So this is only for the limited edition version right? Because I was in Boarders yesterday finishing the first volume of Locke & Key when I saw ICON on the shelf. It didn’t have the black sleeve though. It was just S/B/WW with the word ICON printed across it. I told myself that I’d look into it next time I was in the neighborhood. (I go to Boards to read while waiting for a friend to get out of work nearby.)
I’ve only got the stock version (no slipcase or sketch print) but DAMN is it an impressive body of work. Focuses mostly on the Big Three, with a decent slab on Wildstorm and other random pieces, and it’s fun to see his early stuff versus his later works. Would be very interested in seeing a Marvel companion book.
