Does anyone here have the both the softcover and hardcover compendiums for Walking Dead or Invincible?
My guess is that whatever "newsprint" ends up being, it will be the same papers that these other compendiums are already printed on. Something like this: I've got a few marvel Omnibuses and a couple DC, but nothing from Skybound/Image to compare. Edit to add: Skybound may change up the paper to be "more authentic to the original 1980s coloring" rather than using slicker stock like what modern comics are printed on. Either way, seems like both softcover and hardcover normally get the same paper. Last edited by SquishyOH; Today at 08:02 PM.. |

I have the first 3 softcover TWD Compendiums (still need to pick up the last one). Inside pages of those are gloss, not newsprint. There's a distinct difference in quality, so for them to say newsprint, expect it to be newsprint - at least in the softcovers. The hardbounds are still TBD.
I was just out watering the tomatoes and had that same idea. I would kind of expect the same paper for both GI Joe versions as the coloring and print setup would end up being the same for each. I dunno... |

It's highly plausible. GI Joe is on the small end of a very niche market. And if they do, they'll save a ton of cash and a ton of work, but the internal quality will suck with pages that smear, transfer, smudge and tear easily. The industry left it behind for a reason, and most (if not all) of us would gladly pay a bit more for better quality.

Most of us already have a lot (or even all) of the Marvel Joe comics on newsprint. We don't need to pay big bucks for more of that.
I'm only interested in high quality paper for reprints. And for the love of god, can they finally reprint number 21 with the color corrections Larry requested? It's only been done once and that edition is ridiculously expensive. |
