Whereas it used to be hardcovers came out first (and HC buyers were served first) and then paperback-waiters didn't get their books until twice as long after (usually when the next volume came out in HC), now we've got paperback first. Especially in this initial state when we don't yet know what DC will do with the hardcovers, those waiting for hardcovers for the Rebirth titles have an anxious wait ahead.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-87406971534120638622016-09-15T17:29:34.893-05:002016-09-15T17:29:34.893-05:00Not only are these in TPB, but they're cheap! ...Not only are these in TPB, but they're cheap! N52 TPS for top tier books were about $19.99, and the lowest I've seen was $14.99 for titles like Swamp Thing and Red Hood. Very pleased at the fact I'll be able to afford a little bit more.<br /><br />However, I want to read Wonder Woman immediately, when the trade is released, but my preference is in HC for Wonder Woman books. The wait time is going to be brutal. I wonder if it will be 6 months to wait for the HC, or if the prices will remain the same as N52 HCs. I also wonder if DC plans to release the HCs like Marvel does, in an Oversized fashion.

If Batman Vol 2 is then 9-whatever and if Detective Vol 1 is 934-940 and Vol 2 is 943-whatever, then I'm fine. The Night of the Monster Men trade is already on Amazon I believe. Prevent the double dipping and/or flipping between books that DC was so guilty of during the New 52 with crossovers like Throne of Atlantis and Trinity War. That way it isn't a pain in the ass for completists. Anyone strictly following one of the involved titles would just have one extra book to pick up. But I would guess the majority of Batman, Detective Comics, and Nightwing readers are reading the other two as well. Especially now since all three are getting stellar feedback.

It's when we get into the Batman issues being collected in their own trade but the Nightwing issues being only in the bulk collection that I dislike (for the double-dipping reasons you mentioned), but so far that doesn't appear to be the case.<br /><br />Aside, it's so confusing that Batman and Nightwing both launched as Rebirth titles, but Batman will be up to #7 when Nightwing is at #5 for the crossover. Not that issue numbers always line up, but I thought I had it wrong until I double-checked.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.com
