I am going to take another trip through WD.....then back to L&K to catch what I missed.

I just finished re-reading Head Games this morning, for the umpteenth time. I can't believe I'm still finding new things after a couple of years it's been out. Joe and Gabriel are comic book creator dream team.

[NewEnglandGothic]

This morning, I'm studying the shapes of the embossed areas on the covers to see if I cut them out they form a map of New Hampshire, to where this actually be happening, like from "John Carpenter's In The Mouth of Madness".

do you guys read invincible as well ?.. that & twd & this are among my top 3 fave series not counting anything marvel or dc

 

[synch]

Did you know...

 

That Locke & Key: Head Games #5 was the last issue of that arc and that the 28 pages of Head Games #6's "Army of One" takes place in between the pages #19-20 in between the times of 2:20am-2:55am.

 

If you get a chance, re-read it in that order. It adds another layer to the eerie storytelling of that arc and makes #5 feel like a "Giant Issue". (thumbs u

 

 

that is weird why would they do that ... Now I want to read it again

[synch]

LOCKE & KEY CROWN OF SHADOWS #3 actually has a pretty cool variant cover as well .... Does crown of shadows actually have the most unique variant covers compared to all the other series ?. I think I am going to go after the #1s for each series & then the True variant covers for the series

Love TWD. Loved early Invincible too. I also read The Goon(when available), Scarlet, sometimes Supergirl, Cursed Pirate Girl, Mouse Guard, various Batman books and Morning Glories off the top of my head.

Okay Gang! I have a puzzle for you.

 

What's wrong with one of the slabs below? Anyone BUT JEREL can answer.

[dhurley]

I have no idea and its driving me crazy ...is it the eye in the light bulb? Red = second print?

[JohnnyDeLicious]

Correct, but what is wrong is that it is not notated as such on the label. Sharp looking books from what we can see though!

[Cheryllynn]

Yay! Perseverance rules!

 

This is the book that Gary bought from me on eBay recently.

For a minute there I seriously ted in my pants

 

What are you going to do with it? Will CGC reholder/label it for free

[Cheryllynn]

Yes, I'll send it back in to have it relabeled. They will reholder for free but I'll have to pay for the shipping.

 

Maybe everyone will be taking a double look at their covers now huh?

[gaz2810i]

It really sucks when CGC makes mistakes like these. I know they rectify it for free but IMO they should easily stump up the shipping, it was their mistake after all.

 

You could always sell it as a rare CGC error variant fully disclosed as a 2nd variant off course but I have seen these mis-labelled books sold as such on e-bay before

[dhurley]

Same thing happened to my WD #2 it was Blue Labeled as a first print...I sent it in for a Kirkman signing and it came back correct as a second print

[Cheryllynn]

I wanted another 9.8 #1 2nd print for my set and I now I have it, although it is disguised. Nah, I wouldn't sell it on eBay because I'm sure there may be a dishonest person out there that would buy it and resell as a first print to an unsuspecting, uninformed buyer.

[gaz2810i]

Selling these mis labelled books in the way that I mentioned is an appalling practice in my opion. I've seen sellers give the error the big sell and for some unknown reason people fall for it everytime, although I am sure some buyers know exactly what they are doing and plan to sell on without the disclosure
