SNEAK PEEK: Wolfman, Cooke, Sale and Conway lead the list…
—
DC’s complete solicitations are due out Monday, but we’ve got a SNEAK PEEK at some of the cool retro(ish) collections that will be included.
Among them are a fourth New Teen Titans Omnibus; a new deluxe edition of Darwyn Cooke and Tim Sale’s Superman: Kryptonite; plus some Golden Age Batman – featuring the debut of the Red Hood — and Bronze Age Justice League of America.
But perhaps the coolest item is the massive, slipcased omnibus collection of the first 26 issues of Detective Comics – before Batman debuted. (Click here for all the details.)
So, check out the official solicitation blurbs from DC, along with the not-at-all-final covers (which nevertheless give you a taste of what’s inside):

Very retro-radical!

Cool, except that write-up for the JLA Omnibus is for the previous (or even earlier) version. The Elongated Man, Red Tornado, and the Seven Soldiers all appeared between JLA #s 100-105. This solicits #147~181. That’s Hawkgirl and Zatanna and the return of Red Tornado. 🙂

Good catch, Russell!
