Received mine today! It's a magnificent collection, perhaps the finest I own. The re-colored pages are a thing of beauty, especially on these oversized pages. Marvel really hit a home run with this one, so kudos to all involved!

I immediately tore into issues #337 & 338, and believe I'll be revisiting this tome on a regular basis until I have completed it (you will not best me despite your gargantuan stature vile book!).

With that in mind... one of the things I often lament as a "wait for the trade" type of a guy, is that I miss out on the experience of discussing newly released issues with fellow fans. However, it sounds as though many of you (like me) are coming to this volume ignorant of its contents (although lured by the promise of quality), and are experiencing this wondrous run for the first time. If that's the case, would anybody be interested in a new thread in which we discuss the book's contents as we read them. It would probably require an impossible level of coordination (getting so many people to read at a similar pace), but it's a thought... from what I hear, there are quite a few surprises in store for us! Should be a fun ride.
