Follow-up question: Did he do all or most of the interior work? I'm a stickler for consistency.

Check my post before. I'm not sure myself now, from the issue I looked at it looks like he may have done some linework at most. Or just skipped the issue I checked.

It's on his Wiki, too, under "Interior Work". I thought that he simply did all of the Cover A's, and some writing. Other people are credited with art and coloring for all of the issues on Marvel Fandom, etc.

Every issue I've checked has has other people on art, mainly the excellent Stephen Sadowski. So yeah, I think it is indeed his first interiors since Justice. And this time he's not working over another artist's breakdowns like he did in Justice with Doug Braithwaite's pencils (although that was a match made in heaven).

Here's the exclusive print it comes with, followed by an interior page just to show what the book is like. 

 

Something that blew me away, was that he literally hand constructs 3d models to sketch from. Sometimes several times to get the size right for him. I was aware he used human models but not custom figures. That was always a dream of mine, but no idea how to do it properly.

I'm just glad that I'm not the only one whose eyes immediately skipped over everything else in that image, just to land on this.

Honestly, I had something else in mind when I saw this store.

Yep, not what I was expecting as a comic book guy.

Finally got my Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Omnibus, love it, and such a good price!

Also noticed my pre order for Absolute Doomsday Clock has just been charged so it’s finally been released after so many delays.

 Next on the list is going to have to be the FF Full Circle book after seeing the rave reviews. Shame I can’t get that awesome slipcase version but secondary market prices are a bit far fetched.

Woah, you're not kidding. It's $40US brand new, and eBay sellers are asking $150-160 for it already. That's ridiculous.

I got mine for about $110 all-in. Prices seem to be going up-and-down on it and I don't want to get stuck watching it skyrocket.

I don't think that I've seen an Artisan Edition before. Is that simply a TPB of Artist Editions?

You are correct TPB of Gil Kane. Really nice for the price.

Is there a difference between OA and the material collected in Artist Editions (etc), or would it be fair to say that Artist Editions are simply the collection of OA scans?

The Artist Editions that I personally own are just that, beautiful, high quality scans of the original art, complete white-outs, paste-ups, and everything you'd see if you were holding the original piece right in your hands. So, it is "simply" the scans, but they're super high quality and presented beautifully, and come about as close as you can get to looking at the original artwork. They're really nicely made, enormous books.

Ive always heard great things about Walt Simonson’s Thor run. So I went on eBay and track them down.

Also, picked up the flash by Grant Morrison and Mark Millar. I like both writers and thought it would be cool to read, not to mention one of my favorite YouTube channels recommended it.

Last but not least picked up fantastic four full circle. It is absolutely gorgeous! Great story!

Absolute Doomsday Clock has arrived. Beautifully put together as always with these editions.

It reads so much better in one volume. I remember liking it when it was first released but the long gaps between issues just killed the momentum, so much so I was forgetting what even happened.

I miss this type of DC story. The last couple of years have been so poor in comparison. Dark Crisis for example is not anywhere near this level.

If you haven't read Walt's Thor run yet, you're really in for a treat. Some of the best Marvel comics ever.

This looks kind of interesting, though I am not sure I am game for the asking price.

Interesting concept, but I'll pass at that price.
