The annual, IIRC, was pretty stand alone but the Gaiman special tied heavily into the events of the main series and so it could make just reading the trades a little confusing to someone who also didn't read the special.<br /><br />Either way, I'm picking it up. SMT is one of my all-time favorite comics, so I'll happily support the new trades in the hope of getting the whole series on my bookshelf someday.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14980887819492556076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-20173432064945247522015-11-05T11:19:02.932-06:002015-11-05T11:19:02.932-06:00I didn't want to acknowledge that possibility ...I didn't want to acknowledge that possibility but yeah very possible.

Which is not that big of a deal because only Deathstroke #14 was really related to "Total Chaos" and issues #15-16 really were not even though they were labeled as such. But if someone (in my imaginary scenario) were thinking, "I wish I had the other parts of 'Total Chaos' to read alongside this here Deathstroke Vol. 3 collection," then lo and behold there's also this Titans: Total Chaos collection, which will presumably also include those same Deathstroke issues.<br /><br />I'll take a Total Chaos collection, don't get me wrong, but a Total Chaos collection before a Titans Hunt collection is ... total chaos.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-10523679299464504502015-11-04T13:38:27.316-06:002015-11-04T13:38:27.316-06:00I think he meant without other Total Chaos issues....I think he meant without other Total Chaos issues.

If I were to start an online petition asking DC to collect the 1982 FURY OF FIRESTORM run, how many signatures would you think I'd need to get DC's attention? I say this knowing DC probably would ignore these efforts. <br /><br />I'm guessing DC would want to sell at a minimum probably 25,000 copies (total guess on my part). So should I shoot for 10,000 signatures (an impossible goal)? Or would 10% suffice (2,500 signatures) knowing they would sell a bunch more than just the few people we could reach through social media? Anyone ever do anything like this before?The Irredeemable Shaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01620741461584124844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-64658604508073104602015-11-04T11:32:46.770-06:002015-11-04T11:32:46.770-06:00Holy Crap!

I have the old trades and have been waiting for a conclusion for the last 5 years. I was never able to get a straight answer from Vertigo in the past if they were gonna finish it or not. I'm just hoping the final book will slot in nicely with the old trades (like Knighfall vol 2 did).<br /><br />Shadow of the Bat, yes please.<br /><br />Starman omnibus: After vol 3 was cancelled I said to hell with it and instead managed to pick up the 6 hardcovers for a great price (got really lucky). I asked a DC rep at a con a few years back about this and said there were no plans to continue the trades but you could pick them up in digital. Not the answer I hoped for which prompted the purchase of the hardcovers.magmadragonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-87861450569001032772015-11-04T11:30:37.600-06:002015-11-04T11:30:37.600-06:00Never in a million years!!
