Hellboy library editions please

[MapleMatt]

Hello, I'v seen both Hellboy movies and I'm wondering If Its worth it to purschase all volumes. Eventually,...If not, which of them are best buy. I'd like to know for example If I won't find all the movie stuff in first book or two. I'm talking about the library editions. So I'm here to ask Hellboy fans what Is worth to get, by the time If I'd like it I can eventually buy all thé stuff, but right now founds are limited, so I'm looking for 2 max 3 editions. Thank You in advance

The movies are very different than the comics. You'll only encounter small similarities between the two.

The first movie is based around stories mostly in the first library edition, but as states, there are significant differences. the first three library editions basically flow together as the first arc of the series. And they're fantastic collections

I wouldn't say that: the first movie has much of it's plot, visuals, and Hellboy one-liners taken from the comics. The second movie goes in it's own direction. I was a teen when the first movie came out, and it was really easy to go from the seeing the movie one weekend and buying the collections the next weekend.

Library Editions are the way to go. They're great collections.

It's been a while, but other than the origin, what from the comics is actually in the movie?

Ratsputin's use of Liz definitely had some parallels to Seed of Destruction, and the general thrust of the film loosely adapts the plot of SoD as well.

The corpse is obviously lifted from the comic - in fact, they rereleased that story as a special 25 cent issue to tie-in with the movie.

Yeah, buy it all. It's great.

If money is a factor, the omnibus editions will be coming out next year. They're chronological and a bit cheaper.

Just got wind of the omnibuses. Love the idea of them

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if the omnibus HB books will be published in color? Just asking as I have some omnibus editions of other books (Moon Knight, Punisher) and these were done in black & white.

Considering how prominently they mention Dave Stewart in the press release, I'd be extremely surprised if they weren't in colour.

I've read every press release I can find and if you read them closely you will see that Dave Stewart is mentioned only with regard to the new covers Mignola is producing for the omnibus editions. They say nothing that I've been able to discern about the actual interior art.
