3.0 out of 5 stars
Not as bad as the first volume's cover quality. . . ., March 11, 2009
This review is from: Battle Angel Alita 2: Tears of an Angel (Battle Angel Alita (Graphic Novels) (Adult)) (Library Binding)
. . . . but still not nearly as good as it should be. The red "action" logo is still missing at the top of the spine, there are smudges that cannot be removed, and white spots in her hair. The images are still cut off, and the back is still missing an important black bar that makes all the novels seamless when on a bookshelf.
This is definitely a collectors item, but is it worth collecting? If you want Alita to last forever (which I do), then sort of. The print quality is great, like the paperbacks, but without the covers being uniform, it's almost pointless to collect them.
To clarify this, I just want to let everyone know this is not about the story, art, etc, just the binding/printing.
The book is the same size as the trade paperbacks are. It is in hardcover, but the pages were trimmed without the actual art being trimmed; which means some of the art gets cut off at the edges. The artwork/words also seem to sink into the middle of the book's spine (the bleed) if they get to close.
