You'd have a major issue of the TPB's vulturing sales from the HC Masterworks if they came out that soon after the HC versions. I'd love to get them faster too, but the softcover versions only exist because of the HC versions and their much higher price point.


I think there's also the consideration that there's a limit to the amount of product a constrained market will absorb in a given month. (A more frequent release schedule would probably have an impact in the mass market, as well.) If Marvel is going to push up against that limit, it makes sense for them to dfo so with product that's going to do better for them than the softcover Masterworks tend to.
