400yrs

Bernthal's been great, but his character is almost entirely one-note. He's only slightly different with Carl. How many times can you strike the exact same chord before people are ready to hear the next movement?

The same can be said about the Rick character and his constant waffling. Rick in the TV show is like Dale. Whiny. I'd rather watch something entertaining like Shane who moves things along than a waffler any day. Hopefully, it will start moving forward now.

I don't like the Rick actor. His delivery often doesn't ring true. I wish they would've cast an American in that spot rather than an Australian.

John Bernthal was the best actor on the show. It's going to be interesting to see how the acting is without him.

A couple new additions to my Chew OA collection..any comments would be appreciated

Awesome!

Very jealous of the cover. I love that Amelia and Tony as a meter maid page. I have issue #14 p15 where Colby gets knocked out by Savoy right after your page. Love it!

THE LAST GENERATION OF HEROES IS HERE!

Twenty years ago, the first-ever superheroes debuted without warning and forever altered our global culture! Now, the generation born in their wake fight to claim their place in a world evolved beyond them! Written by Eisner & Harvey award-winner JOE KEATINGE and illustrated by ELEPHANTMEN and POPGUN's ANDRE SZYMANOWICZ, HELL YEAH combines the over-the-top excitement of the original Image Comics launch with modern, innovative storytelling. It all begins with a giant-sized first issue containing a full thirty-two pages of story with no ads for the regular price of just $2.99!

 

 

Just looked at a preview and the art's not doing it for me.

Same. Concept is good. Previewed art... not so much.

Saga on the other hand!

That's an awesome cover!!

Haunt was very different, as that had the McFarlane tie-in.

 

I can't see initial orders being more than say 30-35K. Not a great book for investment, but should ride a long $10 plateau, so there is definitely money to be made. I have it one of my mid-range books, I'm pre-ordering just 10. Many books I take chances on I try to hit that 15 to 20 copy range. This won't be over-ordered, I still think it's a sell-out first weekend it's released, straight to a second print.

Same. Except I'd go a bit lower on the estimate.

If Fatale just did 20K, I'd put this book around 25K-30K and I'd bet on it being a stronger book on the after-market than Fatale.

It has no chance of being YtLM in terms of $, but it's not going to be an Ex Machina either, IMO.

Don't get me wrong. It's a great sale if you can get it. It's just that it's definitely an outlier and there must have been some other reason why they would overpay so much.

It was the only raw copy up at the time. Looking at the buyer's activity, he was obviously quickly trying to put together a run of TWD.

I was a bit shocked when it sold. I priced it that high so that it wouldn't sell. However, I took my eye off the market for the book for about 2 weeks and it was the only raw out there. And the slabbed copies were all slightly higher.

Whenever I put copies of this book out there, I've always priced it higher than the market and it has always sold. This time, I put it way higher expecting it not to sell, but as always, it sold.

Regarding the slabbed vs raw - There are a few things to consider:

1. Already mentioned hatred for slabs among collectors

2. Lack of knowledge on the part of buyers - Some people just may not understand slabbing and don't even consider it because that's not how a comic "should" look. They may think you can't crack them out. Hell, I own slabs, but I'd never crack them open because I don't know how and I'd be afraid to screw up the book. Many people buying TWD are not regular comic collectors and therefore wouldn't understand slabs.

The simple fact regarding TWD is that this book transcends the audience of just the usual comic book nerds. There are people who've never read comics who are loving this book and trying to put together runs of this because they love it. When that happens, we are bound to see some weird ongoings and things that shock us who regularly watch the comic market.

 

 

A zero feedback bidder?

 

Me?

Nope. Paid immediately and positive feedback received after arrival.

There aren't often many copies of TWD 19 out there. And most are graded. Mine was the only raw copy out there at the time. Alot of TWD collectors actually want raw copies they can look at. Imagine that.

WD 19's and 27's you say?

I sold a raw 9.4-9.6 #19 last week for $178 shipped.

#27 isn't really doing much yet. I've moved them for $20-25, but I'm starting to hang on to them rather than sell them for that.

Thanks for the info. Blocked. Is there a list of these type of guys somewhere on this board?

