Does Fell TPB = Fell Monthly?

[BenReilly]

Hey fellow 'Fell' fans! I had a thought... Fell #7 just came out and a few days later at Imagecomics.com they had announced that the first 'Fell' TPB will be released in April, reprinting issues 1-8. That leaves them only one month for Fell #8 to come out, which by experience with this comic seems impossible. Also, Ellis' 'Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E.' is ending with this upcoming issue, so that should give him more time each month for our favorite detective. Fell in Feb, Fell possibly in March, TPB in April... Do I sense a monthly??? Anyone have any 411?

Issue #8 and the trade could both release in April, I've come across a couple of Marvel trades that do the last issue/TPB release like that.

Ben is ridiculously hard at work on finishing #8 as we speek. He's even on the 'No-Doze'. I believe the entire script is done (as Ben often get's it in pieces) so, it shouldn't be much longer. A few days from what I understand.

I imagine there is a few weeks turn around from the printers. It is entirely possible that #8 could be out in about a month.

Also, the trade might be delayed. Image solicits have been off the mark before.

Or they could ship at the same time. Only time will tell.

Now I have NO CLUE what's going on! Image is still marketing their Fell TPB that comes out in April as reprints of 1-8, but at the same time their site says that issue #8 will be in stores Sept. 27?! Maybe someone at Image F***ED UP severly and the TPB only reprints issues 1-7...

No. It's 1-8. Ben either just finished #8 or will shortly.

Now, #8 will come out as a normal issue. And the trade will contain all 8 issues. It is possible that the trade will come out later than April. OR, just very shortly after, or almost at the same time as the single issue of #8.

Hell, I've seen the trade of 1-6 ship the same week as #7 on other books.
