BOOM! Launches Value-Priced Legacy Editions with "Top Secret," Sons of Anarchy, & Big Trouble in Little China
BOOM! Studios has announced a new format of "value-priced" softcoverse collecting "every issue of the most popular BOOM! Studios series in chronological order" via press release today. Dubbed Legacy Editions, the new line will launch with collections of BOOM!'s Sons of Anarchy and Big Trouble in Little China comics. "Legacy" isn't the only trick BOOM! is borrowing from the Merry Marvel Huckster Handbook… They're also teasing a "top secret, currently unannounced series" coming to the line in 2018, followed by the next books beginning in 2019.
BOOM! VP of Editorial & Creative Strategy Bryce Carlson said in the press release:
The new LEGACY EDITION format is an important part of BOOM! Studios continued efforts to bring new readers into the world of comics with value-priced collections that attract readers who might be experiencing comics for the first time. With true seminal pop culture properties like Sons of Anarchy and Big Trouble in Little China, alongside some top secret franchises you'll hear about soon, these LEGACY EDITION collections are the perfect place to point the new comic book reader in your life.
The one thing this press release doesn't tell us? The price. Value, after all, is a subjective term.
Here's some more info on the books:

He helped his best friend Wang save his fiancée from the clutches of an ancient sorcerer, but now the wedding has been invaded by more evil forces with one thing on their minds—revenge against Jack Burton!
