Moonstone Forums

I wonder; in the future, are Moonstone intending to release trade paperbacks collecting issues of the Phantom regular series more frequently (at least twice a year would be great)?

I am asking because I just realized how much money you will "take" from me when Mike's run starts, and the Phantom will come out on a monthly (or so) basis. I doubt anybody who hasn't tried it can imagine how ridicilously expensive it is to order a book from the US to Scandinavia, so needless to say, I would save a lot of money if there was a way getting Bullock's stories in this kind of publication.

Off course, I am going to buy Phantom #12 and 13, but after that... I'm not sure if I will be able to keep up with your Phantom books now that they will be published so often.

Um, could anyone answer this question please? I would really like to hear an answer, because it is a question I have been pondering for some time...

Well Walker, yes we do intend to keep publishing trade paperback collections.:mrgreen: We can't say for sure how often, but they will all be collected at some point. It will depend on when a given storyline goes out of print. It's all about demand, if you get my drift. My best guess, is a few months AFTER Mike's first story arc is over, we will most likely offer a collected edition. Now, keep in mind it may be about 6 months AFTER the storyarc is over. UNLESS Mike's first storyarc sells out IMMEDIATELY, then of course we publish a collection as soon as possible. When we have more concrete information, we will gladly share it. Wish I could offer a better schedule, but just know that we do intend to collect all the Phantom issues at some point, especially the on-going series.

Moonstone Gal out for now...

Thanks for the reply. I am glad to hear that they will be collected at some point.

I am still not sure whether I will be able to afford all of Mike's issues, so paperbacks would have been wonderful. Ordering three issues of the regular Phantom series from the US tend to cost me more than three DVDs.
I guess it all depends on how successfull Mike's run will be; if his stories continue to be published for years and years, there's no way I can buy every issue (that doesn't mean I do not hope that the book will do extremely well, mind!   )
