Master of TOG-fu.
This is the all purpose thread for complaining about out of print books. I remember when I first started collecting, trade paperbacks and hardcover collections were a easy cheap way to catch up on series without having to search bins for backissues.
Now everything goes out of print. Some books remind cheap on sites like amazon and ebay. But some skyrocket in price and there is no rhythm for some of them.
I understand big deluxe releases like the Marvel and DC Omnibus line and even the DC Absolutes. But when something goes out of print, private sellers sell that stuff for so much.
Examples are the first trade of the Stephanie Brown Batgirl series is like 100 dollars on amazon. Guardians of the Galaxy, both trade and hardcover are overpriced. There is a movie coming out and how are new readers suppose to catch up. Oh wait read the dumb Bendis relaunch. The thing is books that only came out a few months ago sell out so fast.
My question is if books are selling well, why are they not producing more? It seems like they are losing money this way.
Anyway this is a just a rant. What books would you like to see reprinted or maybe just what books would you like to see made?
