DC's collections department is a shambles right now. I was just looking at my shelves and wondering what the next series to get orphaned will be. It's not looking good for the Superman: City of Tomorrow series right now. The fact that this wasn't sold as a Superman By Jeph Loeb and Joe kelly Omnibus series is mind-blowing.
How have we never seen a Deluxe or Absolute edition of Darwyn Cooke's Spirit run? So may wasted opportunities.
Release date update - Batman: The Dark Knight Detective Vol. 6 has been moved back from Nov 2021 to Jan 2022 (thankfully not 2079!)
Found Starman Compendium 1 at my local store and it contains:
Starman 0-42
Starman Annual 1-2
Starman 80 page giant 1
Starman Secret Files & Origins 1
Power of Shazam 35-36
Stories from Showcase ‘95 #12 & Showcase ‘96 #4-5
The Shade 1-4

I went ahead and got the Supes omni by Tomasi & Gleason from amazon, as they kept lowering the price, and I ended up biting when it went down to $64. That, and while I haven't read that run, I've heard it's great - is it?
I flipped through a copy at my shop yesterday. While I love that they're finally going to complete reprinting this masterpiece, I was not sold on the build of the book. It's soooo damn thick! And while gutter loss wasn't too bad, it just felt flimsy and weak. I'm not sure how many re-readings it will hold up to...
I agree. The size of that Starman book is just too much. Im sadly passing on it. Seems like it will fall apart - and just completely uncomfortable to read.
On the flipside - I love that DC is splitting the upcoming Question Omni into at least 2 volumes. 800-900 pages a book is perfect rather than a 1500 page monster.
Currently Reading:
Milligan's Shade the Changing Man, Vertigo Hellblazer trades, Love and Rockets TPBs, Stray Bullets TPBs, Ellis' The Wildstorm
I have 3 of DC’s compendiums and none of them have shown any signs of damage after reading them, but my Irredeemable omnibus by Boom which is also a paperback has completely fallen apart after reading it.
