Hi all. I am in the UK and I recently started reading the Hell on Earth Omnibi and I noticed that vol. 3 is out of stock pretty much everywhere I look. What's the deal?
If the first Witchfinder omnibus is going to reprint the first 3 trades, do we have any predictions on what the inevitable second volume will have? Obviously it will have trades 4 & 5, and the uncollected short story. But what else? Is there another mini-series in the works?
What is the paper like in the omnibus edition paperbacks? Smooth and glossy or more like the Marvel Epic Collections?
This is cool. Hellboy collection.
So, any chances of a Hellboy library editions number 7? With Hellboy in Mexico and everything else we haven't gotten yet? I've been dying to get the Richard Corben story with Hellboy fighting the Universal monsters in Mexico in a library editions!
Also, I wonder if we'll ever get any omnibus for the miniseries like Frankenstein Underground. I've been refusing to buy the paperbacks, hoping everything will get the omnibus treatment one day. Same with Hellboy and the bprd!
Well, Witchfinder is on the way later this year, editor Katii O'Brien has confirmed tentative plans for Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. omnibuses, but you'll have a long wait for Lobster Johnson (they're waiting for that series to wrap up so they can collect the stories in a nice order). Katii's even mentioned plans for an omnibus collecting some of the one-shot series, though she didn't elaborate beyond that.
Unfortunately there's not enough material for a seventh Hellboy library edition yet. Maybe if we get two more OGNs (or maybe they could just do absolutely massive sketchbook sections). I really want to see the rest of Hellboy in Mexico, The Midnight Circus, Being Human, and Into the Silent Sea in that larger format.
Has there been any word on when the final BPRD omnibus will be released (for The Devil You Know)? I guess the trade didn't come out that long ago but I can't find any mention of plans for the hardcover.
Katii O'Brien mentioned it in a video interview a while back, but only in a vague "eventually we'll do it" kind of way. It is coming, but I wouldn't expect it until at least two years after the final trade came out.
