Stuff of Legend #1

[carcrawfordfan]

This book is getting a lot of buzz and it comes out on Wednesday. You guys should pick it up if you have a chance. I am pretty sure Diamond is sold out of it.

I'm looking forward to it myself, picked up the FCBD issue and quite liked it.

Stuff of Legend from Th3Rd World Studios

 

Comic Summary:

(W) Mike Raicht, Brian Smith (A) Charles Paul Wilson III

The year is 1944. While Allied soldiers storm a beach in far-off Normandy, in a child's bedroom in Brooklyn, a small group of toys loyal to their human master fight an unseen war to save him from every child's worst nightmare - The Boogeyman. Discover the series that Frank Quitely (All-Star Superman) says is 'a real page-turner. Economical, effective storytelling, with both story and art complimenting each other perfectly, and hinting at something darker.'

Sounds pretty interesting. When does the first issue come out?

 

[carcrawfordfan]

It should be live this Wednesday. I am not sure what shops ordered it, but the print run was under 6000 books and I think Diamond is sold out already.

[shortstack comics]

Yah, I just checked my LCSs incoming orders for this wednesday and its not on there. Is this a Miniseries or a new ongoing?

[ripclaw923]

it's a two issue series, but if that does well i believe there will be more to come.

[shortstack comics]

I'm pretty interested from the previews... I know my local shops aren't getting (mycomicshop.com). Any way somebody out there could snag me a copy if they can get an extra?

They have stated it will be 3-2 issue miniseries and then extend from that point (depending on demand, etc.). One of the artists is local and going to be signing copies at one of my LCS this Wednesday. I think the book is going to sell really well. It is 110 pages or so for only $4.99 and everyone seems to like the content.

[BlahBlahBlah2007]

Just so you know guys Th3rd World Studios are selling directly.

 

There is a 'boogeyman edition' limited to 100 copies for around $15, not sure how many is still available...sounds cool.

[carcrawfordfan]

That edition is sold out. Could be a really big book one day. Lone Star has them in stock right now and is limiting to 1 per order. I am not sure how many they even have in. Better get one if your LCS isn't getting it....just my 2 cents.

[carcrawfordfan]

Just got back from the signing....It was the designer/colorist and he was pretty cool. I picked up the last 3 copies of the Bookeyman Edition (#d 100 and uncut edition) they had. It is a really cool cover and I dig it. Check out this book if you have a chance. Here is the Boogeyman edition----

 

[carcrawfordfan]

These were hand numbered....does that mean a green label from CGC?

[A-DONIS]

Maybe :shrug:

[yellow954]

I picked it up this morning, I like it. Its not the type of book I normally get into but I think the concept is cool...

[Comic_Diva]

Happy Birthday Yellow!

 

My LCS ordered a few copies, I got the last one off the shelf.

[yellow954]

oh wow , thanks much appreciated!!!

Boogeyman Edition is sold out on their website, but they still have over 900 of the regular edition issue #1. Just ordered some myself.
