This thread is here to answer whatever questions you may have about the Library Editions or the Omnibus Editions. If you're going to ask a question, please read through previous posts just in case it's already been posted and answered. Here's a few of the usual ones for now.
What do the Library Editions contain?
You can find that information on the
Hellboy Wiki. And here's a link for the contents of the
Omnibus Editions.
When's the next Library Edition coming out?
No idea. Mike Mignola has indicated all the
Hellboy in Hell stories will be collected together, so none of those stories will be in a library edition until the second
Hellboy in Hell trade has been out for at least a year.
As for any other
Hellboy material going library editions... no idea. We'll have to wait and see.
Will B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth be collected in omnibus editions?
Yes, it will. However, it won't happen until
Hell on Earth has completely finished, so don't expect any until late 2016 at the very earliest.
What about B.P.R.D. 1946-1948?
Haven't you heard?
It's already in an omnibus collection!
What about the rest of the Hellboy Universe? Will those trades get collected in hardcover formats too?
Mike Mignola and Scott Allie have discussed one day having everything collected in hardcovers, but these discussions are very tentative at best. For now, the answer is... maybe someday. (Some sooner than others...)
A Library Edition is out of print...
Don't worry, Dark Horse tries to keep these volumes in print, so if you wait it'll return to print again.
An Omnibus Edition hardcover is out of print...
Sadly there are no plans to reprint these. For now, once the hardcovers go out of print, the reprints will be paperbacks.
