Penny Arcade Volume 6

vapspwi

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, or a repeat. I just don't see a better place on the forum to talk about the trade paperback collections of old Penny Arcade stuff. (And isn't it a little strange that the Penny Arcade forum is missing a place to talk about Penny Arcade?)

Anyway, I've been looking around to see if I could figure out the status of Volume 6 of the Penny Arcade collections from Dark Horse Comics, and there's like zero information to be had on the web. I did, however, come across this, which was interesting:

http://www.amazon.com/Splendid-Magic-Penny-Arcade-Anniversary/dp/034551226X/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1242066929&sr=1-5

Amazon fishes for upcoming comics stuff are notoriously inaccurate, but this seems more fleshed out than most. It makes me wonder if the Dark Horse collections are being scrapped in favor of a series of hardcover collections from Del Rey (though the volume linked above doesn't really sound like the same sort of straight chronological collection as the Dark Horse stuff).

Anybody got any more info?

I think this is the special anniversary book they were soliciting questions for in a newspost some time back.

I must've missed that newspost, but yeah, this does appear to be a "12.5th anniversary book." The description of the book also mentions that it's the "launching point for a new line of Penny Arcade collections published by Del Rey," which is what makes me wonder about the future of the Dark Horse collections.
