    Very disappointing that the JLA omni has been made creator centric and skips issues. Also, looks like the Road to No Man’s Land omni collects almost the entirety of Cataclysm and Road to No Man’s Land Vol 1 and 2 tpbs. Seems to only be missing Batman #553 and Batman: No Man’s Land Secret Files and Origins #1 though those two issues might still be in the final book as DC sometimes misstated the issues that will be contained in these omnis. Also, Azrael #51-52 are actually in No Man’s Land Vol 1 tpb and not in the Road to No Man’s Land trades.

    i'm ehhh about this. no man's land kind of follows a series of stories that begin with contagion, then go into legacy, then cataclysm and nml. it would have been cooler if they branded the omnibuses with this in mind, like the no man's land saga or something like that, and collected all the stories that led to this big story. this collection doesn't really start at the beginning imo.

    I'm a bit disappointed about the JLA omni skipping a few issues (also, no JLA: Classified 1-3?), but hopefully we get a JLA by Waid book that grabs all but one of them. Is it too much to hope for that and JLA by Joe Kelly (including JLE)? Please?

    I get the argument for wanting Contagion and Legacy as an initial RNML omnibus, but there's no reason DC can't come back to that material. As long as they give it matching trade dress, I don't really care too much what they call it. I'd be more interested to see if we get a New Gotham omni (probably more than one would be necessary) after they finish NML. I love that material (Brubaker, Rucka, Officer Down, GK by Grayson)

    Am I missing something about the JLA Solicitation? 33 issues plus JLA 1,000,000 and JLA Earth 2 and it is over 1,500 pages? How can that mapping be correct? That is over 45 pages per entry which can't be correct, even with filler and bonus material. Even if you subtract the full page count for the JLA 1,000,000 and Earth 2 trades, it leaves over 33 pages per listed issue.

    Also really disappointed in the solicits for the JLA omnibus - more for it only being Morrison. I'd rather it be a straight 1-41. JLA Classified 1-3 would be a nice bonus, but let's be honest, those belonged in the Seven Soldiers omnibus. The One Million issue and the Earth 2 OGN aren't really needed as they're already collected in the One Million omnibus and the standalone Earth 2 Deluxe.
