My long responses: My Too long didn't read response (TL;DR):

(-) The book is very similar in concept to Hoax Hunters. I was on the verge of not adding this book to my pull list. But the fact that it's Image Skybound and points similar to the one made by manetteska have led me to give it another try. (-) I love the art to the cover pages this far.

I just read issue #16. It's tremendous. I love the J.K. Woodward drawing in the back. J.K Woodward Art Gallery

I can't wait until the big reveal, although I think we may need to wait a while. After the big reveal, I will re-read the story. It'll probably bring new meaning much like with the movie Trainspotting. Trainspotting spoilers:

BATMAN Scribe Hopes DC Readers Check Out Acclaimed Series REVIVAL I think the relatively short interview with Tim Seeley (link above) warrants reading front to back. But, here are the highlights: " Instead of a survival story, it's a story about death, and about living." "Yeah, absolutely. We knew the mystery, and we knew the ending. And then we sort of developed characters that live in that world and let their personalities dictate where they went.... Part of it was that we wanted to know the origin of this thing, so we would really know all the things it would cause. If we know the ending, then we can set characters up very early to build toward that end." " The monster that is in this story doesn't have a folklore equivalent. It doesn't have something that's been built up before. We wanted to restore actual fear of this stuff by being sort of unpredictable and people not knowing the rules."

Thanks, Jeff Bohn! There lies the problem with Revival. It is weird I didn't get PP though.With PP: I suspect they sold more than they themselves had ordered. And picked customers at random as to who they will sell the book too. I submitted mine pretty early -- there seems to be no rhyme or reason why they didn't fulfill my PP hardcover order. 20-Dec-2013 later edit: Amazon has it available. I don't know what happened to my order. Oh well. I got one now.

I recently learned that Amazon is a very bad choice for trying to get a hold of limited hardcovers. My order was submitted in early November for Revival and Peter Panzerfaust hardcovers. I tried to save on the combined shipping by shipping the two together (PP had a later release date). Amazon never set the Revival hardcover aside. By the time they addressed my order, they were out of the Revival hardcovers. In the end As my option was to pay an extra $15, I never ordered the PP hardcover. I was able to find some Revival hardcovers though (MyComicShop).

One more item:

Revival #15:

I'm on And I feel like Kurtis has barely touched upon Dee's and Violet's character development. Here's a cool graphic I found:

Well-deserved! +1

just got caught up. looks like there is some trouble brewing. Interested to see what that last page of issue 15 leads to. I am unorganized and don't want to dig thru my long boards for Revival floppies. That guy on the last page looks familiar. Was he in any previous issues?

Oh, just submit your books into PGX. Problem solved.

Is there a phantom variant past 10? After Jeff's comment, I've searched & searched and cannot locate one. I preordered the hardcover. But I won't get it until the Peter Panzerfaust hardcover gets released (17-Dec-2013) -- I am saving on the shipping.

I'm reading the Hack/Slash Omnibuses (Omnibie?) right now! Love it! I just picked up the tpb volume one of Hoax Hunters. One of the authors is Steve Seeley (Tim's brother). HH and Hack/Slash will keep me busy until the new issue of Revival comes out in a few weeks.

We share the same tastes. Except I have only read one issue of Chew. I need to get me a run... My : Saga and Chew both do a terrific job in building a theme or joke. Chew, and not to knock John Layman, is terrific at building up to a humongous punchline but it just takes a little more than an issue to do so. For any prospective Chew readers: do NOT stop on issue #1. Many jokes & characters are built up with it all wrapping together towards the end of issue #3. IMO you can fairly pass judgement on Chew after the first three issues.

Five Ghosts is one of the threads I follow regularly. But I missed the previous commentary on ashcans. Thanks for the extremely detailed explanations. (thumbs u

I can take ribbing as long as my questions are acknowledged along with the friendly ribbing.

Now, when you learn what an ashcan is, a novice you will be no more. Ashtray: Ashcan: Previous to today, I felt the need to accompany some of my posts with an 'I am not a smart man' meme because stating I'm no expert does not suffice. I atleast wiki'ed what an ASHCAN is. W00t! No typo that time. I guess I should have learned my lesson last time. Don't try to broaden your uderstanding of modern comics on these forums. Turn to else where (yahoo answers, etc). Go ahead, call me sensitive. It's not sensitivity on my part, no. It's stupidity or arrogance thinking this reply will minimize how often I see people get mini flamed for typos, using the wrong nomenclature or asking a stupid question.

Yo access! Just got around to catching up on the Five Ghost chatter in here. Great info! I never sent my ashcan back and probably will just leave it as is. The first time I had the label changed they regraded it from a 9.4 to a 9.2 so I'm a bit hesitant to send things back now. I just got back my SDCC set which were all 9.8's but somehow they marked issues 4 as being issue 3. So now I have 2 copies that are labeled #3. Looks like I have no choice but to send these back. If you are planning to send your ashcans in let me know via pm. I'm a novice (not expert) but I prefer CGC misprints. Today I learned what an ashtray is. What other moderns have ashtrays in the hands of the public? How much more popular or common is an issue #1's OA than an ashtray?

Apples and oranges. Better story? Probably not. More comedic? Absolutely. I think it speaks to Wiebe's range as a writer.

Aaaaahhh okay.

I either do not concur or I am not picking up what you're putting down.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I only have issue #1 to go off of, but it seems like a raunchy comedy with characters that, in a visual sense, are a lot like Strawberry Shortcake. I can picture every issue being a DD/WoW type quest with hilarious dialogue. I already added it to my pull list (more so because of PP).
