Thanks for the shots of the Batman Gallery Edition a few pages back. I can't wait for the Dark Knight Returns volume.
Miller was right.
Been thinking about it recently and here are my thoughts.
OHC and Omnis from Marvel look great on shelf but they really shine when you have more and more of them. And the more you get the more you want, just you can make your collection look better. It doesn't matter some of them are crappy or are rip-offs made for money, nothing else; you look on your shelf and you see all those books standing next to each other, with similar design, with those black-red-white spines smilling at you, and you have that thought: 'I want them all!' Like pokemons. You can post pics with your collection, people would get impressed, you can make some videos and post them on YT and all of that makes you feel better about yourself.
With DC it's different, all those spines and dustcovers, there is no sense, no regular pattern, they don't catch your eye, or people who visit you, those book sit there but look less important.
BTW my Batman Gallery Edition has arrived and this is by far my best purchase. Thing is huge - do people still say 'that's what she said'? - sturdy, I have no bloody idea where to put it, when I compared it with Absolute Sandman, latter looked like floppy book. I've paid 57 quid with p&p, so not bad at all. Pics will be coming soon.
I agree. Now that I have about a half dozen they don't look like they belong together, like they exist together. May as well be an Image/IDW/DC Omni next to each other.
The Marvel Spines all, mostly, having that uniform look is very appealing. Doesn't mean I'm not going to get more DC Omni's but a uniform look like the Marvel ones would be an added bonus.

I really want these, especially the Wonder Woman. I have his entire run in TPB and singles, but not in omnibus.
I have one DC omnibus, and that is The Flash vol. 1, but I'm afraid to buy more because I'm unsure of the quality of them. I've read the quality of the binding is shit. But my Flash omnibus is pretty damn nice. It's not sewn, but it's nice.

Sadly I didn't really receive anything book wise this year from my family, however a buddy of mine bought me the Ronin Deluxe Edition, which is good I guess, though I wasn't really interested in buying it because the art looked... Eh... But I guess I'll give it a shot now!
Is the bill Finger run a much wanted omnibus of Batman? Or is it the O'neil or Adams run?
