They normally do pay up front and wait. 

On subject of price £100 is not far off the DC absolute editions, the Martha Washington hardback was about this price as well and the same is true of the Walking Dead slipcase GN's.  That said they do tend to have a range of extras to justify the extra price.  Somehow though I doubt an intro by the writer / artist or a signed and numbered edition is going to be forthcoming.  Shame really.

I'd love to see what he'd inscribe on these. Leave Morrison alone with1000 books. ;D

I am going to go for this. It's a lot of money, but a great comic.

arguably £60 is not far off £100 but if you look at some of the hard to find ones such as Planetary or LOEG then well over £100 is not outside the realms of possibility.  Granted it is not that common for initial listings to be that high but some folks have tried.  Personally never paid more than £60 but there is the advantage of them being listed on multiple sites to bring down the price.

Excellent points, well made. However, The Great Lost Work of Grant Morrison is the USP of this project, so you can hardly blame Rebellion for leading with that, even allowing for the great artists whose brilliance made it work.

Re: £100.  When I say it's more than twice what I'd be prepared to pay, that doesn't mean I think it's overpriced.  If I actually had £100 to spend on comics I'd be on this like a Thrillsucker on Burt.  Suck-heil!

Fair points but I'd argue that £60 is quite a long way off £100 for some folk! You're right about multiple sites listing driving the price down though... I'm still having one mind!

I'm hoping to start studying towards a degree in Astronomy later this year, and the coure textbook for that is going to be over £100. It's double the length of Zenith but probably a bit more of a heavy read.  :lol:

What if Grant Morrison buys all 1,000?   :o

Two days ago I ordered the last five progs I need to complete my Zenith collection, and now I find out about this.  I am torn  :-\  £100 is a lot of money.
