Over the Hedge Book Plans

I have little to no interest in movie adaptations of comics properties, but I have been curious as to what Andrews McMeel would pursue as a print strategy with an Over the Hedge film coming out as 1) Andrews McMeel doesn't usually have this decision to make, and 2) comic strip collections are generally attuned to people who are already fans of the newspaper serialization or are at least familiar with the rhythms and expectations of such collections, as opposed to the one-stop shopping represented by, say, the V For Vendetta trade, and 3) In about 200 newspapers and without the press that follows something like the 350-client Boondocks, Over the Hedge stands to gain from the movie version more than other strips might.

Anyway, Editor & Publisher reports that the prominent comic strip book publisher is putting out a fourth book and new printings of the three previous volumes that featured the strip.
