Dark Horse Hardcover and Collected editions

[epyon3245234]

Hi everyone. I just recently started reading the Buffy season 8 library editions, and I noticed an issue with my volume 2. The first few pages sewn together seem to have been folded wrong before being sewn in. All of the panels that reach the edge and two-page spreads don't line up. Anyone else have this problem or is mine unique? It's driving me crazy, but I don't want the hassle of doing a return if it was a common problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've never been into these "art of" video game books, but I'm too hardcore of a Metal Gear Solid fan to pass this one up. I hope it's full of awesome Shinkawa art. I've always loved his art since I was a youngin' playing MGS1.

I'll probably get the massive vol 2 before I get around to reading the first one, then with my luck I'll probably hate it

Heh. You should probably read vol. 1 and then decide. 15 issues could have been done in 7.

Anyone else pick up the Mr. X collection? Mine has some spots that looks like ink smudges in the lower margins and just wondering if I got an unlucky copy or if was on multiple copies.

I have received two days ago my copy of the limited edition of the Sin City Curator's edition (ordered through FP, top notch packaging as always). This is the first volume of this Curator's Collection produced by Kitchen Sink Books (an imprint od Dark Horse), and I hope that there will be more! It is really a beast of a book (see picture below) as the original art is reproduced full size (with traces of pencils and whitening). Miller art explodes at every pages.

I'd be tempted to get this if the rest of the books get the same treatment, I love sin city but ended up selling the big Omni as it was too big to read comfortably, I would love 2 or 3 library editions, which I'm surprised DH haven't put out

Excellent article by the way ��

[Dark-Flux]

Sin City was actually collected across 2 library editions but theyre long oop.

Yeah, tried to get hold of them, but didn't want to spend that much cash on eBay books

Thank you guys for the kind words. Reading between the lines of Dark Horse description, I think there will be others Sin City Curator's collection. And the good thing is this curator's edition can be ordered from a wide range of webshop (including European based one), applying their regular discount.

I found out of about Big Damn going OOP but even then I was hesitant about pulling the trigger. I've been in this hobby for almost two years now and my collection is getting too big for my room. I had trouble moving out of my last place with my collection being half less than half of what it is now and I don't even want to think about how gruelling it'll be when I eventually move out of this place. I'm trying to keep my books smaller because of this. It would be awesome to get deluxe editions out of it though.
