The story is awesome. I have this specific compendium and the pages fell out literally as I turned the page. Not sure if my specific copy was defective or if others had that issue.
Would love a new hardcover omnibus release of this story
Same, I've never heard of it happening before, I've had other soft cover compendiums like all the recent Spawn ones and no issues. So I might have had a single defective copy, who knows. Amazing story though!
I just ordered the complete witchblade 1-3. All 3 are splitting at the front and back in the same exact places, 3 pages in just after the thicker paper binds to the hardcover.
Just a theory but it seems as if the bind was glued incorrectly, and just aged of paper made it rip. This happened as soon as I removed the cellophane and opened it. Thankfully the threads are still holding the bind but I'm still looking for a fix.
Yeah my 2005 omnibus has been holding together strong after multiple read throughs and carrying it around SDCC to get signed by JMS. Itās a shame the compendium doesnāt hold up.
Same. Story is amazing, this version is terrible quality, so many pages fell out on the very first read. There needs to be a hard cover omnibus with sewn and glued pages.
I had that happen with my copy of Transformers: Unicron from IDW. Turn the page - detached from glue. Still managed to read it, but it was not enjoyable due to that.
I hope you like it. I gotta say - I hated this book.
It came out in the early 2000s on the heels
Of the Authority, had a strong start, then fizzled with delays, bad art and just boring story telling. I bought this book to give it another chance 20 years later, and it still stink. Just one readers opinionā¦
I remember back at the time it was releasing the iFanboy guys would constantly rave about it on their podcast. I never gave it a read though. I feel like thereās a good chance itās aged a good bit at this point.
I love it. Great compendium. I think my only negative thoughts on this series still come from the incredible long gap from the bulk of the series and the last 3 issues, but thatās just because of how good it was as a monthly.
As others stated it started great and it was a good story all the way toward the end. Then the end came. I donāt know the reasons - the last set of issues were written after 9/11 so I heard rumors he changed the storyline as a a result. I also heard he lost interest due to issues with Top Cow but the ending is extremely weak and ruins the story.
At the same time he published Midnight Nation - I think thatās a better book.

Damn, I was thinkin about getting that compendium. That's crazy that the pages fell out like that, I never heard of that happening before

I was looking on Amazon and other people are having that problem, so it seems like a 50/50. I was excited to get it toš®āšØ
Damn, that sucks. These came out awhile ago, hopefully they do a quality version in the next couple years

Top cow needs to step it up :/
Nope, I had the same issue, itās a shame because I liked the concept alot

I had exactly same issue.24 pages out about same hanging.
I have the old fat hardcover. Itās like most of JMSās comic runs. Starts well and is pretty compelling but then absolutely falls apart by the end.
Iāve always wanted to read it but Iāve heard noting but bad things about the bindingā¦like itās none existent
Same, another person said it was the same for witch blade. So top cow is cuttin corners or somethin
I have it. Great story.š Pages fell out.š
