I just read through the copy of the King City Tokyopop version I grabbed the other month.
Do you know what the collection plans for King City are?
And is the Image series partially a re-release of the Tokyopop version or is it all a direct sequel to it.
@CasinoGrande: No announced collection plans yet, and the Image series is a reprint of the Tokyopop version in a larger size with backups, and then six issues of all new material.

Nothing concrete, but this is the year where Flex Mentallo’s getting reprinted, so I’ve got hope.
