Agreed! I still can't believe we never got a 2nd [I]Showcase[/I] volume, considering some of the more obscure stuff that line collected. Of course, a full color omni or two would be perfect now.
Would love to see Abnett & Lanning's Legion collected.

The Legion in general needs more collections. I know Levitz & Giffen's initial run got two deluxes, but there's so much more material that deserves collecting.

Yeah. I haven't finished The Curse yet, but I still want the rest of their run, and the vast majority of it is uncollected. Not to mention 5YL and the entire reboot series past the first arc.

I know the ongoing wasn't collected*, but [I]Legion Lost[/I] was collected a couple of years ago; it got demoted from a hardcover in the original solicitation to a chunky trade.
[I]Legion Worlds[/I] may have also been collected (or at least solicited and canceled), but I could be wrong on that one....
[SIZE=1]*With the exception of the [I]Foundations[/I] trade, but that's out of print. [/SIZE]
Is there a list anywhere showing all the books that are currently released in the format or announced?
I want to start getting lucifer, nightwing, and birds of prey. Want to be sure I'm not missing anything

Legion Lost was in hardcover. I've seen copies.
Worlds was a cancelled trade.

I'm not aware of a definitive list anywhere, but here are all the ones I can think of (though some may not be as thick) either already out or that are upcoming:
Robin
Spectre (Ostrander/Mandrake, though they've done two and seem to have stopped)
Martian Manhunter (ditto)
Secret Six
New Teen Titans
Suicide Squad
JLA
Batgirl (Cassandra Cain run, first one due out next month)
Azrael (first one due out in February)
Wonder Woman (Rucka run, first volume due out in June)
Wonder Woman by Mike Deodato
Checkmate (Rucka, first volume due out in July)
Catwoman (Brubaker run, with more to follow)
Batman (Brubaker run, first volume due out in February)
Batman (Rucka run, first volume due out in August)
Shadow of the Bat (due out in June)
Various Batman crossovers (Knightfall, Cataclysm, No Man's Land, Road to No Man's Land, Murderer/Fugitive, War Games, upcoming Contagion and Legacy)
Hitman (first few trades were smaller but then got thicker as the run went on)
The Flash (Johns run)
The Flash (Morrison/Millar run)
The Demon (Ennis run, first one is this month)

Deathstroke: The Terminator
Batman Adventures
Black Lightning
Icon
Static Shock
Starman Omnibus (there were six hardcovers, they put out 2 TPBs and now the 3rd has FINALLY been solicited, hopefully they'll finish it out for those that missed out on the hardcovers)
Justice League International (they did six trades then stopped)
Animal Man (Vertigo, first couple were small but got bigger as the run went on)
Doom Patrol (Vertigo)
Hellblazer (Vertigo)
Swamp Thing (Vertigo, Morrison/Millar and BKV runs)
I've enjoyed DC's Thick Trades, especially the Batman: Knightfall Saga. Great stuff here. I like how the Trades are inexpensive, in color, & don't mind the just OK paper used. The way I see it, if the paper had been of better quality, the Trades would either have been more expensive, or much thinner.
Here are some series I think are tailor-made for DC's Thick Trade "Program" - note this is far from a comprehensive list:
[I]Classic Warlord[/I] by Mike Grell; never been reprinted in color, outside of a long OOP Trade about 25 years ago.
[I]Classic Jonah Hex[/I] - only a handful of these issues have been reprinted in color.

Thanks for this!
Also, if you count Vertigo:
Sandman Mystery Theatre, Y the Last Man, 100 Bullets, Preacher, Ex Machina and Lucifer

You're welcome! There's also the upcoming reprints of 52 which appear to be combining vols 1-2 and 3-4 of the previous trades.
Also if I remember they are doing TPB versions of the recent golden and silver age omnis for Justice League, Superman, etc.
They also did the Loeb/Guiness Superman/Batman in thicker trades (one volume collecting 1-13 and second collecting 14-26 with a third volume due out in April) and looks like they'll be doing Supergirl as well (though the Supergirl Vol 1 TPB is just Batman/Superman 8-13, I imagine the trades might get thicker once it does the series proper.)
I also forgot to list a couple other Batman related ones:
Batman: Second Chances, collecting the early post-crisis Batman series (minus Batman 401) with Jason Todd's post-Crisis reintroduction
Robin/Batgirl: Year One TPB
Batman: Prey collecting both the Prey and Terror arcs from Legends of the Dark Knight
Batman: Birth of the Demon (collecting Son, Bride, and Birth of the Demon)
Death in the Family (new version containing both Death in the Family and Lonely Place of Dying)
Batman: Son of Batman/Black Glove (duplicating the OHC of Morrison's first two story arcs)
With Batman there's also Complete Hush and Under the Red Hood. The way they're going with Batman in general, I can see having the period from after Troika to the end of Fugitive (with Hush and Brubaker Detective following from there) as close to complete as it can be collected in about two years.
[QUOTE=Dick Grayson;1676600]Supergirl Vol 1 TPB is just Batman/Superman 8-13[/QUOTE]
It's #0-10 and 12.

That's one I missed in the solicits, so I was going by Amazon's listing: Supergirl Vol. 1 [url]https://www.amazon.com/dp/1401260934/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_LGaEwbG5CM9NF[/url]
Not that that's definitive of course. But your listing of 0-10 and 12 makes a bit more sense, thanks!
Wait! How about an Injustice Omnibus when Year Five is over?
