I'll be at ECCC, it will be nice to meet some of you! If Kells is near to the Hostel I am staying at, I can probably pop by for a bit.
1. $40 price point is too high for this book. I know it's a nice hardcover, and they redid the coloring...but still. If this had been $30, I would have been all over it immediately. Instead I had to wait for it to go on sale at my shop. $10 matters!
2. They printed to close in to the gutter for my liking. There are pages where bits of dialog and art are so far into the gutter of the page, that they are for all intents and purposes, unreadable. I have to pull and flatten the pages with both hands to get at those hidden little interiors, and that's not something I like to do on a book I already feel is a bit overpriced. Kirbys Eternals Omnibus from Marvel is the other really bad example of this I can think of off hand.
Neither of those are enough to ruin my enjoyment, but they do stain an otherwise excellent book.
@Soniaharris: I was definitely planning on checking out Isotope, I've heard way too many good things about the shop to miss it! Thanks for the heads up on the other places, my action figure display case thanks you:) I think I'll be in town for a week to ten days if anyone wants to go for coffee or show me your favorite places I'd be most appreciative.
@Daccampo: I plan on it;)
