starting with the Lucifer Omnibus series. I realise that this doesn't necessarily help DC, but getting only part of the story doesn't help me. And I'm getting tired of looking at orphaned books on my shelves.

Even going in pretty much knowing that it'd get canceled before being completed, I'm still sad about vol. 3 of Kyle's run getting cancelled. Was at least hoping to get to the GL/GA crossover and Hal's funeral (Final Night reprint please?), which probably would've been in vol. 4. I'll probably end up re-reading the series in digital at this point.
Also, wasn't that Superman/Batman TP the very last in that series? That's so much worse if that's the case.

They cancelled this?!
Looking forward to the Phil Jimenez Wonder Woman Omnibus this month.
I loved his run on the book.
