Oh gawd YES!  Love , LOVE these things.
I have the John Romita sr. Amazing Spider-man, the Joe Kubert Tarzan, the Mike Golden GIJOE Portfolio, and the John Byrne Fantastic Four editions.
Flat-out, knock-out fantastic format and reproductions! I still catch myself running my fingers over the pages expecting to feel the paste-up and white out--the repros are THAT good.
The $100-ish price tags are a bite........but I'm okay with it. It does make me pick and choose, because I just cannot afford each of them as they come out.
I tell people that, considering the original pages go can go for tens of thousands of dollars EACH PAGE, from these issues, the Artist Editions are a great value for just around $1 a page.
IDW has something really spectacular and important here, because none of the other publishers have seen fit to archive these comics in this manner. They are not for everyone, but i tell people that if they are at all a study of actual comic book art, then they NEED to get at least ONE of these editions.
