Mister Miracle by Tom King

This run has been getting a lot of rave reviews recently and so I thought I'd give it a go after enjoying Tom King's vision run. I bought it a couple of months ago but thought I'd read it sooner rather than later as it is currently "flavour of the month" and it made a nice change from the Conan omnibus I am also currently reading.

I'm not sure that I totally got this to be honest. I was enjoying it but the ending seemed a bit anti-climatic so I'm wondering if I really understood what was going on.

Some nice art by Mitch Gerads and some neat observations on the trials of being a new parent.

JLA Bronze Age Omnibus Vol 2

My copy of JLA Bronze Age Omnibus Vol 2

I can't believe it's only been a year since I bought my first DC omnibus and it was Vol 1 of this series. I loved the format so much I've bought about 10 more since then. These form all of my pre-Crisis DC collection.

My newest arrival is Vol 2 and I'm delighted to get more cool JLA stories from the dawn of the Bronze Age.

Only problem was that my copy arrived with a small tear in the dust jacket. This is the first one of these weighty tomes that has actually arrived damaged in any way. Bit of a shame.

I tried to repair the damage as much as possible.

I know I could have returned but I can live with it and, whilst I would like a pristine copy, it's the stories I'm interested in.

I've 2 more Omnibus on pre-order. My biggest problem is where the hell am I going to store them!

Three new DC Silver and Bronze Age Omnibus

These are all great books. Extremely interesting to me as I've no experience with any of this stuff.

My only criticism is that the JLA vol 1 doesn't match the new trade dress of more recent volumes. Still I got it for just over £50 which is quite a bit less than Amazon's or shop prices.

More Silver Age DC Omnibus editions

I'm still keen on the DC omnibus editions and a couple have arrived this week.

The JLA is Vol 2 (I've not got Vol 1 yet as I've not seen it for a good price) and it's massive. It's 1056 pages and collects #31-#76 and Mystery In Space #75

World's Finest Vol 1. is a bit thinner at only 626 pages and collects Superman #75 and World's Finest #71- #116. It was only recently that I realised that this comic was the Superman-Batman team-up book. They first teamed-up in Superman #75 and that was so well received that DC decided to change the lead story in WF to be Superman and Batman each issue.

I'm loving finding out about all this early DC history.

JLA Bronze Age Omnibus Vol 1

This hefty book arrived on Friday.

It's a lovely book so well put together. The paper quality is excellent, the original covers are all included before each story. In fact it's just what I want from an Omnibus and is nearly as well put together as my Amazing Spider-man vol 1. No letters page though which means Spidey is still the best.
