Excellent! I'd been wondering when this news was going to drop! Both Harbinger & XO have the Dlx vol2's announced so that leaves Archer&Armstrong's vol.2 left now it seems.
While not being a fan of Q&W would they essentially just collect the mini's into a vol.2 for them? Seems so.
What I'm really looking forward to come mid 2016 is that OHC Deluxe Rai vol.1 with Clayton Crain art! That book is going to be beautiful oversized!!
Not sure if there will ever be a UNITY OHC Deluxe vol.1 as 1/2 of that titles content will already be in XO vol.2 and Armor Hunters OHC Deluxe, kind of a shame in an OCD way.
The VALIANT hardcover library is growing and a good place for newly interested parties to get on board.

[QUOTE=JohnHorus;1121253]Man, I'd love to see some pictures of the Swords of Glass book! It looks gorgeous and I won't get mine until June! It's bigger than an OHC, isn't it? Thanks![/QUOTE]
Yep it's European album size, so that's a whopping 32cm, or DC Absolute size, but wider.
[QUOTE=Dorktron;1121264]I'd love to see more of it, too. From what I have seen, it is gorgeous. I really can't wait to get my hands on it.[/QUOTE]

Wow that looks amazing!!! Glad I preordered. Should be released next week in the US and through my online LCS.
EDIT:
Added the pictures to the front page. Also updated with more links to pictures placed in the past few weeks. Kalitarix' disclaimer had to go since space is running out on the first page of the thread.

Yeah, as you can see, especially the use of colour and lighting is impressive.
On a different note - two long-awaited books out this week: "Best of EC Artist's Edition Vol. 2" and "Sixth Gun Deluxe HC Vol. 2" (bet y'all forgot about the latter;)

Saw this in the Boom/Archaia solicits. I really liked the sound of it, especially after the publisher compared it to Blankets and I Kill Giants. Who doesn't love those eh? The first 22 pages are online, so take a look here: [url]http://cargocollective.com/wetblackghost/filter/Long-Walk-to-Valhalla/Long-Walk-to-Valhalla[/url]
[B]LONG WALK TO VALHALLA OGN HC[/B]
Retail Price: $24.99
Author: Adam Smith

Cover Artist: Matthew Fox
What’s To Love: At Archaia, we are constantly on the lookout for that next special story that moves us, so when Long Walk to Valhalla crossed our path, we knew we had something special. This stunning debut graphic novel from writer Adam Smith and artist Matthew Fox (UFOlogy) weaves a lyrical Southern fable exploring loss, family, and what it means to truly come home. Great for fans of Blankets, Fun Home, and I Kill Giants.
What It Is: There are many things that Rory would like to forget about his childhood growing up in rural Arkansas. Sometimes, he’d even like to forget about Joe, his mentally challenged older brother, both his closest friend and biggest problem. But when a young girl named Sylvia shows up, claiming to be a Valkyrie sent by the Norse god Odin to deliver Rory to Valhalla, he will have to face the past he’s tried to lock away.

[QUOTE=JohnHorus;1122561]Amazing! Thanks a lot! Does it come in a slipcase?[/QUOTE]
Nope.
As for the size of the book, just compare it to Sex Criminals and Thor in my pic on the page before. They are both OHCs and as you can see, SoG is considerably larger.

Then, most of the stuff Humanoids publishes, which is 10.8 inches tall, is scaled down? Or are some european albums 10.8 inches tall?

I thought european albums are always oversized compared to a standard american trade/hc. I would be interested behind the reasoning why this book is oversized but for example Millennium wasn't.

[QUOTE=Balakin;1122631]I thought european albums are always oversized compared to a standard american trade/hc. I would be interested behind the reasoning why this book is oversized but for example Millennium wasn't.[/QUOTE]
Yep scaled down, which is probably due to the cost of the book. Humanoids' strategy seems to be to release complete stories. Collecting 6 or 7 volumes in one book, would make the retail price quite high and fewer people would buy it if published at original size. At least that's my two cents ☺️
