Got mine yesterday!Great book and much more informative than I originally had thought it would be.However, I have to imagine that there will be a Volume 2 seeing as how both Origins and Masterverse are still going…This is getting me excited for Super 7’s “Art Of" book, too!
I’m planning on ordering this over the weekend with some Christmas cash. I did just assume it would be followed up with a volume two. I will be opting for the £45 regular version rather than the £70 deluxe version because it’s apparently mostly an aesthetics thing with some extra rather than a lesser volume.
A supplemental of behind the scenes content like sketches and interviews with the artists would be a splendid justification for the price. As it stands I find the added value frivolous.
I will be ordering mine very soon.
