The Megatron one looks like Iron Man wearing a bucket.

Also, shouldn't they have the Autobot faction logo all over the binding on the second volume? STOP THE PRESSES!

I love the giant Premier editions' designs but these dust jackets are cool!

That Megatron cover is amazing. I think next to "The Killing Joke" AHM cover this is possibly my favorite pic of buckethead. WIN

And these are just 2 examples of why EJ Su should be back doing the on-going artwork. I really like Don's stuff but EJ just knocks it for 6 every time.

I'm kinda torn on this one. Having already own the two Premiere Hardcovers, I'm kinda annoyed at the idea of having to pay $35+ for a shiny new hardcover for 50%-ish of the content I already own in a book I already paid twice as much for in a book that is already superb.

On the other hand, the draw here is that the stories are to be in chronological order AND the price is already cut in half from the Premiers. I'm guessing that they couldn't do the chronological order in the Premiers cause not all of it was published yet at the time? Or maybe most people prefer their collections bound in the order of publication?

Is there anyone else faced with this situation or just plainly see it as a good thing? I'd certainly like to hear what other people think.
