Here's hoping this is just one volume, not two (per Superman's Black Ring and Grounded)<br /><br />****<br /><br />I don't know if you read comments to older posts, but it seams like you could be getting your wish fulfilled! Amazon.com changed the details to the Black Mirror HC. Originally it was announced to be released September 13th, containing 168 pages for a price of $22.99. Now the date is changed to November 29th, the page count upped to 288 pages and the price is now $29.99!<br />This could mean, that the entire 'TEC run of Snyder is collected in one volume. It would certainly fit, as Augusts #881 will be his final issue. :)<br /><br />Greetings,<br /> SpookySpookyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07370993300280714554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-31475960573391666342011-04-25T09:18:27.465-05:002011-04-25T09:18:27.465-05:00What's more, there is also a 40$ hardback show...What's more, there is also a 40$ hardback showing up called TALES OF THE BATMAN: DON NEWTON.

So, theoretically that point would be 3-4 more trades in assuming they also keep on collecting the Wolfman/Ordway issues which IMHO were a better read & my prime reason to buy the trades. The total era from 1988 to 1991 was a golden period of classic stories from Byrne, Wolfman, Ordway & Stern.<br /><br />If the 1st NML trade does contain CATACLYSM & NML V1, I'm all for a huge paperback/hardback collecting CONTAGION, LEGACY & BANE OF THE DEMON.Aalok Madhusudan Joshihttp://aalokmjoshi.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-34082582821721597342011-04-06T13:59:04.068-05:002011-04-06T13:59:04.068-05:00I remain curious to see if DC might ever reprint B...I remain curious to see if DC might ever reprint Byrne's Superman so far as to include the issue where Superman killed the Phantom Zone criminals.

Their omnibi in particular are so much larger both in dimension and number of issues collected, yet the price doesn't seem to be that much different (at least after Amazon's discount).<br /><br />On top of that, it seems like they are just collecting in "omnibus" format everything that Geoff Johns has done! Of course Marvel collects Bendis' work in that format too, but also that of Brubaker, Waid, Aaron, and others. Of course, Marvel sadly just has a deeper bench when it comes to writers nowadays, anyway.
