I'm reading the current U.K version (with that awesome Judge Dredd cover), and I have to say it's one of the best comuc guides I have read. There's some gems in there, I've learnt about titles which I wouldn't of known about and have ended up buying/ reading. Great stuff and highly recommended.
Yeah I really enjoyed it and learnt so much about so many, often I'd never even heard of, even though I thought I had a pretty decent knowledge before hand.
Its really its breathe of international stuff that serves it so well. The only shame being many aren't readily available in English... well for an ignorant mono-linguist like me (is that a word, auto-correct seems to think so!)
I can confirm our Spanish friends went with the Dredd cover.

Yeah, it's a cracking guide! I used it as reference when I tested how many graphics novels I could order via Cardiff Libraries. The answer is approximately one in ten so far! I've read some bizarre and amazing stuff thanks to this book.
