Yeah, I'm not sure I like the way the books are constantly being reformatted. As long as it's still in print, I'm happy.
I have to tell you, though, that Gilbert writes extremely well, both men and women but especially women. His art matches his script perfectly and the combination is pure gold. Believe, I know what you mean when you state that guys can't write girls for shit, but the Bros. are both masters at making all their characters real, no matter what sex or race or age. Give Gilbert's "Palomar" stories shot. You won't be sorry.
