Revised/New Edition TPB Handling

[zanish]

I know this doesn't happen often but I am starting to add Hellblazer TPBs and there are the original and new editions. You can see the differences here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Hellblazer_comics#Collected_editions, but they are materially different than the OG release.

For organization would it be best to either:
a. Make 1 series and add both versions of the TPB to that series
b. Make 2 series (Hellblazer TPB & Hellblazer New Edition TPB) and add the respective tpbs to each series?

I didn't see anything on the editing guide and don't want to go rogue.

Thanks!

Hmmm... My initial thought is to make two series since they reprint different material.

The problem I see, is something I've been giving some thought about recently, is the first set of TPB's don't have a volume numbers (hence no Vol 2, etc.) and were published in no logical order, so I'm wondering if we should have those as individual series, like Hellblazer: Original Sins, and not how we tend to handle TPB like the second set, which we add as a single series using the volume number like a ongoing series' issue number.

I need to give this a little more thought, and have some other folks weigh in on it before making a final decision.

Alright, gave this some thought and no one in the Matrix channel had a strong opinion, so I think it should be handled as:

1. The original TPB's should be created with a separate series per TPB, since they all are a Vol. 1 and were printed without regard to issue order. For example, John Constantine, Hellblazer: The Devil You Know #1
2. The new edition TPB should be created as one series, with the volume acting like an issue number, similar to how GCD does.

If you have any questions, or something needs to be better clarified don't hesitate to ask.
