The cover for Vol 4 is absolutely stunningly beautiful.

That Zonjić cover is stellar!
this will be the first time I may pick up the non-variant cover of a Year of Monsters issue in addition to the Mignola cover - as I never cared for any of the others. But this one... wowza!

**Middenway** · 06-11-2012, 06:25 PM

Yeah, I love Tonči Zonjić's work. I still can't believe he's working on Lobster Johnson. It's such a great marriage of artist to the material. I knew that he was probably going to come back for the next big miniseries after The Burning Hand, but I wasn't expecting him to be doing anything other than covers for the short stories in the meantime. And yeah, that cover totally rocks.

November 7? I guess you guys on the states will get it earlier... Amazon.uk lists it for December :-/
(otoh they've been off by a week or 2 before, never a month though)

**Middenway** · 06-15-2012, 04:54 AM

Amazon always gets the dates wrong for Mignola books. They always come out the same day as America in Australia, so it'll definitely be out in the UK same day. I've seen Amazon.uk list the Mignola books off by as much as three weeks in the past, but a whole month... that's a new record for them.

**JonNik** · 06-15-2012, 05:55 AM

Hmm, I was on the fence about including all the 6 B.R.P.D TPBs (the other three being the Hell on earth 1-3) I am missing, in a big order I'll be putting around early August... (December seemed too far away) I am tempted to wait for November now. I do like those HCs quite a bit...

**Middenway** · 06-15-2012, 04:36 PM

Wait. It'll be worth it.

**JonNik** · 06-16-2012, 12:45 AM

Yeah, you are right. The extras, the feel of the book and that nifty cover alone are incentive enough, not to mention the great price ;)
November it is...

I can't seem to find the image file, but you can view the cover for B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth - Volume 4: The Long Death & The Devil's Engine here. Yes, the title really is that long.
