    Ugh, and at $25 to boot too, so more expensive than the floppies. I guess I’ll just pare down my reading and await an eventual OHC for the more well received runs.

    Anyone think Action Comics 1000 will be collected anywhere besides the deluxe? I suppose a trade would be no different than the original comic.

    So I'm reading and fairly enjoying the Darkseid war omnibus, it scratches the superhero battle itch I had. Question is, should I get Trinity war and Forever evil or just call it a day with Darkseid war?

    I'm in for Teen Titans and maybe the Doom Patrol. I'm not familiar with Bronze Age DP so I may wait a bit for reviews. The Crisis Box looks nice but it'll probably be out of my price range.

    The first 33 issues of BATMAN from the New 52 era by writer Scott Snyder, artist Greg Capullo and others are collected in this new hardcover! These are the tales that introduced the deadly Court of Owls, brought back The Joker (minus his face!), delved into the Dark Knight’s past in “Zero Year,” and plunged Gotham City into darkness, courtesy of the Riddler! It’s an epic, acclaimed and bestselling run that you will want to revisit again and again!
    ON SALE 10.16.19
    $125.00 US | 1,152 PAGES

    Still pretty vague what the content is. First 33 issues. What about the Annuals and the zero issue?

    I personally, highly recommend it. It was one of the first comics I ever wrote (something of a newbie here) and I was blown away. Its completely different than Morrisons AM, but thats not to say its any worse. I would dare put it on par with it. Of course, I might be biased, but I can't recommend it enough.

    I am cool with them just including issues 12 & 17 of Swamp Thing,

    also will be getting the King Batman deluxe vol.4 and the Scott Snyder New 52 Batman omnibus vol.1
    and the New Teen Titans omnibus vol.4
    That Doom Patrol Bronze Age omnibus is pathetic .......... everything in it is basically quarter bin throw away (IMHO)
    This is why D C continues to have problems with there omnibuses (besides binding and quality control)
    I understand there are fans of the material (I am) but there is far too much higher in demand material from
    the Bronze Age D C has not even fanned a whiff of towards the fans and collectors like Early Jonah Hex
    and Bronze Age Green Lantern and Bronze age Superman and than there are heroes that have no respect
    in omnibuses like Bronze/ Copper age Firestorm and Spectre and Infinity Inc (and many many more that
    deserve much more than a cherry picking of Doom Patrol appearances that filtered down between
    Doom Patrol 124 and Grant Morrison's epic Doom Patrol #19 from volume #2.
    Soule's works after he left DC were...not great. His Swamp Thing was amazing. I dug the horror creep show that Snyder went after but Soule just had a blast with it. I love the new Parliaments, and I love how he even brought back some ultra obscure Swamp Thing stuff from Doug Wheelers run. Excellent stuff.

    Does this box actually add anything if you already have all the Justice League Silver And Bronze Age Omnibuses and the Deluxe Editions of COIE and its two companion releases?

    The crisis box set will probably get discounted down to around $300
    and most of the material looks cool (especially for a old read "SPOTLIGHT ON ME" who already
    experienced those issues and has adapted to the changes in writing and art in comics over the decades) but if the actual
    size of each book turns out to be small in dimensions (like the latest Bendis Superman collected HC) than I don't think I
    will want it. On the other hand, if the books are the same size as the deluxe books, than this will get my attention.

    Looking at the actual dimensions of the box
    DIMENSIONS: APPROX. 12.5” high x 13.5” wide x 8” deep
    WEIGHT: APPROX. 28 lbs.

    it appears they will be deluxe sixe
    and something I will think about getting.

    Also another Y The Last Man collection to add to my dilemma of which to get. I currently have the 5 HCs but was debating the Absolutes. But maybe just the omnibus.

    IMO, Darkseid War was far superior to both. I thought Trinity War was bad and I remember liking the build-up and follow-up to Forever Evil in Johns' Justice League more than I liked the actual event itself. Forever Evil also gave us Grayson, another feather in the cap of things Forever Evil-related without actually recommending the series itself.

    That said, it wasn't bad. Darkseid War > Forever Evil > Trinity War. IMO.

    Lucifer remains the only Sandman-related work that I've enjoyed since the original series. I was never able to get into The Dreaming or The Dead Boy Detectives or anything like that. OK, scratch that, I loved both Death minis, but Lucifer is a worthy companion piece to Sandman and I feel I must now have this on my shelf.

    Thanks for the feedback.
