DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[CrazyOldHermit]

I wasn't a huge fan of the Johns run but B&R is excellent.

I'm new to the whole omnibus collection thing, so I figured I'll ask here.

Ive been wanting to get Batman & Robin by Peter J. Tomasi & Patrick Gleason Omnibus but it seems to be out of stock everywhere.
In this case, do DC omnibus usually get more stock shipped or once they are gone its gone?

@JoeGuy

Thanks for the find!
I'm from Canada, so I would prefer it be from Amazon.ca, which was listed as around $95 a month ago. But I guess, I cant be picky in this situation.

hmmmm. i like the tomasi/gleason team, and i thought b&r outshined snyder's batman as the best new 52 bat-book. it's the only non-morrison scribed damian wayne i've ever been able to stand. i'd give it the nod over john's aquaman, which wasn't bad but it was SUPER breezy.

[My Two Cents]

My favorite New 52 was the 3 year stint Brian Azzarello did on Wonder Woman.
Although Diana is my favorite and Brian did a few things I did not like and was
glad got fixed, I still loved every issue and thought Diana was spectacular through out.

Not that it will ever happen or that it should,
but I would surely appreciate a deluxe hard cover
of Frankenstein Agent Of S.H.A.D.E.

What are people's thoughts on the Aquaman by Geoff Johns omnibus?

Got some spare money to pick up a couple omnibus' this month and I'm considering that and the Batman and Robin omni.

It was a lot of fun. Really good story arc, and added a lot of new and fresh ideas to the mythos.

I would make that an initial week purchase. One of the top 10 projects for me out of the nu52 era.

Golden Age Batman came in the mail.

Quality wise it's a step down from the Morrison omni. The plain black covers are disappointing and the binding is tighter. But on the plus side the restoration seems improved from my old Chronicles trade. At least, Batman's gloves are purple instead of blue in the first issue. Overall it's a very nice book and I will be buying the rest (God help my wallet).

I'm happy with Batman Golden Age vol. 1-5. Probably pick up 6 around the time 7 is released this summer. Happy they're continuing the series.

Think Superman Golden Age Vol. 1 Omnibus will see a reprint? Resellers are asking crazy prices. I've picked up 2-5 but they don't look right on the shelf without the first volume.

[Johnny Thunders!]

Anybody bought and reread Before Watchmen? I accept that Alan Moore despises me.

I don't have any of the GA omnibuses but I think all of them has the black cardboard cover. It's still a bit unpredictable when they will use that instead of the nice printed one and the printed covers aren't consistent either. Some are glossy (most of them) but for example the Super sons omnibus has a matte finish (it'2s not bad it's just unusual).
At least the paper quality is consistently good or better than Marvel's.

The paper is what makes the DC Bronze/Silver Omnis. I also don't have any Golden Age Omnis but assume they are the same. The black cardboard covers are "ok" but feel flimsy once the omnibus gets too big.

Any opinions on the silver age Flash omniboos? Not a huge fan of formulaic silver age DC stories, but I hear the Flash is a bit of a standout?
