ThoseBackPages Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 NICE! my 10 are waiting at the shop right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsJustRyan Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Yeah... I ordered 8 but my guy said some were damaged and could only do five. It's all good. I'm mainly using these as giveaways to friends or if someone stops by and is like, "what's good in the comic realm?" I can just throw down an Image First.

WestHamUnited Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Really wished there was OA for the covers, because I couldn't spend my money fast enough if there was. Maybe Fiona will sell you a flash drive with some covers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that this is great news! I've grown tired of reprints diluting the market. I ordered an extra four or five #7s by accident, to add to my usual ten. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krighton Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) i think reprints kill the overall collectability of comics....i don't even think they should release a TPB until at least a solid year of comics is done. Oh and haven't found any Image Firsts so far locally, not sure what's up with that. Edited December 12, 2012 by krighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerThirty Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 i think reprints kill the overall collectability of comics....i don't even think they should release a TPB until at least a solid year of comics is done. I completely and totally disagree on a couple of levels. As someone who supports Saga, I want the book to continue and the best way for that to happen is for as many people as possible to pay for the book. If that means that they are buying it via trade, comixology, etc., whatever. Brian and Fiona will keep writing and drawing the book as long as they continue to make a living off of it. The longer the run is, the better it is for the value of what you own. Also, trades create more customers for the books. Think about the Walking Dead. Even before the show or rumors of the show, a lot of people jumped on board the title because they picked up the trades and loved them. This created demand for early keys... before the show. This can and may make the Saga books that you own more collectable. In sum, more readers = more value for your earlier issues, in my opinion. Reprints and trades help create more readers.

I said.... SAGA! He went out and bought the trade + issue seven and is hooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that we will continue to see trade paperbacks as the series continues, as well as electronic "prints" of each issue, just not reprint after reprint after reprint, ad nauseum.

krighton Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 regardless, glad they're killing the multiple reprints, if nothing else then from a completist perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerThirty Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 i hope they dont make anymore of that variant ! If variants make Fiona and Brian more money and they decide to go that route, I would not fault them at all. People buy them and Fiona and Brian have bills to pay. That being said, it would certainly make my life easier if they only did a few variants, particularly if they're really nicely done :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
