    I pre-ordered a few based on his Vision series and was quite fortunate to pick up a bunch on release day.  Still can't complain with how it turned out---it's just that I really should have held back a few copies.  I really don't know what I was thinking....

     

    I was fortune enough to preorder based on how much I loved his Darkseid War Green Lantern story, still have mine but I almost envy the peace of mind you have as Ive been tortured for months trying to figure out when/if to sell the few sets Ive built.

    Never said Cates wasn't great. I think he is love almost all his stuff.

    On this book I just don't think its readership that pushing the book. I think its speculators following Cates just 2c

    I realize this isn't a popular opinion just judging on what I saw at the LCS with buyers buying as many copies as the LCS
    would let them.

     

     

    Respectfully I have to disagree, I think its the strong followings the writer has built based on consistent quality, as with Mister Miracle.

    I think its a combination of both, but readers are certainly enjoying it if the review and user score aggregates are any indicator.

    I want this to be the case though, so confirmation bias and all that.

    Disillusioned noob here, not sure if I have the right to be pissed with a failed transaction or not.

    So once this multiple man movie was announced, I thought huh, that could be kinda cool, and went out of looking for a copy of his first issues, as I am sure many did.

     

    So I find one on this "atomic avenue" site, VF, 40$, im like cool, and pull the trigger.

     

    The seller waits a few days, and cancels with the explanation she cant find it.

     

    Now I am torn, if I were said seller, I would have shipped. Thats the game right? 

     

    Does this happen often? Is this a seller I should encourage people to avoid? (I wont so dont worry mods)

     

    Just bummed, felt like my first victory at this, and I ate dirt.
