Let me know how that JSA omni is, as I'm kinda' familiar with JLA, but not at all familiar with JSA. Also, I'm a sucker for huge collections that that one.

Miracleman Book One: A Dream of Flying hardcover
This was the first comic I ever read that I realized we weren't in kiddie land anymore. I'm not even sure why I bought it when I know an absolute version will get issued down the road.

Prophecy - an insane sounding Dynamite mash-up of Vampirella, Red Sonja, Dracula, Ash, Herbert West, Sherlock Holmes, etc

I think I just took advantage of a price mistake, or someone being very generous, on Amazon. Got the 400+ page Mage: The Hero Defined paperback for $2.32 with free prime shipping, brand new.

Aargh! My other purchase was this (even though I have the Warrior originals and the Eclipse versions) just because I thought it'd be nice to have the whole completed set in one place. I'd not considered that it'd all be collected later and, to tell the truth, was somewhat disappointed at the skinny size of the volume when it arrived - seeing as how I'd just opened "The Planetary Omnibus" which had only cost me twice as much.

Nice! Have you read Mage: The Hero Discovered? Defined is great, but Discovered is just amazing.

That said, I've somehow never read Defined. I guess it came out in the late 90s when I was in one of my breaks from comics. I'm starting with Discovered again as soon as finish re-reading Nexus.

So I just bought this bastard:
Yeah, I know, it's ridiculous, but in hindsight, it's actually pretty great. When you realize Miller wrote it as Batman being just bat-shit crazy, it makes a little more sense.
Also, it's probably some of the best work Jim Lee's ever done, so it's sweet to see it in the over-sized Absolute format. And it has the unpublished issue #10, which is actually the strongest issue of the run, focusing on Jim & Barbara Gordon.
And there's this...
It's Frank Miller and the god damn Batman. You got violence, you got damsels, you got vigilantes, you got the villains, you have the Justice League. It's nasty and you love it for that. You can read your typical detective story about Batman versus the Gotham Underworld, or you can read something far more unique.
