More Red Ronin!

Marvel is releasing Essential Godzilla in January, reprinting (in B&W) all 24 issues of the Marvel Godzilla comic. $20, 432 pages. A bit more expensive than the usual Essentials volume, but I suppose the license fee has to come from somewhere (or it presages a price boost for Essentials in general).

Glomp!

Hmm.

My guess on that would be (hopefully) that it's only due to the fact they will most likely have a much smaller print run on the book, and the cost reflects that extra percentage. I can't imagine that Godzilla (and I intend no disparagement to that fine radioactive beast) has as much of a consumer pull as an Essential Spider-man or Fantastic Four tome.

Although a minor price hike on the Essential volumes wouldn't bother me too much. I pick them up sparingly as it is (saving my money for the Ultimate hardcover collections), but the ones I do pick up are certainly still a value at $20.
