UK Definitive Comic collection from Hachette now in Australia

[Paulbot]

Mine came in today as well. First 3 released volumes and the freebies. Not sure why they shipped issue 1 again as I selected to receive from issue 2. Ah well, not too fussed so guess I'm paying $8 for 1/2 cm less of a black border.

Just opened my delivery and it's the same for me. I selected to receive from issue 2 as well on the website, but they charged me for issues 1 and 2 too (with issue 3 free).

Hmm, also some pages of issue 2 (Stormbringer) are joined together and will need me to take a razor to them.

Issue 3 is good. I notice some "IDW" corrections to the Marvel colouring (Soundwave is blue, Seawatch's boat mode looked "wrong", a coloured in Skullcruncher that previously block-coloured) but apart from the solid colours nothing too jarring as edits.

It is weird but cool to see Race With The Devil and Survivors. Weird though for them to then emulate the dot colouring for the UK issues they are colouring for the first time - it doesn't make them consistent with the US stories if you're not using their original colouring.

I'm curious what they'll do with black and white stories that Marvel UK did color in the original run and the collected comics (like The Big Shutdown for example).
