What Happened?
So now its November 6th. Does anybody know what happened on the Oct. 27th shipping date? When will it ship? I asked friends at Borders, but they do not know.
Guess I sound kind of anxious!

Shipping this week
Diamond has the Magnus HC on their list of books hitting stores this week. Sometimes these lists are wrong, or some books don't make all parts of the country on the same week, but they are mostly accurate.
Now it's reached Sweden as well. Fully agree with you. They have obviously based their reprint on the printed comic books and not on the archival copies of the inks like Valiant did. They have cleaned it up a bit here and there (especially the blacks), but it gives a rather cheap impression.Ryan wrote:I got it today, it's a nice package. I have to say I have mixed feelings about the coloring though. I got too used to the Valiant recolorings.
Funny thing; it's not exactly the original comics they're reprinting. Some pages are from the Gold Key reprints.
All and all a nice package, but much less so than it could have been. I will buy the next volume anyway.

PS, they exagerate when they say the stories are available for the first time since the 60s.
PPS, anyone knows the credits for issue 5? Dark Horse and GCDB don't have the same writer listed.
