Good Job! (Tell you about my secret find here in OZ of 1950's DC 10c keys...)

Ask the other Ryan.... And Andy, we thought you would find this........ Amusing. You were correct Ryan - it's like the surviving lemmings running back to the cliff top and jumping again. Not my money. Hey, I'll PM you, I got those Black Panthers back, and I'm having an SA key sale in 2 weeks so I'll give you a heads-up in the PM.

Nice this is picking up steam. Some good stories out there. This, Six-Gun Gorilla and Collider I enjoyed. Looking forward to Black Dynamite as well - if its half as funny as the movie..

So that means he's not invested in his own book? Because he has a day job? Do you realise how many other creators have to spend their evenings and week ends on their book(s) too? Kurtis did until recently. I'm not sure what your point is? The art probably is the issue because it often is. Obviously because Nate is lazy, can't be bothered and isn't invested in his own book. Katchoo, you still remain one of my favorite sparring partners. Ryan : the purple variant.... The one that doesn't exist according to e.s. - YES! That is a And yes, bad publicity is doing a lot for this thread. And yes, don't tell Andy Me? I stopped caring ages ago when speculators and lurkers learnt the hard way not to believe a word someone with a financial interest in their own product says. Stephenson banked thousands, specs lost hundreds. It is what it is. And to me, it's now unimportant. Thanks for thinking of me though, means a lot

I guess everyone has seen this before - but if not, check it out. I think its awesome! http://pindolla.com/walking-dead-airbrush-12-pics/

While we're talking about ES, he has to be one of the most thin-skinned people I've come across anywhere.

Which was the same announcement as last year. Actually, the announcement last year was a potential tv show. The announcement at Image Expo was confirmation the TV show is officially happening. Thankyou - been looking everywhere for that. It's hard to discuss this book for some reason. Is it that some are worried they have over bought, sold too early, have too few - but lets take the $ out of this. TWD - is a world-wide hit. No doubt, and surely no argument from anyone here. PP - I can only assume some haters haven't read it? It's a story 'loosely' based on Peter Pan. The Lost Boys are French resistance fighters - they kill, and get killed. Peter isn't superhuman. He doesn't actually fly. He is just looking for a lost love. The story is told through the eyes of the surviving Wolf Pack, many years later in post-war France. It's a tribute if you will, to the French Resistance in some ways - and as such is a story worth telling. It will appeal to all Europeans who's countries actually underwent that occupation only 70 odd years ago. The WW2 defences still stand in France, England, Holland etc, memorials are everywhere - WW2 is ingrained in the psyche of the European Nations as this happened to them. Of course it has interest. To suggest otherwise is disrespectful of the fallen of all nations. Rememberance day in Europe is huge, just like Gallipoli is to Australia. So, yes, it has relevance to a multitude of people - and the BBC, as said before, do the best period dramas in the world. Peter Pan is still loved by kids all over the world. It still has queues at every Disneyland, the book is still read by millions and is a staple in schools around the world. So it should appeal to young and old There will be a lot of people, who if it is marketed properly, will want to see this. The writing is genius. I am tempted to swap 'boring' for 'not-understood' in a few posts on here. Stick with it. It draws you in very quickly. Now add a comic with only 4814 copies printed (so knock off 1000 as gone forever), and add a thriving readership, add a motion comic starring Wood and Perlman - who have been in hit after hit. The comic will attract publicity from that and a confirmed BBC television series, add the fact that PP will be ongoing further than 25 issues and you have a highly desirable product on your hands. Hate if you want but to label WW2 as 'uninteresting' is quite frankly insulting. I'm invested in this comic and want it to succeed. I have explained why. Perhaps haters could expand their argument for the 'nay' so I and others can understand and not think its just pissy sour grapes because you are not in possession of one. Is this book aimed at kids? Most kids don't give a damn about Peter Pan. Do yours? I've owned 2 #1's and sold one for $220 and another for $265 and I bought them because of speculation from yourself Andy so I thank you for that... But I've never thought that PP was anything special. I read the first 4 issues and found it tough to get past the artwork and unappealing story line. WW2 is not uninteresting. WW2 + Peter Pan in comic book form is uninteresting IMO Not everyone who disagrees is a hater or someone who has never owned one. Just the same as not everyone who defends it has multiple copies or stands to get financial gain such as yourself. Just my opinion And It's welcome James (nice to see you back after quite a while).... hater was a general term, it wasn't aimed at you, Michael or anyone else. It was just a counter position, which I, personally still feel is valid. I'm not a guru - see RIPD for that, but I have a lot of faith in this book.

