Flicked through this in store today. The main selling point is that it includes two stories missed out by the Titan reprints (is the first time IDW have printed Marvel stories Titan skipped).
One is 'The Big Broadcast of 2006'. Alas, the repro is pretty bad on it, especially compared to other issues in the same stories.
The second is 'Man of Iron' which is the horrible recoloured US version and also has some repro probs on top of that. It looks shit, frankly.
Strangely, the version of 'Cash and Carnage' has crap repro compared to the Titan printing. 'Monstercon from Mars' is only represented by a summary. 'Trial by Fire' where Fort Max comes to Earth is included but the Headmaster mini which introduces him and his chums is missed out (perhaps that features in another volume?).
So, you pay your money and make your choice really.

Aw man! Why is Man of Iron recoloured?! What's freakin' wrong with the original?! No way I'm getting this if it has got the wonderfull, earie colouring. Stick wi my Collected Comics from 198whateveritwas!

'Monstercon from Mars' is only represented by a summary. Is that due to the odd Circuit Breaker rights squabble with Marvel? |

Yes. Any issue featuring her has been cut and represented by a summary.
Shockprowl: IDW are using the Yomtov recolour of MOI from US #33-34 where it was used as inventory (presumably the US strip was running late). It always looked shit but add some dodgy scanning and it looks dreadful. I cannot recommend Collected Comics 4 for the original highly enough. Still pops up on ebay. Our very own Kayevcee offered a copy to IDW staffers for free at Botcon to use for scanning and they did not take him up on it.

Saw this today, Man of Iron looks eye-bleedingly bad.

Welcome to the Hub. I wisely skipped it and decided to stick with my original comics and Titan trades.

I actually enjoy Yomtov's colouring. It has that lovely kind of '5 year-old kid is let loose with a pack of Crayolas' effect.
