General omnibus & hardcover discussion vol. II

[Mr`Orange]

Tell me about it. As soon as I open the book, there's a centrefold spread on the inside of the dust cover. Yeah. The wife won't be impressed with this one haha. It's fun though. Definitely too pervy though.

I've read SI before and I agree it's great. I was just surprised at the paper stock and how light it was. Got to get rid of my TP now.

Ah I thought you meant page count not quality of paper! I was tempted to upgrade my trade but I think I'll leave it now.

[Mr`Orange]

HM, I might need to start reading manga

There is some fantastic manga and anime out there but this was pretty much ruined by the perviness.

Dark Horse just announced the first hardcover in the Moebius Library:



Moebius Library: The World of Edena Volume 1

On sale: 10/26/2016

The long out-of-print Edena Cycle from Moebius gets a deluxe hardcover treatment! Moebius’s World of Edena story arc is comprised of five chapters—Upon a Star, Gardens of Edena, The Goddess, Stel, and Sra—which are all collected here.

[Dark-Flux]

Nice. I havnt read nearly enough Moebius material. Gotta remedy that.

[lvizzz]

Gimme, gimme, gimme, love Moebious' art.

Would that be color or b&w?

[Batarang]

Great news i will definitely get these moebius books.

[Balakin]

I'm intrigued but curious about size, page count and price.

Gimme, gimme, gimme, love Moebious' art.

All of the Edena stories are in color, I doubt Dark Horse would change that.
There's actually six books in the Edena series, the five mentioned here and one containing some shorter stories. I'm assuming they'll collect those as well in the same manner as the recent French version of this collection.

Excellent news about Moebius' Edena. Love the cover!!

It'll be a pretty hefty tome if all volumes (including the sixth) are included. Hopefully in at least the same size as the Manara library.

There's a precedent for that: the latest "Edena Integral" (complete collection) by French publisher Casterman is 408 pages at 35.3 x 22.6cm (about 14x9 inches - as a reference: that is more than one inch taller than a DC Absolute). I was actually thinking about getting it, but I have most of the volumes in single HCs already.

I just have the first volume in German Haven't gotten round to getting the other volumes. Might wait for this esp. if those might be the dimensions!

Particularly in editions that do his artwork justice.

Speaking of which, I ordered the French oversized b&w edition of his XIII album earlier today. It's about 16-17 inches tall and cost only €17 on Amazon.de. Bit of a no-brainer for me.

[aaltomuoto]

Did you get the two blueberry ones as well? Those are definitely worth getting if you haven't picked them up already.

[MartinNL]

You speaking of those softcover Mister Blueberry's Aaltomuoto? If you're up for a challenge LJ then know that those will be published in Dutch in hardcover at the same dimensions
