2010.... the year of six trades?

[mentok27]

so with Hellboy 9 out in march and Witchfinder in april 2010 is already tied with 09 for trade releases.... but its safe to assume we'll get BPRD 1947 in may-ish and hopefully king of fear trade in November as well if the current bprd shedule goes unchanged. So thats a pretty safe 4.

BPRD, war on frogs will have to be traded at some point so thats 5.......... then theres the matter of the uncollected hellboys... Crooked man, Chapel of Moloch... bride of hell and all the other randoms that have been released over the last few years, which would fill a Hellboy 10 ??????? and other stories volume. 2 hellboy trades in a single year is quite a treat but theres so much uncollected stuff laying about how can it not happen? so yes my hopes are set at 6 trades.

Well - I sure hope you are right! As a collector of the trades I have been starving this year. But when you list the trades like that your release chedule looks to good to be true, could we really be that lucky? A Hellboy Collection?! I whish it to be true. But even if we 'only' get four titles in 2010 it will be a better year then 09 from a TPB point of view. I am especially looking forward to The Wild Hunt and 1947 !

I have not kept as updated in recent years.
Is any of that completely by Mignola?

In one of Grey's first cases as an agent of the queen, he goes from the sparkling echelons of Victorian London to its dark underbelly, facing occult conspiracies, a rampaging monster, and the city's most infamous secret society: The Heliopic Brotherhood of Ra.

* Collects Witchfinder: In the Service of Angels #1-#5.

"All in all, this is a detective story that blends just the right amount of cerebral investigation with Mignola's trademark horror and adventure. And perhaps best of all, the story stands on its own very well, regardless of your past experience with Hellboy or B.P.R.D.. . " -IGN.com
