FRANKENSTEIN IN FAIRYLAND!"<br /><br />just reading -<br /><br />"Can you imagine..."<br /><br />There's also an error in the trades that carried through from the original comics. This is in Frankenstien #1's train crash scene, where a caption box saying "1955" in placed in the panel immediately before the one it belongs in, making the sequence of events very hard to follow. <br /><br />I'm happy with whatever order they collect the minis in, and I'll decide whether to ditch my trades for these based on whether on not they fix these little glitches.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-46975443243807106722009-09-20T23:38:18.455-05:002009-09-20T23:38:18.455-05:00I enjoyed the Kirby Omnibuses (Omnibi?), printing ...I enjoyed the Kirby Omnibuses (Omnibi?), printing them in their original publication order.

However, as an entire megaseries, they should be read (and, as such, collected) in publishing order--story bits weave in and out, and while it's not <i>essential</i> to read it that way, you get more out of the overall series by doing so.<br /><br />There may be a few concerns for those that can't remember exactly what happens from issue to issue, when there are issues of other titles in between--but ultimately, I feel that a reader will get more out of the book in its intended order than if they read it by series.Shanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09526065680698553188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-60623506479336052302009-09-09T23:38:37.120-05:002009-09-09T23:38:37.120-05:00i'd like the order to be by series; what i'...i'd like the order to be by series; what i'd really like is one volume collecting everything.toodieselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17094060508176038353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-51219781931088592412009-09-09T09:19:51.720-05:002009-09-09T09:19:51.720-05:00This makes me want to hawk-off my collections of S...This makes me want to hawk-off my collections of Seven Soldiers.

I don't think it works quite as well if you changed the current reading order.<br /><br />Bob: Don't have my copy with me at the moment, but I'm pretty sure the third chapter of Mister Miracle had a cameo by Klarion and the kids racing through the streets in a taxi, and Jake Jordan chasing after Carla. Then again, it turns out by the end that everything was a dream (kinda), so unless I was seriously misreading the book I don't know how THAT works.Jeffrey Hardy Quahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00011880432832659089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-58133611560203632772009-09-08T20:23:42.966-05:002009-09-08T20:23:42.966-05:00Definitely the same as the trades.Definitely the same as the trades.Brad Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10737000705176234969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-14837028234029897122009-09-08T18:06:28.294-05:002009-09-08T18:06:28.294-05:00Mostly chronological order is the way to go.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but some of the stories (e.g. Mister Miracle?) didn't really have story points interact with any of the other stories until SS #1. I think you could move those four together (they're close together in the trades) without a huge change in the overall story.Bob Schoonoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371205595372517089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-11725921931451142832009-09-08T15:22:41.831-05:002009-09-08T15:22:41.831-05:00Gotta be same as printed schedule (and tpbs).
