There’s been a lot of talk on Blogs, Twitter and many message boards, on just how DC Comics will collect Wednesday Comics. Keep in mind that at its core, Wednesday Comics are newspapers and measure 14 x 20 and are 16 pages long. 12 weeks from now, when it’s all said and done, there will be 192 total pages with a retail cost of $48.00.
Myself, and many others, think that DC should try as best as they can to keep the oversized format and do it in the same manner that Sunday Press Books has done with Little Nemo In Slumberland: So Many Splendid Sunday’s or Sundays with Walt & Skeezix. Those books top out at 21 x 16.6. It’s plenty of room to keep the exact same size that DC Comics has going right now. Keep in mind that Little Nemo retails for $120 and is 128 pages while Walt & Skeezix retails for $90 and has 96 pages.
If DC does go with the Little Nemo format, they should offer Wednesday Comics as a 2-Volume (Absolute) Hardcover set with approximately 100 pages each, including introductions, detailed creator credits and a few extras with a price of $150 ($75 per volume).
Let’s wait and see if I’m proven wrong.

I do not like Wednesday Comics to be collected, but if they do they should wait for about issue 50 or so and than start collecting each individual comic in there eg Rock bu Kubert in same size as printed not, no shrinking down and I would do them on nice paper with thicj sofcovers. That’s all.
Looks like I was off a bit
