As they did with Dave Stevens' Rocketeer, IDW has arranged with Marvel to do an Artist Edition of Simonson's Thor run. 
Debuting at San Diego Comic Con, WALTER SIMONSON’S
THOR: ARTIST’S EDITION
leads with Thor
#337
, a groundbreaking issue in modern comics that introduced
Beta Ray Bill and kicked off Simonson’s
legendary run on this fan-favorite title. All the pages in the
ARTIST’S EDITION have been scanned from
Simonson's personal original art to ensure the
highest possible quality reproduction. While appearing to be in
black and white, each page was scanned in color to mimic as closely
as possible the experience of viewing the actual original
art—for instance, white-out corrections and blue pencil
notations.

WALTER SIMONSON’S THOR:
ARTIST’S EDITION ($100, hardcover, black and white, 176
pages, 12” x 17”) will be available in stores in July
2011. ISBN 978-1-61377-038-2.
Supposedly, other Marvel books are in the works!


So, it's like a deluxe packaging of the original art for the issues included...? Can anyone enlighten me further as far as what this will be like?

The pages will have notations and white-out corrections? It seems geared more for those really into the art/art process more than anything else.
