I'm getting mine via InStockTrades.com. Their packaging is superior.
Amazon is sometimes forced to wait two weeks post street date to release some HC books. If Amazon doesn't have it check out IST.

The IST site will not update until the day of release, in this case tomorrow(although sometimes they update in the early evening the day before), or until it's IN STOCK.

I look for it to be posted tonight sometime by or before 6/7pm est

Sweet. I have ordered through them before, but I didn't realize they stocked on day of release.

It's up: 30% off, $17.49 -- http://www.instocktrades.com/TP/Valiant ... /MAR131333" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

vs. Amazon that doesn't have it listed yet, even pre-order...odd. Searched: Valiant Masters Shadowman, got the other Master edtions to show but not Shadowman.

Yeah, same. That's a pretty good deal. Probably better than what Amazon will offer.

Same here. I own the originals; a hardbound copy would be nice but there's sooo much else to spend on in this hobby.

Agreed. I'm not interested in reprints of comics I already have.

I can't help but wonder, if there will be some new Bob Hall Shadowman material showing up in the final Masters reprint of the VH1 run? :? :hm:

I should be picking one of these up on Friday.
There is not a new story included but I'm curious about the intro by Bob Hall and any other features.
Art scans? :hope:
If someone buys one today be sure to post a review!

I own the issues also, however, handling the issues over and over and over again is wear on them that I can avoid by having the HC.
The individual issues have the possibility of gaining in value the better condition they are in, wear/tear would counter that possible value.

Plus, they gauge what they'll do next by how these initial books sell.

I never took to the AK-74. I prefer a weapon that I can easily find ammo for*.

I wouldn't say I'm not interested, just that limited funds in a world of comics I do not yet own, tough choices have to be made.

My LCS has 2 copies if you're interested. They've just been sitting there with a bunch of the old VH1 trades.

I've got the X-O and Harbinger, but still no A&A yet. Keep hoping to run across one. I eagerly await the day when my Valiant HCs stretch across an entire shelf.
