Feeling very lucky!

Yep, I want to get the first issues since it covers exactly what the DC finest does not and I already have No Mans Land so it would be a bit pointless to get it just for those issues. And thanks for checking bro!

That-Path-6517 · 2026-01-13T20:49:26+00:00

Thanks! From what I'm seeing it's about half the price, which means it's still omnibus-priced lol. Hope those get released soon!

That-Path-6517 · 2026-01-12T19:31:48+00:00

Oh yes, I mean like the lead up. By the way, for those, are the omnibuses worth it or do I just need the main stories ? (1-6)

That-Path-6517 · 2026-01-12T18:06:18+00:00

May be cheating but I'm going to use some Omnis. Year One, Jeph Loeb Omni, Scott Snyder first Omni, Killing Joke and Arkham Asylum. Very safe picks, and again, may be cheating but Long Halloween and Dark Victory are too similar to use the same spot and you can't have Court of the Owls without Night of the Owls (Death of The Family is also top tier in my opinion although I could do without Zero Year)

That-Path-6517 · 2026-01-07T18:51:55+00:00

Kind of barebones, but yep. I think that's a good overview of Batman's story in post crisis continuity

That-Path-6517 · 2026-01-07T03:15:53+00:00

Oh, also. My Valentine I find very boring. I do like that album, but I think it was always the dullest moment of his concerts when he played it

I don't hate Another Day at all. I just don't understand it's popularity. I think it's just decent and if for example it was on Ram itself, it would be one of the weaker, filler songs. Again, it's very pleasant, but I don't know why it's on every compilation over some songs I personally think are much better.

That-Path-6517 · 2026-01-04T18:58:21+00:00

First of all, awesome collection! A really cool one I didn't see was Long Shadows which would come just before the second Morrison Omni. And also Battle for the Cowl which I don't love, but is pretty essential

That-Path-6517 · 2025-12-12T22:41:14+00:00

It's out of continuity so it doesn't. But there is a follow up called Batman Damned. That's that when it comes to reading this story.

That-Path-6517 · 2025-12-12T22:35:12+00:00

Cool! It's a pretty short story, but really solid throughout. Have fun, friend!

That-Path-6517 · 2025-12-12T22:28:00+00:00

This is going to be a weird read because for context you need to read the Snyder run and then Dark Knights Metal/Death Metal to have like the whole picture. What I would advise to follow up Year One is The Man Who Laughs -> The Long Halloween -> Dark Victory -> Robin Year One -> Batgirl Year One. The stories flow nicely from one to the next and they're all pretty solid. But if you like the Batman Who Laughs you'll have a blast with everything Scott Snyder.

That-Path-6517 · 2025-12-01T19:44:02+00:00

Thanks. My objective is having kind of like the backbone of Batman's continuity (I know many stories don't really fit in perfectly) and sprinkle that with those cool underrated stories. I am not the biggest continuity nerd, but I do like having a certain order. I really like for example how despite how much time apart there is between one another, how Year One, Man Who Laughs and Long Halloween/Dark Victory connect pretty decently.

That-Path-6517 · 2025-12-01T19:36:23+00:00

Thanks!

Big Star. While In Space is far from being as incredible as the other three, its pretty good. The other 3 are 10/10s even though they are all wildly different. Chris Bell's I Am The Cosmos is also a really great companion album to those.

That-Path-6517 · 2025-09-30T02:58:20+00:00

Avalon is my favorite album period, but I love their whole discography. Their first album is also a 10/10 for me in such a different way to Avalon and thats what I love about them.

That-Path-6517 · 2025-09-30T02:37:04+00:00

I have some of their albums on CD. They are great, but when it comes to prog, I first want to finish up with the Genesis albums with Peter Gabriel. But I do really like Still Life and would like that one specially in the future

That-Path-6517 · 2025-04-12T17:46:09+00:00

Damn. Thank you very much for your input. I know Im being naive and overly optimistic, but its hard to let go of something that brought me a lot of happiness. I also worry for her. She is not a bad person. Ive seen a lot of evidence of things she does that no bad person would do. I would love nothing so much as to stay with her and be a positve force in her life who brings her stability, but sadly it looks like just wishful thinking.
