So Will the Free Comic Book Day issue be included in Volume 7 yes or no.
It’s not listed, so I wouldn’t count on it. Boom has an unfortunate habit of leaving things like that and the annuals out of the number volumes of MMPR.
How about the GO GO Power Rangers #1-8? Will it not be release in a hardcover edition too? If will when then?
