Its in the omnibus format so at least you're getting 3 volumes worth of material per each of these deluxe edition versions.
And it's a deluxe hardcover embossed whatever edition that will already cost a decent amount too. Ehhh.
I mean, I obviously want them, but I wonder how much these will cost in Canada bucks. I've already invested a good chunk of change in the 39 regular volumes that are out. What the hell am I supposed to do with those?
3 volumes per hardcover, so 13 hardcover omnibus to catch up with the Manga? That's not too bad considering the amount of chapters there are.
I need this. I wonder if it will be more cost-effective to buy these instead of individual volumes. Assuming these 3-in-1s are less than $45, I'm all over it.
I love me some omnibus', but, I just couldn't keep going with Berserk. I remember quitting when I thought the amount of rape was getting excessive even for me. Does it ever let up? I stopped somewhere shortly after an eclipse happened around chapter 100ish? I think.
Nice, nice. I already have all of the paperback volumes so I'll be passing on this, but I'm glad DH is giving Berserk more love.
This sounds like the Hellboy Library Editions that Dark Horse put out. If these are like that, Berserk fans are in for a treat.

Being hardcover alone bumps the price of these above the $20 mark.
Yeah, okay, sounds good. But there's no end to the series in sight, which makes me a little uneasy about starting to buy these. I love big, hardcover editions of books, but I generally only buy those for series I know I like and are complete/guaranteed to reach a conclusion. But if I wait for that, there's a damn good chance the first volumes will be out of print by the time Miura gets there. First world problems!

The tone of the series does lighten up as it goes on but there are still moments and secense of extreme depravity, gore, violence and so on.

Damn. I'll need to see one of these in person to make sure the quality warrants the price.
Yeah I feel like all the text is at odds with the minimalist design. I wish the only thing on the front cover was the Brand of Sacrifice and they left all the text for the spine of the book.
They'll probably release about six volumes and then quit, or take so long doing it that the first ones go out of print. Most of these multiple hardcover collections are never finished in my experience and it makes me never want to but a single one.
Assuming that will be like £30 here. I'll need to see what the quality is like too before i drop money on this at that price.
Dark Horse are not going to drop a release for probably their most popular manga license and not release all they can. The only way this doesn't finish is if Miura never finishes the book.
