Is this what you call a trade paperback?

Is this what is referred to in comics as a "trade paperback"?

--a paperback book that contains the material that was formerly in several comic books. For example, instead of buying Batman Adventures #1-20 comic books one by one, you can wait and buy them all at once, in a neatly compiled book, called a trade paperback.

If so, then I'm looking for trade paperbacks of the following comic books:

-Batman: Gotham Knights
-Batman Adventures
-Superman Adventures
-Justice League Adventures
-Batman Beyond
-Dreamwave's G1 Transformers
-Dreamwave's G.I. Joe
-the new TMNT
-the new MOTU

Thanks for the help! :)

Any trade paperbacks of Gotham Knights are years old by now and may even be out of print.

A few digest-sized paperbacks of the recent Batman Adventures title were released in the past few months.

Trade paperbacks of Mark Millar's issues of Superman Adventures will be released within the next few months.

One trade paperback of Justice League Adventures was released about two years ago and should still be in print and found at most stores.

You should be able to find some myriad trades of the new MOTU and G1 Transformers at bookstores if you look hard enough.

Finally, to the best of my knowledge, no trade paperbacks of Batman Beyond, G.I. Joe, and TMNT have been released.

Bottom line, don't automatically assume that a title will be released in trade format, and certainly don't assume that it'll have 20 issues of a title in it, because the average is 4-5, some having fewer, and some having more.

out of interest, by "Batman Beyond" do you mean this?

or something else?

Maybe... I've heard that in the Batman Beyond comic book series, we see a lot more of the JLU, as well as immortal or near-immortal characters like Etrigan, Vandal Savage, and Darkseid making appearances in the Batman Beyond era. That's what I want to read about! :)

Well, if trade paperbacks are few & far between, then how do I find back issues? I'd like to start with the issues of Batman Beyond above, and Justice League Adventures... :)

Squall, do yourself a huge favor. Read only Dan Slott's and Jason Hall's issues of Justice League Adventures and leave the rest to sit in a back issue bin somewhere. And all you see of the JLU in the Batman Beyond comic series is a two issue arc which doesn't even star the entire JLU.

The best place to find the issues you're looking for are either at a comic book store if you have one around you or online, especially at www.milehighcomics.com (http://www.milehighcomics.com)
