Batman- Knightfall

Endaaaagh

Anybody here read the Knightfall series?

I've recently purchased Prelude to Knightfall and Knightfall Vol 1 (25th Anniversary edition). However the copy of Knightfall Vol 1 I got has 280 pages. I've since seen online there's another print of Knightfall, also called volume 1 which has 634 pages. Does anyone know what's the difference between the 2 editions? (apart from the number of pages 😂). Do I need to read Knightfall Volume 2 before I move on Knightquest?

Thanks Ridley, the problem I was having was after buying KnightFall 25th Anniversary (Vol 1 280 pages), I was having trouble sourcing 25th Anniversary Vol 2. It didn't help with the search having Knighquest also referred to as "Volume 2" so I was a bit confused. I was wondering if I could have moved onto Knightquest, not having read Knightfall Vol 2

Anyhow, no longer an issue. As I had purchased 25th Anniversary Vol 1 off of Amazon, I managed to get them to give me a refund and have since purchased the complete omnibus Knightfall (634 pages), along with Knightquest and Knightsend.

Just finished Prelude last night so looking forward to moving onto Knightfall over the weekend.
