  1. Quick shipping and the well packaged. Thanks.
  2. from a recent interview on Newsarama with Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso and Senior VP, Sales & Marketing David Gabriel about their ‘All-New Marvel NOW!’ initiative: http://www.newsarama.com/20643-marvel-s-alonso-gabriel-talk-all-new-now-branding-new-launches-the-reasons-behind-renumbering.html Nrama: Onto the ‘#1‘ thing. Why is Marvel now renumbering/launching titles so (relatively) frequently compared to the past? Gabriel: We actually spent a lot of time talking about this at our last editorial retreat. People consume their content much differently these days than in the past. Renumbering titles offers us an opportunity to provide readers with an easily digestible chunk of content, not unlike a season of a television show. Renumbering has its critics, but at end of the day we’re much more focused on making good stories than where they fit in a longbox. If you look at the numbers, books sell better after a relaunch. And even if the numbers eventually settle back to where they were after a year or two – that’s still 2 years of retailers selling more copies and 2 years of more Marvel comics in the hands of fans. Nrama: You both are aware that while numbers are hard to quantify, as you say David, there are critics of renumbering. So to play “fanboy’s advocate” for a moment, what do you say to the common argument that if the quality of the titles was there, publishers wouldn’t have to renumber in order to boost or maintain sales? Gabriel: Quality doesn’t always mean big sales numbers. Any publisher will tell you that. Daredevil is a perfect example. Nobody would argue that Mark Waid and Chris Samnee’s title is lacking in quality with all the awards they’ve won. It’s not selling poorly by any means, but relaunching the title for ‘All-New Marvel NOW!’ has almost tripled the numbers on a title that was nearly universally critically acclaimed. And to us, that’s putting a critically acclaimed comic into the hands of more readers.

  10. Questions for Spider-Dan: 1. If the new owner sells to CGC at $3500, are they making a profit? 2. How does this make you feel? 3. Has CGC reached out to compensate for the difference between your sale price and $3500?
  11. Fiona will be many places this year. More importantly, BKV is going to be @ SDCC. Has Kirkman told him how awesome CGC is at private signings?
  12. I thought that too, at first, but then all their bids are passing BINs that are available. Perhaps one eBayer is trolling another? Why not bid on the CGC'd copies? more: http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&_trksid=p2047675.l2565&rt=nc&item=331159673777 http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&_trksid=p2047675.l2565&rt=nc&item=221400454179 this one only features - d***d (72) http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&_trksid=p2047675.l2565&rt=nc&item=221399063866
  13. why don't these two just learn to snipe (or are they shilling)... http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&_trksid=p2047675.l2565&rt=nc&item=181356152403 http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&_trksid=p2047675.l2565&rt=nc&item=271430663345 http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&_trksid=p2047675.l2565&rt=nc&item=161250386107
  14. Good article. Nick deserves FMV on his work. He is awesome.
  15. Am I correct to presume that with Megacon having onsite grading this weekend that all work presently at CGC HQ will be put on hold until Monday?
  16. After reading the letter in the back of issue #5 I downloaded the Ken Burns documentary: Lewis and Clark. Almost done with part 1 of 2. History is cool. Supernatural historical fiction is even cooler.
  17. The final shill bid pushed it up $5, but the shill actually pushed it from $250 to $300, thus the 'true' price should have been $250: 0***d ( 5 ) US $355.00 Jan-27-14 14:57:10 PST 0***j ( 251) US $350.00 Jan-27-14 11:39:09 PST 0***j ( 251 ) US $305.00 Jan-27-14 11:39:09 PST 0***d ( 5 ) US $300.00 Jan-27-14 14:57:05 PST 0***d ( 5 ) US $255.00 Jan-27-14 14:57:05 PST 0***j ( 251) US $250.00 Jan-27-14 00:44:39 PST
  18. Copra bump. Got this via email today: Copra is making its comeback this April and here's a head start on the subscriptions! I'm offering a 6 issue subscription (issues #13 - #18) over at our Etsy store, which serves as a way more efficient platform in which to process your info/orders. Copra #13 will officially go on sale online in a couple of weeks - and will make its debut at NYC's MoCCA fest April 5th & 6th - but you'll receive the comic before all that jazz if you subscribe. NOTE: There are only 100 subscription slots; first come first serve. Domestic orders only. I'll touch base with you in a couple of weeks! Michel Fiffe
