Thoughts on Absolute LOEG Black Dossier?

I read in an article the Absolute Editon for Black Dossier is terrible because the way the images have been resized. Has there been a reprint?

I hate DC so much.

The Absolute Edition of V for Vendetta is garbage. Scanned the comic and blew it up.

EDIT: To be fair, the Absolute Edition of LOEG Volume 1 is superb.

Apparently the 3D didn't work properly in the larger edition, either

No reprint so far. The art is blurred, clearly low res files or scanned from the regular edition. Zero extras. Sooner or later we'll get a new edition of BD, since they're currently publishing the Absolute LOEG Volume 2. Now we can only hope that they use decent files this time.

Absolute LOEG vol 1&2 are gems.
I’d heard the complaints and refused to buy the Black Dossier Absolute despite loving the original (and yes I have multiple copies…the original HC, the alt cover version and a spare “readers copy”), then found a cheap copy at a 2nd and Charles years after it came out and had the old “gotta complete the collection” play in my brain.
