    Its obviously an incorrect/incomplete listing but its either the price or the Page count. The question is which?

    The two TPBs total up to around ~250 the same number as AASB&RTBW, so there would be enough content for an Absolute.

    And one of the two listings has a $200 price tag with a 32 page count which has got to be doubley wrong.

    I can post some pictures later this evening; but it is identical in design to volume 1.

    Do you think DC will try to cash in on upcoming series by collecting Gotham Central in omnibus?
    I do realise these two don't have much in common beside the name, but I would certainly go for it.

    I think somebody mentioned that they are reprinting the tpb-s. I still think that DC and Marvel won't put out omnibuses because of movies and tv series, rather chunky and affordable paperbacks.

    That was me, they're in DCs extended forecast in the last few weeks on ComicList as reprints for 3/4 TPBs that make up the Gotham Central series.

    I really, really want Gotham Central in Omnibus. I don't think DC will do it, even though its been out a few years and sold through its HCs/TPBS, ties in with a new show and has some big names on it which would make it a prime candidate for oversized treatment.

    Absolute pictures are always welcomed, no matter how repetitive their design.

    Just an observation, but I'm now on volume 6 of the HC "omnibus" edition of Starman, and these books kind of suck. Not the stories, but rather the build. The paper is cheap, they appear glued, major gutter loss and I'm convinced if I read them a couple of times, the whole spine will crack down the middle.

    Wasn't that awhile ago? It's now H-Z Dc titles so no absolutes on sale

    They must have reordered because those two books are back on the main page if you look.

    well that turned me off of any future collecting, maybe TPB will be better solution?
