Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

Is their any word on the release of the third Milestone Compendium? I really loved Milestone's initial release I have my favorite titles of the run but was excited to read the other material. I have heard that it would take four compendium's to do it and two of them are already done. You guys seem to know ahead of time of what is down the pike. I was just wondering if the third compendium has already been announced by DC probably around February next year, which I think the last two compendiums were released.
Bob thanks.I knew someone in here would know something.
