Marvel Masterworks TPB

[saildog]

Has anyone picked up the Marvel Masterworks Trade Paperbacks, yet?

I always thought the Masterwork stuff was great, but like the DC Archives a little out of the price range I want to pay for a title I "just kind of like". These are more in my price range, but I can't tell if they are in color. Does anyone know? If they are, that would make them a step up from Essentials/Showcase stuff (which are great, just not in color).

I did get some of the x-men ones, a spidey and a iron man one, they were pretty good reprints of the comics and a nice read but for the extra money that they are to have them in colour I will probably stick with the essentials

i love the Dc showcase, can't wait for the Super Friends one in June

the Masterworks TPB's are the same material from the HB's just floppier.

Thanks for the replies!

Amazon has a few (Spider-Man, FF, X-Men) for about the same price as the cover price of Essentials/Showcase. There was no definite statement in the description regarding them being color or B&W. Now that I know they are in color, I'd say that's a good deal.

Maybe DC will follow suit with something similar.

I have the first Spidey volume like this, but at the time I bought it, I thought the series was exclusive to Barnes & Noble. So I guess these are in wide release now?

^^ Yeah, Marvel just started with FF Spidey and Avengers.
