Each of the hardcovers is 2 softcovers, other than that they are identical. One minor difference is that the hardcovers have a sketchbook for two volumes at the end instead of where they seperate in the trades, whereas trades have them at the end of the trade. No significant differences other than hardcover and soft cover. An example of how they are structured followed.
Hardcover (HC) 1= Softcover (SC) 1-2
HC 2 = Softcover 3=4 et cetera,
P.S don't know about the giant like 40 issue versions though.
