  1. Had a surprise waiting for me on Wed. :ohnoez:

     

     

    Walked into my LCS and the owner smiled and said "Hey! They actually came in" I was confused and said, awesome news....what came in? lol

     

    He smiled and said come back here and help me with these 2 boxes. I headed around the counter and we both grabbed a box each. One had my weekly pull and the other was filled with.......Enormous #4s! Supposedly I had him order a large batch of each cover a few months back and they all came in. I truly do not remember that but was stoked as I wasn't able to snag any online.

     

    Walked around doing this all day Wed :headbang:

     

     

    Was lucky enough to read issue #4 a few weeks back but read it again in hand. LOVE this book.

     

     

  2. And that being said... I can't believe I missed a listing for an Ashcan on Ebay that sold for buy it now at $100... sigh... anybody here snag it? Was on Aug 24th

     

     

     

    I literally had heartburn about it for 3 days when I saw that I missed it. Not kidding, if someone even looked at me funny I was ready to rip their face off.

     

    I could have sworn there were actually 2 of them that sold for around that price but looking back now I cant seem to find the 2nd listing so maybe I was dreaming.

  3. Completely agree with the blurriness this issue.

     

    I asked Matt about this yesterday, and he came back that this issue (and a few before it) he used smaller paper to help get through some deadlines, but that it really didn't speed things up for him and the details didn't scale properly. The loss of distinction in the line work is the result.

     

    He has switched back to regular size paper for issue 11.

     

     

     

     

    Right on! Thanks for sharing this, super cool (thumbs u

  4. Hmmm. The last 7 raw ebay sales for Tec880 going back to 3rd week of August average $48 and only because one sold for $63 [the rest 40ish]

     

    It is still very much a $40-50 book. That's up from a $30 book in late July but long way from solid $80 book. Just my .02 from taking a second to look at the sales.

     

     

    +1 That's what I'm seeing too, if you look at completed sales, not what people want for it.

     

    Keeping in mind that books sell for more at conventions than on ebay for certain books - this book has heated down quite a bit on ebay. Gone are the $80 ebay sales. $100 sold at convention? I've seen one or two - its more of an impulse buy book ATM. Might change if DC decides to issue another shirt.

     

     

    Sure I could see that. Ebay is certainly not the end all, just easiest to track

  5. The numbers for #2 & #3 are inaccurate and shaded low.

    #4 more than doubles actuals for #2 & #3.

    #5 even higher still.

     

    #6 coming.

    3 NYCC Exclusives.

    TPB Vol. 1 in the works.

    48 pg Field Guide well underway.

     

    2 exclusives planned for second arc.

    Alternate cover artists for second arc lining up.

     

    All is well. Steady as she goes.

  6. Sad there were less than 2K issues of #3 per comichron; no wonder no one saw these in the shops. Hopefully we see a nice jump for #4 (hoping for 4K, but 2X might be hoping for too much).

     

     

     

     

     

    Geez. No wonder Diamond dropped the ball....they probably didn't give a rip about an order for 2k books.

     

     

    Zero chance this book doesn't triple those numbers soon.
