*(Go nudge Hix about writing a new "Uncollected Editions" for us, won't you?)

Thanks to Collected Editions contributor Hix * for the tip -- a number of online retailers are now listing collections of DC Comics'sevent for pre-order.Based on these solicitations (which, please note, are preliminary and subject to change), it looks likeand its miniseries will be collected in a total of nine collections -- one foritself and two each for the miniseries "eras" -- all paperback, and all arriving in October-November 2015. Each collection costs less than $20.What looks good here, for me, is that all of these collections will be out relatively soon, before the end of the year. I am admittedly a tad surprised to see them all in paperback and not hardcover (though who knows, maybe there will be a), but I guess when you're dealing with twenty issues per era, two competitively-priced paperbacks per era maybe makes sense.One twist is that whereas I might expect the collections to be released in their publication order --(or "Crisis," as the collections are calling it) and pre-(or "Infinite Earths") -- they're actually being released as listed above:. Granted I believe the miniseries eras are modular in terms of when you can read them, and again all of this is subject to change, but it struck me as odd.Online retailers have these listed as coming out starting the week of October 11 and going into the first week in November, which I think means that your local comics shop should basically have these in each of the four full weeks of October.No telling at this point exactly which of the miniseries will appear in which Book One/Book Two of their eras. However, if you missed it the first time, here's links to the Collected Editions guide to theminiseries and the trades that lead into each one:So whichcollection are you most looking forward to?
