When You Can Finally Buy the New 52 Collected Editions (Hint: A Long Time from Now)
Nearly 5 months have passed since the DC Comics "New 52" relaunched their entire superhero line, and while the ambitious initiative and its mixed bag of results were the biggest news of 2012, some of you are still waiting for the collected editions. Well, I have great news for the trade-waiters and spoiler-avoiders: The publication dates for all the New 52 collected editions have been announced on DC's Source blog.
The less-great news is they won't be hitting shelves until at May at the earliest and November at the latest, meaning that on the later end they'll be coming out more than a year after the books debuted. For some perspective, if you or a female partner were to get pregnant today, the baby would arrive long before the Flash collection, or less tragically, Red Hood and the Outlaws Vol. 1: REDemption.
But what do we know? We're just simple country folk who don't understand their big city comics rebootin' ways.
