Without trying to sound maudlin, "when" is crucially important to some of us. I'll be 60 in a few months and I know I'm not the oldest on these boards. I can't assume that I have ten more years of Masterworks collecting; at some point I'm going to have to start selling them off. I don't want to die and leave my wife with 400 Masterworks and Archives to liquidate. But even with ten more years, a single volume per year does me no real good.

There's roughly 40 Golden Age volumes remaining, which would mean four per year to complete in a decade, assuming that I even live that long. Considering that we haven't seen a Golden Age volume in quite awhile, how likely do you think that we'll suddenly start seeing 4 (or more) per year?

When the Masterworks were in high gear a few short years ago, I thought that having the entire Timely superhero output in hardcover was doable. Now, sadly, it's just a pipe dream.

That's their plan--wait for us to die THEN release ALL the GA/ATLAS books!  (It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you!)Ohwell
