Monster adventures on the high seas!
Just got it yesterday and my review =)
There were no crazy ass typos this time. Overall it was pretty good.
BUT!!
Someone needs to fire the graphic designer. Really. The cover looks like shit. The printing is horrible, just like the first cover. I don't know what source material they're using to print from, but compared to the original cover, the Dark Horse cover is blurry, washed out, and looks like ass.
The interior of the book is printed darker than the Japanese version. That's fine, except for when you have the black and white printing of Miura's watercolors. Some of that is so dark, you can't tell what's going on in some of the panels. And Vargas has a bizarre blemish on one of the pages. I know, Vargas has a hell of a lot more than just blemishes, but I'm talking a blemish that looks like a printed hole in the page! Bizarre. Finally, I really hate the fonts. They use too many different ones, and sometimes it really sucks.
The slug count called Zondark his "daemon." Wouldn't he be apostle spawn? I can't complain too much about translation because I dont know enough Japanese, but those of you translating on here can tell me why they chose daemon, maybe? It sounds silly.
My complaints are mostly of an artistic nature. Maybe I'm too picky. It's not so bad that I won't buy the books, but maybe I will write a letter. That they'll probably throw in the trash. Oh well.
