yupp.
Also I think Books of magic fell victim to this trend too and Shade the changing man wasn't ever collected properly either.

[I]Books of Magic
Sandman Mystery Theatre
Shade, The Changing Man
Kid Eternity
Hawkworld
Birds of Prey[/I] (Original Series)
I'm also fairly certain the post-Zero Hour [I]Legionnaires[/I] and [I]The Legion by Abnett & Lanning[/I] trades have fallen by the wayside. The list of canceled series goes on and on...
One doubt: some years ago House of Secrets from the 90s got the omnibus treatment. How this series deserve that treatment an Books of Magic or SMT don't?!
I liked the book, but I never heard much noise about it, those other two are linked with Gaiman work directly... what do you guys think?
IMO DC is not doing a quite good marketing around those more obscure Vertigo TPBs.
[QUOTE=Balakin;4025416]experimenting is good. We need new things not just Batman and Superman. What they need to stop is announcing everything then cancelling them a couple of months later. It is a really annoying habit they've developed and made me develop a distrust towards them. It also makes me not order their books in case they abandon a line again because I don't want to end up with volume 1 or 2 of a 5 volume series on my shelf again.[/QUOTE]
To get volumes 3, 4 and 5, volumes 1 and 2 have to sell enough copies. The probability of this to happen is much higher with Superman or Batman than it is with more "experimental" stuff. Sad but true, as I personally like experimenting, too.

yes but as listed above there are way too many titles that ended up unfinished. Can't the collected edition department make the math like you did? This is not a one time accident and this is only the titles they didn't finish, there is plenty more that were just cancelled before they came out.
I get that they don't have unlimited warehouse space and they want to see profits but after almost 2 decades of heavily pumping out collected editions they surely could be a bit more responsible and try not to break the trust with their costumer base.

The Spectre :(
[QUOTE=pjerooo;4030888]The Spectre :([/QUOTE]
Also Ostrander’s Martian Manhunter. And the Vertigo Animal Man had one volume left I believe too. They did a single volume of the Azrael ongoing, and more than a few titles pre-New 52 were left with one or two volumes worth uncollected (Supergirl, Titans, Manhunter backups from Streets of Gotham, JLA I think?...) ... honestly, it’d probably be easier to list the runs/titles that DC actually DID complete ;)

This book and Giffen's [I]Doom Patrol[/I] were among my DC favorites at the time; both got robbed of their final volume... :(
Speaking of DP, Pollack's post-Morrison run is another that got solicited and then canceled before it hit the shelves.

Joker omnibus coming next summer... Good looking collection this.
Looks good :D
The Wonder Woman 280-283 are the Huntress back up stories by Paul Levitz and Joe Staton
(collected in the Huntress: Darknight Daughter trade).
Looks like they've adjusted the contents of the new JLD tpb. Ill have to do more digging, but i believe they're skipping the crossover entirely.
