Without a doubt one of the best Johnson covers in years!

Ahhhh, trade waiting really sucks sometimes doesn't it? I like the presentation of it better, being able to read the whole thing at once, and set it on the bookself and whatever. Sometimes I just wish they could swing it so the trades came out a month or two after he series ends though. I know there's probably logistics, and having it trail a bit probably encourages sales of the floppys, but its still my prefered way of reading them.

Indeed, and it would also be the cost and hassle for me (no decent comicbook store anywhere near me). But being able to read the whole thing at once is indeed the main thing here. I am used to books mostly for the last few years (recently reintroduced to the world of comics). Monthly installments don't really work for me anymore I am afraid...

Some series come really, really quick to trades (Morning Glories vol 3 came out a few weeks after issue 19 (the last issue it contained) and a week or so before issue 20 (the first issue after the trade)) so it depends more on the publisher than anything else.

Dark Horse are just kinda weird. Sometimes it's quick, other times you're waiting almost a year.

I don't know why it takes the Mignolaverse books six months to go to the trade, but the quality of the trades is so high, I wouldn't want to see that sacrificed just to get the books out sooner.

Ahh I'm a little apprehensive that this being the last of the 'secret origins' trilogy means no more '1940's' stories. I was hoping they'd keep up this series till at least 1952 where Hellboy becomes a full time BPRD agent.

But 1952 isn't in the 1940s ;)
