    :facepalm:

     

    This coming from a guy who joined a week ago.

     

    What's that got to do with the price of fish?

     

    Your asking a guy if he minds if he doesnt get paid for the work he does? From what I understand Image writers/artists get paid by the print run size. So if someone pirates instead of buying an actual issue he gets paid less.

     

     

    So what do you think his answer should be?

    Are the creators/artists going to be appearing at any conventions coming up? Been looking but havent been able to find anything.

     

    I'll be at ECCC in Seattle in about a month's time, and apparently so will Nate.

     

    After that, SDCC, then NYCC. Not much beyond that for me.

    Read it. Took me awhile to get over the goofiness. Liked it, though.

     

    Exactly its the goofiness that I enjoyed. This book just struck me as fun. Its weird, sometimes creepy, but I think there might be a message in there from Todd somewhere.

     

    I think we all cheer for a lovable loser. I feel like he is Charlie Brown missing the football over and over again in the first issue made me chuckle several times.

     

    Exactly my thought a Charlie Brown feel where everything goes wrong! Really like how that first issue was, just disappointed how it is only 4 issues!

    I'm pretty sure it's totally against the law to change the price at the register. And it only seems to happen at the great American LCS.

     

    On another note, this is very similar to how some dealers at cons won't price ANYTHING, and then when you ask for a price they pull out their OPG or iPad to look it up. I will NEVER buy from anyone that does this. It is your responsibility to know the market, and to price your inventory. If you can't do that, then don't sell.

     

    There is a store in Ft. Pierce called Big Dog Comics that did that to me a month or so back. Brought a few Walking Dead to the register for $5 each and he tells me he forgot he needed to reprice these. States he will go look at his inventory page for pricing and pulls up MCS and proceeds to tell me they are $25 each. I ask him if he works with Buddy and he gives me a puzzled look. I was polite about it; told him no thank you and walked out.

    No more questions from me.

    Promise.

    That make you feel better Mr Pie?

    BTW - what type of Pie?

    Fruit,meat etc?

    I love Apple and Cinammon Pie. With creamy custard.

    Yumm.

     

    I prefer key lime....Oh and peanut butter cheesecake.

    Oh, hey -- I noticed something else on here I wanted to address.

     

    A few people said that Peter Panzerfaust has the "first appearance" of Nowhere Men due to the preview that ran in one of the earlier issues, but for anyone actually interested in tracking that sort of thing, that's not entirely correct.

     

    There's a book Image published in 2010 called Image Comics 2010 San Diego Comic-Con Yearbook 2010 that is a collection of all-new pieces by everyone in the Image stable at the time. The cover is a unique Walking Dead illustration by Charlie Adlard, plus art by James Stokoe, Ben Templesmith, Joe Linsner, the Luna Brothers, Ian Churchill, Tommy Lee Edwards, Riley Rossmo Mike Allred...

     

    ...and the first Nowhere Men pin-up by Nate Bellegarde, featuring Karen in a "Science is the new rock 'n' roll" t-shirt.

     

    That came out in July 2010, so well before the Peter Panzerfaust issue. We made them available for order to stores post-SDCC, so there may still be some out there for anyone interested.

    Bedlam

    Hey Pike-

     

    I was referring to story content, not covers or value. The overkill of #1 covers for Bedlam was extremely ambitious and presumptive (and as a collector a bit of a turn off - "so you've got a unknown pressumably hot new title and you want me to buy HOW MANY variants right out of the gate??"

     

    We've beat that horse to death again and again. I like that titles like Think Tank and Saga only have one variant that makes it exclusive for die hard fans (and people really chase after them - which is fun).

     

    What is sad is I think content wise this blows Saga away!
