So DC Comics has been lying like a rug for the past while, it turns out. This has turned out well in one case, badly in another ( Read more... )

I'd love to be reading Hellblazer, but I don't think I'd fully appreciate today's stories without reading what has come before. I'm currently waiting for them to release the Fear Machine trade, which Amazon has listed for a June release (although you can usually get books earlier from proper comic book retailers). I'm sort of a wait-for-the-trade snob. (And now that we know they are releasing a third trade of Delano's Hellblazer, it's kind of safe to assume they will release the rest of it... eventually.)

It'll be the 40th anniversary by the time it's all out.

Which means there will be maybe 60 to 80 trades.

%#@&!!!

Oh, easily. I mean, look at Ennis and Azzarello. Each of them had their work collected in, I think, six to eight trade paperbacks. Delano's headed roughly that direction too. So, 6-8 trades is 40 issues. 40 years of 12 issues... yeah, somewhere between 60 and 80 trade paperbacks.
See, it really is readable out of order. I promise.
Hey, are you still in the area? Maybe we should figure out a way to get you participating in the marathon reading.
