General omnibus & hardcover discussion vol. II

[Hellboydce]

Really? Source?

One of the regulars on the Mignola/Hellboy forum on this very site, but he doesn't state a source.

[RIPLynott]

Read the description. It collects trades 3, 4, and 5, which was the ongoing. Trades 1 and 2 were collections prior to the ongoing. That's what I mean by the first couple not being collected in hardcover

Ahh I see, well thats unfortunate. Are those stories needed for the reading order to make sense, or are they kind of like how hellboy has these little aside stories? Have not read a single abe story because I was waiting for a hc (must be almost 10 years now lol)

Each tale is one image and one piece of text; an unsuspecting victim with someone, or something, behind them. Entries range from the amusingly weird to the genuinely unsettling. Inspired by spooky films, books, myths, and Internet tall tales, Behind You is full of scary set-ups but leaves lots of blanks for the reader to fill in with their own narrative.

Ahh I see, well thats unfortunate. Are those stories needed for the reading order to make sense, or are they kind of like how hellboy has these little aside stories? Have not read a single abe story because I was waiting for a hc (must be almost 10 years now lol)

The first TPB is a 5 story arc about Abe during his first solo adventure at the 80s... TPB 2 and the TPB 9 contains short stories and flashbacks! The first volume is interesting to read and has consequences at future Abe adventures, but the other two are just fun. The plot from the ongoing series need more knowledge about the beginning from Hell on Earth than Abe early stories... since they're publishing the new BPRD hardcovers and both comics happen at the same time and have some common ground, IMO it's ok to publish the other stories later.

As I had stopped reading the bprd trades before hell on earth, this explains why I had no idea what was going on in the first couple of abe trades, so will reading vol 1 of hell on earth explain why abe is on his own?

[evilomar]

When are we going to get those Corto Hardcovers that IDW promised us when the series was first announced?

[Balakin]

When are we going to get those Corto Hardcovers that IDW promised us when the series was first announced?

didn't they say after the whole series is done is paperbacks? And won't it only be a limited run? So prepare to pay a stupid amount for it since it's IDW where everything is overpriced and they can't even be bothered to shrinkwrap the books.
That said the Corto paperbacks are higher quality then most Marvel and DC hardcovers. If you have a chance try to check them out in an LCS.

[TomSlick]

OK, so what exactly are we getting Hellboy and Hellboy related that are thick hardcovers? I know there is a library edition. Is there also another BPRD and an Abe book as well?

There are other thinner hardcovers, too, right? or are they all the thicker ones?
