I've heard good things about the documentary. Dune is my favorite book so I'm interested in seeing how his adaptation would have been.
Yeah I've never really read any of the Humanoids books, but have heard of the writers/artists on reputation alone. My buddy told me that other than The Incal, the Metabarons is another book worth checking out. Are there any other Humanoids books worth checking out?

Couldn't find it on the Previews website, so here's the page from the catalogue:
The 'Not available in the UK or India' just refers to the fact UK shops can't order Humanoids books through Diamond. Turnaround have the UK distribution licence; no idea re. India. Also, Castaka and Final Incal were delayed a few months in the UK, so it's possible we might not see these new printings until November... I do remember reading somewhere that they were working towards same-day UK/US releases, so fingers crossed.
No, Selfmadehero just printed that under licence from Humanoids. Celestial Bibendum was another, published under license by Knockabout. Since opening an office in London earlier this year, they're winding down the licensing as it now makes more sense to just release the US editions over here.
Here's an interesting article about the growth of Humanoids' English-language business: http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/b...e-u-s-u-k.html
If you have the money then worry about where to put them later. I assure you they're worth it. High-quality matte paper, beautiful art and since each book has only 50-60 pages, they're not heavy and actually comfortable to read - despite the size (they are lighter than aby Marvel Omnibus, I think).
So for completion sake, I would need to get Before Incal, The Incal collection in September and Final Incal since that would be separate?
I've always been interested on the Incal, but there doesn't seem to be a cheap way to get the collection? Do you guys think we'll see an Omni one day?
EDIT: No wait, there is now coming an Omni collection of it all? I'm confused!
There are 3 "core" series, Before, The Incal and Final Incal (Prequel, main series, sequel). That collection collects the 6 albums (European version of issues with more pages and generally bigger than American issues) that make up The Incal. So you might call it an omnbius but it's more of a deluxe as Before the Incal gets the same treatment.
