Gundam fans can return to the original story arc in style thanks to the recently released Deluxe Editions from Vertical Comics. Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin Deluxe 1 hit stores August 12 and is already on sale for a massive discount. Normally $55, the 880-page hardcover is up for grabs for only $31 at Amazon. Deluxe 1 collects the first two volumes from the 12-volume arc that originally ran from 2001-2011. This is quite the deal, because the original hardcover editions of the first two volumes, Activation and Garma, would cost you roughly $45 combined.
Deluxe 2 released October 7 and is available for $46.56 (was $55). Each Gundam: The Origin Deluxe Edition compiles two volumes, so there will be six oversized hardcovers in all. Vertical Comics is scheduled to publish one every two months, bringing the story to a close next June.
It’s great to hear about the price cut for the Deluxe Edition of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin! This is an excellent opportunity for fans to add this classic to their collection. Looking forward to seeing how others react to this news!
