Well, this might raise some upset reactions upon posting.
Well we know about the upcoming Artbook releasing in May:
https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/ ... 1683837275
But here's something I've been thinking of since the revealed pages and true nature of this book. It's just rehashing the first movie just with a fancy new coat of paint.
It's more like you can just read the movie in the form of a graphic novel in some way, and it would feel almost the same way as watching the movie. Another problem is that NOTHING outside of this is covered. It's not a collection of development art for the franchise, which would've been the perfect use of the Artbook title. Common AND rare concept art in the same book! I definitely think Insight dropped the ball with this cuz the real book is just getting artists to redraw scenes from the original movie without anything meriting the reappearance. The whole thing looks like it should just be online rather than a full-price book.
And considering that this is before Afterlife comes out, it only makes this feel more of the nostalgia pandering that some critiques of Afterlife were like. A new cartoon in the IDWverse that would be similar to RealGB somehow feels more like a breath of fresh air than this lackluster "artbook".
Me personally, given my rant, I would not buy the artbook.
