No Man's Land Vol 2 at $150 with it having 1112 pages?!?

Paper is expensive and Omnibus releases will continue to increase in price. The Spectre Omnibus had only 700 pages and came at $125.

[newparisian]

For sure getting American Vampire.
Not NML. I didn't get the first volume either. Just too much filler when it comes to DC/Marvel event-specific omnis.

I honestly don't think page count has any bearing on the price on these books.

[SJNeal]

There are a lot of page counts/price points that don't make any sense in the new solicits as well. Once upon a time you could count on a 1200 page and above book being $125, there are now a bunch at that price coming in at 700-800 page counts. On the other hand, there are some that are still $100.

I think more and more it depends on the character and/or creative team, and the publishers milking the big names for big bucks...

In general it has. There may have been a few exceptions, but in the past thicker Omnibusses have been more expensive, and I don't think this will change in the future.
You'll never see a 500 page Omnibus as expensive as $150 or a 1500+ page Omnibus as cheap as $100.

[Avengers1986]

the conan omnis and xmen by jim lee omnis were the first ones where I noticed a lower page count relative to the $125 cost. not sure how long the golden age omnis from dc might have been overpriced

True, but just like SJNeal said above, if they're releasing a book they know is gonna sell like hot cakes, I don't think they mind bumping up the price one step above the regular price.

As soon as they got past where the Archives left off. When they were reprinting material that’d already been restored for the Archives, the volumes were cheaper. Once they started having to restore the material, the prices shot up.
