A few thoughts:
— The 336-page paperback lists for $29.99 and is due June 11, 2024.
— The previous release, a Deluxe Edition hardcover, is just about out of print, so this is a good opportunity to grab the fan-fave series if you’ve never read it.
— Yeah, yeah, yeah. The story has been retconned away a million times over by now, but who cares? A good story well told is a good story well told.
