What exactly is a 'signing plate'?

The hardcover one page picture that normally featured something offensive like Rapture giving a crucified Dragon a blowjob.

Should those really be reprinted? Might as well leave SOMETHING for people to collect the old HCs for.

It is kind of shitty to have exclusive pages like that be collected elsewhere.

Here we go! There's a bunch of wiggle room for extras to be thrown in like sketches, selected spin-off material, and anything else I've missed out, etc. The page counts are somewhat consistent although the later collections would possibly be a little bit smaller. They'd still be similar to what came before and match up to similar sized collections for Invincible.

Very sweet! But...

...I'll confess to not liking the expanded version of the mini-series as much as the original 3-isssue presentation. I liked the concise pacing of the 3-issue series and when I got a trade paperback recently which contained the expanded version, I found it somewhat jarring in places. Was, for example, seeing a full-page spread of Dragon finding Debbie Harris crying in the hallway of their apartment building as jarring as, say, one of the pure CGI sequences George Lucas shoehorned into the original Star Wars? No... but it didn't seem as smooth to me. Still awesome, just not quite as awesome. Does that make sense?

It does--but what should I do? Do I stick that stuff in the back of the book as random back matter? That seems weird too. Do I stuff pages between issues? Again--seems weird. Do I skip all this stuff? I don't think that works either. Then there are pages added to the second book--Dragon meeting Rapture and putting the WildStar pages in place--what happens there?

The fact of the matter is--there are 640,000 copies of Savage Dragon #1 floating around out there. If you want to read it as it was originally presented--you can easily do that. These collections can't--and won't--recreate your original reading experience. The solutions to cliffhangers are a page turn away and things can't help but be different because of the format. So, in a way, I don't really feel obliged to adhere to what I did previously. This is a different thing. It's not the original comics. And there's good and bad that goes along with that.

In answer to the part I bolded, I think you should do what you want to, Erik. Just 'cause little ol' me likes the original 3 issue presentation better doesn't mean you have to do anything one way or another, in my view. Even if I was in the vast majority on this, which I'm most likely not.

Now... 640,000 copies of SD #1? Is that how many sold? I was under the impression that there was at least a million out there.

Nope. Image books bounced up and down. Stores would over-order one book and then get stuck with copies and then adjust and under-order the next book and sell out and panic and over-order the one after that and get stuck again. Savage Dragon was an under-ordered book at the time (even though it sold six-sevel times higher than best sellers now).

Not that I'm complaining.

Keeping a signature of 16 pages in mind This is what I figured. Need to double check my math but it might be able to get all the pre Savage World stuff in 6 volumes. I didn't bother with stuff like the God is Good variant or the recolored 51 cover. Pinups can be put in almost any volume and I feel like the Archives books would only appeal to a small amount of people (I can't justify spending 40-80 something pages devoted to that stuff).

ULTIMATE COLLECTION – v2 (368 Pages) (340 Story pages + 19 covers)

#8 – 25 (1 cover, 24 pages)

POSSESSED COVER – 2 pages
REVENGE – 1 page
#20 – 23 (1 cover, 22 pages)
#21 – 23 (1 cover, 22 pages)

This would be ideal. A sketchbook section would probably be sacrificed or limited but it would cover the Overlord storyline nicely (the Fallen Covers can be moved to volume 1 if necessary).

A TALK WITH GOD COVER – 1 cover

Let's all agree the second Talk with God cover sucks ass. Let's just keep the good one in. This one can be shorter or extra space can be allotted to the 25 backup. Which I rather like but it's not necessary. Unlike Gavin I left out the pinups and minor variants (

ULTIMATE COLLECTION – v4 (352) (316+18 covers)

Sex and Violence Opener Redrawn (5 pages)

#46 – 21 (1 cover, 20 pages)
#47 - 21 (1 cover, 20 pages)
TERMINATED COVER – 1 page
WORLDS AT WAR COVER – 1 page

You just got to start with the opener from Sex and Violence. There's no guarantee that 132 will make it into a hardcover. 47 works fine as an ending but I really just like seeing the end of 46 and the start of 47 together.

Pretty much giving up on a sketchbook section but by then there wasn't a lot of stuff.

#73 – 23 (1 cover, 22 pages)
#74 – 23 (1 cover, 22 pages)
#75 – 31 (1 cover, 30 pages)

This one is short but I think could end up being the average length for the later books. Also leaves room sketches and pinups missed in the early books.

I'll do Savage World stuff later.

You missed #63 but that can fit in your last collection. It'd be weird starting with that book though as that ends the second OverLord arc.

I like the idea of keeping the volume numbers lower. That way you could put out 2 a year and be done in 3 years.

Here's another attempt by me:

SAVAGE DRAGON TP COVER – 2 pages (front and back cover)
BAPTISM OF FIRE COVER – 1 page

I meant to have 63 at the end of volume 3 with the first two pages of 64. And we both forgot about the unused Last Rites cover!
