    Guess I'll be pre-ordering the next volume once it's available...
    The back of my copy of Superman Blue Volume 1 says it's the first of four books, so it hasn't stopped them from dropping a series before :/

    My Unwritten deluxe edition promises it's the first of 6 "definitive hardcover volumes".

    At least with AV, the delay is most likely down to DC waiting for the series to wrap up. A second volume would presumably collect AV #28 to 34, all of Second Cycle, all of 1976, the Road to Hell one shot, and the anthologies.

    Didn't realize DC had included blurbs on so many books promising additional volumes!

    It's not like I'm a newbie, so I should've known better than to let myself feel even a glimmer of hope regarding Books of Magic....

    That's true. Let's hope there will be a second volume next year.

    I think they will wrap this up nicely. It's not an ungoing series. Just like Lucifer.

    I would love if someone put together a list of all orphaned books.

    Probably quicker to just list the ones that have loving parents?

    Managed to score an advance copy of Batman; Dark Knight Detective 4 (signed by Alan Grant!) and it contains:

    Detective Comics 601-611
    Detective Comics Annual 2
    Who's Who pin ups for Catwoman, Clayface I-IV, The Joker, The Penguin, Poison Ivy, Ra's Al Ghul, The Riddler, Scarecrow, Two-Face
    Pin up by Norm Breyfogle

    Sadly they did not include "Secret Origins #44" which is the prelude of the Mud Pack story

    These paperbacks are strictly Detective Comics and its annuals only, so that's no surprise.
