Nice to see you posting again, SM!
I went to London Film and Comic Con yesterday so still haven't had a chance to really dig into the book but I flicked through it. The bulk of that huge package was the fancy-pants Alien cover. Very very cool, very heavy. The book itself is still pretty damn thick - bigger than the Vault. Lots of super cool artwork by Locusta - didn't see much of John's before I had to put it away but what I saw of John's artwork was really nice too. Lots and lots of extra goddies - can't wait to read Space Beast.
Hopefully I'll get to start reading tonight - still got to pack everything away. And once I've read it and previewed it, should also be doing a podcast with Locusta towards the end of the month.
