you just want the price held down!

No I just want it to be called what it is, a promotional piece, nothing else. These are digital images from what Adlard has drawn sketches for advertisement for their stories. They have not been "published" as of yet. If they do get published in the WD magazine or anything else, then we can call them "published."

 

+1 - not published.

 

I am surprised by the fact that they will be listed on Splash Page as "make offer". I guess just hoping for someone to be a bit overzealous...?

That'd be my guess so I'm not surprised they'll be listed as "make offer."

I was surprised when this method creeped into non-WD offerings.

What's a four issue mini-series?

Huge Scalped fan so I've been looking forward to more creator owned goodness from Aaron.

Why do they keep prices so top secret?

I suspect posting prices at multiples of FMV would lead many not to "inquire" any further.

Also, so the price can remain a moving target.

Think of them as Lucy, the price as the football, and yourself as Charlie Brown.

Seeing that Alias cover brings back memories. Bendis was an absolute beast back then cranking out Alias, USM, Powers and Daredevil which were all great.

I want that guy to come back.

I don't know how you guys can resist the temptation with the books sitting right there!

 

I feel like I'd experience a little and have to read them. And there's such a sense of excitement and anticipation built in with reading monthly. I'm so envious of the people that got to enjoy YTLM and the Bendis' DD Run as they were released monthly.

I'm a TPB fella now but YTLM and the Bendis/Maleev DD run were monthly EVENTS for me.

I've got the cover to 88. It's the only Ottley page I own.

I'd love to get the cover to 99 one day.

Is Ryan no longer repped by Splashpage? Can't find his art on the site anymore.

GO AWAY!!

Maybe I'm supposed to feel sorry for intruding in your comfy privileged white male bubble.

I'm black.

Sorry, no disrespect TBP!

Just whip em out and measure them already.

 

one of them has a *spoon*.

This all makes sense now. Thanks TPB.

Just whip em out and measure them already.

Dexter's ending...

 

I think that one of the best tv series endings I've ever seen was The Shield.

QFT

I enjoy Big Bang Theory.

It's no Married With Children but pretty good nonetheless.

Did my regular perusal of OA sites and noticed that too. Is this a good book? Are those prices justified?

 

Citizenvain -- it's not a book for everyone, but if you've got an edgy dark "adult swim" sense of humor, it just might be the book for you... Let me know what you think.

Shall do (thumbs u

38?!?!

Link?

Appleby line would be more accurate.

Fellow Canadians eh?

Very cool.

Branuini?

I love Chew. It’s got an original premise, great art and a solid story.

Also love the ongoing Branget/Linguini vs Beige handicap match.

Feel free to direct me to any other threads where they’ve squared off.

Preferably the first one as I love a great origin story.

I read the trades so I’ll take your word for it.

I said near monthly because I regularly check Diamond’s shipping list and it seems to come out pretty consistently.

If I’m not mistaken, Ryan Ottley has been on Invincible nearly as long and maintains a near monthly schedule with Cory Walker providing the occasional fill-in.

He produces consistently great art and it likely reflects the effort he puts in.

I am not bashing Mr. Adlard as he’s a great artist capable of great work. Look to his early WD work and omnibus covers for evidence of that.

It just seems as if he’s resting on his laurels somewhat.

Some arcs are definitely better than others but that's true of many titles.

The one constant has been Ottley's art which keeps getting better.
