David's Hulk and Miller's Daredevil
seem
Masterworks worthy to me. After all, to many people David and Miller's runs are the defining runs of Hulk and Daredevil respectively, much the same as Chris Clarement's X-Men run, which got its own Masterworks line. However, I don't see a particular reason to do this. The bulk of Miller's Daredevil work is already collected in Daredevil Visionaries 1-3 and the Born Again TPB, giving the Masterworks treatment less importance. Besides this, Miller's run starts relatively early in the series, at 158. The next Daredevil Masterworks will go up to 63. It won't be very long until they start on Miller's run anyway.
The same goes for Peter David, whos run is still being collected in the Hulk Visionaries line (the 8th volume of which comes out in a few days). David's run has an additional wrinkle: Length. Say the "Peter David Hulk" Masterworks comes out once a year. It'll be 8 years before the Masterworks are where the Visionaries line is at, while the Visionaries line would be near the end. After that it would be another 10 years before it is all collected. It sounds like a pain in the butt just to have that specific run in hardcover.
Just let the current Daredevil and Hulk MMs get to that point naturally rather than shoehorning in creator specific series that just add more books into the release rotation. The real point of the Masterworks line is to have character appearances or books in chronological order, and setting aside extra series just to collect stories that are already collected seems to go against that grain.
What needs to happen is another printing of Miller's Daredevil omnibus and the creation of a Peter David's Hulk omnibus.
Oh, and my deepest apologies for going off topic.
