But more to the point, DC just doesn't seem to have any interest in being tied into sequential collections in the trade paperback range (apart from the Chronicles, which are more of a convenience than anything), and I suspect that might be because A.) they don't publish all that many of them in a given year, and B.) from a marketing perspective, it's probably much easier to sell The Greatest Jimmy Olsen Signal Watch Stories Ever Told than Jimmy Olsen, Volume 7.
I think the "sequential" aspect is probably one of the least important factors in the success of the Showcase series.
