If they are bought brand new and you get creased pages, return them to where you bought them from!

As for the Slipcases, I am glad that they no longer include dustjackets as they made the books very difficult to remove!!! Have no problem with the actual slipcases

I got my copy today and am a bit disappointed.

The first volume is great.
The second volume is where I have a Problem. I really don't see the need to reprint the story in newsprint style when you already have it in Vol. 1 & I was expecting every page of Mazzucchelli's pencils to be present full size but what we get instead is thumbnails & only a batch

While I only paid £45 for this (up to £79 now) I still am unsure if it is worth that & definitely not the $112 it is listed for on Amazon!

it's £47 on amazon.co.uk, shipping to the UK would be just as much as the book now if using CGN.com!

instocktrades.com It was $62.50 but I had 2% off msrp for being a returning customer. They usually have 50% off msrp the first week of new releases. Packaging is great too.

with the pound being what it is, ordering from amazon.co.uk, including shipping, it only comes to $69.16 if you buy in the US

First time I remember that an item is cheaper in the UK site that the American!

I wish that for the price there was just a bit more content. I know it's not all about the page count - but to me at a certain point that is a factor. When an Absolute Batman is 400 pages for $90 Canadian and some omnibus is 1000 pages for the same price, it's very hard for me to choose an Absolute Edition.
