    Shade, The Changing Man may have come close. Vol. 1 was out for years, and appeared abandoned, until they put out 2 and 3 almost back to back. Of course we never saw vol. 4, but that's another story...
    Im convinced, especially with the state of DC these days, Shade will NEVER get collected. I ended up buying Milligan's full run in single issues during a LCS sale recently for this reason.

    The only other major delays I can think of for trades similar to Animal Man is over at Marvel. They technically still arent even out yet. Hickman's Fantastic Four Complete Collection Vol 3 has been missing for a year and a half. Vol 2 came out summer 2019. Vol3 is slated for 2021. Same for Man Thing Vol 3 - its been something like 4 years since vol 2 - vol 3 is due in 2021 as well.
    Currently Reading:
    Milligan's Shade the Changing Man, Vertigo Hellblazer trades, Love and Rockets TPBs, Stray Bullets TPBs, Ellis' The Wildstorm

    Oh really? I hadn't heard that. I just remember it was solicited, I pre-ordered it from DCBS and literally a week or two before release I got an email that it was canceled. With short notice, I figured it was a issue with low pre-orders.

    Pollack's Doom Patrol is no Morrison, but it isn't bad. It gets unfair criticism simply for not being as groundbreaking as what came before.

    While Milligan and Veitch's Animal Man runs are ok, they aren't as good as Morrison's. However, I think Delano's work is better than Morrison's, and to this date is the best stuff that's been done with the character (Lemire is a close second).

    OH really? Is it possible to skip to the Delano run? I absolutely adore the Lemire run.

    I guess it's possible to skip Delano, although I don't know why you would since it's the best thing ever... *shrug*

    I received notifications from Amazon that the next Golden Age Superman and Wonder Woman omnibuses, and the last Brave and the Bold omnibuses have been rescheduled for 2022, and when you go to the product page they aren't available to pre order anymore, so effectively canceled for now it seems.

    Not again
    I have checked amazon.uk. They still got the 2021 as a release date.

    amazon.de just shows a shift from March 2021 to September 2021 (which is bad enough) ...

    Amazon UK still has the original release dates.

    ... which are not up to date. Edelweiss shows September, too, as updated release date.

    The link comes up just fine for me, so try a different browser. At any rate, it now shows, as has been stated, a release date of September 7, 2021 on there.

    I believe Vilynne meant is it ok to skip everything between Morrison and Delano, and pick up as Delano's run starts

    If I could add my 2 cents, I would say Morrison's run is my favourite AM. I found Delano's run extremely out there, very trippy but not in an enjoyable way. As a completionist, I read through all the runs. IIRC, I wasn't too keen on Milligan's (short) run.
