Great way to consume the series. Big fan of oversized collections. The extras at the back with extra lore stuff was fun, but it’s not a reason to pick up this version versus others, absolutely the thick stock pages and large format is the only real reason. 

I really liked both collected trades in this and have been told it only gets better, so I’m pretty excited to see what the series has to offer if this isn’t that great. Some better dialogue and less tropey interactions/story beats could easily turn these books into 5 star reads, for me.
