Those pics are great!

I opened up my Balder cover today (my reading copy). I was simply blown away. This book is AWESOME.

Wong Chu mentioned that he wouldn't be getting this due to the recoloring, and furbathe(monocled)panda brought up the Star Wars Special Editions. I get what you're saying, furba, but the analogy doesn't really work in this case. Those Special Edition movies had tons of superfluous junk thrown into them with the intention of making the scenes more jaw dropping, which I (and many others) don't think was accomplished.

I'd say a better analogy would be when someone went from watching a worn VHS tape of a favorite movie to seeing it on DVD for the first time. I couldn't believe the colors, depth, and details that I was seeing. I opened the Omnibus just to check out the extras (which are GREAT!), and I ended up reading the first couple of issues. What a blast!

My grade: A+++
