600+ pages fits my comfort zone nicely. I dare anyone to read vol. 1 and then not sign up for the rest. Once you've read 'The Crystal Connection' (issues 29-31) your soul is well and truly cooked.
I totally agree: the "Crystal Connection" issues you are referring to, will be the highlight of volume 1. Phenomenal issues! They give a good idea of the intensity of the major Moench/Gulacy epic coming in volume 2: issues 38-50 (51?) will certainly be the highlights of that volume. Absolutely must read material. 

Although I only read the issues with Gulacy as a kid, I think I will be in for the full Omni ride!!!
