"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" - Optimus Prime
It looks like this book will collect the earlier Who's Who series, as opposed to the hole-punched loose leaf series from the early 90's. I could be wrong though.
Either way, I'm shocked to see it collected at all. Given DC's penchant for rebooting, they've tended to shy away from declaring anything as "definitive" for many years now.
Not to nay say anyone's excitement about this, but when Marvel Announced their 'Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe' omnibus, I was overjoyed. I POURED over those books when I was a kid, before the internet - I'd come across a Cap story where he was fighting Arcade, and not being an X-men fan, I had no clue who that was -> pull out the handbook and read about him.
Anyways, I got it, opened the seal, flipped through it... and haven't looked at it since. I think the IDEA of it excites me more then the actual product. Will you use it as a reference tool? Of course not, the material is mega dated, and the internet is at your fingertips. Is it cool? Hell yes. Will DC's be cool? Hell yes. But just realize that it's not something you're (probably) going to pour over like you did when you were a kid; it's just different now. At least in my experience.
"Boomerang arrow, Kate... It comes back to you in the end. Boomerang. Respect it." - Clint
"Why the hell do you need an arrow that comes back to you after you shoot it, Clint?" - Kate
"Because... Boomerangs." - Clint.

Didn’t think we’d ever get the Connor Hawke stuff collected.
Power of Shazam! is a must have, Even though I know DC wont follow through past a volume or two of Connor Hawke I'm tempted. I have a much greater appreciation of Chuck Dixon after reading his Birds of Prey and Robin collections from kindle sales. Hopefully it get's at least a volume 2.
I hate double dipping. However, we can't really be sure this is a possible double dip situation. (My inner monologue for reference)
I love the Connor Hawke era of Green Arrow. Never thought we'd see collections but I largely, very largely only buy Omnis.
We may never see this era in Omnis so buying these TPBs is ok this time. These, I crack myself up. A volume 2 isn't guaranteed, this is DC of course.

Wonder if a third one will be printed to include his Rebirth mini and lead up to Flashpoint?
