I'm sure theres a good reason for it (flooding the market or some such thing) but I noticed combing through Amazon that some Secret Wars tie-ins aren't being collected until March 2016 (aka almost six months after they're all complete). Why? It seems weird that you can collect some within a few weeks of them ending but others take half a year?
As with our monthly titles, we put out a certain number of collected editions across all categories every month. But with SECRET WARS, everything is ending at about the same time, which means that the books are all possible at the same time. But we don’t do that many books a month, and even if we wanted to, that would prevent us from having the bandwidth to do other books in that time period. And the average book retailer and reader isn’t going to be able to afford to buy them all at once. So we spaced the releases out over a number of months so that they didn’t overwhelm everything else we’ll be doing in that timeframe.
