What Needs to be Collected?

I love all these new trades out nowadays, especially the older stuff like these new Levitz era LOSH books. Any runs you want to see put together for your reading pleasure?

I really wish I would've kept my Animaniacs comics. ._.

Young Justice
Green Lantern: Mosaic
Impulse
Superboy

Deadpool, if for no other reason than maybe it would bring the prices down on back issues.

Dang where to start? Stuff I wanna see:

She-Hulk Visionaries: John Byrne
Captain America Visionaries: Mark Grunwald
New Warriors Classics
Quasar Classics

I'm sure I'll think of more...

Young Justice and Superboy definitely. Sadly, it was just mentioned recently by DC that there isn't enough of a demand for YJ... yet. I can't think of anything else that already isn't already being put out (or I don't own).

I really wish Marvel & DC would put out the Showcase/Essentials trade more frequently. I'm not a big fan of many 60s/70s comics... C'mon... Where are the 80s ?!?!?

Remember when DC solicited a Showcase Presents for Ostrander's Suicide Squad, then it disappeared? That sucked.

YEAH! I was looking at the Showcase list on Wiki a few weeks ago and it got me mad all over again seeing it was canceled. I guess sales of that mini did it in?

Nah, continued rights issues with books from that time. Same reason the Captain Carrot and Great Disaster trades were cancelled.

:x

Along with the Suicide Squad trade at the time I ordered Showcase Presents Legion of Super-Villains. Both were canceled and never solicited again, for same reasons. Dammit...

As for the list:

Deadpool
Major Bummer
Hitman

The second volume of Essential Deadpool comes out soon, collecting #2-9 and the Daredevil/Deadpool Annual, I believe.

Well, DC's making a new printing of the first trade, so hopefully they'll do more. That's one series I've always wanted to read.

I assume you mean besides the two minis that were collected in Deadpool Classic?

In April.

GLEE!!!

Green Arrow and Black Canary are really cool!!!

Not a collection, of sorts, but I'm off to go read me some Green Arrow. I think I left off on ish 6. I think.

Essential ROM: Spaceknight

Everyone knows my love of Rom, but I also know it's a cult favorite among many comic creators. I'd love some of today's fans to have the chance to check this book out.

New Teen Titans: Starfire

We've had New Teen Titans trades that have focused on Raven, Terra, and Donna Troy, I want a trade focusing on Starfire as the Titans go into space to help her with issues on Tamaran.

Hulk Visionaries: Bill Mantlo

PAD is generally seen as the Hulk's finest writer but a lot of what he worked with came from the run of Mantlo so I'd love to see his work payed forward and printed.

Manhunter (Ostrander)

One of the best non-League books out at the time, Mark Shaw keeps showing up through the decades for a reason: his story is one of the best.

Aquaman: American Tidal

The initial story arc of Pfeifer's acclaimed Aquaman run.

Greatest Aquaman Stories Ever Told

My picks:

More Fun Comics #73 (1941): "The Submarine Strikes", first appearance of Aquaman.

Adventure Comics #260 (1959): "How Aquaman Got His Powers!", Silver Age emergence of Aquaman.

Aquaman #18 (1964): "The Wedding of Aquaman!", Mera and Aquaman wed, which maybe the first super-hero marriage of the Silver Age.

Aquaman #23 (1965): "The Birth of Aquababy", Arthur Jr. is born.

Adventure Comics #452 (1977): “Dark Destiny, Deadly Dreams", Black Manta unmasks for the first time and the death of Arthur Jr.

Aquaman: Time & Tide #2 (1994): "Fish Tales", origin of Post-Crisis Aquaman.

Aquaman #2 (1994): "Single Wet Female", Aquaman loses his hand to piranha ala Charybdis.

Aquaman #21 and 22 (2004): "With the Fishes", Aquaman deals with an emerging mob in Sub-Diego and faces perhaps his greatest foe in the Eel.

Warlock and the Infinity Watch

I had an issue of ROM when I was a kid (12 or 13 I think) As a matter of fact I think my brother may still have it.

Thomas' All-Star Squadron and Levitz's Legion of Super-Heroes.
