Speaking of dramatically dwindling, we are pretty much one month away from the last announced Omnibus from DC. The reprint of Tomasi’s Batman and Robin, releasing January 17th (according to Amazon). There are some others between now and then, but after that we are blind to any future omnibus editions, new or reprint. It’s going to be a sad day.

Conversation Starter: What canceled collection do you wish the most actually got released?
Personally I wish DC went through with the Before Watchmen: Blue Beetle and Question hardcover. I thought the title was a bit shameless, but it would've been nice to see the Charlton Blue Beetle and Question material reprinted.
A close second would be the Monster Society of Evil hardcover. The CC Beck/Otto Binder run is considered legendary and one of the best comics of the Golden Age. The audience that reads Golden Age comics are well aware of the potentially racist content that's a staple of comics made in the 1940s.
I'm aware that Steamboat is a major character in those old CM comics, but there's depiction of black face in Golden Age Wonder Woman comics and yellow face in Golden Age Captain America comics and those have been reprinted.

A couple I'd forgotten about that were actually solicited then withdrawn:
Aquaman by Peter David vol. 3
Power of Shazam Vol. 2 - The Worm Turns
LEgion of Super-Heroes 5 Years Later Vol. 1 - I know this became an Omnibus instead but I found that book too unwieldy
Batman Golden Age Omnibus 1-9 and Batman Silver Age Omnibus 1 - now we need DC to release Golden Age Omnibus 10 to plug that gap!

It is a great run but for sure this gap needs to be plugged. Despite the glacial activity out of the DC CE dept I have to believe someone(s) are working on a Batman GA vol.10 even if it is just one of their duties.
For instance Employee X has 8 projects they are working on with a varied state of urgency due to....reasons but B:GA vol.10 is one of those. So where other projects may get hours each day per week devoted to them perhaps our book only gets a few hours on just one day a week....but it is coming!!!! *fingers crossed*
