Nice corner ding on the back, top left back cover looks well dodgy too.

Mp covers= simplicity personified, but with a distinctive feel that is in complete contrast to semi clad naked girl wielding a scimitar astride a motorcycle that seems to adorn every other book sitting on the shelf (well not quite, but a Supe in some sort of heroic pose certainly does).

In fact, rather than the plainness of the cover deterring potential readers, in a sea of Superheroes, it kind of grabs the eye at the LCS.

Btw, my vote for a t shirt would defo be #12- that shade of green against the white background -one of my favourite covers of th past 12 months.

Pretty soon everything will have a movie deal it seems. How many new titles now do we have in movie some sort of production now? How many are missing from below?

Calling Hulk44, calling Hulk44

Those sketches are just pure genius and goes to highlight why this is one of my favourite books out at the mo

Huh!

Last time I put something up on eBay UK I had to pay an additional 20c a piccie

Must be an eBay US thing.

Dude spends extra for pictures which aren't his product, then puts up a piccie of his wares, out of focus?

Dumb-arse

Agreed mate, it was a very touching scene and certainly developed the pathos towards the characters perfectly.

Very decent of you mate, especially including the shipping on a book well below gpa

Kudos to you.

Well mission accomplished then mate!

So much to applaud about this book Ken.

Probably the book I read before all others, including Revival, Bedlam, Saga, PP, ToT, Harbinger, MHP, Hawkeye et al. LOVING THIS SO MUCH - but not looking forward to the hiatus(booooo)

The delicious naivety of Todd, which also makes him incredibly sweet; the relentless and disturbing pursuit by the father of a washed out celebrity; the mother seeking solace in the arms of anyone who'll show the merest bit of attention; the interplay between Todd and the biggest, baddest MoFo in the prison(holding hands - HA!); the cop discovering the identity of a serial killer because the serial killer had ran out of T.P(GENIUS!!!!); awesome artwork and genuine laugh out loud moments.

I just wonder if we will ever have an unveiling of Todd's face?(probably not)

From the deepest, sincerest bottom of my heart (and this isn't creeping AT ALL), I would just like to say a massive thankyou to you and your completely awesome team.

THANK YOU.

Did anyone find #3 sad?

Both of Todd's parents seem desperately unhappy people.

Still funny though - blanket party - ha,ha

Thanks for the preview, and yes it does look very interesting.

Certainly give it a 3 book go.

Congrats to Hulk for the purchase.

Personally, if I had Seven and a half large to drop on a comic book, I would be looking for an AF15 or something of that ilk, not a comic that is not even a year old(as much as I love Revival)

Gah. I forgot to check my ebay and a thought bubble variant just sold for £27 that I was watching.

Ditto mate, although he had it as a VF

Andy, seriously, get ahold of yourself. Its like talking to an apple sometimes. Im sure Wushu is pround of those books and spent well earned change on them. Stop in everyone's cheerios. You do this all the time. Everyone here isn't as stupid as you suspect and you aren't the wise old sage.

 

 

If NWM is soo good, why are there multiple unsold copies of 2 + 3 sitting on the shelves here in Melbourne?

If you bother to go back 10 pages or so,you will see I offered to buy them and send them over for cover - not one taker.

.

Mate, regardless of whether or not you are into NWM, if there are 2 and 3 sitting on the shelves, you should really be grabbing them for yourself and flipping them to go towards your next silver age purchase

Can't really tell from the pics, but if its like some of mine, the ink seems to wear ridiculously easily along the spine, almost leaving a third, white

Try telling that to Madder Red

Issue 10 can't be the end of you know who, can it?

Surely they will find a way to bring them back/let them survive?

I'm proud to say I stuck by my decision and have not purchased a single copy.

So there.

Irrespective of whether or not you have any speculative interest in the book mucker, I hope you have read it, as it is a cracking book!!

I feel a bit uncharitable saying this, as ES has participated in the boards and been so friendly and generous with his time. But as this is a public forum, I'm going to soldier on...

 

I finally got to read the first two issues, and while there are things about them I like, being honest I'm not sure I would have pursued the series further without the stylish covers and the general buzz around the title. It's read to me as a pretty slow start, and perhaps more critically, I don't yet feel emotionally invested in the characters.

 

That said, I have a fresh copy of #3 still waiting to be read, so I do look forward to seeing where the storyline is going. I can appreciate that it does take a few issues for a title to set up all the chess pieces on the board (Thief of Thieves comes to mind, and it's among my favorites).

 

Thoughts?

 

Same as you mate, as a matter of fact, slightly underwhelmed with 1 and 2, but 3 just blew me away!!

Hmmm, I just put that issue if previews in the recycling bin

#1 was ok, just laying the foundations.

#2 was good, lots of sci-if stuff and stargate shizzle

#3 absolutely freaking rocked!! Lots of interesting story lines to explore, and, best of all, mutant monsters!!!!
