Volume 9 is the final Golden Age Batman volume and it collects Batman #76-84, plus stories from Detective Comics #192-208 and World's Finest Comics #63-70
(WF 71 is in the Silver Age Batman/Superman World's Finest omnibus vol 1 so they are using that as a break point between Gold & Silver Age for Batman and presumably Superman as well)

Yippee Jag2046 that's great news, can you imagine how much these collected issues would have cost as originals WOW!
Hail Hydra!
Maybe someone can help me in the Blackest Night and infinite crisis omnis, are the main event presented in the beginning; or is it in publishing order, scattered throughout the omni?
Just a heads up to anyone still waiting to get them that both the "Batman: Prodigal" & "Batman: Troika" TPB's (released as part of the 9 volume Knightfall 25th anniversary set in 2018/2019) seem to be heading OOP - neither are on IST/TOW and only available from 3rd parties on Amazon - with Prodigal being listed for 50USD!
The other volumes still seem to be in stock although some are quite low in stock according to Amazon (Batman: Prelude to Knightfall, Batman: Knightfall Vol. 1, Batman: Knightfall Vol. 2, Batman: Knightquest: The Crusade Vol. 1, Batman: Knightquest: The Crusade Vol. 2, Batman: Knightquest: The Search, Batman: KnightsEnd)
Superman was born on the planet Krypton and was given the name Kal-El at birth.. I just knew.
Hard to believe im actually holding Morrison's Animal Man Deluxe Hardcover Volume Two in my hands.
It had a 3+ year delay - I refused to believe it was coming out until I actually held it.
DC came through for once.
Currently Reading:
Milligan's Shade the Changing Man, Vertigo Hellblazer trades, Love and Rockets TPBs, Stray Bullets TPBs, Ellis' The Wildstorm
Agreed! Wish the rest of the run could be released in a deluxe HC format, but just like doom patrol, they only care about the Morrison run =0(
only other classic vertigo run that’s missing is Shade the Changing Man. I was surprised they published the Nancy Collins Swamp Thing Omni so maybe there’s hope.
This is really nothing short of a miracle! I can't think of another instance off the top of my head - I'm sure someone else can - where there was such a delay between a vol. 1 and 2.
Shade, The Changing Man may have come close. Vol. 1 was out for years, and appeared abandoned, until they put out 2 and 3 almost back to back. Of course we never saw vol. 4, but that's another story...
So annoying that they canceled Pollack's Doom Patrol collection. They could have easily fit her run into two books, but no... *sigh*
And the Collins Swamp Thing is another small miracle. If anything, I'd have expected a single trade, only to have that orphaned as well.
Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft
Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”
I'm sorry, but I'm gonna keep calling for and hoping for Golden Age Shazam Omnibuses.
A DC email to me referred to mysterious "challenges" (that had nothing do with the content itself the email insisted) in doing such Golden Age Shazam omnis, but I reallly hope DC can find a way to overcome these.
DC said it was trying to focus on less or uncollected material and Golden/Silver Captain Marvel fits that more than anything. He's such an important superhero.
