Revol

That is an amazing trailer, so well put together

Wow, thats awesome! Thanks for the info, its going in my CGC pile for sure

100% agree. I think it's the best season so far.

Books like this are garbage. I'll give you my address so you can dispose of it properly. Just kidding. Post some pics. I'm sure some of us would like to see it. Pence copies were printed at about a 1:10 ratio of the U.S. copies, and a double cover would be even rarer. nice try! Here are some pics of my odd version...

I picked up a pence copy of Red Sonja #10 recently. When I took it out of its bag, I noticed it has a double cover (basically the cover & back cover were stapled on twice) Is this a common mistake with this issue? Does it effect the value in anyway?

A mixed bunch over the last couple of weeks for me...

Some gorgeous rooms in here, I'm very jealous. Damn you Americans and your gigantic houses

Looks like 54,415 http://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2014/2014-09.html I'm surprised at the sustained popularity of this issue; glad I kept a copy. Last time I'll put a comic like that back on the shelf when I look at the artwork inside and say "nah, I'll pass". Oh well, at least I have a second printing issue

I prefer the A cover for sure.

3 left in the store I bought it in at lunchtime too. Its certainly popular.

Already picked my copy up the artwork is amazing.

I really wish he would draw more comics. But his pin-ups are out of this world...

It's been a busy couple of weeks...

I think people expected marvel to accommodate the artwork properly. Marvel has been very liberal with where they put the title logo recently, either having the artwork go " over" the title, or making the logo smaller, or shifting it to one side, even at the bottom at times. In some cases making the artwork slightly smaller so its shown fully. It's not like it use to be where the logo stayed in the exact same spot for years on end. They made no attempts to accommodate the art. All they had to do was shrink the image by 10% shift the title up and to the right, like they did on the Oyum variant and you would get most of the art. The could have also shrinked the art 10% and just threw the title to the bottom, they have done this before. They did none of this and planted the title right on top of the " controversy". Looking at the milo variant, it's pretty darn obvious they were trying to cover up her rear. Its so obvious its laughable. I imagine the person in charge of the overlays just floating the title around saying things like " oops, too much crack, a little to the left" Suggesting that it could be shrunk 10% assumes that the piece was not created with the final dimensions of a comic book in mind. If you shrink it, then the art doesn't reach the trim This is the digital age. They could have made it happen, that's all im saying. I'm glad you're not one of my clients. The computer is not a magic box. You can only work with what you have to work with. It's highly unlikely that the artwork was created with a significant amount of bleed, so shrinking it down 10% would leave a gap at the edges. So unless Marvel is going to invest the time to extend the image digitally so fanboys can ogle Spider-woman's , this is not a realistic course of action. I cannot speak to what you are saying because I am not an expert. If you are an expert, kudos to you and I stand corrected. I have seen all sorts of layouts on covers, so I was assuming they have a lot of control over the process regardless of artwork size. I guess they are just investing time into some covers? To be clear, I think they should work on all images to accommodate the artwork, Not for any particular reason for any one cover, like you wisecracked about, but for all cover art. I think its insulting to the artist what they did here, as I would if they covered up any artwork like this. It's sloppy, and lame. That still does not take away that they intentionally placed the logo to cover it up. They can do whatever they like with the logo's, I have provided proof for that already. It's highly likely Marvel would have provided Manara with a Photoshop file of the cover layout, with shows the placement of the logo, barcode box etc. Manara used watercolours for this piece, so from the outset that's not a digital layered file that can be broken up and moved around easily without repainting. Even using the clone tool in photoshop isn't an easy fix due to the textures. Manaras scanned artwork would then be placed within that Photoshop template. That's why I said in a post above, that that placement of the logo could always have been the intention, yet Manara decided to go for the cheeks spread bum pose because he knew he could get away with it because it would be covered by the logo anyway. But Marvel released the raw image, and thats when the story took off.

Thankfully I've never had a bad experience, other than some creators not being very engaging. But we all have bad days. The nicest people I've met though: Gary Erskine - a true gent, really warm and very chatty. Jordie Bellaire - a genuinely nice person, who took time to talk to everyone she met. A class act. Kieron Gillen Declan Shalvey Emma Rios Garth Ennis Goran Parlov - recognized me from getting my books signed and came over to chat to me while he was having a smoke. He's a funny guy. John McCrea

Thanks guys I appreciate the kind words.

A couple of pages from a comic book I'm currently working on in my spare time (very slowly)...

I imagine the person in charge of the overlays just floating the title around saying things like " oops, too much crack, a little to the left" Playing devils advocate here; but the original artwork we saw left no room for a title. It's actually entirely possible that the logo was always going to cover her arse, but when the raw image was released thats when all hell broke loose. Perhaps a little bit of mischief from Milo. I'm happy it's still being released anyway, I ordered it and it's a little bit of comics history. But I can completely understand why it's offensive to a lot of people.

That is a gorgeous cover! I wish Adam Hughes would draw comics again

That sounds awesome, thanks for the heads up!

Hey everyone, another newbie here I'm guessing this place is going to make me spend even more money on comics then I already am
