According to the Amazon listing the Phantom Stranger Omni collects The Phantom Stranger #1-6 (1952), The Phantom Stranger #1-41 (1969), stories from The Saga of the Swamp Thing #1-13, Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe #18, The Brave and the Bold #89, #98, #145, Showcase #80, Justice League of America #103, House of Secrets #150, DC Super-Stars #18, Secret Origins #10 and DC Comics Presents #25, and #72.
Definitely a must buy for me. I've never read the 1952 stories but I love the 60's run.

The third TPB was released more than two years ago (in May 2019) and so far there wasn't a solicitation for the remainder of 2021, so that was to be expected. (Very few TPB series get a continuation after more than two and a half years.)

I'm glad they decided to put out the JL N52 vol 2 so quickly after vol 1.

I'll definitely be picking up the Justice League New 52 Vol. 2 Omnibus. I see they're including Darkseid War. I never did get around to picking up the Darkseid Omnibus.
Also Superman GA Vol. 7 Omnibus. Not sure whether to pick up the Death of Superman Omnibus new edition and upgrade from my Omnibus (the original oversized Omnibus which exclude those few extra issues from the last edition).
May possibly pick up the 52 new edition Omnibus.

So is the N52 JL omnibus effectively replacing the Darkseid War Omnibus? Or is there material in the Darkseid War that's left out of the upcoming one? Originally Posted by Raffi Ol D'Arcy

These are the listed contents for Vol 2: Originally Posted by ER Prest

If those end up being the published contents, then I think everything in the Darkseid War omni is collected here as well.

The only thing it seems to be missing is material from DC Comics Convergence #1. Not sure how important this is as I never read any of the Convergence comics. Any one know?

I think that's meant to be DC Comics Divergence #1. Divergence was DC's Free Comic Book Day book for 2015 and included three stories/Sneak Peeks; Gene Luen Yang's Superman, the post Endgame Batman, and a prologue to Darkseid War in JL. So what's listed as the DC Sneak Peek: Justice League #1 in Vol 2 is the material from DC Comics Divergence #1. Originally Posted by Raffi Ol D'Arcy

That's probably a good thing that Convergence is not in this new book, cuz that story was not good Originally Posted by Raffi Ol D'Arcy

Yeah, super frustrating. My fingers are still crossed that we actually see the final trade of PAD's Young Justice. Originally Posted by shaboo

DC's collected editions dept has made some positive steps recently, but I guess we can't win 'em all...

Ok, so we're getting the Darkseid prologue from the FCBD, gotcha. These are going to be two very comprehensive JL N52 Omnibuses. Originally Posted by Brian

Uhg. While I'm glad it'll be collected in its entirety, between the N52 JL ohc a few months ago, and the Darkseid War omnibus from the other year, I'm kind of getting a bit pissed off at DC's decisions of late Originally Posted by Raffi Ol D'Arcy

Cash is king, my friend. And it's much more cost effective for them to just re-package the same material in similar formats over and over than it is to reprint previously uncollected material... Originally Posted by ER Prest

I feel your pain. I got burned on the Super Sons Omnibus and Death of Supes Omnibus. I fortunately managed to offload the former and buy the extended edition. Still figuring what to do with the latter. Originally Posted by ER Prest