Oh I do. I bombed on this big time. Win some, lose some. This was a loss. Actually a massacre - I'm giving mine away as doorstops for Xmas.. yup, its that bad.

Perhaps haters could expand their argument for the 'nay' so I and others can understand and not think its just pissy sour grapes because you are not in possession of one. I own 10 copies of #1 (6 of them slabbed), have been reading the series since day 1, and bought the first TPB for my daughter when it came out so she could enjoy it as well - but because I think it's insane to believe this series is going to be bigger than TWD, I'm a hater? :shrug: The motion comic means nothing - I know you want it to be a huge deal, I believe you referred to it as a "volcano" earlier on, but the sad truth is that nobody cares about motion comics. It doesn't matter who directs them, it doesn't matter who voices them, it doesn't matter how "motion-y" they are - they don't pull in non-comic-book people, they don't generate excitement and they're ignored by anyone who isn't already a die-hard fan. The motion comic trailer that came out back in May was linked on a single national website in their Comics section - it didn't even register on the radar of any mainstream media outlet. When Buffy - which is arguably one of the most popular teen TV shows of all time - can't generate any traction whatsoever for their motion comic, what makes you think that an unknown property like PP will succeed in that regard? As for the "confirmed BBC television series", well, I'm still looking for a link to a press release (or anything, really) that actually confirms that the BBC has committed to a full season of PP like you mentioned earlier - even though Wiebe himself said a week ago that no casting or production had happened on the live action show. The only thing I've been able to find, however, is the press release from October of last year. Even in the Image Expo interview you reference above, the "a live-action series in development at the BBC" bit links to that same year-old press release. Care to share the source for your info? Lastly ... Dr. Who is arguably, to your average slightly-nerdy American, the best known of the current BBC TV crop. Series 7 premiered to 1.5 million viewers in September of last year which was the highest ratings in BBC America history. In comparison, TWD delivered 12 million viewers for the season 3 finale. PP may very well end up airing on BBC who, as you so rightly point out, are terrific at historical dramas. It may even end up being a great show, well cast & beautifully produced (and, *spoon*, I hope that does end up being the case - I would love to see this series on TV). But it's never going to rival the TWD phenomenon. Ever. It can't be stressed enough how TWD has been the perfect storm when it comes to value on the secondary market. A critically-acclaimed comic book series that built up a fanatical following over almost a decade. Slow & steady growth in the market which allowed latecomers to get in on the action (and not be priced out immediately due to pre-TV show hype). And a fantastic TV show perfectly timed to coincide with the world's current fascination with zombies. If anyone thinks there's ANY current comic book that's ever going to mirror the ascent of TWD, they're fooling themselves. Thankyou for a well thought out response Micheal. Appreciate you taking the time. Let me phrase it another way - I agree that the viewing figures may be smaller - and PP will definitely NEVER take the world by storm - but that cherished #1, where personally do you think the ceiling is? People laughed at me when I said $500 - and stopped when I sold for $668. I said the same thing for $1000, and, I genuinely believe that is quite possible once the show casting is announced. After that - well, what's the going rate for a comic with probably only 500(realistically) 9.8 candidates on the planet with all the potential that this book has? That's my comparison to TWD - I genuinely (rightly or wrongly) believe that if the BBC series is a success then prices of the 2 books will be roughly the same. For how long? - no clue. But I think it has a shot, especially as 50% of them are owned by boardies here who will drip-feed their release. See - I can do polite

The show is "in development" - there's no guarantee it'll even make it on the air :shrug: For goodness sake man - how many more times? Its not a pipe-dream, it's real. Wiebe confirmed it, in person, on film at SDCC. The BBC has commissioned Peter Panzerfaust to be a Television series. They have committed to a full season. JJ and I may differ on who will be the lead (both have been approached) but it's a done deal. There will be a season of Peter Panzerfaust made and aired. Jeebus man, did Kurtis bump your missus or something as you are so hoping this will fail.

