JB - has Abrams discussed a deluxe/expanded edition of volume 1?
They did something like this with Alex Ross’ Fantastic Four Full Circle… Regular HC expanded edition HC ( with extras, sketches, etc) Slipcase Expanded Edition (same as above but in a slip case).
I’m holding out hopes they will do this as there were no “special features” in the first volume!

I got worried so I called my LCS to make sure they'd reserve a copy for me. They have me down for Vols 2 and 3 as well. (Nothing like planning ahead!)

My copy has arrived! So excited. What a treat to hold this in my hand - and 2 more volumes to come! Wow. Glad the next one is in 2027, a pleasure delayed is a pleasure increased, I often say. What a delightful time for us all to be JB fans.

My Kindle version has arrived. Wow.
The colouring is brilliant, none of that day glo nonsense
that we see in reprints, but flat, muted colours that are
perfect, even on an iPad screen.
I will be reading this anew this week - it's like a real
world version of the oft used JB title - together again for
the first time.

I've got a couple of copies coming from DCBS, but I went ahead and got the digital version through Kobo so I can read it today. I absolutely loved the page-a-day experience, but am blown away with the full-color version. Thank you again JB. This really makes my day.
