I found this http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2017-10-10/viz-media-announces-acquisition-and-publishing-plans-for-homestuck-collector-edition-series/.122482 and it claims we'll get the Homestuck books quarterly. That means Q2: A1+A2, Q3: A3+I?, Q4: A4?, Q12019: A5A1 maybe?? Also, digital versions of the books (for what purpose).
Created by Andrew Hussie, HOMESTUCK BOOK 1: ACT 1 & ACT 2 is rated ‘T+’ for Older Teens and will be published in April 2018. Future books in the series will be released by Viz Media on a quarterly basis. Each volume will be a deluxe hardcover, full-color edition of roughly 400 pages in length and will feature new cover art and other exclusive content. Animated content in the web comic will be rendered as frames on the print page, and every page will feature commentary from Andrew Hussie. Digital editions of each volume will also be available through partner storefronts.
Also, sadder news. Viz claims acquisition of the HOMESTUCK web comic. What the hell.
EDIT: People intelligently theorize the "digital versions of the books" are going to be released to fulfill the "digital copy of Homestuck" stretch goal in the kickstarter https://i.imgur.com/aQdvi7p.png, I hope that's not true and we actually get the full comic in offline form.
