So yesterday’s tease was pointing to this beauty that arrived today:

The CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS box set which was my treat to myself for working hard on a project in work and getting a bonus to show for it.

And this is gorgeous!

The cover flips down to reveal 14 hardbacks – some of which I have in other formats (the COIE story itself I have in the original comics, the trade paperback, the Absolute Edition, a digital version of the 30th anniversary – and now this!) – some of which are new, especially some of the content in Behind The Crisis, the fourteenth volume.

Who knows, I might even do a full on review of this one day.

I had a bonus in my pay packet this month – my team and I have worked stupidly hard over the last six to eight months to manage the business engagement side of a project to install new software, and we all got rewarded for our efforts.

Sure, there’s stuff I could spend it on to make our new house better (like some shelving so I can get my comics out of storage) but we’ve already budgeted for things like that. This is new, unexpected, bonus money that I can play with, without wondering whether it needs to go toward something sensible.

So I didn’t buy anything sensible.

I bought something that I already own, but in a new package.

And it’s something to do with my all time favourite comic book event.

Should be delivered tomorrow – there will be photos.
