Looks like we're all getting in on this book.

I'm so close to being done. It's a great series! Right up there with TWD & 100 Bullets for me. I almost don't want to finish it because once it's done its done. It's begging to be developed into a movie.

Total side note, but i have a friend that just gave me the Y the Last Man trades. WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS BOOK SOONER?

So you don't think raws will increase that much? I'm not talking about a lot, but maybe $40-50 apiece? I think the quality has to continue, but I don't see why not considering Saga w/ a print run of nearly 40K has raws hitting $75-90. I think it's going to absolutely drop like crazy in the coming week or so as folks get their bulk orders back, but hold steady.

Books submitted to modern FT: Received 3/28 They had the holiday and WonderCon, so we'll see what the updates will be like this week.

I'd give photos, but they're all at CGC getting graded I've only had 2 fluke 9.6 submissions with my moderns, and I'm too smart to hope for a 9.9, but they seriously were flawless. I even put back a bunch that were most likely 9.8's because I found so many that were easy locks. These remind me of Fatale's stock, and I absolutely think there will be high grade copies.

Maybe I just got lucky, but the copies i had were really minty. No Saga-like bindery tears, clean edges, sharp, etc.

For a second I thought that was original art.

DING DING DING

Whoa-- Are those frames available online?

Wocka wocka... So i just checked that Liefeld is the source for the 150K print run line. Pass.

Where'd Rob Liefeld come from?

Is this talk of a 150K run legit?

Ahh-- I got in before and ordered 10.

Too much. Make sure you make the order worth it and throw a few copies in there.

Very true. 50k-ish is still small compared to the top selling comics from the big two, and still tiny overall. It actually makes me wonder why books like TWD #1 aren't worth more.

Not saying its official, but wouldn't the word from one of the creatives serve as a decent of enough gauge for the print run?

Ditto.

well, your first paragraph is more evidence that NWM is oversold due to speculation: Nowhere Men #1 11820 Nowhere Men #2 7370 Nowhere Men #3 7420 2nd issue % Drop: 38% That's deep into speculator range AND the book was "overlooked", which triggered the price rise. Saga #1 37640 Saga #2 36890 Saga #3 38900 2nd issue % Drop: 2% Over triple the print run, but 3rd issue passed #1 and the book has been stable and caught fire almost a year later. This is the model that matters, and what I hope to see to know EoW is a stable winner. Obviously the bubble has grown, and 2% is likely unachieveable. Anythign 15% or lower is great. Love this math. Great job. A lot of people fail to realize that there is also a downside to a miniscule print run...in that it is that much harder for genuinely interested parties to FIND and READ. Print run can be an important factor in determining value, but IF AND ONLY IF there is a demand for the book in the first place. IMO, the most important factor is the quality of the book. If the book isn't good, then who gives a damn what the print run is...? If EOW lives up to the early reviews, and the print run increases as the series gains traction and loyal readership, then it won't matter if the print run on issue 1 is 50k+. :: cough :: Peter Panzerfaust ::cough :: I still haven't read 7-10 because i can't even find them anywhere

I doubted Jesus' staying power and his character is the new Michonne.

HIPE!!!!!!!

Not to feed the hype, but it seriously was one of the best #1 reads I've had in a looong time. It

I usually go down to the one on Fulton. It's much quieter. Limits on the new releases, yes, but I scored multiples of mostly every Saga 1st print issue from 2-6 a month ago. Also a few issues of PP #2--6 1st prints. Not bad. You've just got to get lucky.

Nearly every comic shop in NYC is sold out of 108. Midtown downtown had about 3 left.

The card stock on these is pristine, and I could absolutely see a few 9.9's...
