"Icon is that rarest of creatures -- a well-told adventure story that achieves genuine political depth. Highly recommended."

The same problem I got with the Static TPB- High price, If Im gonna spend 20$ on one trade it will probely be with a lot of pages or a volume of Sandman.

The Static trade had 8 issues, same as this one. There's a few trades that's $20 for this same amount of issues or even a lil' less. :confused:

I own the original series and frankly wasn't so impressed I feel the need to own this.

I have little to no interest in Icon.

However....I cant deny that an endorsement from Alan Moore pretty much always means I'll give it a try.

I own the first printing of this, and I thought it was a great book. I would definitely recommend it.

It's the Costume that honestly turns me off

Well I surely will be purchasing it once it's available. I'm looking forward to collecting the series.

Icon is the new Captain Marvel. He'll get a couple of appearances, gather a few more fans* and then DC will try to revamp him and inardvertantly destroy everything lovable about the character

* but obviously too few to get him a successful ongoing

And I try avoid buying such trades.
