Thanks for the overview Omar! i don't think I can add this one to my collection due to budget and limited space. But...maybe someday haha. I like that they used thinner paper. I'm glad DC is going in that direction. This was a pretty cool run. I think the Lemire run was my favorite. Fawkes did a pretty good job too. I love the cover they went with. It's one of my favorite of all time. Ryan Sook is amazing! I think that was the cover to issue 9. Lemire's first issue. Take care and peace.

Hi there.... I see you mentioned Shade the changing man. Was wondering if they will ever make an omnibus or at least compendium of his vertigo series? I used to have the entire series in singles years ago but a college classmate borrowed them all and ya I dunno where to find the guy. I got two tpbs that vertigo printed years ago but they never followed trough to complete it (dashing NY drama of having it complete again). Great video.... Have always been intrigued in collecting Justice League Dark.

This book was delivered Saturday, it was great purchase, I love these stories read them on my nook e-reader, the art is so good has to get the omnibus.
Finally getting around to this one on my list. I’m enjoying the JLD parts, but they really didn’t have to reprint the entire Trinity War plus crossovers in this one like they did Justice League vol 1. Quick recap would’ve been fine. At least TW was a decent story though.

Thanks for watching. I unfortunately don’t have any more Essentials left.
Anyone but me feel that once an omnibus starts getting into the 1600-page range, they should probably break it up into two omnibuses? Of course I'm also someone who likes to read while lying on his back holding the book over my face, so probably not the best way to read omnibuses in general. As for gutter loss, I can understand some two-page spreads aren't always going to look completely perfect, but cutting off text can be a huge problem. Though the biggest problem I've had with that wasn't even an OHC, but the Wolverine Dying Game Epic Collection.
My favourite superhero team and underrated

Probably an unpopular opinion but omnibus with a huge page count can be off-putting due to the sheer thickness of the content. I have JLA and injustice omnibus and I feel both of them would have been better off thinner. I had to stretch out their spine carefully.
