But in the absence of an omnibus in the beginning, the choices are either to start reading the paperbacks since they're the existing collection, or wait 10+ years now to start reading that Superman in hopes of another collecting format. If the paperback series was discontinued, that would suck, but would Man of Steel readers rather have waited 10 more years to read Man of Steel? I'm guessing not.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-89627894073917803922015-08-12T14:52:30.267-05:002015-08-12T14:52:30.267-05:00@jordan I agree for those who have bought the firs...@jordan I agree for those who have bought the first 7 or however many volumes an omnibus at this point would suck, but since the gap between the last release has been quite a while I wouldn't be surprised if DC just collected the whole run in an omnibus instead of finishing the trades.
