Very awesome - the costumes are really cool too. The sextillion hostess is great.

'Helhelm ECCC 9.8 - pay USD180 and now worth probably less than USD120' Yeah but Oni released a bunch from their site. That said, we'll see where this goes. I'm willing to wait. 300 was way too high to start it, though I bet it would have easily gotten there as its the first on feebay. Everyone wants the next Saga RRP and not sure that's going to happen right away. I'd probably go $150 which means I'll likely not get one (this year).

Well it has begun!

At www.iwanttounloadmycomics.com

Yup, both have roughly 40 and 50% activity with that seller too. Has to be BS

Woooow! If I was to collect SS this (to me of course) would be what I would want out of a Modern. When you look at it though, do you ever squint and wish the signature is from Em?

This will be the most polarizing art yet. I personally don't like it, but then again I didn't like the art before. That said, it fits the personality of the book.

I'm going to sell my car to get this. I don't care how much it is, I'm going to be the first, the first, the first... Then in a year, I can sell it for a little less than I paid for it and buy a nice bike. Suck it losers.

Wow I'm slow tonight, I thought this was about Oni's shipping again. 'That damned Oni Press never packs their books well, yadda, yadda, yadda...'. Hahaha, I'm such a tool.

REVIVAL IS GOING TO TV? Awesome news!!!!!! I'm going strait to eBay while they're still reasonably priced! (Just lending a hand)

Off topic, but I'm free roaming today. Any place stellar here that you would recommend checking out?

Hahaha, no. Typing on this damn iPad makes me sound challenged... I'm on the road most of the week. My nanny has the keys to my office ans slips my books into my office closet so I don't get castrated by my wife for getting a ton of packages while I'm gone. I was in NY yesterday so was going to shoot to Midtown to pick up a copy... Missed opportunity as I'm now in Toronto and have no idea where anything is. I'll have to wait until Friday night. Re the art: totally love it. The colors alone drop my socks.

Ok, so maybe off topic as this is about the comic story, not the cost or OA, but loved 1. Felt very Indiana jones, meets tomb raider, meets Hellboy. 2 wasn't as clean for me. I kept having to go back ant try to figure out: 'are they were going to climb into that hole or was that a big cave, how did all those guys get in the treasure room, was that guy a spider or a dude as the silhouettes looked like it could be either, or why is that panel coming before that panel, I'm lost'. The main bad guy communing with the ghosts felt a little overly dramatic since he was essentially by himself with the spirits - why the super dramatic over the shoulder smile. Overall, while I liked the backstory, the tomb crawl felt pushed. I was excited by the end of 1, by the end of 2 I was a little disappointed. Will keep reading, just crossing my fingers that 3 is a little cleaner. By the way, the first page and a half of 2 with the backstory was really well done.

Sitting in my closet at home... Been traveling... Might see if I can grab one at midtown today. I'm really curious as to what happened.

nice haul, i bet the 9.4 is something internal that got missed. Seems like they usually are Wool hoo! That's awesome news!

When is the next trade coming out? Been buying but not reading... Need me some trades.

Whatever, I'm going to have mine restored 100/99/1 that's me!

AHH, My LCS sent back his order because they were damaged. More power to him, but I was hoping to get my read on. Man, now I'm at a loss.

FAMN YOU IPAD AND YOUR NO FLASH PLAYING SELF!

REVENGE!!!!

Yes. I've posted before that I dug the '70s Saturday morning cartoon aesthetic in the cover fonts and overall design...very Alex Toth influenced. It's one reason the book appealed to me. FG isn't anything revolutionary, but I think it's a fun concept with some killer art. I see skill in the book. The art is a big draw for me, and I rarely buy comics just for the art. Looking forward to the next issue. +1. Pretty much hit it on the head for me.

I would like that RRP, please... Seriously - send it to me... K... Thanks babe.

Did you catch the 2 b/w covers? Think it's actually just the one: QUITELY B&W VARIANT

Larry, that is one juicy cover!

Mine came in and look beautiful. Lucky I guess. The art is incredible... Such a 70s throwback... Much love for this. Where did all of this talent go in the 90s? Seriously - there was such a lack of talent hitting mainstream comics.
