Books & Comics / Re: Essential Judge Dredd Apocalypse War
« Last post by Tjm86 on Today at 08:17:26 PM »TBH I was looking at this and wondering. Of the different collections we have the options of:
- original progs with colour spreads and b&w pages;
- various and sundry Titan editions in b&w (original sizing);
- mega collection in b&w IIRC (slightly reduced size);
- Eagle comics resized but fully coloured (American newsstand size);
- IDW digitally coloured (reduced to fit newsstand).
For me IDW colours are cracking but those covers? Seriously, what were they thinking? Eagle has a selection of Bolland or Gibson covers. The artist that IDW contracted couldn't hold a candle to either of those. Not using Ezquerra was sacrilege though.
Having said that they did a variant for the first issue with Bolland's classic Block Mania cover fuller colourised, a work of beauty to be sure.
Looking at this, an Ezquerra cover with IDW colours would be my ideal. If I didn't have the IDW version I would have seriously considered this.
