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.