This is an oft overlooked point. With the whiplash-inducing spikes in price (of PP) there are tons of people who have barriers to entry to the high end of collecting. Also, WD had droves of people buying and reading trades who were lured back to the floppies. Finally, I have yet to hear anyone rave about the story in PP. Has it been Eisner nominated? Is it going to go past 100 issues? PP is already a speculator's dream. A couple of times as a matter of fact, because that big time softening led to another buying spree right after the animation announcement. I question the staying power and the long term play. It's 25 issues. I would hope the new-found readership could extend it a bit more, but if it is at the expense of the story - then NO. It's not the motion comic , despite the fact that Perlman, Glau and Wood are signed up that makes this a volcano. It should be on that alone. Look at the history of these 3. Just off the top of my head, Hellboy, Sons of Anarchy, Firefly, Serenity, Green Street, The Hobbit etc etc. These are names any TV series would dream of having! The Walking Dead , I love it, like amazingly so - but there isn't a well known actor in it except Michael Rooker, whos best days were long ago. Andrew Lincoln and David Morrisey are solid English TV actors, who are not known at all in the USA. Imagine a couple of actors in Peter Panzerfaust, the TV series, which Kurtis Weibe has CONFIRMED is a go, being in massive Movies this year, and as main characters. A seriously talented and popular actor has been approached to play Peter.

Sorry Kevin - not even close. There is going to be a huge upswing in prices when the cast is revealed. This will hit WD prices. highly doubt it Purely for interests sake - what price do you designate as "sailed"? $100, $150 ? Serious question. Cheers

This is the only new book that has a shot at walking dead. really how is this book soft? its on fire........ please tell me where the cheap #1 or #2 issues are? I am down with Beige on this one ! walking dead was a 100.00 book for years ! Thanks. Your sig line gives a lot of credibility to supporting my thoughts - bloody nice books you have there mate!

Blimey - someone follow up with the buyer - even for the TPB, that's awesome. But if that's for a genuine #1....how the heck did that happen??

Branget doesn't list on ebay anymore? Then again, I've never followed Jeff's selling patterns or locations so I would be the last to know. How come? Fees I am assuming? What's the difference between ebay and MCS? I assume paypal fees still apply? Genuinely interested.

It's been out 12 months, and already has hit $660+ Lower print run. Motion comic with Perlman,Glau and the Hobbit. Now a major BBC series confirmed. I personally think there is a whole lot more growth in this book. You do not, and I respect your educated decision. I hope I am right, but if not, so be it. Do you own any 'Pie' ? BTW - I think your logo - "eating your moms pie" - is quite juvenile and a poor reflection on you. I hope to god you are under 35, otherwise that's some serious courage needed to go munching. 60 year old Pie. No thanks. But hey, I know the circles you move in, so for your particular trailer park, that's probably the rent.

Any #1's going cheap?

Well, as I have now got 10 x 9.8 copies, that's exactly what I have been doing. Its just my opinion, as its your right to disagree, but small print run, motion comic and worldwide TV series, all confirmed certainly gives this book a big shot at being the next Walking Dead. If I'm wrong, it's only me that is losing out.

One of the best out there. Long may it continue!

Sorry Kevin - not even close. There is going to be a huge upswing in prices when the cast is revealed. This will hit WD prices.

Maybe Lying Cat should have his own show?

Black Dynamite was a very funny film, on the basis of that alone, I'm giving it a go.

Praise be to Allah!! As this is a secular forum, lets praise Buddah as well!
