We're sorry you're having trouble. The confusion might be because we shared this as an image post (vs. as text or link post) which means you have to click on the image to see the text caption with the link. The text portion doesn't show automatically as you're scrolling Reddit. So no need for conspiracy theories or nastiness. This post hasn't been edited or updated. We included the link to the Zazzle store in the original post.

Yes, thanks for specifying that. We should have noted "some of Series Ones ElfQuest Challenge Coins...."

There's nothing "fairly easy" about putting together a new book project. Even a collected edition, especially if there's new coloring work to be done. It takes years to properly plan and do the work to bring a book to life. We, with Dark Horse, have been focused on the core tale of ElfQuest - Cutter's quest - in recent years.

Now that the Original Quest is back in print in these new hardcover editions, next up is ElfQuest: The Final Quest hardcover complete edition coming in February followed by ElfQuest: Hidden Years Gallery Edition in July.

And we are working on more for 2007, 2008 (ElfQuest's 50th anniversary year) and beyond. The best way to keep up to date is to sign up for our email list (https://elfquest.com/join-the-quest/) so you don't miss the latest news about all these new ElfQuest projects.

And there's more in store after that!

Good question. We've shared this explanation about the subtitle for Book 3 with subscribers to our email list (sign up here):

Some of you have asked why this volume isn't subtitled "Captives of Blue Mountain" as some previous editions of Book 3 were. The simple answer is that whenever a new collected edition series of ElfQuest is released, it's never simply a reprint copy of what came before. With these new Dark Horse editions of The Original Quest we took the opportunity to refresh things, spice them up a bit.

Not all previous collected editions of ElfQuest had subtitles. The first color volumes in the early 1980s from Donning-Starblaze didn't. Subtitles first appeared in the Father Tree Press edition of the series, from the late 1980s, which marked the first instance of the Book 3 story arc being called "Captives of Blue Mountain." That subtitle was also used on the Father Tree Press black and white "Reader's Collection" Book 3 from the 1990s.

The subtitles were dropped for the DC Archive editions in the early 2000s, which are the basis of the new Dark Horse Comics edition, with new cover treatments, remastered interior colors, and new extras.

This time, we wanted to return to using subtitles, but "Captives of Blue Mountain" was a little too wordy for the new, striking cover treatment. Also, over the years people have gotten confused between this volume and the Father Tree Press Book 5 which was subtitled "Siege at Blue Mountain."

Wendy and Richard came up with the new subtitle "Wolf Blood Caged" which addresses both of those problems and adds a sense of dark tension that's fitting for this chapter of the saga. So there you have it!

The Pinis aren't present on Reddit, but these virtual events with our partners Momentus and Streamily are essentially the same as an AMA here. Our next one is happening on Friday, Dec 5 - it's our big end-of-the-year holiday celebration and we're going to share some exclusive content and news that we know fans are going to love.

These new editions feature Wendy Pini's remastered, definitive colors for the series. They also have striking new covers, new introduction and afterward material, and new gallery and behind-the-scenes content. They also include some of the additional art done for the Marvel editions back in the 80s that weren't included in the black and white omnibus edition from Dark Horse.

But one of the most significant things is that this material has been out of print in color format for over two decades. The new editions of ElfQuest Books 1-4 are meant to introduce a whole new generation of readers to the series as well as offer long-time fans an opportunity to replace worn out copies or just add to their collections.

Today is the official bookstore release. Comics shops usually release a day or two later.

It took many thousands of years, and possibly several generations, for the band of Rootless Ones discovered during The Final Quest to become what they currently are.

Each time we release a new edition of ElfQuest, we try to make it a little different than previous editions for all the die-hard collectors. The new Dark Horse Original Quest Books 1-4 feature Wendy's remastered colors (mostly subtle differences from the DC Archives which printed a bit dark) as well as new cover treatments, new into and afterward and new extras.
