Title: Double Dipping
Review: It looks like comic publishers have fully reached the point where they are now comfortable double-dipping their customers in the same way DVDs are double-dipped (like Sin City, Lord of the Rings). The Ice Haven hardcover book is like an improved, deluxe version of the original paperback comic. When I originally read the comic, the formatting seemed weird: the pages seemed like they should have been presented in a horizontal format (like they are in this hardcover collection). The problem with this double-dipping publishing strategy is that it will scare people away from buying the original comics if they know they are going to get double-dipped later. I know I won't be buying anymore 'Eightball' comics knowing I'm going to get double-dipped later. Should you buy this comic? Yes, if you don't have the original comic. If you already bought the original comic, you'll live without this reprint. But I'd hold off on buying any future issues of 'Eightball.'
Is the review positive or negative?
