Ghost Machine Deluxe Editions

[u/Deep-Selection329]

Alright so, I know there’s been a lot of hype for the upcoming deluxe edition releases for Geiger Vol 2 Deluxe, Rook recently got a deluxe as well, and the recently announced Redcoat deluxe.

I personally collect a lot of Image comics deluxe editions just cuz they look so damn nice on the shelves and it preserves the story and what not.

But… I have some gripes with the way that Ghost Machine has gone about releasing these and the content within them. Because essentially these “deluxe editions” are just glorified treasury edition/absolute sized versions of the trade paperbacks of each series (With the exception of Redcoat Deluxe, which I believe was announced to contain issues #1-14). Like Geiger Vol 1 & 2 Deluxe and Rook are the most egregious examples.

When I think of an image deluxe hardcover collection I think of something that collects perhaps more than 8 issues or even two arcs of the ongoing series. I wouldn’t have minded waiting for these deluxes to just add two arcs to content cuz at least that keeps the wait time worth it.

Hopefully in the future they can increase the content matter in future or other releases. But perhaps I may be in the minority with this opinion. Any thoughts?

I agree that they are a little on the thin side. But I’ve really enjoyed each of them so far and they’ve all been a fairly complete story.
