DC Comics has cancelled the upcoming Sandman Mystery Theatre third trade paperback, which would have collected Vertigo’s Sandman Mystery Theatre #25-35 by Matt Wagner and Guy Davis, as well as the Sandman crossover one-shot Sandman Midnight Theatre written with Neil Gaiman.
It will not be resolicited.
This is the third time that DC Comics has attempted to collect the full run of the series, but it seems that order numbers peter off around the same mark.
Will they try for a fourth go sometime? Maybe an Omnibus?

Well, this gives me more of a reason to not get the second trade paperback.
Was considering buying this recently, glad I didn't now.
>>92290298

>Really looking forward to this one

DC's collections department is weird.
They decided to give Transmetropolitan the Absolute treatment, but they never finished collecting it and the last volume came out a year ago
Why is today so bad

This.
Why don't they do a Sandman episode of Legends of Tomorrow or something? Those CW shows are like the best TPB commercials they can do.
Ignoring the fact that this and Jonah Hex would make really, REALLY good HBO series.
Seriously, this is probably one of DC's most critically acclaimed series of all time and they can't even make it to three volumes?

Why would you not buy it just because it won't get another trade?
It's still a really good series, and self-contained.
>>92292159
Because I like buying completed series, don't want it unfinished.

DC are fucking retarded with canceling shit. They should know by now how autistic trade buyers are and how they want complete runs so a lot of people will only start buying the trades of an older series when they're all out.
Sandman and Starman both got fucked over at the third collection.
>>92290298
Fucking what.
I was gonna buy that. Goddamnit.
You can find back issues for less than $2 a pop, except for Sandman Midnight Theater, which I've seen marked up a bit high for my tastes.
Yup, pretty cheap on My Comic Shop. https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=109601
For anyone who would buy trades but not single issues: a shelf of trades is not going to get you laid.

a shitload of longboxes won't get you laid either
