Anybody know Dark Horse's plans regarding the Marvel Conan series? Are those softcovers the best we can hope for? I can't believe there isn't a market for an "archive" type of reprint.

Well They have been reprinting the Savage Sword of Conan for years, but yes one would hope they'd release an Omnibus format of them or something.

HC, 6'' x 9''
The Hero Book 2 continues David Rubín’s epic tale of Heracles in a postmodern look at the Twelve Labors and the champion’s fateful doom. The story delves deep into his life, revealing those who would wish him harm on his meteoric rise to stardom, his tumultuous love affairs, and his incredibly heroic feats. Rubín’s eclectic style will change the way you look at one of the most important Greek myths.
• A stunningly original take on the life of Heracles!
• From newcomer David Rubín (The Rise of Aurora West).
“Through gloriously rambunctious colors, Rubín pays tribute to the masters of the Silver Age of comics, from Jack Kirby to Gil Kane, and all the sense of fun, imagination, and action those artists were revered for.”—Publishers Weekly
“Welcome David Rubín to the table. He is a big talent and the real deal. The Hero is a strong statement of intent.”—Paul Pope (creator of Battling Boy)
“This book is awesome.”—Gabriel Bá (Daytripper, The Umbrella Academy)

• A wonderful companion to Dark Horse’s Sherlock Holmes collection!

There are two Barry Windsor-Smith HC archives, but the rest is softcover.

Any chance will we get a Library Edition for Umbrella Academy? I know that Daniel Way is going to write a third chapter for the series.

Be nice if we did, I really enjoyed the two trades I have read

Really? You mean Gerard Way? Would be nice, since the 2 limited slipcase editions are going for silly prices.

What the hell is wrong with me? Why have I written Daniel Way lol? Yes, Gerard Way of course. I've read that Gabriel Bà is going to start drawing next month.

How big are Dark Horse Omnibusses? I want the Fire & Stone Alien Omnibus, but I would like to know how the format is, is it like a Marvel or DC Omnibus?

No, not all. Those are 9 inch tall paperbacks instead of 11 inch hardcovers. If you're looking for something like Marvel/Dc omni's (or in this case, superior to Marvel/Dc omni's) check out the various library editions.

Surely Gameproff means 'Prometheus: The Complete Fire and Stone', which isn't labeled as an Omnibus and is actually a hardcover book.
