Interesting. But I'd rather have a little more Astro City than this....

Great book. But I hate the digital recoloring Marvel's been doing with these updated reprints. Did this one get the digital treatment? I tend to dislike that with my Masterworks volumes and whatnot, didn't even catch that with this one. I have originals of those books, I need to pull out and compare. I believe so. Most of Marvels Epic collections and older stuff are getting that treatment. Just the cover you posted is a digital color job of the Adams original cover. I try to look for the out of print trades for that reason...

The Private Files of the Shadow. A hard to find hardcover that reprints the Shadow #s 1-4 and #6. I love a good HC, especially when DC in the late 80s/early 90s weren't doing that many. I had to get this immediately back in 1989

This is my copy of the X-Men Asgardian Wars collection, a really nice deluxe style hardcover containing the mid-80's X-Men/Alpha Flight limited series 2-parter, New Mutants Special Edition, and Uncanny X-Men Annual #9. All connected stories, but for me the jewel is that New Mutants Special Edition, probably my favorite comic book of all time. I was already hooked on New Mutants due to the Claremont/Sienkiewicz team, but while I loved Bill's art on that run, I was probably ready for a bit of a change and something a little more mainstream but still nice. Art Adams with Terry Austin on inks was stunning to me, and the storyline was really quite a coming of age for the team in a fantastical setting. Asgard felt so big to me in that story, and definitely very magical. This collection reprints it really nicely on high end paper and gets reread plenty. Great book. But I hate the digital recoloring Marvel's been doing with these updated reprints.

- Batman/Dylan Dog #2 - Batman: First Knight #2
Batman/Dylan Dog continues to be the one of the best sleeper DCU books this year. It's so well written and beautifully drawn. I know enough of Dylan Dog from reading the old Dark Horse reprints to understand the character.
Haven't read First Knight yet. I'm excited to get into it.

In memory of the passing of the great Trina Robbins, I highly recommend any of her books that talk about women in comics. Amazingly informative and a must for everyone's bookshelves. A Century of Women Cartoonists, from late 1800s to the 1990s, Robbins gives us the history of those pioneers that were overshadowed and some you never heard of. It's an amazing read, like of her works.
