So how many issues of THB got made? In the editorial Pope says he is putting an end to THB after #6 because of other projects. I guess I won't luck out again on finding another issue, but I am curious. So there's issues 1 to 5, then after that he discovered manga, did a reprint of issue 1 with a bunch more pages because he figured that was better pacing. So after that, issue 6 got turned into 4 issues, numbered like 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d. These are all like 96 pages I think. There's also a special called M3: Mars' Mightiest Mek (which I feel like isn't impossible to find) and then there was an oversized continuation called Giant THB. (There were also a bunch of other specials before this of various larger dimensions - P-City Parade, which I mentioned earlier.) Giant THB came out in September 2003 - I remember it was one of the first comics I bought at the comics store in the town where I went to college. All these were self-published. After that, Adhouse put out two issues called THB: Comics From Mars. Again, I think issue 2 is... not impossible to find? But issue 1 was maybe just at one show or something.

yeah 1-5 and 6abcd are the main storyline, everything else THB-related is like short stories and essays and stuff about other things happening in that world.
Super curious how they'll end up packaging this as books since there's so much content and it's so all over the place narratively, stylistically, chronologically, etc.
Also I wonder how much story is left after 6D, especially considering that you don't really know what the scope of the plot of the main narrative is until towards the end of the 6 main issues.

Can we give spoilers for a 20-yr old comic that will probably never be finished and the plot is not the main point anyways?
I don't think the plot with Watson Sr. and the Martian tribes is revealed 'till Giant Size THB (aka #7) right?

I have suffered worst plot spoilers, like when a friend told me who the killer of Laura Palmer was, thinking that I was done watching the series. I was not! I guess this is a little of a derail. sorry, hahaha
