But a book like Countdown to Final Crisis Vol.
Even the Death and Return of Superman Omnibus, published for the Superman animated movie while the individual collections within are still in paperback, I can understand. Now, a book like Batman: Legacy (in the vein of classic Ra's al Ghul stories, but maybe not a classic itself), I can understand being out of print. Some of these are right, some have been subsequently republished.)
(Amazon reviewer Kauffinbauchser has put together an additional list of out-of-print DC Comics trades. Flash, the Fastest Man Alive: Full Throttle, out of print, being the better of the two books, whereas Lightning in a Bottle is still available 4, out of print, the lead-in to DC's second most recent crossover event, while volumes one, two, and three are still in print Underworld Unleashed crossover, out of print, along with Final Night The Death and Return of Superman hardcover omnibus, out of print Nightwing: A Knight in Bludhaven, out of print (the first volume, as is Rough Justice, Love and Bullets, A Darker Shade of Justice, The Hunt for Oracle, and Big Guns, which are most of Chuck Dixon's run on the book) Flash: Rogues, out of print, from Geoff Johns' Wally West run, along with Crossfire, Blitz, and Ignition, (being the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth volumes) but Wonderland, Blood Will Run, The Secret of Barry Allen, and Rogue War are all available (volumes one, two, seven, and eight respectively) 4, out of print (but volumes one, two, and five are available) Batman: Legacy, out of print, along with Batman: Cataclysm (the volume that preceded these, Batman: Contagion, is still in print) It's astounding to me that some of the titles below are out of print, and these are in fact just culled from a general survey the fact is probably that many, many more titles are out of print. I also understand that just because we might argue within the confines of the Collected Editions blog that The Final Night, for instance, ought still be in print because it reflects a chapter in Hal Jordan's life as Parallax, does not mean there's a real widespread interest in Final Night, nor that it would be profitable long-term for DC Comics to invest in a second printing ( edit: nor, as Johanna and Caleb point out, would it be profitable necessarily for booksellers to stock it). ComicsBlips - The Trade You Want is Out of PrintTo be clear, I understand that "new from the publisher" tends to lose its meaning in regards to comics - even if you can't find a new copy online, there's likely dozens of local comic book stores out there with a never-read copy of whatever trade paperback, old or new, you might like.
