Upcoming IDW (& Random) Collected Editions
I follow a few of these collections. I'm excited to see vol 6 of the collected IDW GI Joe run. There was speculation that volume 5 could be the last one as it ended a story arc in the fifth volume that could have been a stopping point.
I'll be picking up the Locke and Key Master Editions.
I'm a little bit interested hearing that Hickman might be writing some Transformer stuff. But I know nothing about the books out there other than the oversize HCs look really sharp.

Yeah, I thought about buying Locke and Key and Sweet Tooth as gifts for a friend but with only the first books available I decided to put it off till next year.

Cool. I added it along with some additional books in the April solicits.

Me too. Waiting for a new release date for volume 2. Looks like the end of the month somewhere but not if next week or the last week of the month (Amazon has it listed for release on 5 April, IST is usually the week before).

Nothing that I can tell. Just a different word. They are the same oversize height *about 11 inches).

I've expanded this topic to include a few other random publishers (Top Shelf and Boom Studios) with series I am interested in.

17 May - Irredeemable Premier Edition vol 2

Not sure Underwater Welder (232 pages) will be oversize, it looks like Amazon has it listed as standard size but I've heard good things and will probably try to pick up a copy.

Perhaps that is in the future somewhere. :) I think they did a Star Trek and Green Lantern crossover series. I really would have loved to pick that up in HC but it looks like it will be TPB only. :(

I think it's basically a revised version of "The Art of Michael Wm. Kaluta" from 2008, which came out through Desperado Publishing, who are involved with the new one as well.

It sold out pretty fast, and I was looking for a copy for years, but the copies that did turn up, the prices were ridiculous.
Amazon has the release date as July 12, but I'm getting skeptical, since it's a year and a half past it's original date, pushed back 4 or 5 times. Now the OHC sketchbook collection is getting released ahead of it... maybe it's cursed.

I just did this research so I have some ideas: The series has a finite number of issues at 37. The first Premier is 8 issues and you can calculate from there. However, his other series Incorruptable comes out of Irredeemable and crossover in at least one point I think. That series has 30 issues.
I'm guessing they will publish them separately 4 or 5 volumes for Irredeemable and 3 or 4 for Incorruptable, but there's always they chance they combine them in a couple volumes.
Wait and see unfortunately.

IDW has a new solicit for the next in the Artist Select series. This time it is Bill Sienkiewicz’s work on 'New Mutants' with Chris Claremont and covers New Mutants from issues #18 to #31, along with a New Mutants story from 2003's "X-Men Unlimited" #43.

IST has the James Bond HC from Ellis coming out on 6-15. Not sure if it is oversized or how many issues it contains. There have been only 6 released that I know of so I bet it is standard size.
Hmmm. Amazon has Irredeemable Premier Vol 2 up for sale, but IST doesn't seem to have it at all. If it doesn't show up on IST tomorrow I may need to go ahead and buy it on Amazon...

It's scheduled to release next week (June 8th), so it's not available on IST yet, but should be next Tuesday. You can see it in their "coming soon" section. It's not released on Amazon yet either, just available for pre-order.
Ah man. I was ready to read that and pick up some other miscellaneous books. I guess I can wait...

Me too. Looking forward to reading vol 2 since I've been waiting several years to continue the story and never did pick up the TPBs. Lantern City is going to be one I follow now too.

I think they are typically synonyms.

Added. Thanks!

If my guesses and conjectures are correct then, we should get a TPB #9 by
My only doubt is, what happens to the spinoffs that originated from sixth gun! Are they collected in any of the previous OHCs? Since there are 16 issues of spinoff material available, may be a companion OHC!
Your theory sounds correct. I wasnt aware of the spin-off stuff so maybe there will be another volume. I just got V1 yesterday and I'm eager to start it.

Is there any more info available regarding From Hell? Like is it an OHC? Or an Artist edition? I am very much interested in reading it.

I saw it was by Moore and I know I've heard people mention it before. The story is about 11 murders ostensibly by Jack the Ripper. Other than listing it as an HC there was no other info I can promise is right. Amazon lists this as being 560 pages and standard hardcover size. That could be correct.

I have the original hardcover and can vouch for the page count. Not sure what the new dimensions will be though.
I also just noticed (and added) Jerusalem, also by Moore with a Sept release date. It lists it as a 1200 page novel so it may not be illustrated?
