Upcoming IDW (& Random) Collected Editions
Light and campy with well integrated team dynamics. The story is arc like and well developed. It's good but not great the art is always pretty solid
Mod
I am actually fairly excited about this. It contains 24 issues and picks up where the original story left off. I admired the covers of some of these as the issues were coming out.
Mod
There is a double oversized Kirby FF Artist Edition out next month that I need in my life but can't find the price, anyone know where to find that?

Isn't the Providence Complete Slipcase Set from Avatar / Alan Moore something which should be on the list?https://www.comcav.net/collections/pr...
how long before you think we will see a back to the future OHC
Mod
For ongoing series from the big two usually it's after three to four TPB volumes come out that we see an OHC. I haven't been tracking the Back the Future stuff so I'm not sure where that is at in published content. The other thing that impacts the answer to this question is how well the series has sold. If its a low seller often we won't see a hardcover because they don't think they will make much money.
The Rocketeer HC from IDW that recently came out had a long gap between the content being published and the OHC.
I read the first trade of BTTF. Eh. It tries really hard to capture the same magic of the movies but doesn't quite. If you like it then great. Not sure if that could be a determining factor for OHC.

Mod
It is but I haven't always regularly included Boom solicit info. I've mainly focused on IDW and Fantagraphics with a smattering of other things as I see them. I did look thru the last set of solicitations the last time Boom released them.

Mod
I did see the Iredeemable OHC vol 5 comes out in March. :) Not sure if this is the last volume or if there will be one more.
There are some who love Letter 44. I thought it was just decent. Worth a read but not a buy. So far.

Ooo Tank Girl. That’s one character lacking decent hardcovers.

Just looking over my collection and realizing I don't have much from Oni Press other than Sixth Gun, Scott Pilgrim and a few thinks from Kyle Starks like Sexcastle and Kill them All. Any hidden gems I'm missing?

Anyone here have any nice words to say about the various Steve Ditko art books?The two that caught my attention are the "Art of Steve Ditko", and the "Ditko Unleashed HC"
Both seem cool, but I was wondering if anyone owned one of these and could maybe tip the scales towards one or the other?
Hey Rel, You mentioned you were getting The GI JOE hc COLLECTIONS by IDW that reprints the original Marvel run. How are those books? Do they contain backmatter and letterspages? Are they still releasing them?
Also does anyone own an Artist Select edition by IDW, they have a Madman one coming out as well having already released a George Perez Avengers Artist Select Edition? Does anyone own the George Perez one?
Mod

The books are very nice. They are oversize and each one contains an introduction with back stories of what was going when issues were printed and some of the work between Hasboro and the author Larry Hama. They also contain scattered Ops Brief pages which point out different facts about people, places, or items that appear in different issues. The Special Missions and Yearbook issues are interspersed in the correct places. There are eight volumes covering through issue 76 and Special Mission issues through issue 13. I do not believe these include the letters pages. Here is a link to volume 1: https://www.amazon.com/G-I-Joe-Comple...
IDW also has their reboot series collected in similar size books with The IDW Collection in the title. Vol 1: https://www.amazon.com/G-I-Joe-IDW-Co...
Mod
I have the Perez one. Beautiful book but pricey. I excused it because it is signed and the price of going to a comicon and getting an autograph would cost me more than the book. The New Mutants volume sold out nearly instantly. There is also a Hulk volume by Sal Buscema IIRC.
Mod
There are also rumors of:
Sienkiewicz Moon Knight
Layton Iron Man
Byrne Fantastic Four
If Moon Knight is his whole run I'd be interested in it.

Bill Sienkiewicz’s Mutants and Moon Knights Artifact Edition - containing art from Moon Knight, New Mutants, and Elektra: Assassin. Set for release by IDW for August. Cover art here: https://13thdimension.com/exclusive-s...
Good to hear about the Sienkiewicz Artifact Edition. It would be nice to see his art change from his beautiful, Neal Adams influenced, Moon Knight wort, to the equally beautiful but completely different New Mutants style, to his even more experimental Elektra style. It is a definite maybe for me.And yep Blindzider, Doug Moench and Bill Sienkiewicz did the definitive Moonknight run. Personally my favorite run by far.
Moench the creator of Moon Knight and Sienkiewicz with their 80s Moonknight run helped create the boom for direct sales/comic stores. Their mature run was sold exclusively in the new direct market comic stores and by mailorder. Over 3 decades later and those first 24 issues or so, are comics at its finest. Only thing that comes close to it is the recent Ellis/Lemire run, and even those kinda miss the point, by focusing on Moon Knight being crazy.
Moon Knight was never intended to be a multiple personality or crazy, just complex. He used multiple identities as Holmes and the Shadow did, as a means to an end, But he was always in control of the various masks he wore. I'd highlly recommend picking up both of the Moonknight Epic volumes if you've never tried it.
Thanks Rel,Definitely would like those GI Joe collected editions. they sound great. I like the fact they are curated. But at $40 a pop they are steep. Another definite maybe.

6 Jun 18 - InseXts HC Year One
Description: Collecting the complete INSEXTS series in one collection!
At the dusk of a century, a pair of vengeful Victorian vixens discover a horrifying power that transforms them into rich and strange new creatures. Armed with their dark, evolving forms, they descend into a world of the cultured and occult, with new senses and new sensuality, to forge a life for themselves and the child of their love. This new monthly series is the brainchild of writer Marguerite Bennett (ANIMOSITY, Bombshells and Batwoman) and artist Ariela Kristantina (Wolverines, Deep State), a comic unlike any you've seen before!
"This is a series that knows what it's about and revels in it, and I just can't resist!" - Marykate Jasper of Comic Book Resources
In Shops: Jun 06, 2018
SRP: $44.99
Based on the price point I lean towards this being a larger book but I don't see anything with page numbers or size anywhere.

The books are beautiful oversized with Ribon boo..."I think at least one of the first three volumes was reprinted not too long ago, which might inspire some hope that they haven't completely given up on the format. I've just seen that Hulu has decided not to take on the TV adaptation following their big shakeup; hopefully, another service will buy in and it'll actually see the light of day this time. Maybe then we'd see the second batch of second editions, or if not those, then maybe an omnibus.
