How DC could murder my wallet next year (existing lines only)

**Batman 1989-1990: Collects Batman #436-446, Detective #604-612, annuals and related stories**

**Batman 1990: Collects Batman #447-454, Detective #613-621, annuals and related stories**

Look, I get Post-Crisis Batman has been spoiled lately, with 4 DC Finest volumes by this July. But also, I just want to get to a narratively satisfying spot before we pause for a bit, y’know? We are starting the Alan Grant Tec run with Death in the Family and Blind Justice, these two volumes would not only reach the end of that, but also close out the Wolfman run simultaneously. Then we can pause for a year or two if needed, prioritise other eras. Just get me to a good pause point first?

**Batman 1983-1984: Batman #360-373 Detective Comics #527-540, annuals**

**Batman 1984-1985: Batman #374-387 Detective Comics #541-553, annuals**

So I haven’t bought Red Skies yet, because as a new DC reader, I’m worried it will be like Marvel’s Epic Collections, and a random volume will be left hanging without its matches for years at a time. I love Moench’s Moon Knight, and I want to read his Batman. Announce one of these and I will have a lot more faith that the other won’t be far behind and break my initial planned rule of only collecting Bats post-crisis. And then again, after DC can prioritise other eras like the 70s or Golden Age or whatever for awhile

**Green Lantern 1959-1962: All Green Lantern comics pre the 1963-1965 vol**

I still haven’t read my other two GL Finest Collections because I am waiting until I have the first volume. Please DC, don’t leave me hanging

**Green Lantern 1987-1989: Green Lantern Corps 220-224, the Action Comics run, whatever else from this era**

So I have read almost everything GL from the Wein run up to Emerald Twilight over the last couple years, but the one gap of stuff I couldn't track down is this period. So I’d like to fill that gap in real bad

**Batgirl 1999-2000: Cass volume 1. Idk the mapping, surprise me**

I want to reread Cass’s original run, but I don’t have the first 6 issues so I haven’t done so >:(

**Fourth World 1971-1972: Mister Miracle 5-10, the Forever People 6-11, New Gods 5-11, Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen 142-148**

**Fourth World 1972-1984: Mister Miracle 11-25, New Gods 12-19, New Gods (1984) #6, The Hunter Dogs**

Kinda hefty size, hopefully DC is willing to do this and not toss Kirby's 80s stuff in a post-crisis volume or something. Do these both in one year and I will be very happy having a narratively complete trilogy on my shelf :)
