Incase anyone else is interested in the Walden books deal, I called them and they said the Buy 2 get one free deal ends on April 24. They were charging $17 for Sin City #1 and #3 and $19 for #4. So it ends up $36, the same as Amazon for all 3 books. Plus sales tax eats away some of the coupon, so its not much of a deal.

Comics I feel are certainly under rated. I will admit that when I heard about comics I was not at all interested. Because like most people I was naive about the concept about a comic. I always thought that all comics were like archies. And then I shown that comics are like a script to a story. You get to read thier conversations and you get to know what the charcter is feeling and thinking. And you also get a picture. For me I think of it as a movie that I get to read the script for and draw my own conclusions in my head. Most people assume that comics are for children but believe me they are not. Some of the best comics ever written are made for adults. If you are trying to read a comic after seeing the movie sincity is the best one to do that for. Only because it is made in true comic fashion. If you have seen x-men or spider man, they are hollywood box office movies and really have no resemblement of a comic other then the story line. Just remember that a comic is not written the same way as a novel, but rather the unity of art and literature. Sincity is an excellent movie an excellent comic. And I would read the comic if you can get your hands on it. Other comics that are amazing that you should try are Preacher ( which is amazing) and Punisher on max which is totally ment for adults

Any chance of a new story being written anytime in the near future?

Certainly a nice set, but way overpriced, and I feel they're just milking the fans. First they do the 2nd edition paperbacks, and without warning do this a few months later.

I recently saw the movie & it made me really want to read the books. I saw this at amazon. Is that a pretty good deal for the whole collection or should I try to buy them used? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...books&n=507846

This is drool-inducing, but I already spend some good cash getting the second edition reissues. And these are $94.50 a pop over at Amazon. Goddamn...

Those are nice looking but $200 bucks??? Seems a little high to me. I will stick with $75 for the paperback set.

Bought and paid for the 1st set via dcbservice.com a few months back - had to upgrade the TPBs to the oversized HC format. Not that interested in the 2nd collection - I have the Art of Sin City and the stories, for the most part, in the second collection aren't as strong as those in the first.

I never did get around to buying the complete set for 75 bucks at Amazon and am seriously considering the Library editions.
How do they compare? Is it worth the extra dough?
