Don't forget to order The Cape, Cheryl. It was a great read! Looks to be an ongoing too.

 

Hmmmm IDW site says it's a one shot ?? Is this the same title that has the Joe Hill "finger" cover (that you're going to buy locally?) !

Joe said it worked out so well there is gonna be 4 more issues.

Me too.

Special thanks to Ralph and his Jetpack Comics crew for being so nice to this wild-haired rapscallion on Christmas Eve.

It's a great-little naughty book going fast.

Ralph at Jetpack Comics must be one cool guy to let you have these early

So what's the back cover look like on the "finger" cover?

[NewEnglandGothic]

So what's the back cover look like?

Pretty funny, but I think it's supposed to a surprise to buyers. Joe makes an appearance there too.

[Cheryllynn]

Guess I'll have to wait then - !

What was the lowest and highest printed regular issues of the series so far?

 

I'm not talking about variants, second prints, special editions or reprints either.

[jonjesper]

guessing...

the $1 reprint issue of #1...

 

[NewEnglandGothic]

guessing...

the $1 reprint issue of #1...

Nope, but a good guess. The "Legacy Edition" had an estimated print run of 5,330 copies. The regular editions, I'm thinking of has a print run with 1,640 less and 6,741 more.

By the way Jon, Merry Christmas!

[Cheryllynn]

My guess for REGULAR issues:

 

Lowest: Locke & Key #2

Highest: Head Games #1

 

 

 

[NewEnglandGothic]

My guess for REGULAR issues:

 

Lowest: Locke & Key #2

Highest: Head Games #1

 

 

Locke & Key: Head Games #1 is the highest with an estimated print run of 12,071 copies, but Locke & Key #2 is not the lowest recorded regular edition one.

Caution: this is where I get tricky.

[Cheryllynn]

Is the L&K #1 signed considered a regular edition? !!!!!

Is the L&K #1 signed considered a regular edition? !!!!!

Nope.

Guess #2:

 

Crown of Shadows #3?

 

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Guess #2:

 

Crown of Shadows #3?

 

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Correct!

 

L & K: COS #3 had a slight hiccup when the IDW delivery truck had an accident in a snowstorm. The grey tinted symbiote-like background which had a print of 3,690 copies got out to certain regions first

February 2010 comic sales

...and the the blue tinted symbiote-like background that came out two weeks later had 3,859 copies printed.

March 2010 comic sales

 

 

This is proof positive these are two different books, that came out at two different times right down to the different staple placement, background colors and sales numbers, despite having the same barcode.

 

Merry Christmas Cheryl!
