Where is the book of Daniel covered??? In the hard copy it looks like Ezekiel and Daniel are in the same volume. I may be blind but I can not find Daniel in Logos.
The Daniel volume hasn't been published yet. The Ezekiel volume is written by Daniel Block.

Best Commentaries shows that R. Glenn Wooden will be the author of Daniel.
Block is the author of both Ezekiel volumes.

I had made a pause and Daniel....Block is the author.

Wooden has been assigned by Eerdmans as the contracted author for the Daniel volume(s) - however there is little beyond that. There is certainly no publication date - also no chatter from the author. He is clearly someone with some academic credentials, has published articles on the subject - even his doctoral thesis is on Daniel - being "The Book of Daniel and manticism: a critical assessment of the view that the Book of Daniel derives from a mantic tradition" at the St Andrew's University, Scotland.
I wouldn't hold your breath - the lead time on commentaries particularly at this level are notoriously long.
Shalom

I'd really like if Daniel's author's first name were Ezekiel...

Two reasons - in my view
Becoming ready to write a top line commentary is a lifetimes enterprise. Specifically the research needed is increasingly extensive and very very time consuming!
Next the investment mentioned above and in the financial and editorial side of the publication are enormous.
There may be other reasons, but just these make the business of commentary production a slow process.

I would love to see this. I looked in my library and there are not a few commentaries on Daniel but NICOT has been one of my preferred first open commentaries.

It looks as though it has had a change in authors, from R. Glenn Wooden to John Walton and Aubrey E. Buster.
Disclaimer: I hate using messaging, texting, and email for real communication. If anything that I type to you seems like anything other than humble and respectful, then I have not done a good job typing my thoughts.
Yes, and John Walton makes reference to this co-authored, forthcoming commentary on Daniel in his new book, The Lost World of the Prophets, in the section introducing the category of apocalyptic.
I appreciate some/many like completing sets. But a well regarded commentary at a similar level to the NICOT series is available:
I was just at one of Walton's lectures today on Daniel 5. He mentioned that he expects Daniel to be released sometime in the next two years (been writing it for 6 years).
All,
Was waiting for this too. However, I found an two alternatives (1) the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament. Conservative, Evangelical. (2) the ESV Expository commentary. Really helpful, the author diagrams each passage.
