I've never read Astrocity, but would jump at the chance to collect it in a premium format!

Was the Priest Deathstroke omnibus delayed on IST?

Lunar (DC's direct market distributor) says it's not due until next week, though obviously some readers have managed to pick it up early.

Same here!

If it were DC holding the license still, I'd be afraid we'd get the whole series shoved into two or three unwieldy, lumbering omni's... but since it's Image I remain a little more optimistic.

Whew, thought I had missed it.

Amazon/hatchet just got em a week or so earlier it seems, which isn't unusual. Just wanted to be sure

I was thinking there was going to be a delay on the Priest Deathstroke omnibus. IST had it on their site for Wish Lists, but it disappeared from their site a few weeks ago. It's not in the Coming Soon section, so I'm guessing it'll randomly pop up when it arrives in-stock. This has happened before with IST.

I am a huge fan of Busiek's Astro City and I think it is one of the books that should be up there with Sandman or whatever. I can't believe DC never did an Absolute line or a couple of Omnibus.
(If you are a Busiek fan, his Untold Tales of Spiderman and Thunderbolts omnis are both on sale at IST.)

My order for the Batwoman Omnibus is in the mail!
It was delayed by quite a bit, that I'm surprised it even came out.
Can't wait to dig into it - love the JH Williams art!

If it were anyone but Batman I'd be pissed, but this will definitely see print eventually.

Does DC still care about Frank Miller's Ronin? Only the tpb is in print. I'm dying for an Absolute Edition reprint.
