I've had a ton of luck so far grabbing up copies of the Hastings sketch. I grabbed at least 3 copies at 5 different stores in the last few days.

I read Pax Romana when it came out. Along with Nightly News, Transhuman and Red Mass For Mars and I loved all of the series, but Pax Romana was my favorite. Catholic church time travel and Constantine with tanks and jets. Very cool story.

This one is limited to 1500 so i think it will for sure be a hard one to track down. If you have a Hastings around, it shouldn't be too tough. My Hastings is one of the mid sized stores and they got 5 in.

I should have already left this, but I just wanted to say that you were awesome to work with. Very fast payment and no problems at all. Glad you like the book!

Off the top of my head, I can't think of any AMC original series "hits" before Walking Dead came along, so maybe lightning strikes? Really? Mad Men, Breaking Bad. Never watched either. That's why I said "off the top of my head" Try getting your head out of your ? Wow. -slym Right!? That was super bi-polar.

American Vampire has to be next, right?

Why The Face ? My kids tell me I'm becoming very hip... One of my favorite lines from a TV show.

I'm about to list my #1-#22. 8 of the issues are signed and remarked by Eastman. No 5A though....

I think this is the point of the whole thing. I would have never brought any of this up had it not been for this.

I really want jop to address all this and if there is some explanation, then I'll be very sorry about getting all of this started. However, when you are supposed to be sending things out and you are buying things at the same time that you're telling people you don't have the money to send the stuff out, then I don't see how there could be an explanation.

From what I can tell, he might not be around anymore. His last post was a few days ago and he hasn't read my last PM.

I think from my end, the whole situation is fine. I let people know and a couple of really cool people stepped up with some very generous offers.

Ha! Well, if people want to give me some hell about it, that's their prerogative. No skin off my back. I just thought people would want to know. If for nothing else, than to not have him in the raffle next year.

I think there was a 1 year membership for the gift exchange, which got you into the raffle automatically. For people that weren't in the gift exchange, you just had to donate a gift. I donated some cool stuff. A sketch, a WD variant and a really cool trade. However, when I sent the box, I sent it full of all kinds of other stuff.
