Been working on the "Enormous" set of books and trying to get a feel for the entire thing. Does anyone else here get into it?

If I am understanding the timeline correctly, the first book with this storyline would have been in 2012 and is the "Treasury edition"



Apparently in 2014 there was the series, twelve issues that followed, and each had a few cover versions.

After that the series was apparently reprinted in two trade paperbacks

When I refer this to IMB it talks about a television series planned using the characters and gives the casting names and etc, as if the series had actually aired, but I cannot find it anywhere to view, nor for sale on disk etc.

Does anyone have any more detailed information about related projects, this series or any corrections to my understanding of the title? The books themselves, at least the Treasury and most of the earlier issues are pricy and scarce nowdays. The artwork especially on the covers is quite crisp and the story is well written, if you enjoy giant monsters and apocalyptic style settings

The regular cover versions for several issues, with 12 being the final issue pictured.

Wow - I had almost forgotten about this series. It was hot; then it was not. Then it was hot again. Then I forgot.
I did enjoy it though and yea... I believe the series started with that oversized near Treasury sized edition.

The Treasury in nicer shape seems to be in the 30-50 range and the early issues of the series have gotten a bit expensive in the nicer grades...

The concept of the "treasury" being the first and original appearance seems confusing, as if you might expect a treasury to contain the contents of something previous...but if there was I cannot figure out what

Thanks Bigred, and yes I agree, the classic giant insect genera never seems to get old.....I still have my old Black and white copy of "Them" around here somewhere.
