Review: I waited a long time for it and I am very disappointed in this volume, and in the other reviews, many of which seem to refer to other volumes. The ones that praise this volume mainly do so because it's The Phantom, and I agree that you can't do much better than that, but I wish they were put out by a respectable house, rather than Hermes.
Why are the end papers the same in each volume? Would it have broken the bank to use end papers that reflect the contents of that volume (see IDW Dick Tracy or Little Orphan Annie)? And why are so many pages in this volume lacking color? I remember Hermes had the same problem when they did the Zorro comic books. I can only presume they rush the printing without checking to insure color on all the prints. After all, we know they set themselves impossible deadlines, since they never meet them. Seldom even come close. It's unprofessional, and not reflected in the prices, which are, per page, much higher than IDW, Titan, Fantagraphics, etc. Classic Comics Press, a one-man shop, does better work than this. See Casey Ruggles for an example of how it should be done.
One reviewer states that this is the last volume of Sundays, since they are included with dailies beginning in volume 9. While there are some continuities that mix daily and Sunday, there are a lot more that don't. Volumes 9 & 10 of the dailies contain some Sundays (blessedly in color), but there are none in volumes 11 & 12, which go back to dailies only. So I hope there will be more volumes of Sundays, and, yes, I'll buy them, because they're The Phantom, even if the publishers can't be trusted to do it right. I'll buy 'em, and I'll pay these exorbitant prices, but I'll be gnashing my teeth the while.
