DC Comics' leaked April 2019 solicitations reveal a few new DC Big Books of note. Lucifer seemingly gets a couple of omnibuses, with the first volume containing the first half of the original DC Vertigo run, 39 issues worth. As well as more of Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti's Harley Quinn and a second House Of Secrets Omnibus–hopefully with all the pages intact, and probably all actually coming out in September and October.

There is also a collection of Adam Hughes' work for DC in an Absolute hardcover oversized slipcased format, and a new collection for Garth Ennis and John McCrea's Hitman in the Book One, Book Two thick paperback format, joined in that by Judd Winick's Outsiders…
