I wish they wouldn't discontinue runs in middle of collecting them. <br /><br />I'm going to try and remain hopeful though. They finally released Ostrander's last Suicide Squads after a pretty large time gap.Bartlett4potushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13156464158498123057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-39874875886985791932019-05-30T15:55:13.410-05:002019-05-30T15:55:13.410-05:00Never say never on Supergirl.

I would not be surprised if the Wedding of the Atom HC does indeed leave them out and start with #149.<br /><br />What I want is "Justice League of America by Steve Englehart", which would have #s 139 (second story) to 146, and 149-150. If it started with Cary Bates's Adam Strange two-parter in 138-9 and/or included the JLA/JSA/LSH story, that wouldn't be a deal breaker. ;-)<br /><br />Switching topics, should I stop holding out hope that we'll ever see more collections of Peter David's Supergirl?Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08245997527017702324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-21554644753025840762019-05-30T10:56:33.806-05:002019-05-30T10:56:33.806-05:00Looks like DC Meets Looney Tunes volume 2 and DC M...Looks like DC Meets Looney Tunes volume 2 and DC Meets Hanna-Barbera volume 3 both got cancelled :/abchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072453557833944614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-64479379655068117452019-05-30T10:16:18.441-05:002019-05-30T10:16:18.441-05:00Loads of double dipping and reissues of recent rel...Loads of double dipping and reissues of recent releases here. I have a Crisis on Infinite Earths deluxe edition from 2016 in my hand, why another one?<br /><br />Looking forward to the Gail Simone Wonder Woman omnibus, though gazing at my WW shelf I wonder why some runs get an omnibus and some don’t. <br /><br />DC’s collected editions department had a good couple years from Rebirth on after the mess that was the New 52 collections. But now they are starting then cancelling series left and right. And the cancellation of the pre Crisis omnibus line is very disappointing. Hopefully there’s not a backwards trend going on.

I think I understand the point they were trying to make, but have no idea how they picked that path to make it. Oh, well. I'm probably going to skip getting this in collected form, but I'll probably re-read the story this fall when you review to see if it sits differently with me.<br /><br />I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the Crisis 35th OHC even though my tpb is perfectly fine - I've picked up the Infinite Crisis omni and have the Zero Hour one pre-ordered, so I'll need this for shelf cohesion (I need help!). I'm debating the Final Crisis omni (I have most of the material already), but will probably pull the trigger if/when we get Flashpoint and Metal omnis. If Snyder is, as it seems, building to a Crisis-level conclusion to his JL run, a Metal omni would be a great thing to have on the shelves by then, DC (hint, hint).<br /><br />Very excited to see Gail's run in omni format. I'd have preferred thick tpbs (again, shelf cohesion - maybe I just need a Rucka omni instead?), but I haven't read the run before and want to get this. <br /><br />The Batwoman collection is weird - this is the original contents they released the material in, then they did a recut that included the Cutter arc. Wonder why they're going back to this one . . .

The new one seem so much cheaper that 30th was.
