Yes, I have noticed this lately, too. He didn't even speak about his books or anything before, but now he's pumping his books a week before they are released and then every time some variants are out of stock. Same with the Arthur Adams comics he's now promoting. I know I'm bitter because the way he handles his variants lately has left me out of the completionist faction, but I don't like that there's not really some added value now. I still love his art, but this year was the last I could get all of his books. Sad.

Sadly I agree. It's getting pretty expensive to be a Campbell collector, not to say a completionist. Add the fee for international shipping and that they decided not to combine shipping anymore and it goes crazy... it is bad for my wallet. The con exclusives are a pain, too. I like them and would be paying resellers elevated prices. Sigh...

Really? I wonder what happened... and, again, their service sucks now.

No, the service used to be better. Sadly, it's really crappy now. I was one of the first to buy and sent them a couple of emails. I sent another one last Friday, as they escalated to their manager, and the next day I got confirmation from both my orders but no reply from them, which could've saved me shipping costs. As lately the sets are not being sold out, I will see if I continue to buy from the store... love the covers and the guy, but service is not what it used to be.

Campbell only did, obviously, the girls on the right. The rest is Ramos and, even when I must admit I was a great fan, he's drawing worse and worse each day. This cover could've been great, but that MJ looks baaaaad.

I emailed them about combined shipping as I placed my order for the X-Men covers (Gold and Blue) and the Jean Grey set. I have to pay international shipping for each separate order which is $20+ per package and it's an even bigger hit on my wallet (they do not combine shipping anymore). They supposedly put me in contact with one of the managers, but haven't heard back. The Customer Service used to be top notch, but now I'm not feeling that. Also, my order is 191xx and have not shipped, but may be related to my email.

I'd be interested in knowing the prices for international customers once they are defined. This is better than just ebaying!

I get it. It must be to some customers. I usually get notifications right the day they start shipping. This time I have not been notified for the X-Men books yet, but, as I said, it seems the amount of orders is getting out of hand. I also don't like that they do not combine shipping and it is even more of a pain for us who buy internationally and have to pay about $20 each time a book is released. Hope they can work on that, as I don't like to pay resellers unless necessary.

I never really had any problems and my packages arrive well internationally. I do agree that lately, maybe with the number of orders increasing, their customer service has been impacted. I used to receive a nice long reply every now and then, but now they don't usually reply.

He just got engaged and I agree... he can spend his earning in whichever way he likes to. Lately there's been so much hate towards the artist in an appreciation thread.

If you've seen JSC Instagram or FB, I'd say he already has shown some of the cover, including: Colossus, Storm, Old Man Logan and maybe 2 more characters. It looks nice, but $50 is a lot... again.

$500 mexican pesos, that's more or less $25 USD.

Jessica Jones - Decomixado Just in case you didn't know, pre-sale is active. I think this will be the best price you'll get before the Con ($25). They were having some issues with their site, but you may go and check.

JSC did not set the bar and he limboed under that bar with ease. Who are these "flippers"? A lot of the early sales are from dealers who either sell online or even have brick and mortar stores. Well if I see an exclusive from any store or even JSC store, and then suddenly pre-sales in ebay with inflated prices, I would assume they are flippers. As for him, I'm a huge fan of his art and try to buy everything he releases, but when I simply can't afford it I don't buyt it. Easy as that.

He is indeed raising his prices and it's getting, at times, hard for [completionist] collectors like me to buy all his work. I hate flippers, but my only option to try and make a stand is not to buy from them. However, I think that if you don't want to buy his stuff anymore, just don't, there's no need to attack the community or the artist. He is making money from his work, which is all we want to do and I don't blame him, even if in some cases, like this Venom cover, i had to pass due to the cost.

Wow! It was $100... so yeah, tough Year, I think...

Damn! He did increase the price to $200. But now there is an option, not for collectors obviously, described as variant with "some imperfections" for $100. Too bad he's increasing the price to an already very expensive cover.

I've ordered many, many times and always got my books in great condition. However, I must also say that I've never graded any of my books (but I do identify when there are folds, spine indentations or other minor details with the books). For this Gamora cover I've heard that there are some complaints in how the books are being shipped now, so maybe you can also complain directly to their site. I still have not received my copies, but will let you know how it goes. As I'm outside the US, maybe it'll take a month or so. =/

Second Campbell remark Lucky guy!

Damn! He declined

I think so. I know it's all relative to opinion, but I think the cover looks great personally. From a value/collectible perspective I think it's a good buy also. I tried tracking one down before it hit the 'bay with the markups to no avail. Venom #3 1:100 J Scott Campbell SIGNED WITH COA LIMITED Variant pre sale I so hope this person doesn't get one. Same... and if he does, that he never sells it.

If you want to see the first one that has popped out there... look at this video, this guy was very lucky, not sure if he's on this board also:

I have a stack of about 2-3 hundred JSC books I should probably consider grading in the next decade:p I hear you, man! Same case here.

He said some were to be shipped last week, but officially, this week should be the good one. I'm crossing my fingers for a sketch.

I don't blame Dynamite for using variations of Red Sonja #1 cover art for the Red Sonja #0 sneak peek. They're practically giving those away so it's understandable for them to save money where they can. I expect we'll see recolored/full versions of the art used in Vampirella #0 covers in Vampirella #1, too. , what do you mean 3? Red Sonja #1 had the following: RED SONJA #1 Cover A: Nick Bradshaw Cover B: J. Scott Campbell Cover C: Brandon Peterson Cover D: Giuseppe Camuncoli Cover E: Cosplay Cover Cover F Subscription: Mel Rubi RETAILER INCENTIVE #1: (“CVR G 10-COPY BRADSHAW B&W INCV”) For every 10 copies ordered and received, retailers will qualify to order a Nick Bradshaw “Black & White” cover at the net cost of $2.00 each. RETAILER INCENTIVE #2: (“CVR H 20-COPY CAMUNCOLI B&W INV”) For every 20 copies ordered and received, retailers will qualify to order a Giuseppe Camuncoli “Black & White” cover at the net cost of $2.00 each. RETAILER INCENTIVE #3: (“CVR I 30-COPY RUBI B&W INCV”) For every 30 copies ordered and received, retailers will qualify to order a Mel Rubi “Black & White” cover at the net cost of $2.00 each. RETAILER INCENTIVE #4: (“CVR J 40-COPY PETERSON B&W INCV”) For every 40 copies ordered and received, retailers will qualify to order a Brandon Peterson “Black & White” cover at the net cost of $2.00 each. RETAILER INCENTIVE #5: (“CVR K 50-COPY CAMPBELL VIRGIN INCV”) For every 50 copies ordered and received, retailers will qualify to order a J. Scott Campbell “Virgin” cover at the net cost of $2.00 each. RED SONJA #1 CVR L BLANK AUTHENTIX EDITION That makes for a total of 12 covers (1 main/regular and 11 variants). I was just referring to the Campbell covers: regular #1, virgin #1 and zoomed #0. Same for regular #2 and virgin #2. For Vampirella I believe it applies, too: regular, virgin and zoomed. I don't really care about the others.
