  1. I've been looking forward to this series more than any other so far this year, but I dare say not for speculation.
  2. Love it! Kinda disheartening that he's so used to people playing it 'safe' with their books that he has to ask repeatedly if it's ok for him to express himself creatively on the cover.
  3. 1. Image Logo 2. Black and White Artwork 3. Timing That being said I love Revival, but in my opinion RR is a better story.
  4. Morning Glories is difficult to keep up with if you're reading the floppies, but it's amazing if you pick up the trades, or wait to read the books in groups.
  5. Midtown has packing issues occasionally, with corners getting bumped either before or during shipment. It really is hit-or-miss with them, so what I've started trying to do is adding a couple of cheap oversized books to my order so they take the hits instead of the books that I prefer arriving in good shape, and it seems to work.
  6. If that's you're buying criteria, you're in for a very dry year...
  7. Normally, yes. But with the plethora of 'scientist'-based books released recently, I find Bedlam a welcome change.
  8. Rachel Rising is fantastic. And so is The Last Zombie - maybe we should have a 'lets save a comic' thread. Don't you already have a load of art and issues of the last zombie. Maybe that is clouding your judgement Terry Moore on the other hand is creating an outstanding book with Rachel Rising and probably deserves it more. No thats a finished mini-series - "Nazi Zombies". The Last Zombie is by Brian Keene and is unrelated. It's on its 5th arc know and will finish up at the end of it. So,no,I don't have anything to do with it - but thanks for thinking otherwise,and trying to score a smartarse point instead of supporting the comic. no need to be touchy, I meant no offence. Seriously, you'd think you we're putting out variants or something...
  9. that was part of the original listing. once a bid is placed the "buy it now" is off the table. At least I'm not the only one...
  10. I've heard that from numerous sources, which bodes well for the book. From my experience, female fans can be extremely passionate about their interests, and it would be a great boon for the industry as a whole to begin aligning more with that demographic, without alienating their current fan-base. I see books like Saga, Morning Glories, The Sword, Mind The Gap, and other non-traditional/non-superhero titles as a good way to do that.
  11. Since we were all caught up on our DVR television viewing and I was hogging the computer, my wife asked if I had anything to read. I handed her an Image Firsts copy of Saga and told her people really enjoyed the story and to read it and tell me what she though. She buzzed through it pretty quickly and when I asked her what she thought, she replied, "Do you have any more?" I gave her my 2nd print of #2 and she blazed through it as well. I offered her the rest of the series, but she was too nervous to un-bag and read 1st prints, so I bought her the TPB off Comixology. She devoured it in one sitting and now can't wait to read the rest. My LCS still has 1st and 2nd prints from issues 5+, so I'll probably head over next week and grab a set for her. Looks like Saga might be the series that gets her more interested in comics as more than just clutter. (thumbs u
  12. Thought Bubble I actually offered $200+ for this one awhile back when I had some loose change floating around, and he let the offer expire, so at least some people (at least two!) think there is still a lot of investment potential left in the book. Unfortunately I'm not in a position where I can offer that much again, so I'll have to continue the search for a better deal...
  13. Humble opinions are often the best, and without constructive criticism nothing would ever improve.
  14. I usually give 6 issues to make a final decision, but I'm enjoying it so far and predict great things to come.
  15. Yeah, I just e-mailed them yesterday about my order, and it shipped today as well.
  16. Still waiting for my Bedlams from them...
  17. Serious question: how did Image leave the future of the story with Larry? I might have missed it somewhere as I'm not a close follower of Bedlam. On release dates - don't forget that Planetary took 11 years to release 27 issues and it's still a fantastic read. Not great for the people who are trying to follow it in monthly form and/or speculate on early issues - but long release dates won't necessarily detract from the longevity of the title. Some stuff is just better read in trade anyway, even if it is released on time - Morning Glories, Manhattan Projects, Walking Dead (if we're talking Image titles). At the moment, the only three titles I'm reading where I feel I've got my money's worth from just reading one book a month are Batman, Batman Inc. and Saga. Adam, Eric Stephenson was on here earlier, and when questioned about the Phantom "deal", said the following. I'm paraphrasing of course. 1) All the Phantom Bedlam work was approved by Image. 2) Yes the group was formed as a result of being rejected by Images first LCS group - The Ghost guys. 3) Eric clearly stated that the issue of variants by LCS groups was not in the long term benefit of Image or their product, and as such would not be encouraged in the future. The future sales being directly influenced by the number of variants on the market - for example #1 - #6 phantom issues - but as Image could not cancel the existing contract - then it is the LCS (Larry) responsiblility to be sensible with print numbers. 4) Eric also 'alluded' - (and yes,I could be biased in this Adam), that the LCS products had damaged their brand,as Eric referred to the NYCC variant by name as being "helpfull" - suggesting that the others were not. Regarless - Eric Stephenson made it 100% clear that this variant saturation will end as of now. I hope its the real head of Image - but who knows. I guess it could be anyone - but he did give away some pretty cool expensive Image exclusive stuff! See, you were right. We can converse politely. (thumbs u You can take from it what you will. Without bias.
  18. As the current high bid, I can't guarantee anyone else's bid, but mine are legit. :shrug:
  19. I concur. They seem to hit the market much less frequently.
  20. As much money as I constantly leave behind, I can't bring myself to purchase more than 2 of the same book at a time from my LCS. One if there are only two on the shelf. I always try to leave something for the next person, even if I know they're just grabbing it to flip themselves.
