So the Mazzucchelli Batman Year One Artist's Edition is sold out already but it looks like some other ones have been added since I first looked. The Paul Smith, Mike Zeck, and Michael Golden AEs are all ones I don't remember seeing earlier today.

Holy deep discounts, Batman! DAVID MAZZUCCHELLI'S BATMAN: Year One Artist's Edition is on sale for just $59.95! I already have it but I'm jealous of anyone who gets it (or any of the other Artist's or Gallery Editions) at this price!

For some reason I'm okay with the Lizard referring to Spider-Man as "Wall-Crawler" but "Web-Head" coming out of his mouth just seems wrong.
