Dork Note: I just saw this posted at Marvel 1980s as an upcoming TPB for September. I really hope they go through with it this time and don't PUCK out!
Here is what I wrote back in 2010 about this TPB which was scheduled to be released in 2008...
...Seriously, Marvel you give us the first #1-8 and then leave us hanging! COME ON! You didn't even run the first TPB through the death of the Guardian! COME ON!

A true classic in several senses of the word. John Byrne was in fine form and the death of Guardian was portrayed very well. He was at the top of his game here. Now all they need is Alpha Classic volume three to complete Byrne's run. I would be greatly satisfied with that!
