I paid £110 off the shelf so I didn't have to worry about shipping damage.
Well, technically I didn't pay anything as I got the GF to pay for it as a birthday present.
This is my third AE book, after the Watchmen Artifact Edition and Alien by Walter Simonsen. I want the Hellboy AE as well but that sold out before I had the chance.

there's gonna be a new HB AE but I'm not sure if it's new stuff or a reprint. Shame it won't have lettering either way.
btw AEs and GEs ship in their own protective boxes so there can't really be any damages. Also FPI usually has them the cheapest and they are really good with packaging.
I've paid even more for a single AE before but I kinda got the AE bug at the time and 80 is not a bad price at all especially for the Graphitti designs ones.

[QUOTE=Balakin;2844851]noooooo nohohohohohohooooo nononononoooo...
nope :D
more like Asterix or Tintin. Art style is more Asterix than Tintin. The stories have fun retro sci-fi concepts but I didn`t find them as funny as the other two mentioned series.[/QUOTE]
Hmm, gotcha. I'll have to see if I can find some previews before I decide. Thanks!

This is the French one. Can you see the art.

I was googling for previews and found a series of reviews on the forbidden planet blog
[url]http://forbiddenplanet.blog/tag/cinebook/[/url]
the writer says the series really becomes a classic with the 9th volume which probably will be in the 3rd hardcover (I think that comes out right around the movie) although Empire of a Thousand planets which is in the 1st hc was quite enjoyable but the first story, he claims was quite bad.
I enjoyed certain aspects of the first story but I'm quite sure it won't engage most of the new readers who want to try the series out because of the movie that remindes them of the 5th Element.

You didn't follow the link, now, did you? Didn't I tell you not to? ;)
Same thing happened to me though. Didn't want to get it. But luckily it was my birthday a couple of days ago, so I could justify the purchase. However, other books like Saga vol. 2 need to wait now.

So since I have all this EC goodness at my disposal I thought I do a quick comparison.
Here's Jack Davis three ways. :) left is the current Darkhorse color archive. Middle is the Fantagraphics B&W and right is the original Russ Cochran EC Library B&W:

And all three books for relative size:

And closer shots of all three in the same order:

It's sold out, it was really hard to get mine copy, I've been writing emails to them last couple months. For my luck they have screwed up something with books, they are limited to 250 pieces but they don't have information which one is it, so mine copy might have been 1/250 or 250/250. Anyway, art is great, same as story.

Anyone ever read Outlaw Nation by Jamie Delano? I picked up the black and white trade of all 19 issues that Image reprinted a while ago for super cheap, and god damn it's great. I've been reading it on my lunch breaks, and I don't think I can wait till Monday to finish reading it, might have to tonight.
I'd love a hardcover colored reprint of this, Goran Sudzuka's art is great, and later on Goran Pavlov takes over.
Kinda reminds me of Preacher and East of West, but a bit more realistic(kind of).

I'm pretty sure it's going to be oversized. They are using "deluxe" word, and not only on the Title but also on the descrpition :
[B]Deluxe[/B] Hardcover format - [B]7.25" x 10.875"[/B]
"Your new sci-fi obsession is here, and its name is Descender..." - Entertainment Weekly
Young Robot boy TIM-21 and his companions struggle to stay alive in a universe where all androids have been outlawed and bounty hunters lurk on every planet. Written by award-winning creator, Jeff Lemire, Descender is a rip-roaring and heart-felt cosmic odyssey. Lemire pits humanity against machine, and world against world, to create a sprawling epic.
