  1. Contest of Champions was among the first books I got, but man, Morituri was some kind of awesome! Great idea!

  2. Shame that Parallel Lives isn't being reprinted in it's original format.

    Loved those original Marvel Graphic Novels, preferred the format to that of a standard comic that's for sure.

    I think I read someplace that some of the Spider-Man Graphic Novels are set to be collected into a Marvel Premiere Classic. Parallel Lives didn't make the cut for that book?

  3. Actually, I believe it will be included in the Marvel Premiere Edition HC
