Anyone excited about them? So far there are 5 of them available with more on the way. My collection so far...  I plan on getting them all as they come out. I like the covers/spines & interior paper quality, not that overly glossy paper like the Omnibus editions have. |

I have a lot of the GL and Superman material in the older Chronicles format that was the pre-cursor to this. I have the GA Batman Omnibus as well, so I mostly skipped these releases, but I do have the JLA volume and Darwyn Cooke covers are always tempting. I do plan on getting the Flash volume if it isn't part of a holiday haul.

I will be checking my LCS for these and definitely checking it out ... I'm going there tomorrow and see whether I get them or not?

What's covered in each and any more coming out??? The JLA volume had Brave & Bold 28-30, Mystery in Space 75 and JLA 1-8. There is a second volume scheduled. The Superman and Batman Omnibus each covered what was in the first 3 volumes of the Chronicles, so I would guess the first volume of each is roughly the same as what the contents of the Chronicles volumes were. My guess is that Flash and GL have roughly the same contents as the Chronicles too, so in essence these are a rebranded version of the Chronicles series. -M |

The Batman GA volume, both Omnibus & TP have no alterations. Wonder Woman Chronicles books had quite a few alterations, does anyone know if the recently released Omnibus corrected this? |

If it's full color, I just might have to pull the trigger on some of them. Are those covers by Cooke?

I've gotten my dad the Superman volumes. I have pre-ordered the Wonder Woman volume and may get the upcoming Teen Titans volume as well.

My experience with Golden Age stuff is very limited outside of a few western titles.
I'll have to look into getting the Golden Age Batman collection.

Does this mean they have stopped the Chronicles format? I had quite liked those.
