Wanting to collect this run, either with the individual Vol TPs. Or the all-in-one collected Hopeless TP, but 2015 #6-7 is noticable absent. I've noticed that it isn't drawn by the regular Javier Rodriguez, but both issues still seem to be written by Hopeless. Not only that, but based on the issue description I'm seeing off League of Comic Geeks, the plot of those issues still seems like it still relevant to the main story? So what gives?

Interested in this series mostly because of Javier Rodriguez's art, and I have a couple options, but also questions. (Note: getting all my info from League of Comic Geeks, which isn't always 100% accurate).

A) Start collecting TP starting from vol 2 of 2014 run, which starts at issue #5, and then just continue till the end of 2015 run. Looks like 2014 vol 1/ issues #1-4 is Greg Land, and storywise deals with some Spider-Verse stuff? Is this actually relevant or leads into the pregnant Jessica Drew storyline? Or is this is a a safe skip?

B) Get the Spider-Woman by Dennis Hopeless TP. Which offers a mostly complete compilation of the 2014 and 2015 run (including that initial Spider-Verse #1-4 drawn by Greg Land). However it notably leaves out from the 2015 run #6-7. It's not drawn by the regular Rodriguez, but DOES still seem to be written by Hopeless. The plot summary as well seems to be still relevant to the pregnant Jessica Drew storyline. Any idea why these issues are left out of the Hopeless TP?

It starts on #7, so skips six issues, which isn't a whole lot. I can only presume that if there was a DC Finest that collects stories chronologically before #7, it would include that and then maybe some additional stories? What happens in #1-6 that they wouldn't just throw it into this DC Finest volume?

I wanna say I saw something said about how the Dark Genesis recoloring will be what will be used for all reprints of this Len Wein era moving forward (the DC Finest looks to be coming out in December and Dark Genesis in November so timing wise it works out), but I'm having trouble confirming this information

Wondering if anyone with experience would have any insight on that.
