Now imagine the task of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)- the nation’s record keeper. Or the canceled check that paid for your first home. Or pictures of your great-great grandparents on the day they became American citizens. You may have military records from relatives who served in one of the World Wars-or even the Civil War. But no publisher is obligated to publish books they will lose money on just so fans can have a complete run of a book.About the National Archives of the United StatesĪnyone who has cleaned out a family attic knows the importance of keeping family records.
#CANCELED DC COLLECTIONS SERIES#
Other publishers have started series and stopped them when sales didn't warrant continuing. Same for the trade paperback series you've listed here.Īnd it ain't just DC. But not continuing the reprint collections was a financial decision.
We can argue about whether DC packaged and marketed it correctly. And I get it - it was a great series and there were a lot of people who invested in the first volumes and wanted to see it through to completion.īut it didn't sell well enough and DC pulled the plug. There was massive frustration that the trade paperback collections of this excellent series was never completed. Buried somewhere on these forum pages is a long back and forth regarding Sandman Mystery Theater. I understand the frustration, but I don't think its "repulsive" for a company to stop publishing a line when it's a money loser. Is there any interest from anyone on this board for DC to continue with these collections besides myself? Is there any hope that DC would resume with publishing these volumes? Or maybe republishing under a different format or line (like an Epic Collection). Lots of issues were collected in the recent crossover TPBs but a large part is still missingĭec 02, 2020Can someone help me compile a list: Although it was a business decision, hopefully they thought about how they would piss off the fans who did invest.”repulsed” may have been an over dramatic word to use, but that’s just me overdramatic AF!īatman: Shadow of the Bat seems to have stopped, of the 94 issues:īatman: Shadow of the Bat #13-23, Annual #1īatman: Shadow of the Bat #0, 24-31, Annual #2 These paperbacks aren’t cheap, so abandoned collections and lines feels like a waste of money. The fans are investing their money on these collections with the intentions of completing the line. Thank you for your reply but I’m referring to post crisis material like I mentioned in the beginning of my post (which you’ve obviously read) But good to know, it doesn’t hurt to add this onto the list.I appreciate your opinion but I find you to be a bit silly for thinking that this is acceptable behavior or this is an acceptable business practice. Unfortunately not enough people want to part with their money for certain books. They want your money as much as you want the books. They don't intentionally start a line only to cancel it and piss people off. If they did, DC would crank them out as fast as they could sell them. The fact is that the lines likely didn't sell enough to continue. 2+Īlso, while I am disappointed that these lines don't get to their logical end point, I think saying that this is a repulsive act perpetrated by DC is silly.

Is there any interest from anyone on this board for DC to continue with these collections besides myself? Is there any hope that DC would resume with publishing these volumes? Or maybe republishing under a different format or line (like an Epic Collection) I find it absolutely repulsive that DC would do this as many fans, including myself, invested in these books with the intentions of completing runs.
#CANCELED DC COLLECTIONS FULL#
I wanted to compile a list of post-crisis FULL Trade Paperback collections that DC started and have never finished or just ceased publishing anymore volumes.
