Dark Horse has been dropping the occasional CGW product over the last few years. There's ombnibuses for X, a couple for Ghost and I think there's a Barb Wire. I've been meaning to breach the topic of whether or not they should be included. I vote no.

Dark Horse also released fancy barbie type dolls of Ghost and Barb Wire earlier this year for $100 a piece.

Not a screaming deal once you add in shipping, but I sent the seller a question asking if the lot included both a full Dark Dominion binder and Plasm binder. It does and I don't have a Dark Dominion set yet (I do have a couple of unopened boxes, though).

Another Plasm binder for the stack, I suppose. Maybe I should declare it a hoard book.

Hell no, this is a great deal.

I don't even have a complete Dark Dominion binder yet...

Do the binders come the back art ?

I don't know if there's any art on the back of the DD binder. I would think there is.

There is back art for the Dark Dominion binder (I have it), I think you had to send away for it the same as the Plasm binder.

Yes, we know that there is back art for Dark Dominion and Plasm (third edition binder having different back art)... the question is whether the binders have it with them in the auction, bud. :thumb:

I'm impressed.

Mostly because a year ago I was a chump and paid cover price for all of those books off the shelf.

Is that Seven book written by Jim Shooter? Or just someone else with the same last name.

Looks like it was written and drawn by Shooter. I think that is one of his aliases. :hm:

I've never seen that Seven book before. Is it a recent publication?

Where did you pick this up from?

For those that don't know, this is the "Kaballah super heroes" book Jim's company Illustrated Media did for Denise Wohl. Miss Wohl used to work for Marvel Comics as a letterer but is more known as a socialite these days. The reason why I ask where you got this is because this book was not released in the comic shops and was generally only available in Kaballah book stores. A few years ago, I tried to buy a large quantity of these directly from Ms. Wohl, but for some reason, she seemed suspicious of me and flaked out on the deal. I still don't have a copy to this day, although there is supposed to be a Seven signed book project coming from the VCS board.

This book is not a recent publication... I have gotten this same book that Brother J is talking about from a friend.

I am REALLY stoked to finally own one of these. :)

I have requested an 'in' on the VCS board but if this project does not come to fruition, I will still have my copy. A signed book might be nice as well.

I can say that I think this book is a VERY good read... VERY good.
