Glad to see this one finally materialize!
I would suspect so. Geoff Johns - and more recently, Scott Snyder - still sell very well in the collections department, even though they're not DC exclusive.
While I would say Tynion's star never rose quite as high as either of theirs during his DC tenure, he's still got a lot of hits under his belt at this point.
Interesting that DC appears to be done with Geoff Johns' JSA and Green Lantern TPBs - stopping at volume 4 of each. The Vol 4s came out a year ago with no Vol 5 in sight.
Waid's Flash is on Vol 8, but they just give up on the Johns' runs?
Very disappointing.

See thats what I dont get. Marvel releases Omnis all the time but then re-releases that material in Epic Collection TPB format. Unless Marvel just sells more books and has more interest overall(?) - Im not a numbers person. Im just not a fan of bulky 1500 page hardcovers.

Oh for sure - it sucks when a line is just abandoned. I also remembered Sandman Mystery Theater got dropped a couple volumes in.
Marvel seems to make right on this kinda stuff. Even for the most obscure stuff. For example Man-Thing by Steve Gerber has an omni out collecting the whole run - and had 2 TPB volumes out, needing a 3rd to complete it. It took Marvel 5 years since Vol 2 but they finally printed that 3rd TPB volume this year in 2021. Stuff like that is just amazing for the fanbase. I highly doubt Man-Thing is setting the sales charts on fire in any format - but they found a way to get it all out there. Youre telling me DC cant do the same for Geoff Johns' JSA and Green Lantern?
I wonder if DC could release this stuff at lower print runs - a bit higher cover price, something like that, people who followed the line for so long would buy it - rather than pissing off fans over and over.
Its not all doom and gloom for DC though - I will forever give DC credit for printing the entire Hellblazer run in TPB (just one more volume to go!). This thing has over a decade long release schedule - and they kept the spines the same and kept the Vertigo logo on there even after it changed to Black Label. Pretty impressive.

Oof, Absolute Swamp Thing by Alan Moore volume 3 was only 2 months away, but now it looks like it's gotten delayed all the way to March 2022.

The spines on the Hellblazer have changed, my volume 3-5 all have DC Vertigo on them instead of just Vertigo.
