Well, the book I held said "First Edition" and it was signed by Starkings on the shelf. However, I wouldn't buy it cause the books just not worth owning. That's an impossible hardcover. It's a million times worse than an older DC Omnibus. It's too damn small, it's half the size of a standard hardcover. Plus, it doesn't even stay open, it's literally glued shut with that glued binding mess. Now, if he printed his series on the new edition HC's like Rick Remender has or Ed Brubaker has, then it's worth owning. But even if I'm a collector and I know that's worth something. I'd literally just buy it to resale it, cause it's not worth owning. Though, I have no idea who the **** got that book binded like that. But they did a total **** job on it. Next time I go, I'll snap a pic for you and show you so you can see. It's pretty horrendous and it'll probably make you cringe seeing that Frankenstein monster.
Thanks, I have first print, seems it doesn't have dj.
@katatonia - it's true those books have terrible binding but they are not small, 'half the size of standard hardcover'. I'm not sure what you mean by saying 'it's not worth owning'. It's worth for me but people are different: I see guys here who have everything on shelf in alphabetical order, or by authors, or by publishers - most common way to organize collection - or folks who get mental when they even small scratch on books. Or even worse: some people have half of collection still in shrink wrap. Or people don't buy books, even they are one of the best comics I've read just because there is art on spine which looks bad if you don't own entire collection - wink, wink Balakin. That's just weird, man! Me, I don't care, I love my messy collection, I don't have OCD.
Does somebody from here go to London SCC next weekend? I'm thinking about it to get some books signed by Bendis but I can see Frazer Irving will be there as well, but I don't see his name on signing schedule. Will he be signing, does somebody know?

I only have the Michael Turner Gallery Edition to compare it to, but here are my thoughts. Seems a little inferior in production, cover seems flimsier, some gotter loss on double page spreads. Not too bad mind you, just for comparisons sake. Not much in the way of extras i noticed on my initial flip through: some extra pin ups, forward by McFarlane, and a career writeup at the end. If you're a fan of McFarlane I'd say go for it, especially with the hefty image discount here in the states. I doubt I'd pay retail for it. Not sure what the production run is on these typically, but i believe this is limited to 1500, and they are all signed, so there's that.
Ok new printing
