Its very annoying that they will not state what happened with the HC run. They do write nebulous responses though. The people who work at IDW are very immature. They ought to hire a secretary instead of douchily answering the emails as though their mothers never taught them manners.
I think that the fact that Herb Trimpe died was the reason they stopped doing them. I think they made as much from the signed version of the book as the regular edition, so it might not have been worth it for them to do a non-signed version. Maybe they were trying to think of someone else to continue the signed run, like Larry Hama. We can't know because they are too busy sniffing each others privates down there to communicate with paying customers.
If you do the math:
regular version: 10,000 x $30=300,000 SRP so they get like $60,000 from that.
The signed one was $75 x 2000 sold direct on their website = $150,000
(and 100 'artist proof editions - $150 x 100 = $15,000)
Just guessing the print runs of course.
