Spawn 306 Netherrealm Variant Someone lying?
Masakari Prime replied to fastballspecial's topic in Modern Age Comic Books
That's fine, but that's not the story. The event was originally in March 2020 and afterwards they tell Image/Todd McFarlane Productions that the comic that was licensed / made under partnership with them was barely distributed and then disposed of. Fast forward 2+ years later, and they start to distribute them internally? And the original print run is much bigger? There are so many questions here: 1) Why did they tell Image/TMP the rest of the books had been destroyed? 2) Why does no one, from NR, Image, or TMP seem to know how many copies were printed (ie the exact production run)? 3) Suddenly hundreds of copies pop up out of nowhere, 2+ years later, and no one is asking questions? 4) TMP is aware of the market, at least their current Editor in Chief is. Even putting aside "caring" about the collectors and the market, how do you not track and control books made under partnership? It's your books and your valuable IP we're talking about here. I make games and I've had to deal with licensing contracts with full support of a legal team, let me tell you the lawyers themselves keep bashing my head for even putting a dot out of place. There are stipulations in these contracts for everything, including conditions for disposal of licensed product and consequences for failing to adhere to said conditions. My post makes all this sound more serious than it is, at the end of the day it's a comic book. But there are questions here that need answering, the whole situation is strange. -

Haven't bought a Transformers comic since the Marvel run wrapped up in the 90s, but when I heard DWJ was doing the art, it was an insta-pull. Then I learned it was part of some Kirkman-Hasbro shared universe and got even more excited. Void Rivals has been intriguing. I'm wondering how TF, VR, GI Joe, and other Hasbro stuff will fit together, it's rare that I get genuinely excited about new media these days, this Energon Universe thing has tons of potential.

Spawn 306 Netherrealm Variant Someone lying?
Masakari Prime replied to fastballspecial's topic in Modern Age Comic Books
Doesn't seem illegal, just unethical. They were free to grab, so he didn't steal anything. The whole thing is strange. Blaquebox (Spawn's Editor in Chief) hangs around the subreddit and I even asked him directly about this last year, I remember that quote from above. Whatever went down he had no idea of the real print run, nor that they hadn't been destroyed. Found the thread: For clarification, that guy didn't take three dozens, he took 20-something and sold 18 of them at the time. -

Spawn 306 Netherrealm Variant Someone lying?
Masakari Prime replied to fastballspecial's topic in Modern Age Comic Books
I tried posting about this on the Spawn subreddit either late last year or early this year. Someone there was messaging users trying to sell lots of copies of this book. His story was that many of the books weren't destroyed and someone at the company still had them. One day they just put a tower of these on a coffee table at Netherrealm and told employees could grab them for free, this person apparently grabbed around 3 dozens of them from the table. He tried selling me copies at $2000 each. Glad I didn't take him on that offer. These types of shenanigans are why I'm now quitting the variants game and selling most of my Spawn collection. -

Just submitting my Gunslinger Spawn #1 signed, I got linked to the "normal" submission form via email but I remember King Spawn was using a different Signature Series online form. Which one is it? Specially since the regular one makes me insert my credit card information again and then rejects it for whatever reason, even though it's on file already and has been used twice. Dunno what that's about. -

Love the cover, grabbed all 9 variants of Gunslinger #1. And once again my shop secured me the 1:250 incentive for the same price as before, 250€ They have also revealed the main cover by Greg Capullo for The Scorched #1. Capullo also posted the raw pencils on Instagram, which I'm sure will be the 1:50 Incentive. -

They are doing the same thing, including the 1:50 sketch and the 1:250 signed. Unknown if it has the same CGC 30-day certificate. I expect The Scorched #1 to be the same. I've seen that asked around. IMO this is a more cohesive, intertwined take akin to the DCU or Marvel 616. Most of the 90s titles didn't interact with each other, weren't set in the same time Era or were straight up not related to Al Simmons continuity, someone had a Spawn idea that sounded cool and ran with it. Now he's trying to make a common world with multiple characters running around in multiple books, all spun from the main Spawn ongoing, where events in one book can affect the world and it's consequences are felt in another book. I expect (and hope!) they eventually do an X-Cutioner's Song or Siege of Darkness style big crossover between all books. -

Probably not, I still respect he's trying to do it. And even if 10 years from now only Spawn and another one of the books remains, he will have doubled his ongoing titles. They have been introducing the characters since #300, but it's been a bit all over the place lately, each book has to find it's voice and it remains to be seen how intertwined the entire line will be. -

Yeah, they are awesome. Been buying comics from them since 2018 and they've always treated me super well, they know I'm their "Spawn guy"! -

Oh, thank you for the info! They sold it to me for €250. It's not cover price but it's not bad. -

Got all the covers, my LCS is very cool and just sold me the 1:250 for what they would normally charge for it. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to do my first ever CGC Submission. The instructions say to email the SS Team but the only email I could find was for "Sam Peterson" in the SS Noob Thread, is that it? -
As I've been going through my collection of comics, finally replacing polybags + regular boards and going completely Mylars + Fullbacks for all books both past and future, I was reading the How much does slabbing add to actual value of non keys? thread and I started thinking: Isn't the logical conclusion of comics conservation to have everything in Slabs? Even just-released issues? Does anyone even do this, as it is such a costly endeavor? I've been looking at getting better versions of the McFarlane AMS run, but considering all the care I will have to put into conserving them so that degradation is minimal over the storage time (and Mylars go a long way but aren't the only factor), and also considering that the older the book the harder it will be to find good versions (ideally NM) that upgrade the ones I have, wouldn't getting the entire run in slabs be the ultimate way of having them in my collection and not worry about conservation over time while keeping value high?
