General omnibus & hardcover discussion vol. II

[awayne83]

I'm looking on IST and not seeing Colossal King Conan.
Diamond Comics had it and the Conan Omni TP vol.7 scheduled for release today.
The softcover TP vol.7 is there, but not Colossal King Conan.

Anyone aware of delays? This same thing happened with the prior release.

The last one was released on schedule, it was just gone super fast. Idk what's up with this one. CGN seems to have it in stock

I saw on the FB Omni/Collected editions group where Emily from IST Customer Service noted that their initial supply of Colossal King Conan went to pre-orders on DCBS and Tales of Wonder. However, they are expecting more in of which IST will get an allotment.
Stay tuned and alert.

Dark Horse has, it seems clearly under printed these books. They should've done a re-print of the original Colossal Conan as well.
I imagine the Marvel Omni's in Jan will sell really good also.
Conan hunger seems a very real thing right now.

They're small runs on purpose because Marvel got the rights to Conan back, so this is it from Dark Horse. They've already said in the past they're never reprinting Colossal Conan.

I don't understand how Marvel getting the rights back dictates Dark Horse has to have a small print run. I don't see a corollary there. Seems DH is holding itself back. I'm going to need to see a link to an interview with someone at DH explaining why they are leaving money on the table. Confusing.

I believe Marvel getting the rights back means they can print the same material that Dark Horse has in the Colossal Conan editions. So Dark Horse may not want to have material sitting unsold competing against Marvel selling the same stuff?
Marvel will be printing Conan Epic Collections printing the same material that was in the older Colossal Conan. Two are announced.
That being said, Dark Horse underestimated how well these would sell. I kept checking IST for the Colossal Conan and it never showed up.

They probably just don't want to have extra stock lying around while Marvel is reprinting Conan stories at the same time. They figured they'd just cut bait and shorten the runs to guarantee they sell out.

It's in stock here.

I'd forgotten a hardcover of Injection is coming out. I hate upgrading but I will do it for this series - probably the best Image ongoing of the past few years.

Is it that good? I preordered it as a blind buy.

Same here, although I am a big Ellis fan

It'll probably be gone very quickly.

The first few issues come off as a little weird and slow on initial read, but the second arc is a masterpiece and then going back and re-reading makes everything fall into place.

Thanks. I think it'll be ok

I've seen some people around here asking about Usagi Yojimbo Saga VOl. 8. Amazon has the paperback version being released May 21, 2019. So the Hardback edition should be not long after that.
