I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

I PO'ed one! After seeing the awesome job Dark Horse did with the He-Man art book I'm really looking forward to this.
I will try to keep this updated as more info becomes available.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

I pre-ordered this as well. The art book is fantastic so I'm really looking forward to this one. Hopefully, Dark Horse has other MOTU books planned.

I agree, a steal! But I should point out that it says" over a 1000 pages of minicomics collected ". But if it is 1120 pages as Amazon states....... This is also one of the situations where the actual value of the book to me will far surpass the money I spend on it

MOTU madness!!! Sounds like more books are definitely a possibility. They had that poll on the org with really no bad choices (golden books, magazines, Filmation, etc.). But this and the art book were absolute must haves. If this comes out even half as good as the art book then..........

Can't wait.

So this would be about the same dimensions as a Walking Dead Compendium, but hardcover? And in full color?

Wow.

Admittedly, those MOTU minicomics were a mixed bag, but I remember liking a lot of the early ones.
