Despite some talk about it, I didn't see a thread for this yet... I was going to pass this one up since I already own the material but it turns out they're recoloring this puppy... Quote:  Product Description Considered by many to be the greatest run on Thor ever, Walt Simonson's classic tales of the God of Thunder are collected here-completely remastered from the original artwork and newly colored by Steve Oliffe! And there are too many timeless tales to count: The Casket of Ancient Winters! The death of Odin! The origins of Asgard! The sacrifice of the Executioner! Thor as a frog! The Mutant Massacre! Collecting: Thor #337-355, #357-369, #371-382; Balder the Brave #1-4 Here's a preview of the new colors... I gotta say, this looks amazing. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2011/01/15/ ... r-omnibus/

It looks like it's being recolored, but still preserving the flat style of the era, which is good. I don't like it when they do the heavily rendered style on a comic that was published when that wasn't done.

I thought that the re-coloring of the Kirby stories in the Warrior's Three hardcover was beautiful and added to the story.

Yeah, I think someone in that thread said that it wasn't eligible for pre-orders, only books in stock.

It seemed to differ from clerk to clerk. They had to read the fine print.

I think they exclude certain types of fanboy comic editions. Because those can be stockpiled and there is a ready-made market for them on ebay and at conventions.

My copy shipped today from Amazon.  I've read the material, but don't own any of it. Really looking forward to this one.
