I'm glad to see "Remastered" as part of the press release. The reproduction of the previously-not-reprinted issues in the "Best Of" TPBs was terrible.

I've gotten the first five. I'm glad they plan to finally do the whole run. I hope this will include the Yearbooks, Order of Battle and Special Missions. Just not complete without those. One thing I don't like (and hated on the Star Wars reprints) was that they wanted to stick so close to the originals they didn't even correct obvious typos or miscoloring. I would be ok with those kinds of corrections.

I'll be glad to get this, as well as the fifth volume, which I never could find prior to IDW.
Definitely want to see Special Missions and the others (yearbooks, etc) as well, at some point.

This is great news. For me, this is really when the comics were firing on all cylinders. If IDW can get reprints up through #100 I'll be thrilled.

I have the original Marvel collections vols. 1-5, so I'm definitely excited about this. One thing I've been wondering though, has anybody compared IDW's vols. 1-5 to the Marvel versions? Are they exactly the same or might they be better scans/printings worth upgrading to?

It has been so long since I bought volume 5 from Marvel. I can literary say I have been waiting years for this volume! Can't wait to have the complete series in trades.

I never bought the first reprints since I knew they weren't going to finish them. But I've heard the new ones are better.

I've got the complete Marvel run, but I'm still excited by the reprints. They are easier to read and not to have to worry about being careful with them. I can leave them with my 5 year old son to flip through the pictures / learn to read. These are our bedtime stories! We are on issue 24, and it takes us about 3 days to get through a comic. I do wonder when and how the Yearbooks are going to get folded in. They are pretty critical to the continuity.
I agree that after 100 it starts to drop off, but Hama was still amazing as he was having to deal with some very signficiant changes in the toy line which were not plot friendly. I got out of collecting the toys and the books about 1990ish, so I've read the later part from an adult perspective, knowing how the line evolved and ended. Larry didn't have that perspective, so its all the more impressive. |