Can anyone fill me in and tell me why Larry's Comics gets such a negative response here? I really don't know.

 

Thanks,

 

Andy

 

He's a racist. I'm sure there are other reasons as well.

 

+1.

 

And he spams the boards.

I don't know why everyone hates Larry around here either. They love him at KKK meetings?

Anyone else getting bored with the book?

I've been 100% behind this book since the early days, but lately......

This stuff with Carl is tough to swallow. I have no problem suspending disbelief, but the recent ongoings have stretched that beyond the point that Kirkman should have.

This is actually a big week for me.

That teaser came out in April, right?

Is USM running with a black Spidey? Gotta wonder if they either bit off Kirkman or if Marvel is gearing up for some kind of lawsuit heading Kirkman's way. Marvel is shysterish like that.

Thanks for the SDCC Chew. The book got here fast and safe from the other side of the country. Thanks!

Great books, but damn has my list shrank.

You will notice that I don't choose pages like most OA lovers. Most guys go for the most technical pages or the action pages or double splash spreads. Not me. I looooove the pages that convey emotion.

Rob Guillory (Chew)

Chew 10 page 21 - My first piece of OA. I liked the scene of them talking on the phone. The hearts around Tony sealed the deal.

Chew 13 page 8 - Second page I'd ever bought. Again, another Tony and Amelia page. This time, they are kissing. AND John Colby is on this page showing some of his typical crazy looks AND the final panel as well as the little Guillory add-ins show the humor in the title.

Chew 10 page 22 - Since I had previously bought the first page above, I inquired on the page after and got a good enough deal on it. I think it's pretty cool that I have the last 2 pages of this issue.

Chew 14 page 15 - My only action page! Mason Savoy taking out John Colby and Tony comforts him. This scene shows a rare caring side to Colby and Tony's sympathy. Love it!

Dynamo 5 Holiday Special VARIANT cover! Love, love, love this! Guillory doing one of the best team books ever. Screw all you guys that didn't buy it!!!!!!

Paolo Rivera

Amazing Spider-Man 638 page 41 - My First Spidey Page!!!! AND it's an ASM page!!!!! This page perfectly captures the whole tone of the OMIT storyline. Heck! It really captures the tone of everything since One More Day (which I liked!)!!!!! LOVE, LOVE LOVE me some Spidey, !!

So who read the latest issue?

 

Last page was definitely NOT what I was expecting.

 

After the thing was revealed, I thought before I turned the page that it could go one of two ways - the way it did or the complete opposite. I honestly didn't know which way it would go. Great stuff.

And yes, I'll be reading the latest issue of Magnus and Solar before the next podcast, ya dink.

 

Sweet. You probably have another 6 months to catch up before you guys record another one. Slackers.

There isn't any legit excitement around the Dark Key line anyway.

Unfortunatley I can confirm there are NOT more than 1,000 out there. I know what was printed. I know what I have. I overprinted to cover a possible damage. If you have a copy you can attest to the pristine cover stock.

 

There are about 950+ in circulation. Mostly by CGC boardies that bought 10 packs

or more.

So then you are holding on to the rest? Why not sell them? Your website says it is sold out.

Yes, the cover stock on these is nice and thick and glossy. It's the kind of stock that looks like when they get bent up from no protection in transit though.

The next show I hosted Robert Kirkman. He agreed to print a variant to Invincible #1. The new version had my shop logo , a cardstock cover & back cover by my pals Rich Woodall & Matt Talbot ( Johnny Raygun) Kirkman let me overprint to cover damages. I printed 1,600. All came in pristine condition. ( the cover stock is amazing)

I always felt there was more than 1K of these out there. I guess this is confirmation.

I bought one of those 10 packs of these you were selling. They came in a priority mailer with no bags and boards or protection. Your packaging is Awesome!!

The hotel hosted a porn show the same weekend.

How was the show?

I bet some of the geeks who were intending to go to the comic show saw the porn show and headed that way instead. Who needs comics when fat geek boys can circle jerk and get rubber ?

Bye bye Chatzilla.

 

So why are Chew prices sky rocketing?

Whoa. You aren't kidding.

Did the third trade come out recently or something?

I honestly have no idea how things will play out after the last few pages in #76.
