I jumped on this, I couldn't afford the other SL editions and it sounds like it's going to be a glorious monster, but with other recent purchases (Finders Keepers NA, UK, WHS, The Bazaar of Bad Dreams Pre-order/slipcase, Owen King's SL We're All in This Together) I'm very much tapped out. Almost passed on it.
So this is actually the novel for the NOS4A2 portion? I just assumed it was all a graphic novel when I saw it was from IDW.
I don't follow the comics at all.

I was confused on that point as well (whether the NOS4A2 portion was the text novel or a new graphic-novel interpretation), so clarified the issue with Bill. As per his response, NOS4A2 is the text novel:Originally Posted by Scoogs
It's the novel proper plus the graphic novel Wraith.
The only new material is the 26 illustrations.
Since I already have the Sub Press S/L in slipcase, and have little interest in comics/graphic novels, I'm passing on this one.
I actually purchased a signed copy of Heart-Shaped Box from a brick and mortar Barnes and Noble back in 2008, and it was a 5th printing with a Joe Hill signature dated 3/5/07. They had multiple copies on the shelf.2 things i have never seen on a signed Joe Hill the the hook of the J going through the top line, and all of his e"s in Joe either go through the back of the e or at least touch. never saw either of these things in a genuine Joe Hill siggy. I have about 200 or so siggy's so that would turn me off. Maybe he was buzzed but i doubt it. also good catch on the 5th printing. Highly unlikely. All of my 07' are 1st printings. I have only seen a coulpe 2nd printings from that time signed. Never a 3rd.I don't like the signature and there is no way that there was a fifth printing within a month.

wow could be a 5th printing. Still notice the e and the J compared to the other signature.I actually purchased a signed copy of Heart-Shaped Box from a brick and mortar Barnes and Noble back in 2008, and it was a 5th printing with a Joe Hill signature dated 3/5/07.

Just confirmed with Bill that the new edition won't have the Wraith novella or alternate ending.

Crazy. I wonder how that works out? It doesn't seem like a 5th printing would have happened by march of 07.
I love the appeal of the novel and graphic novel in one. I'm tapped out, though. But I'll pick up one down the road.

I don't collect Joe's stuff (yet) and so was all excited when I saw the email from SP. Then I started to read that this isn't the first S/L of this book, and so started to wonder why there is another, and if it is worth picking it up as my intro to Hill collecting??
So, the original Sub Press S/L has NOS4A2 and Wraith (written form), so I'm not biting. I will save my money for his next original novel.

I also skip and think that they will get cheaper in the secondary market. 999 copies / 150$ is more than enough for the market i guess...
My OCD doesn't allow me not to order, so I did and requested the same number as the first s/l.
It'll will be interesting to see the secondary market listings and confusion over which s/l it is that's being sold.
The main difference is that this one has the 'Wraith' miniseries with the novel. The original S/L had some bonus content (an extra novella and alternate ending) that's not here.
It looks like a pretty nice book so you could do worse. I don't know how much value it will have in the long run, though, if you're planning on reselling later.

I wouldn't be too worried about resell value, I buy with the intent of keeping and enjoying the books. Sounds as though a few here think they may be cheaper on the seconday market down the road however. Maybe I might see about picking one up if they are a little cheaper.The main difference is that this one has the 'Wraith' miniseries with the novel.

Thanks for the clarification re the differences.
I asked for a specific number to match my Sub Press NOS4A2 and was told they will try, but since it's another publishers book they can't guarantee. I understand this, but IDW does not sell this direct so buying from another retailer is the only option. So I guess some people will get there numbers and others won't. I'm thinking maybe I should have just waited until secondary market if I'm just getting a random number.
Not a slam against Sub Press, all retailers will have this problem, just a frustration.
Turns out that Bett's also has a 2007 signed, 5th printing copy of Heart-Shaped Box for sale. So apparently it's totally possible but it still seems odd.
I have UK 1sts of Horns and 20th Century Ghosts for sale (unsigned...and highly desirable since Joe didn't scribble in these! LOL!)and a copy of the Slipcased Gunpowder from PS signed by Joe and V.Chong. I would prefer PP gift and to ship only in the US. If interesested please send me an offer via PM. Pictures available upon request. Thanks.
EDIT: Gunpowder is sold.
I hate audible and I am disappointed that Joe and Owen are only releasing download only audiobooks but this is pretty cool

Still very awesome that it'll be free for the first month - I'll definitely be getting a copy. I enjoy some of Neil Gaiman's work where they've used a full cast for the audible version - like never where.
From a recent interview: I’ve got a new novel, a dark modern fantasy called The Fireman, which will be out in the summer of 2016. It’s about a plague of spontaneous combustion; it’s my version of The Stand, soaked in gasoline and set on fire.
Author of The Road to the Dark Tower, Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences and The Dark Tower Companion. Co-editor with Stephen King of the anthology Flight or Fright.

Good question.

Were you guys reading my mind?! I was just trolling PS Pub's website, hoping I hadn't missed something in an email!
way back when - they said it should be announced by the end of May - I assumed that was May 2015 - but now I could be wrong. Nothing has been mentioned in any of their friday newsletters - no hints, no nothing. Maybe this will be the week?Were you guys reading my mind?!
