Just got this new LOSH: Great Darkness Saga HC last week and am truly floored at the high quality - for all intents and purposes, this is the equivalent of an Absolute volume/version of these comics. For $40, we are getting:- Reprints of #284-296 of LOSH plus Annual #1. So, a total of 14 issues. And, one of the regular issues (#294) is large-sized.- All of the covers are included.- It's a HC.- The physical dimensions of the book are larger than most other reprints.- The book is reprinted on high-qualtity paper, not the regular newsprint-like paper that many DC reprints use. Going along with this, the art reproduction/color is superb.- Extras including the cover of the original TPB, sketches, etc.DC really pulled out all the stops with this volume. In the past I have been dissapointed with the way DC has handled some of their reprints (i.e., lack of covers, sub-par paper quality, etc.) but this volume shows that they know how to put out a superior product if they want to. I wish all of DC's reprints were handled in this way.The only complaint I have (which is very minor) is that I'm not thrilled with the cover on the dust-jacket. I would have preferred a variation of the original TPB cover (one of my all-time favorite original covers of a reprint collection) - however, I understand that they probably wanted to go in a new direction, which is why the cover art is distinctly different from the original . And, this original cover is included in this volume, which is nice to have.
