It would be absurd for you (not to mention nearly impossible) to provide an exhaustive tracking of all paperbacks and hardcovers coming our way, so I understand you are just focusing on those you find of special relevance.<br />It just stroke me as odd that the SUPERMAN: SECRET ORIGIN hardcover wasn't one of them, and that's why I wondered aloud if maybe it could have skipped your radar, or maybe it was me who had missed here in some previous entry on your blog.<br />Congratulations on your work, and thank you for sharing it with us.jmmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12647406204129228096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-16344795641561071862010-02-08T14:40:25.030-06:002010-02-08T14:40:25.030-06:00Thanks for the additional information.

From what I've heard, it's a part of the following small arc. I'm usually a bit iffy on double collecting as well, but I don't mind it when it's an ongoing series collecting it's tie-in or highly relevant issue (see Marvel's "Dark Reign: The List" for one example, as leaving the Punisher issue out of a regular Punisher collection would be stupidly ridiculous considering what happens in it.<br /><br />Going with Tony Daniels "Life and Death", but I think I'm otherwise skipping the substitute Batman stories as well when they hit softcover, at least for a good while. Morrisons Batman & Robin is the only one that seems to be really doing anything interesting or great with the concept, which is part of the reason it's best The Man is returning sooner rather than later.dl316bhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14779958088602323101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-71813075473156498802010-02-03T11:05:21.422-06:002010-02-03T11:05:21.422-06:00I noticed a John Ostrander credit on the new Secre...I noticed a John Ostrander credit on the new Secret Six trade; I don't know if that's the Deadshot profile issue, or indeed the Suicide Squad issue will be cross-collected. I don't favor that myself, as I think it's a slippery slope that leads to unnecessary double-collecting (as with the <a href="http://collectededitions.blogspot.com/2010/01/dc-comics-collections-for-summer-2010.html" rel="nofollow">Tales of the Sinestro Corps</a> issue).<br /><br />Was maybe going to get Absolute Superman For Tomorrow next holiday, but now I have to consider Absolute All-Star Superman instead.
