"Thank God I read this in the collected edition, not monthly"

[tib2d2]

Have you ever finished a collected edition(s) of an event or story and thought to yourself "that was good, but man am I glad I was able to read that in a collected edition and didn't have to buy all the individual issues!"

[James Cameron]

The weekly New 52 books. Batman Eternal, Futures End, World's End. They were mostly terrible but I know for sure I would have dropped those books immediately if I had to collect indivudal issues

Ram V's Swamp Thing volume 3 and JLD

Ooof, amen to that! What a waste of money grabbing those each week.

I never read WATCHMEN when it was originally published, but I gotta say, that book was pretty much made for one long read.

So much of the nuance would be lost month to month.

Definitely, my choice would be Panic in the Sky (XD)

Speaking of Deathstroke… Christopher Priest’s run on that title. Terrific book, just one whose intricate plotting and flashback-heavy structure was a challenge to follow even in trades.

Watchmen. Batman Year One. Death of Superman. Superman: Secret Identity. Supergirl: Being Super. Kingdom Come. DKR.

Watchmen.

I've never read the individual issues!

I remember thinking how much better Superman For Tomorrow would have been trade as it came out. It seemed like as an audience we weren't yet accustomed to the "decompressed" form of storytelling. That was very much the conversation among fandom.
