## Is this the true first?
The 2010 ten-issue miniseries is the serial first appearance; the February 2011 Vertigo trade paperback is the first collected book. A later deluxe hardcover edition is a separate 'first thus.' Distinguish serial issues, the first trade, and the deluxe edition.

No book-club edition. Later printings of the trade are marked in the indicia. Verify the 2010 serial run and the 2011 first trade printing.
