More Red Ronin!

[dvandom]

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.

Not just more Red Ronin, but Red Ronin's origin. Nifty!

So tell me, Dave, were you a fan of Red Ronin and the Shogun Warriors (either toy or Marvel comic) before the Transformers came along?

Oooh.

I wonder if any of the other late 70s/early 80s licensed-but-in-the-MU titles will be considered worthy of this kind of treatment. I wouldn't hugely object to an Essential ROM...
