This is what Sophie had been confirmed by the publishers:

Ah, okay. Nice to have it confirmed. Guess it was such a small issue that it got lost in the shuffle for the official descriptions. (Also nice to get a look ahead at the rest of the collections for Sophie's run.)

There's been at least 1 other instance where a FCBD issue wasn't listed in a collection despite it ending up in there. I guess they go under the radar sometimes.

17 has a great cover btw and its contents are wonderful. Love these.

Is the second Usagi crossover still not confirmed? I wonder if it'll be included after issue 150

I'm leaning towards it not being collected in one these volumes as after 18, it'll be whatever way the new run is collected in all likelihood.

Shouldn't the FCBD 2022 issue also be included?

Still not available on Amazon Uk, right?
I cannot find it

Usually takes about a week or so for the UK page to appear, so probably around this time next week

Thanks! I did not know

We now have a listing for the TPB edition of Volume 6 - March 25th, 2025:

They're definitely pumping these out faster.

I'm strongly considering buying these tpb's over the hardcovers. Went to the comic store and didn't realize how "heavy" the hardcovers were to hold. Meanwhile these tpb's feel much more comfortable and they have the same content. I just need to wait a while because I don't want to get burned if they cancel these in the middle or something and then I'm stuck.

[AwakeTea]

Yeah I love the TPBs. I bought both it and the hardcover version of volume 1 and did like a week of extensive testing to see which I found more comfortable. TPB won for me.

The biggest problem has always been how behind they were without any great effort to catch up. But 3 volumes in 7 months is very nice.

Also at the very least the first real stopping point/ first big story chunk of the series will be available with the first 50 issues being available once Volume 6 is out.

Having now been able to do a 1-2-1 comparison of the hb and tpb volumes I can honestly say that the tpb versions are fantastic. If I were newer to the series and not 15 going on 17 volumes deep I think there's a good likelihood that I'd go for the tpb versions. Also worth noting is the slightly higher weight of the more recent prints of the hb volumes due to the thicker paper being used.

[CyberCubed]

Yep, this is why I've decided to go with the tpb's. They're also less expensive, right? You could save more money with these.

Are Nightwatcher and Mutant Nation series' that would be included in these collections?

We don't know yet. The editorial at the back of the new issue #1 indicated that at the very least the first arcs from both NW and MN take place during the timeskip between #150 and #1, with the Casey backup story in MN being set between the Foot Clan mini and issue #5 of the new run.



This would mean that including the FCBD and Alpha issues, there's possibly going to be around 15-18 issues set between IDWv1 and IDWv2 - enough for an entire hardback volume.

If I had to guess, it'll be January at the earliest that we'll be getting any kind of indication of post book 18 collections.

Not by much if any. Right now hardcaover Vol 6 is cheaper than the tpb version. But then again, IDW hardcovers seems to be cheaper than most typical hardcover or at least in comparison to say Boom’s Power Rangers hardcovers which have less issues and is twice the cost

Don’t see why not. The collections also included Universe which is the same thing.

Kind of hope they can throw in the two shorts from the 40th anniversary last minute. Though I think it might be too late.
