“‘Mein Kampf.’ OMAC rejoins with Brother Eye and changes history by giving the Nazis futuristic technology. Story, art, and cover by John Byrne.”

And if we’re really dreaming, OMAC.

***********

The first DC Finest volume of the DEMON came out within the last couple of weeks.  It contained the entire Kirby series plus back-up stories or guest appearances from BRAVE AND THE BOLD, BATMAN FAMILY, DETECTIVE COMICS, and WONDER WOMAN.  These volumes collect characters or series up until 2011, when the New 52 reboot happened.  Left to be collected for the Demon is a 4 issue miniseries from the 80s, a serial in ACTION COMICS WEEKLY, the 90s series which ran for 58 issues (plus a zero issue and 2 annuals) and BLOOD OF THE DEMON, which ran for 17 issues.  At around 600 issues per volume, it would only take about four more volumes to finish the Demon (possibly more if there are a lot of guest appearances in other titles that are included).  BLOOD OF THE DEMON would likely appear in the final volume, though DC Finest volumes aren't (necessarily) published in order, so it could potentially come out next. It looks as though it will come out at some point, though the DC Finest volumes are not released at any set frequency. 

Side note:  I noticed in Jack Kirby's DEMON #1, there are 25 story pages, which are numbered 1-10, then 10A, then 11-24.  Does anyone know the reason for this numbering?

Obviously I wasn’t there at the time, but my experience at DC suggests Kirby probably turned in 24 pages, and DC asked for one more. So he looked for a place he could insert a page. With his habit of beginning scenes at upper left and ending at lower right, that would have been fairly easy.
