I bought the complete set of DU a little while back and was wondering if there is anything the Hardcover has that the regular issues don't. Is the hardcover recommended even if you already have originals?

"Recommended" is too strong. It has an intro splash, with all the gang at Easter Island, and a single page that was left out of issue four, since it was known to be the last issue, so that it wouldn't hang on a cliff forever.

Does the softcover trade include those extras as well?

I think the soft cover trade has the extra page, but not the Easter Island pin-up. Our buddy Dwayne owns that art, BTW. How bout posting it?

Ok, I know nothing about Danger Unlimited except that it's by JB (obviously).

I'd assumed that it was something old, but is it available now? Can I get my LCS to scrounge it up for me? How long did it run for? What was it about?

Help!!! er... I mean, "Fire!"

Dark Horse, mid-90's, four issue mini-series (and a few bits and pieces), I don't know if the TPB is still in print, but you should have no trouble finding one, Kind of an FF vibe, Very good stuff, highly recommended.

Kind of an FF vibe. . .

No "kind of" about it! My snarky remark at the time was "Since no one else is doing the Fantastic Four, I thought I might as well. . . "

JB-)

I just re-read Danger Unlimited a few weeks ago and it drives me crazy that JB created such an elaborate back story that we are never going to see.
I wish the dou-tone would have printed better but other than that it was a fantastic story.

On the phone to my LCS now (and Ebay's my next option!)

Probably find it cheaper on Ebay but you never know.

I hadn't read DU until a few months ago when I got it off eBay. (In fact I wasn't even aware of it when it came out!)

I really enjoyed it and would loved to have read more.

John hypothetically of course, are you free to take the title to another publisher?

Just checked that link and it has the paperback for $14.95.

Over here it'll be at least $35....

Edited to change "it's" to "it'll" ...and to think I studied to be an English teacher... <sigh>

See if that guy will ship to you, and you'll get the Earth Angel book as a bonus. (Its the issues, not the trade, but you've already got the digital Easter Island scene!)

You know, this scene sort of has the feel of those early Kirby covers--with the heroes blissfully unaware of the monsters about to gobble them up--but rendered in a style that's much more highly polished. Nice!
