Premiere Hc

[Evil-Spidey]

can someone tell me the diffrence between a PREMIERE HC und a normal hc?

[Beast]

The premiere HC line are standard comic sized pages, where as the regular HC feature oversized pages. Not to mention the premiere line only collects usually 6-7 issues, where as most of the OHC line at least contain 12 issues and usually more. Basically the PHC line is more expensive hardcover trade paperbacks. I'm not a fan of them myself. I'll stick with OHCs and regular TPBs. The PHC line is pointless.

[Evil-Spidey]

if they realese something as premiere hc first will they later still realese it as hc?

[The Foreigner]

if they realese something as premiere hc first will they later still realese it as hc?

As of yet, the only time this has happened is with Mark Millar's Wolverine: Enemy of the State storyline, in which the first six issues were released in Premiere hardcover, and then trade paperback; the next six issues were released as a seperate Premiere hardcover, and then a trade paperback, and finally the whole story (all 12 issues) were collected in one oversized hardcover.

We have yet to find out if this will happen with any other series.

so there won't be a usm vol.9 hc collecting the ultimate clone saga and the saga after it, just the premiere hc? that would suck.

I'm sure there will be a USM Vol. 9 HC. The Ultimate HC line has been a big seller for Marvel. They're probably just printing the USM Clone Saga in a Premiere HC first, because it's the major storyline that featured the breaking of the record of the most number of issues by the same creative team. :)
