Just a quick question, forgive my lack of knowledge on this...

I've only just started collecting trade paperbacks in the last year or so and this will be the first major hardcover release that I've seen hit the shelves in that time (that I've been interested in). In what time frame will we typically see a softcover version or is this basically it? I do a lot of traveling and prefer the soft versions for the weight, but if it's a "not going to happen for 1-2 years" type of thing I won't wait.
