Awesome! Dragon Bellow would be a good choice, of course. I'd like to see a more recent story at the larger size too; maybe Senso? How about Yokai? :)
Whichever stories are chosen, it will definitely be fun.

Not bad, but I'll stick with my comic store, they did the first Gallery Edition at 65 GBP for me...
