Summary: great comics, poor publishing
Review: I've been reading PVP for some time now online, and decided that it was time to a) give something back to Kurtz and b) get some new bathroom reading. Having the comics in dead tree form is great, but unfortunately, the publishing job is awful. I recognize that paper is the most expensive part of the printing process, but it would've been nice if Kurtz or someone at Image decided to spring for some larger gutters. It's impossible to see the end of the strips on the left hand pages and the beginning on the right hand pages without cracking the spine. And this is definitely the sort of book that will lose some pages once the spine cracks. Overall, I'm glad to have it because the material is great, but the physical book itself is pretty poor quality.
