Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 3 (Batman Omnibus, 3)

This Omnibus collects everything of the Absolute edition, both content, bonus material, and remastered art. Plus it also collects the ‘Batman The Return #1’ special issue illustrated by David Finch, which bridged the gap in-between Morrison’s Batman & Robin series and Batman incorporated. If you haven’t already, you’re definitely going to want to pick up Batman by Grant Morrison volumes 1 & 2. Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 1 Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 2 I try my best to not go into heavy spoiler territory in my reviews, as I know there are folks new to this run. I will say that since Grant Morrison’s Batman run began, he has built up events that have come full circle in this final volume. Batman is investigating a Global Terrorist organization called Leviathan. They have been showing up just about everywhere, and infesting everything. Batman enlists the help of the Batmen of All Nations, and starts recruiting his own Army of Batmen around the world to combat Leviathan. If you’ve read Batman Incorporated in single issue form and collected trade as I have, you will have seen that towards the New52 portion of the run that there are pages that used fill-in artists. It was a bit jarring to be enjoying Chris Burnham’s unique style, then suddenly be reading pages illustrated by other artists. We were treated to Chris Burnham going back to draw all the pages, that he previously was unable to for the Absolute Edition. Thankfully this book includes all the redrawn Burham pages that were done for the Absolute. Chris Burham also redrew into the flashback scenes that referenced the 70’s Batman stories. When Batman Inc was published during the New 52, events from classic 70s Batman comics were made to show Batman wearing his New52 costume. Now they are redrawn with Batman as intended with the 70s Blue Cape and Cowl, and classic Yellow Oval as intended. Many fans were unsure if this Omnibus would also include Batman Inc issue #11 written by Chris Burham, as well as the Batman Incorporated Special written by guest writers. Rest assured they both are included within this book. This Omnibus has been printed in a beautiful Deluxe size. The binding, stitching and page quality all look solid and secure. The page color actually looks more vibrant than previous releases. The paper is a nice semi-gloss stock. Nice and easy on the eyes. Grant Morrison’s Batman run is my all-time favorite Batman story ever. This spanning saga has so many layers. It gets better with every re-read. I discover some hidden detail that I’d not noticed before. Revelations within this book actually change the way certain events from earlier portions of Morrison's Batman run are perceived. All I can say is, if you’re willing to invest the time in Grant Morrison’s Batman run, there’s a good chance that you’ll fall in love with it just as I have. You will find that you want to return and begin again, and enjoy many re-reads.

I was DELIGHTED when this came in the mail! Finally a shipper who shipped this right! The book came wrapped in bubble wrap, shrink wrap AND in a box! I have bought soooo many omnibuses over the years and they often come banged up and I have to send them back. However, this one is perfect! The price was excellent, quality top notch and shipping the best I ever received! Especially if you’re a collector, you want them in great condition!

These Omnibus is thick, good for collecting and wait for it to be on sale to grab it. Must add to Batman collection as Morrison story is good and so is the art in these.

A very fantastic book!!

A must if you gave the first 2 vol
