I heard that things get "fixed" when the HC's are published, colors, misspellings and such.
I don't have the HC's yet, so if anyone can recall the changes, I would be greatful, because I want to make a list. It's not like the main story changes along with a few details, but I think it's interesting to know the differences.
Btw, if you can remember any changes from season 8 to tpb's, or from single issues to omnibuses, tell me about that as well.

They changed the spelling of Wyndam-Price in AtF #1, and made Gunn's hoodie red, presumably so he stood out more from the rest of his gang (people had trouble recognising him in vamp face.) Also, when I was comparing the two, the colouring in the HC is stronger and orangey. I think they caught a few typos as well, like "non-corporal". In S8, they fixed the colour of Willow's eyes and hair in a couple of panels of #4, and added in some extra zombie dialogue in #3. Unfortunately, they didn't fix the Rowena/Leah dialogue mix up in "WatG".

It's fixed in the TPB edition I have... they changed "Leah to command" to "Rowena to command."

It's the same page where Willow says "Nothing makes sense tonight." Scottish people don't say "Yah". It's cool they fixed that other mistake though, I never noticed that.

It's cool they fixed that other mistake though, I never noticed that. Hm. I never even noticed the reversed-accent thing. Looking at it, I'd just assume Leah was saying "Yah" as a variant of "Yeah," and not as the German "ja." And the only thing unusual about Rowena's line is that she says 'em instead of them, but she does that later too ("Slayers...f*** 'em up!") If I was the editor I probably wouldn't bother changing it. A much more jarring thing is that Rowena has such a thick German accent in the beginning of TLWH, but afterwards her speech becomes much more normal. Did her English improve that quickly, or did they just decide it was too distracting to keep writing her dialog phonetically like that?

The change in accents did slighly bother me. Not nearly as much as changes in Fray's dialogue. I didn't feel for the character in "Time of Your Life" because it wasn't the Fray I got to know before.

I noticed in my AtF Volume 1 TPB that some dialogue from issue #4 is missing. when Gunn blows the Wolfram & Hart building up, my edition doesn't have him saying "Now that....almost made the whole damn thing worth it". Does anyone else have this? I can't decide whether or not it's a misprint or a cut. I've bought two First Night collections and both had spike, connor and lorne printed twice, the second time where wes and kate should've been, so at first i thought it was an error, but then i wondered why just two panels would be lacking in dialogue. x

Would you people suggest me getting the HC's as well??? At the moment I've only collected the single editions, painted covers.
Is it worth getting th HCs? With the changes? and for collectible purposes?
I don't have much money so I wouldn't start collecting it if I didn't think it would be worthwhile.

More than worthwhile. My room is made up of literally thousands of books, and the "After the Fall" hardcovers are easily the ones I'm most proud of.

And how do you mean, printed twice? And how could they cut that line out? I love that line. i love the title of this thread... karma. Thanks, that's sweet. ;D Would you people suggest me getting the HC's as well??? At the moment I've only collected the single editions, painted covers. Is it worth getting th HCs?

Well, how many times do you think you will read the comics? If you're like me, who will re-read After the fall about three times a year for several years and wear them out, then yes, getting the HCs would be good(I'll probably spill coke on them too). Come to think about it, it wouldn't surprise me if I one day needed a third set...

I love that line. x It was faulty copy, where wes and kate should have been included, they printed most of issue 1 again. I agree with you about cutting that line from gunn, I was shocked it wasnt included. I still think it might be a misprint, dont know why they'd want to let it go. Has anyone else noticed this in their AtF Volume 1 TPB's? I might sound stupid now but I'm wondering if it's because I live in the U.K.? Not that IDW are being prejudice against the english, i mean would they print copies over here and perhaps all UK copies are like that. x

I don't think the ones for different countries are printed at different places, so I doubt it's a UK thing.

The very first (limited, I think) run of hardcovers were missing that line. It was corrected for the rest of the run.

So first line of hardcovers(how many prints are there?) and the tpb?
I guess I'll buy the second print of the HCs.
EDIT- Btw, 34% of cover price on amazon.com
EDIT AGAIN- Okay, since the vol HC's second print comes out this week, I guess you meant the tbp Brian?

No, I'm pretty sure Brian meant it was an error that was corrected early on, not that it's corrected in the second print.
