Likelihood of Wrath getting a deluxe version?

Post by pixiezilla »

All of my issues of Wrath of the Eternal Warrior are on comixology as I only started reading it halfway through the run, so the plan is to buy the trades to add to my rapidly-increasing Valiant book collection :) 14 issues would make a lovely sized Deluxe edition... I've been searching online & on Amazon but couldn't find mention if Wrath is getting the deluxe treatment so I thought I'd ask here if anyone knows or has heard anything? Thanks!

It'll happen just not anytime soon.

The Deadshot Reborn Deluxe came out on December 13th, the final issue (#13) was on May 25th.

I would expect at least a similar six-month turn-around, if not longer.

On the other hand, still no Imperium Deluxe Edition in the works from what I can see, and the final issue came out that same month. Then again, Imperium is the most anticipated for me, at least, so perhaps I'm impatient.

I think its gonna happen, same thing with Imperium.

I would still prefer to have the older issues of the eternal warrior in a deluxe first, lets hope they do it, after they release the second shadowman one ( Yes, i also want this one)

Deadshot! Nice one! :P

The final TPB, "A Deal With A Devil," is solicited for a March-15 release. Then it'll take some time before they'll release the hardcover. I wouldn't expect it before June/July.

Not to be a buzzkill or anything, but don't hold your breath waiting for a Wrath Deluxe. So far, VEI has cancelled 5 series early: Shadowman, EW Vol. 1, Imperium, Wrath of the EW and Gen Zero. With the exception of Shadowman Vol. 1, none of these series has ever been put out in hardcover trade, and outside of Shadowman Vol. 2, which has never been released, none of these have ever been solicited. Dinesh has even gone on record as saying there will be no Imperium Deluxe (you can do a search, the tweet was posted here at some point.)

VEI's system for Deluxe appears to be ongoings, scheduled short series (i.e. Q&W, Ivar), events and popular minis (i.e. The Valiant, Dr. Mirage, Divinity and Faith). Cancelled series, however do not generally appear to get made in this format. While I could never say for sure Wrath won't get one, I think you'd be best off not to expect it.
I wonder what it would be like to be a lonely, muck-encrusted monster? Probably be an improvement.

Has GenZero been officially canceled already?

It makes sense to publish Deluxe Editions for series and story lines that are still going to be continued but I wouldn't see it as a rule of thumb. It's only been 5 years since Valiant started publishing again. If there is such rule then there will be a time for breaking it, however, rkjock1 could be right and it's probably a good idea not to have high hopes anyway. When it comes to the Deluxe Editions you'll just never know if and when.

Looks like I'll add Wrath to my "will buy sometime in 2017ish" list, and then I'll be pleasantly surprised if a deluxe magically appears :) Thank you all for your replies!

Van Lente said it was cancelled in an online Q&A a while back.

Okay. A while back sounds funny keeping in mind it's just been out for 6 issues. Anyhow, did he mention when exactly it will end? Will it still get to 12 issues?

Well, I think he said it 2 months ago or so. It was a while back :) He said it will finish the second story arc.

Poor kids! They have so much potential... but let it all go to waste.

pretty sure they will do a wrath hardcover. it's the definitive "modern" run on the character and the 14 issues are practically the perfect movie-pitch. you want to hand over a nice bound book to potentially interested parties...
mark my words: this will happen.

Just want to put my 2 cents in. Wrath has been my favorite VEI series to date. I support the Deluxe treatment, and hope that it's the complete 14 issue run.
