Trillium is also excellent but sweet tooth is my favorite after Essex county. I dig his mainstream work to. He did a great , different take on the wolfman/Perez titans that kept the spirit while being original that just came out and his green arrow was stellar if you enjoy superheroes.
Thanks for the update. I'm loving the current IDW series so having it collected in HC is a must for me. Plus it'll look great on my shelf next to my TMNT Ultimate Editions.
Speaking of Lemire's Green Arrow... is there any news on in being collected in HC? After all it is one of the best runs so far of the New 52.
The upcoming Steranko Cap / Shield Artist's edition has made me salivate.
It also makes me cry because I can never afford it.
Hoping someone here can tell me something about an IDW deluxe red label edition I was given. It's the Transformers: last Stand of the Wreckers - weird thing is that where the number out of 250 is supposed to be, it's just blank. Otherwise everything else is the same about it from all the solicits info I've read.
And the IDW solicitations are out. The HCs:
