I probably will upgrade to the HCs. I normally do. I just remember Byrne?s Superman work not holding up so well over time, so I feel less incentive to upgrade. But, again, that said, I?ll probably do it anyway.

Comic artists' books, Essentials, etc. Every foot to two feet I worked in a corresponding statue or bust, with the top of the shelves devoted to antique collectibles, great-graphic 40's board games, old radios & more. It was the soul of the house .... but probably weighed close to a ton. I'm now glad that I shifted to the basement. I have shelves set up down there With my statue collection & my DVDs & horror themed collections, along with my bar. My Hi-Fi is also down there so I can't complain. Yes, my wife is cool. 26 years last week.

Jerry, I also have all my books integrated with corresponding statue. Thousands of HC books, hundreds of statues plus props and art. I’ve got all of this set up in my finished basement of about 1500 sq ft. with wooden bookcases and selves. Can’t even conceive of how much it all weighs.
Congrats on your 26 years. We hit 34 next month.

Sounds like a great set-up, Joe. We just have to remember to keep a dehumidifier buzzing. Congratz on 34.

Well, that is not good to hear... I heard that John Byrne Superman run was the run that redefined Superman for a modern audiance and it was a good run. It looks like this will be another disappointment like Alan Moore's Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow Deluxe Edition. Man, Alan Moore Superman was ultra mega giga overrated, but i think i understand... Silver Age Superman book was so crapy... Oh so crapy... Even the mediocre stuff, Alan Moore wrote shone like the sun after all those crap fest stories.

You may like it, and I probably should go back to give it another try. What you heard is correct, though, that Byrne?s run did redefine Superman for the modern post-1986 era.
