    We all hope so. DC may feel the need to reduce output, and I think we all get that, we just would rather they complete already begun runs rather than start new ones. Right, that's the general feeling?

    I wish they would have included BATMAN #311 and DETECTIVE #503.
    Also the Batgirl story from SECRET ORIGINS #20 would have been nice since it was written by Barbara Randall who wrote the BG special and her finale two backup stories in Detective(518-519) and the introduction to the Omnibus.

    Yes, I am upset that B&B Vol #3 was cancel. Finish what you start, DC.

    Rumor has it that it will be resolicted. However, I haven't heard anything about that Bronze Age JLA #3. I'm crossing fingers..........

    The Exile omnibus picks up right after the end of the Byrne run, and has many plot points based on that run. I would recommend starting with the Man of Steel collections that collect the Byrne run. If those are not available, you can read the omnibus since they recap the pertinent information.

    I also had only read some various stories, mostly from the Action Comics 80th HC. But like Rincewind said, ideally you'd want to start with Byrne's "reboot", but it's 9 trade paperbacks and some of them are getting pricey. I gathered mine from various places like eBay and IST.

    But you can jump into the Exile omni instead and not really be lost. It's a fun omni and I recommend it even if you don't read the issues before it.

    My order for B&B vol 3 was cancelled by amazon, but by Bronze Age JLA 3 is still showing out on May 28th and actually is cheaper than it was last week.
    So hopefully that’s still coming out as originally planned, would imagine it’s been actually printed by now, so a bit silly not to release it.

    Two more Edelweiss cancellations:

    Suicide Squad by Keith Giffen
    Outsiders by Judd Winick Book Two

    Neither had been solicited to comic shops yet, but I imagine Outsiders book one didn't garner enough sales to warrant even soliciting book two. So I guess that's another one we can add to the "Abandoned" list.

    With a Suicide Squad, sequel, soft reboot or whatever film on the horizon I still see a scenario where this gets resolicited.

    DC advanced solicited it - if you read the June listing for it, it says Nov. 6 - a lot of bigger ticket items are solicited well in advance

    I was tempted to pre-order Outsiders by Winick Book 1, but held off. Glad I did; no need for even more abandoned series on my shelf.

    Agreed, I was waiting for it to go on sale on Comixology, now I'll just skip it. It's a shame DC is winding down before we got restored trades of the triangle era Superman books. If the post crisis batman series can't stay in production it's a sad day indeed.

I don't do digital though.
    I should have read the previous page first. Sadly even if you liked digital as I do Superman has too many missing issues. DC is a failure compared to Marvel.

    didn't DC just announce that they will upload A LOT of comics to their new digital platform? Don't know exactly what but apparently it's an overwhelming amount of issues.

    I saw some really good obscure stuff floating around there. Waiting for them to launch even more before I consider getting it.

    Meh, just not into digital comics.
    I don't have cable tv either.
    I could be happy with a flip phone 98% of the time.
    I only "got rid" of my landline cause I moved and the new house didn't have one.
