They did it for Moore; it's overdue for Casey. His Wildcats stuff, including the as yet uncollected 4th Wildcats arc; and his terrific Majestic stuff too.

There seems to be a holdup in Wildcats v4, so this would suffice nicely in the meantime.

I don't know. It'd be nice but his stuff never sold that well. And the Wildstorm stuff in general doesn't seem to be doing great either.

I doubt they'll do it...not saying it wouldn't be cool to see, but I doubt it'll ever happen. I'm pretty sure they only did the Alan Moore one because it's Alan Moore, creator of a whole bunch of other stuff like Watchmen, V for Vendetta, and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. His name alone sells books. Joe Casey? Not so much...Beyond Godland I can't think of one property that Casey has created that could be considered at the level of some of Moore's stuff...and that's just looking at how far the comics have gotten in the mainstream media eye and not even looking at the quality of the comic material.

Not to mention that would have to be a pretty large volume to fit all of the material Casey has done on Wildcats AND Majestic. Both of Casey's runs on Wildcats alone would be a VERY large volume and those types of volumes...sales are a major factor in getting them produced because if they don't move that's a price retailers have to pay.

I have a feeling you'd see a 4th Wildcats 3.0 trade LONG before you'd ever see a "Complete Works of Joe Casey" trade...I could be wrong but I wouldn't hold my breath for either...

It's a pipe dream, but it's my pipe dream. And I won't give it up.

Casey's Youngblood run is looking pretty good though.

Wait, the 3rd arc or volume of 3.0 was put out?

I need to find that then.

Volume three hasn't been fully released in trades. There was one, maybe two.

Casey's Wildcats pisses all over most of Moore's Image work - I think even Alan Moore would agree with that.

That said the only way that book would sell is if it had "ALAN MOORE" written on the cover in big letters
