I only buy the "bound book" type comics... The ones that compile a bunch of the individual comics, of say Clone Wars, into one volume. Are those the Trade Paperback things? Excuse my comic ignorance, please. I just don't know what's coming out or what I should be looking for and when and things.
For the most part, the Trade Papaerbacks are what you are looking for. Those books are about the same size as the single issues. However, Dark Horse also has their Omnibus program. It is also a bound book format but it reprints material in a smaller size. The Omnibus releases are smaller in size (6" x 9") than the standard comic book or trade paperback release. This does not, however, affect the layout, coloring or lettering. For the most part the Omnibus are reprinting older Dark Horse material from the late 90's. The Omnibus material was also released in the Trade format at an earlier time, so you may want to check the content of the Omnibus to see if you have it already.
The MENACE REVEALED Omnibus reprints Star Wars #27: 'Starcrash'; Star Wars: The Hunt for Aurra Sing; Star Wars: Jedi Quest #1-#4; Star Wars Starfighter: Crossbones #1-#3; Star Wars Episode II Hasbro Minicomics #1-#4; Dark Horse Extra #35-#37; 'Heart of Fire' ; Dark Horse Extra #44-#47, 'Poison Moon.' This Omnibus is really one that I've been looking forward to as it quite a few hard to find material, including the Episode Two mini comics and the Dark Horse Extra strips. This is also the first time that Star Wars #27 (Starcrash) has been reprinted anywhere.
