A-DONIS Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 wasn't the print run for #1 2nd 1/3 less than the 1st print? In theary, would that make the 2nd rare? Yep, you've mentioned that a couple of times already in this thread In the vast majority of cases, when it comes to later printings, rare (eg. lower print run) does not equal desirable. Feel free to bring up the Batman 608 2nd print again, but that's the exception, not the rule. dang it.. you're right. It guess it all depends on the series as whole.

My point is that the actual print run is irrelevant - it's a 2nd printing, and hence less-in-demand (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dikran Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Gotta love moderns, this series went from hottest thing since WD to dead in the water all before issue #3 sees the light of day. Can we give it a break and just enjoy the book for what it is, a good read with funky art... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebowski Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Is $130 for a comic that came out a month and a half ago to now be deemed a price that defines "dead in the water?" I would think the numbers are just coming down closer to where they should have been in the first place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can Love this book so far and all of the copies I have I will keep (2 of each one) Probably try and get 1 and 2 SSed. Hopefully this book will keep some value but I doubt it will ever reach WD status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastballspecial Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 So in the last 2 weeks I have been to 7 shops (5 of which are large shops) and one small convention in 3 states. Guess how many copies I have seen of 1 and 2 put together? Counting 2nd prints? Thats right 0. I did see a dealer buy 3 Walking Dead Preview issues though. Dealers were looking to buy no one had any. This book right now is being exchange among a few buyers right now. If it gets press and I dont have a subscription anymore so I dont know if Wizard will pick up on it or not. If they do expect another bump. The print run is below Walking Dead and Invincible when they started out. Even if only horror and Zombie fans sustain the book sorta like WD then it will be a cult hit and sustain some value. This book has decent, but odd art and it is pretty well written. Personally I dont care for it, but I can easily see how its a hit. Just because everyone on this board has a copy that wants one doesnt mean the book isnt hard to get. It just means we are smarter then the average bear. Ebay will flood for awhile hell most of us here are selling there. I dont see it going anywhere yet its too well written, but man its weird.

MR.COMICBOOK Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 oops, I hate typing on my iphone while driving... Per Guillory's website: But, don't panic. On August 5, the first 3 issues of CHEW will be in stores. This is a PERFECT opportunity for new readers to jump on, and for others to catch up. So again, on that date, we'll be releasing: CHEW #1 Third Printing CHEW #2 Second Printing CHEW #3 First Printing I will wait for the trade paperback.

400yrs Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I'm sorry - I read it and thought it was stupid. Just over the top stupid. I thought the whole chicken being outlawed thing was over the top. But then I remembered that this is a comic book we are talking about here. What isn't over the top and unbelievable..... especially if you read super hero stuff? This book is just over the top in a different way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
