I seem to recall someone mentioning the possibility of more substantial, bells and whistles attached, Season 8 collected's in the future. Who'd be interested, and what would you like to see included?

Buffy's action attire from the first issue. Willow in the first dress she's seen in, Xander in his ordinary attire, and shirtless Xander, Faith in her green dress, Buffy in her slutty nurse attire and of course naked Angel & Spike to complete the scene(okay, that just won't happen)

Henz is talking about like HC volumes of the series. Hehe. I would love some oversized HC's, preferably in cool library style binding (maybe like the newer Hellboy HC's). Maybe 15 issues per volume. Any extras like scripts, writer notes, Jeanty sketches, cover sketches, art galleries, credits in art form, stuff from Joss, would all be awesome. I am not buying the TPB's simply because I know better editions will be coming out one day. I can wait.

I'd love to have a deluxe collection! I would like all 40 in one, but that prabably wouldn't happen. Maybe the first 20? Then the other half of the season? Then there's on two books instead of 8(TPBs). Also, they NEED to be hardback! ;D

It sounds like there will be 42 issues of Season 8 when all is said and done, plus the MDHP stories will bring it closer to 42.5. I wouldn't want to see all 40+ issues in one volume, but I would be fine with 20 in the first (LWH, NFFY, WATG, TOYL) and then 22+MDHP in the second.

Didn't Scott Allie mention in one of the Q&As that they were trying to decide between four volumes of 10 issues, or two volumes of 20? Whatever they choose, I can't wait. Hoping for lots of special features, like the stuff Wyn mentioned. Getting sick of the single issues.

Man, that's embarassing.
I've been so focused on collectibles lately, so my mind immedatly went to deluxe figures.
And I would love deluxe comic collections. 3 vol for all issues would be good, with lots of extras, since I don't want to "hold down" the book to be able to read it, I want it to be flat enough.

I get TPB's but I will still get any hard covers if made, I would like them to be much bigger than the Angel comics, so I want only be about 3 HC's altogether with lots of extras on Season 8.

Yeah, I asked him that question three months ago, 'cause I'm a hardcover-fanatic and the waiting is killing me XD I'm not buying the trades neither, 'cause I know something really juice is coming Scott said that it will be 2 volumes with +- 20 issues each, or 4 volumes with +- 10 issues each. juicy

I'd be fine with 4 books of 10 as long as they could maintain a nice amount of delicious extras for each one.
I'd love a "season overview" and original pitch from Joss, and a written "commentary" from the writer of each arc also. Loads of art from Chen and Jeanty, including all of the bonus shorts. Maybe even the Tales of the Vampires & Willow 1-shot too even.

TotV and Willow one shots should definitely be collected in the deluxe editions. I think Scott said TotV wouldn't be collected in the next TPB because they want to keep the prices the same for each TPB, and it will already have the extra MDHP shorts adding extra pages. But they won't let that stop them from adding them to the deluxe editions, since they are all a part of Buffy Season 8.
I think we will either see: 4 HC's with ~10 issues each- - Issue 1-10 - Issue 11-20 - Issue 21-30 + TotV + 3 MDHP stories - Issue 31- 40 + Willow + Any extra MDHP stories or issues
Or
2 HC's with ~20 issues each- - Issue 1-20 - Issue 21-40 + TotV + 3 MDHP stories + Willow + Any extra MDHP stories or issues
I think I would prefer 2 HC's with ~20 issues each the most. It would be cheaper than 4 HC's of ~10 most likely.

Personally, I'd prefer one GIANT tome. Basically a S8 Omnibus, in the mode of how Grant Morrison's New X-Men was collected. A deluxe HC edition is not a copy to be carrying around in the first place, so I don't have a problem with bulk. It'll probably be the cheapest anyway, since you don't have to pay for binding for 2 or 4 books. As for extras... annotated scripts, the original pitch, perhaps some meeting notes would be nice. A collection of covers would definitely please many, and maybe some original character sketches from Jeanty; stuff that isn't already included in his Sketchbooks, that is.

I would love a deluxe edition, but it would have to be something special - I've got all the TPBs, and wouldn't want a bumper omnibus that had nothing but a swanky cover extra. Two or four HC volumes sound good, I actually think either have it all in one or do four separate, cause two just seems a little less impacty... I dunno, just my personal opinion. I would love them to be FULL of extras: including a few script notes, a season overview, and also I'd quite like a list of points in each issue where Joss left his little clues to the end of Season revelations (so e.g. annotation for Anywhere But Here). That would be awesome! Oh and bucket loads of Jo Chen art cause she makes my heart skip a beat every month Imagining Jo's potential deluxe edition covers now.... *dies of happiness*

Do you think Dark Horse would be against putting something like Antique into a season 8 collection? Isn't that pretty much canon now?

Scott confirmed to me in e-mail that it will be something special, just like Hellboy Library Editions (which won this years Eisner Awards for best republication collection and best collection design). can't wait can't wait can't waitt to see the extrasss!

I love how the Hellboy Library Editions look. I'd die from excitement if something similar is done with the Season 8 Deluxe Editions.

Honestly, I probably won't buy them if they're only going to have some bonus sketches and a cover gallery. Ya know?
If it's just those, I could just look at it in a bookstore. : \
So, if they don't skimp out, I'm in. Otherwise...eh.
