I picked this up last week, but haven't really gotten into it yet - it really demands a thorough, attentive reading, not so suitable for reading while I'm falling asleep or in fits and spurts. It looks gorgeous, though, and so far, so good. I can't complain about anything that leads with Henry V. And really: 320-page hardcover OGN for $30? Awesome deal.

The reasonable price had me tempted but I'm going to pass on this one. I like my comics primarily to be fiction, and this looks like it'll go even further than Promethea did into the 'lesson' territory. Maybe if I actually liked Luther Arkwright and A Tale of One Bad Rat as much as the rest of the world I'd feel differently

And in a more geeky, superficial view; it's published as a nice hardcover with a pretty affordable pricetag (considering the volume of work you're getting).

Bryan Talbot writing and drawing. And this could not have been amongst the worthwhile books of the year because...?

That sounds a little more like Declarative Rabbit than Contentions Curmudgeon.

I'm looking foward to it. I finally got around to reading Luther Arkwright a couple of weeks ago and I'm in a Talboty mode.

It's only April and I'm making such a blanket statement! Work with me on this!

I might be missing something, but I don't really see what's contentious about that.
