just ordered the Fire and Stone, knew nothing about it, is it an ongoing DH series or just a movie tie-in? (the fact it is library sized sold it)
if only they'd do the original Alien/Pred/Terminator even Robocop stuff in library sized books i would be most pleased, i did have all the stuff in those mini omni's DH put out but i hate the format so i sold them

It's for that reason I never bought them. Those digest size ominis are not something I was going to support.
Dark Horse missed out on so many sales to me due to that poor choice in their Digest Omnis. I'd have gotten so many Alien, Predator, Terminator, Indy, Ghost, X and others it's not funny.

Great series. I wonder if the prequel mini that was announced will be collected along with it. Probably not, but one can hope!
tell me more
as a side note, these library editions are quickly becoming my favourite format (although going against the grain with everyone I'm not a fan of the HB LE's, i hate the 'furry' finish)
