I own Hellboy Library Editions 1 and 3 and I need to add some stuff to my Christmas list. This reading list is a bit complicated to me, but is it the case that the Library Editions contain everything that would be in the omnibuses? Like, the first omnibus mentions two volumes of short stories--are those included in the Library Editions?

Basically, if I ask for the other Library Editions, is that all the Hellboy material? Or would it be missing certain core Hellboy stuff that the omnibuses contain?

I've just finished Library book 4, and it's got most of it. I did have to buy one store out of Library format, and it doesn't have BRPD. Here's the read guide I'm using:

I have Year 1 in my pile to read (I never read DC stuff otherwise), so what's the catch here?

That diagram there is too convoluted. Just read the omnibus editions in their numerical order and the two short story collections whenever. The whole point of the omnibi (omnibuses?) is to make it simple to read. Those six books compile all the Hellboy material from the beginning all the way through Hellboy in Hell. I have no idea what the Library Editions contain though. I only read all that after the omnibuses (?) were released because I didn't want to buy fifty of those little trades they use to have. The price point on the omnibi (?) is really good too. Getting bogged down in which of the spinoffs you should read when seems like an exercise in tedium. I can tell you from reading just Hellboy I wasn't lost because I didn't read Lobster Johnson volume one and then BPRD volume two or whatever the gently caress in between each book.

I think the Library Editions are just compilations of two trades, hardbound, with bonus sketches and that kind of thing, but I'm not sure. If I didn't already have volumes 1 and 3 that I found for a good price, I probably would just start over with the omnibuses. Maybe I should anyway, honestly, the sketches and stuff don't do much for me.

Sal Buscema with Sienkiewicz.

It's from the issue where Peter hits Mary Jane. But obviously not that page since I wouldn't even want that one for its nadir of Marvel Comics value.

When I was reading the clone saga earlier this year, the Buscema issues looked terrible. Then Sienkiewicz took over the inking and it was like he was redrawing half the page. It still looked wrong for Spider-Man, but it became about a stylistic mismatch instead of just sketchy and flat.

New York was really lucky Uncle Ben got shot the moment Peter used his powers for personal gain, otherwise he'd have basically been another Doc Ock or Green Goblin, only there wouldn't be a Spider-Man to stop him.

Yeah, the one where Uncle Ben doesn't get shot has him turn into an annoying self-obsessed celebrity who drives the Daily Bugle to ruin because he thinks it's funny. Kind of a mundane dick more than a supervillain, which makes sense.

It kind of sucks that they are implying the only reason Peter became a hero is because of a tragedy, instead of some kind of being just raised right. That is more of a failing on May and Ben's behalf if the only way for Peter to be a decent guy was for one of them to be killed.
