Or, in other words, when can we expect volume 26?

Probably in time for San Diego next year...

I am not sure if Stan was referring to the Dark Horse editions, or maybe one of the foreign editions, but he did make an enigmatic comment about plans for a second edition being added to the release schedule for either this or next year.

I need to go find the post so I can accurately quote the actual comment.....

just wanted to back you up on this one, steve...I too recall stan's statement and in my memory he was talking about a conversation he had with editor diana schutz about putting out two volumes a year again instead of the current rythm of releasing one...

This is the comment that I was trying to remember.....

The first time I had read this, I think I misunderstood the term "package" used by Google, thinking that it referred to "collected edition" instead of the French publisher Paquet. Reading Google translations is an iffy job. :D

We actually hope to publish 3 new collections in 2012 and 2013.

The explanation for why should be posted in a week or so.

Is that three volumes per year, or three volumes over a two year period?

Either way, it sure sounds like great news!

That's three volumes over a two year period.
