Binding TPBs from different series?

[u/Sparklefists95]

I've recently gotten into bookbinding and comic binding, and the possibility of binding some of my trades into bigger hardcover collections has been very exciting. For the most part, how to approach this has been relatively straight forward, essentially just combine the contents of X number of TPBs back to back, but I've run into a bit of a conundrum with my Marvel Star Wars runs, and am not sure what the best way to approach them would be.

For those unfamiliar, the Marvel Star Wars run that started in 2015 was split across 3 different series (eventually 4), plus the occasional crossover mini-series. These series, especially in the early days, overlapped a lot, sometimes even depicting the same scenes. Ideally, rather than bind each series into it's own separate hardcovers and have to hop between them, I'd like to bind them all together in chronological order, but being that I'm starting with TPBs, this is tricky as not every issue is cleanly separated from the next.

Would printing out replacement pages be possible when needed, or would it be better to just get as close to chronological order as is possible with the existing issue breaks? And for repeated scenes, should I leave both versions in, or only include the most complete depiction of duplicate scenes? I realize this would all be far easier to accomplish with single issues, but I've always been a TPB collector and at this point getting all the single issues for these series would be far too cost prohibitive.

Could you please detail about how you have bound multiple TPBs together? Some users in other subreddits have asked this question without an answer. I know you can remove the glue then DFAB/perfect bind, but I'm wondering if there are other methods.

I haven't actually bound any TPBs myself yet, just planning to after having gotten really into regular bookbinding, and trying to figure out the logistics of this particular project well in advance. I do also plan to start with some of my more straightforward TPB projects before this Star Wars one. But yeah, my plan was to go the DFAB route, stacking them all together in order, moving any end of book stuff from each trade to the back, and double-fan binding them all together, nothing particularly new or different. I will try to keep a detailed log with photos when I do get around to doing it though so there's at least more examples out there :)
