   Awesome. This sounds like it'll be everything I could have hoped for, at
least assuming the video quality is up to par. Thanks for going ahead with
the commentaries, intro, and interview, despite the lack of fee or
significant residuals, I think it will mean a lot to people. I'm certainly
looking forward to seeing all the extras, although of course the main thing
is finally getting B5 in top quality in a form small enough to take home
with me over winter break to show my parents and friends. :-)
   Back to the topic for a moment, though: I missed out on Midnight Nation
(haven't read comics in a long time now), and I noticed that there doesn't
seem to be a trade paperback of it. Is tracking down the comics one by one
the only way to read it? Are there plans for a book at some point, now that
the series is done?

Yup.  The whole thing will be out in one volume in September.  Which is
probably the best way to read the thing.

And Spidey 42 comes out today, about 3 weeks after the last one as we continue
to catch up.
