The Thing - IDW Limited Fantastic Four Artist's Select by John Byrne

Wait - when did these become available? Looks awesome!

It should go live in a week or two--they're still nailing down the last-minute details. But the books are done and ready to go.

Most of the art JB did are headshots so I bought this one so the ones offered to everyone else were more uniform.

That's fantastic news (pun intended)! And if you could maybe put in a word to JB about restarting commissions, that'd be great too!

Chris,

Thanks for the clarification. Is this a new release to Mr. Byrne's out of print FF artist's edition or a completely new book? Thanks in advance.

Brand-new, but not an Artist's Edition. An Artist's Select book, similar to the recent Layton Iron Man. Full color stories, hand-picked by JB and available (soon) as a signed edition or a deluxe version with a hand-drawn art piece.

It's not an Artist's Edition, it'll be for our Artist Select series -- ull color stories hand-picked by the artist and available as either a signed edition or deluxe edition with hand-drawn sketch included in a separate portfolio case.

These'll officially go up for sale tomorrow 1/29 through @IDWLimited, too. 

Thank you for the info, and congrats on that AWESOME Thing piece! :)

Chris, a suggestion if I may. I believe that in describing/soliciting these artist select editions, it would greatly help in my humble opinion to list the reprinting issues within the books.

You’re right—I’m not sure they didn’t do that. 

Wonderful one!

I have already bought mine,hope the sketch is nice too

Hopefully we get a series of JB books like this. He has so many runs you could do this with - Avengers, AWC, She-Hulk....heck, you could even do an X-Men book, if you think it would sell!
