I’ve had a terrible idea. This is a quick mock up idea for a 9-volume “Complete Brightest Day” binding set.  All the spines would add up to that awesome four-page gatefold spread from Blackest Night #8.  Each volume is a specific color, likely corresponding to either a lantern ring, an entity, or a specific ringbearer from that specific part of the spectrum — so if it was the entities it’d be Black Hand, Butcher, Ophidian, Parallax, Ion, Adara, Proselyte, Predator, and the Entity. How many issues would this require? Between 108-162.  How much would this cost? A lot.  The binding costs alone would reach about $375.  Add in the issues, which will soon all be $3.99, you’re talking about a book set that could cost $800 easily.  If I was smart I’d double the cost but try to sell the set. I doubt anyone would buy it for a grand though, and that’s what it’d cost for me to decrease costs to the point where I’d actually feel “okay” about it.  If there are that many Brightest Day issues I’ll still probably do it though.
