The double dip is the bane of the collected editions fan's existence. The upgrade is a never ending chase to experience a story in the finest “fidelity” possible. It's the comic book equivalent of being an audiophile. Collected editions are a curse, but so too is the femme fatale...

Since
this was a double dip and reread, I turn you over to my reviews for
Volume One and Volume Two of the trades to see what I thought at the
time. This held up every bit as well on the reread years later.
Junk
Food For Thought rating: 5 out of 5.
The
OCD zone-
This
is the part where I go into tactile sensations and materials used in
physical media. Those with heart conditions, high blood pressure, or
women who are pregnant should exit my blog at their earliest
convenience, as their safety cannot be guaranteed beyond this point.
Paper
stock: Thick coated stock with minimal glare.
Binding:
Sewn binding. I dislike the squared spine found on so many hardcovers
these days. While they look pretty on your bookshelf they are less
enjoyable to handle when you actually read your books.
Hardback
cover notes:
Image printed on the casewrap. No dustjacket required. The coating on
the casewrap is matte and is resistant to scuffing.
