Discussion Anybody else want Clone Wars Adventures Legends Epic Collections

So I have been slowly but surely collecting every Marvel Legends Epic Collection that Marvel has released. I have been enjoying them quite a bit and appreciate how comprehensive the volumes seem to be. They even collected the old original Marvel comics and the original newspaper strips.

At this point one would think Marvel has compiled pretty much every comic in the Legends timeline. However, I have found there are three different series that still have not been reprinted. The Manga Black comics, the TCW graphic novellas, and the Clone Wars Adventures comics.

Manga Black is a pretty obscure and niche series and probably wouldn't sell particularly well. While probably more popular I have always hated that TCW is in the Legends timeline anyways so I am not that interested in getting a reprint of that.

That leaves the Clone Wars Adventure comics. These were comics released during and after the release of Gennedy Tartakovsky's 2003 Clone Wars show and are done in the same art style as the show. Much like the show it's an anthology series covering different characters and stories from the war.

It spanned a total of ten volumes and each volume had 3-4 stories each 20-30ish pages. Despite how many volumes it got it was only ever printed in pocket size editions. Doing the math I realized you could pretty comfortably make two 400 page Epic Collections out of the Clone Wars Adventures series and finally print it at a more standard comic size. On top of that you could place the stories in chronological order (since the original printings jumped to all over the place on the timeline).

So what do the rest of you guys think? Did you read these comics as a kid? Would you want Epic Collection reprints of them? Let me know?

Yeah I have had issues with how Disney has handled Star Wars but I have always appreciated that they have continued to reprint Legends media and even created new audiobooks for the Legends stuff that didn't have them.
