I've been pondering should I buy this. I have the Man of Steel in two
versions already, that is Man of Steel tpb and Finnish magazines. But I think
the amount of bonus material is the key factor here.
Last year Man of Steel came as a tpb in Finnish but I didn't buy it because I
already have Finnish magazines. But it's published twice in Finnish (in 1987
and 2025), which means Byrne is yet a quite big in here as well. We also got
a collection of JB's Fantastic Four stories (I think it's same as FF Visionaries
#2) and the Dark Phoenix Saga. Mostly these have also been published in
Finnish already (there was one or two stories in FF tpb that were firsts), but
apparently nostalgia sells and Byrne is the best.

Yeah, the bonus material is what sold me. I’ve got the MOS hardbacks of
JB’s run and a year or two ago found a first print TPB that looked new right
out of the box that I bought for a song. So I didn’t really NEED this one.
But…

I’ll admit I sometimes roll my eyes at people who buy multiple editions of the same work—then I remind myself how many copies I have of THE LORD OF THE RINGS!

Your eyes would roll all the way around if you knew how many editions of your FF I have. I even made a custom vol 0 of the John Byrne Visionaries FF before Marvel went back and made theirs...
