ranx

I've checked my LCSs and can't find a copy...howaboutthat, must be a short print run or somethin

well I do know the cat, he sells them on his website http://www.hoknescomics.com/ he does quite well, of course ever once in awhile he makes a bad choice...I'm lookin at you 10 grand...but mostly he gets it pretty right....his market reports are awesome when he reports on comics selling out at diamond

In other news... The next sign of the apocalypse... Jupiter's legacy #1 1st print was seen in dollar bins around the world...( baht bins in thailand..)

Hi Ranx! All I was trying to say was that the goal, first and foremost, was crafting a good story. Whether the book fit nicely with others or was ideal for collectors was not the driving concern(compared to say, a company mass producing 3D covers...). That said, I personally think this is a gorgeous book for collectors! It's a sturdy cardstock cover that won't bend or crumple, nice glossy paper, and it still fits in an existing mass produced bag. Plus it's perfect bound, which from what I understand generally means it's easier to get a higher grade. So I think there are some tradeoffs that work in both directions here:) Yup I think I was just using you to express my discontent and the antipathy towards speculators...I think I have to say that you should never sacrifice the art to interests of the form/syntax...it would be like an accountant throwing away money so that the books looked neater...

was someone saying Copa was going for good money?

+1 It is good isn't it....but in Canada I have to fight for each copy...I guess titan doesn't believe in reprints?

where'd you get that information from?

what? that's tiny

what...no it ain't nowhere man babies...

might have to wait 9 months or so though...

collectors and speculators do a lot to increase the audience of a book...an escalation in value or seeing your comic book friends hunt for something makes you think there is something good there, maybe.... Of course it could be watson and holmes and no one really understands how that book went up in value... If you want to increase the audience I think it's important to think about what a comic book audience wants.... I think it would be better to say that the necessities of the art trumpted sizing considerations. But I would say that it's a mistake to say that there was no consideration about what collectors would want...

you know it surprises me a little wiebe's range....PP would seem that it would be funny but isn't, and rat queens has real comic timing....I actually like it more ( shhh )

you are aware of course that this comic confounds the bags and boards I have....I mean I'm gonna have to custom make a bag and board and if I ever sell one...it's gonna be the wrong size for shipping... I'm reminded of Wiebe telling me that he made them make all black covers cause everyone was whining about them, how sensitive the were....there is a certain antipathy between creators and collectors, nes pas

so is there any way to see which of the 2 printings of #2 we got?

I asked on their website and they claimed it was the same one that was earlier distributed. They said that the orders was 1,344 to be exact but prior to the orders they gave copies to some stores and retailers that made it almost 2,000 copies of Farlaine Well I got it on good authority ( the horses mouth's sister's friend ) that they changed it a little from the initial 450 samples they gave out....coloring slightly different, the newer copies 'look better'...

the nature of it... you buy the rare and interesting thing...someone talks about it, you talk too

okay but there is an earlier printing that was given out to the comic stores ( 1 per store ) It looks a little different... anyway that one numbers at 450 copies ( I guess not every store got one? ) Anyway definitely talented like James stokoe drawing for adventure time

I got lotsa comics I'm waiting on...clone, rachel's rising, sixth gun, thief of thieves....

brodie troll I mean

I haven't seen it but the guy does have talent.... As if James Stokoe did adventure time...

Fairline what??? This one http://www.ebay.com/itm/FARLANE-THE-GOBLIN-2-first-printing-Oddlands-of-Wug-farlane-com-/400562610928?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item5d436462f0 not mine by the way.... someone should tell him that his shipping is a matter for ridicule...

sorry Farlaine the Goblin....tiny print run...but I suspect your LCS has just put them in the kids section as a curiosity...

I dunno about that, what reports I have gotten are that it's good...so more Outliers.... On my radar right now is the Ghost Projekt NBC pick up....slated to be written and directed by the troll hunter director....this news has not gotten around really yet as the bin prices are 30 times what the recently bought comic prices...maybe everyone's just cash poor after the 3D blitz? Also fairlane the goblin. Apparently there was a one to store promo of 1 and 2 given out to each store...the #1 comming out now is a reprint. I dunno about you guys but I like the art and story, sorta a cartoonish james stokoe....

I guess I don't get the hype around 'joker's daughter appearance' The first appearance is in catwoman 23....and it's not a cameo........ This is like batman adventures 12 and harley quinn Ross cover...you know which one I mean... But at 60 bucks? I'd so trade one of these for the Ross cover of harley Quinn.....

yeah I put it up for 25 thinking...that's outrageous, I mean even Harley Quinn isn't doing that well...
