Collected Editions began in 2005, back when a trade paperback collections of your favorite series or storyline wasn't guaranteed, as a place for trade lovers to review books, speculate on upcoming titles, and generally find others experimenting with the "wait for trade" approach to comics collecting.

Flash forward years later. Now collections of almost every comics title on the market are a sure thing, and trade paperbacks and graphic novels have become an industry of their own, with wider recognition and even their own sections in bookstores. Collected Editions remains the "wait-for-trade" headquarters, featuring weekly trade paperback and graphic novel reviews, a healthy dose of comics discussion, and the latest news on upcoming collections.

In our reviews, Collected Editions strives to view trade paperbacks as books in an of themselves, like a novel you'd buy in a bookstore rather than a handful of comics issues. We try to be fair and respectful, while also offering honest opinions as to what books we think are or aren't worth a reader's dollar.

Collected Editions welcomes your feedback. We accept guest reviews for the site; we're also happy to receive review copies for potential review. For more information, see the Contact page.
