I bought a huge amount of trades (volumes 3-7) and want to read in order. But why is the volume 3 trade issues 16-19 and then the next volume, #5, skips over 20-25 and starts with 26? Were issues 20-25 just filler? Here is a listing of the trades in the proper order... Why is Volume 8 so expensive? Is it that hard to find? What trades do I need to buy past Volume 13 to catch up to the Brubaker Volume 1 TPB? I want to read in order. I have volumes 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and then the Brubaker trades, which start at issue #82. Thanks. I assume there must be a FAQ on this somewhere, but I could not find it. (Edited search tag...Moderatin' 'Muu ) Last Edited By: Gormuu 06/15/08 1:04 PM. Edited 2 times.

I've never read them, so I couldn't say for sure. But I think that's been Joe Quesada's answer in the past, those issues just aren't reprint-worthy. Why is Volume 8 so expensive? I have no idea how hard it is to find, but I'm pretty sure it's out of print right now. It collects the David Mack issues. What trades do I need to buy past Volume 13 to catch up to the Brubaker Volume 1 TPB? I want to read in order. I have volumes 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and then the Brubaker trades, which start at issue #82. Volume 13 ends with #81. After you read Volume 13, the next book should be the first Brubaker volume. Check out the What If? pages on the Marvel Masterworks website!

I couldn't tell you exactly what the arc was about, but that's not because it was not memorable but rather because I've read so many damned arcs over the past several years that I've lost track of individual stories! I'd recommend grabbing the floppies if you can find them somewhere for cheap prices. ********************************** Memorywall** is out!!!

Sorry Bob Frowning on your shenanigans since 1965

Given the crap that Quesada has approved, reprinted, or personally produced, it takes a lot of gall for him to declare ANYHING "not reprint-worthy." JRjr

Well, I don't think it's been established that he actually said that or used those words. And as always, context is important, too. I was just looking for a citation so I could make up my own mind about it. This forum has a website!

If he (or anyone else at Marvel) said it, it was from more than 2 or 3 years ago, and of course plans can always change over a time period like that. Maybe he just said that Marvel had no plans to reprint it, and perhaps some poster's responses and presumed reasons for that non-reprinting were replaced for Joe's words in my mind.

The tone of the stories just did not match what came before or after. It reminded me a little of the pre-Miller DD, where he was something of a "swashbuckling" hero. Maybe this story could have worked better as a mini, since it was so different than the series at the time?
