Already released (month or two ago)! Your local comic store *may* still have it.

Oh. Okay. I haven't seen it in any of the ones I've been to or any of the local Vintage Stocks. That's why I was under the impression it wasn't out yet. Maybe I'll check again. Would it be with the TPBs or in the single issues?

Probably single issue? Mine was in my pull just waiting for me.

Aw I see. I typically look at the TPBs for new reads. Next time I'm at Vintage Stock, B Pop Comics, or Prestige Kansas City Trading Company I'll look for it. In the new releases in the single issue section.

I think I heard that it?ll be out in hardcover with more extras in Dec. I think it was a Diana Davis post or something? Some of those details might not be exactly right, but I remember sort of thinking 🤔 wish I?d waited, but also mentally planning to buy it when it comes out late this year.

I think that's why I was under the impression that the special itself wasn't out yet. I was watching the Talking Joe live stream when she left that comment. Yeah, I'll definitely wait for that edition to come out then.

Thanks. I'll be marking my calendar for the date and checking for it. If I don't find it in store then I'll order it online. It sounds awesome.

The HC is out now, and I?m curious what people think? I picked it up for a second and thought it was worth it for $30?the paper stock is nice and I loved having issue 21?s breakdowns in there.

I ended up putting it down back on the shelf though as I?m still kind of mad that the ?essays<plural>? that were advertised aren?t there.

If anyone is interested in the book, or missed out on the floppy, it does seem well made and the issues it contains are mostly ones I?d be fine reading multiple times.

It has the page-for-page redux of "Silent Interlude," which was released earlier with every page done by a different artist (not essential, but pretty cool). It also has the first high-quality reprint of "Hot Potato" since the aborted Complete Collection series. Obviously, there's the essay. I think we all have the other issues in some form or another. I don't regret buying it because of the new content (although missing that fourth-wall story stings), but YMMV.
