Thanks to the recent conversations and solicitations, I think I'm buying the Authority omni, Planetary omni, Animal Man omni, Injustice Gods Among Us omni, Lucifer omni and Batman Eternal omni O_O

I'll need to figure out how to budget those over time.

Budget? You mean you guys don't just throw all this on a credit card and forget about it?

I certainly am, but I'm weary that even if this omni comes out, vol. 2 won't get printed.

Nice to see some more Oversized Swamp Thing.

Yeah. I don't understand there policy. But I also hope that if this is a success they do an Unwritten omnibus?

I'll need to figure out how to budget those over time.

okay so here is my two cents, just consider that all of us are different and we like different things but:
The Authority omnibus includes a lot of stuff that might not be as top notch as the original Ellis series.
I do enjoy Mark Millar's follow up and read the Hawksmoore mini (it's a side story about one of the Authority team members, drawn by Fiona Staples if I'm not mistaken) which was okay but I find myself liking Millar's run less and less while the original 12 issue Ellis run holds ups very well.
So my recommendation is maybe go for the standard hc or trade collecting those 12 issues or if you get a good deal on the Absolute. I really feel like you can just read the Ellis run, have a strong, tight reading experience and call it a day.
Also the Planetary omnibus collects the Planetary-Authority crossover and it's not even that good (the best of those one shots is the Batman one). But you should definitely get Planetary

Animal man omnibus is oop so good luck with that, although they just might manage to do a second volume to the recently released deluxe. But since it's DC if you don't want to end up with an orphaned deluxe on the shelf which only collects half the Morrison run I would wait with buying that deluxe.

Same for Lucifer. wait until it's finished or just get the chunky trades. No matter what format you get this series is well worth reading, I was blown away by it.

As far as I'm aware Eternal is more of a companion piece that it's own series but I might be wrong. Also I heard it was just okay. I would definitely vote for any of the other omnibuses in your list over this and I'm pretty sure this run was collected in chunky trades too.
I know omnis look great on the shelf but do you need a Batman Eternal omnibus? Unless you are a huge Bat fan, then sure, I get it.

I read somewhere that DC pulled back on some releases in favor of the new teen books they're publishing. Was a bunch of those in the June solitications.

Quite sure books like the new version of Absolute Dark Knight Returns (especially since Master Race is getting an absolute) will see a release in a year or so. Black label books as the regular trades have sold out. I think it's quite healty, even if they're holding back on some books I was going to buy. I think it can be a good thing they're releasing some new stuff, not only the same old classics again and again (DKR was close on having having three versions out by summer for grud sakes).

Btw. For those who'v missed it. Black label is apperantly still a thing. Superman y 1 is magazine sized, just like Batman Damned.

That said. Hope I don't have to wait too long for the new version of Absolute Dark Knight

Those are good recommendations, I'll look into The Authority HC's. I think I might have created confusion with the Animal Man omni though, I meant the New 52 Lemire run. But it's not like I have to buy these immediately, DC seems to keep them around.

And in truth I'm a big Batman fan, so a Snyder Batman omni of a full run is just going to happen to my wallet, I'll be honest.

Well the proper Snyder capullo Omni is coming too
And yeah sorry I forgot the Lemire animal man omnibus. I'll be getting that one too ��

I think this hadn't been mentioned here:

This series is awesome, but no way should it all be collected in one omnibus. Way too large! Needs to at least be broken into 2 volumes.

Thanks to the recent conversations and solicitations, I think I'm buying the Authority omni, Planetary omni, Animal Man omni, Injustice Gods Among Us omni, Lucifer omni and Batman Eternal omni O_O

I'll need to figure out how to budget those over time.

Authority & Planetary are both great reads. Adding my recommendation to the bucket!

What are people thinking about the Death of Superman omnibus?
