troydivision1 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I don't think BKV is real happy with the commodification of comics, CGC, etc. ... that's just what I've gathered from things he's said ... I think that's why he is more likely to do store signings than conventions with CGC witnesses ... the answers and commentary is pretty funny ... go back and take a look at it ... it's worth your time. BKV loves his fans. Part of what makes him awesome is the fact that he doesn't do the circuit. When he wants, he makes his appearances, he signs and doesn't get upset. While, it is unfortunate that nothing was available for IE and that unless NYCC pulls off a rabbit out of their hat, we won't have an opportunity until next year. But such is life.

krighton Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 i feel a little let down that there's no goodies for those who mutilated their copies and sent that question page in....great read though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeanius Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 i feel a little let down that there's no goodies for those who mutilated their copies and sent that question page in....great read though. Someone got some goodies (including a signed Saga somethingorother) for having BKV's favorite answer to a question. You ripped one page out of the back of a $3 comic book in the hopes of getting...what exactly? You could have just as easily copied the page and sent it in.

kenobiwan Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 hope the story has a good twist, it seems to still be building up the relationships between characters still. Hope it doesn't become cliche. But form book to book its very solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beige Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Sorry to butt in but did I read that correctly that Saga #1 only had a print run of 500 for the first print? I skipped over most of it because I had no clue as to what you were arguing about..... So was it 500 or did I just skip too much? Thanks. PS: some of you chaps get quite jolly heated at times.

You skipped too much. It's the RRP edition that has a print run of 500. I think I read somewhere that #1 had around 70,000 across all printings (but don't quote me on that). In any case, a lot more than 500 copies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelastword Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Greetings, I've been lurking for awhile now, enjoying the to-and-fro and thought I'd jump in with an article I stumbled upon recently.

Balham's Finest Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 It has been, but it's an interesting read and worth a quick re-flag for those who haven't seen it yet. WTTB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You, JJ and many others post a lot of non-Nico related things that I'm interested in reading - I just wish you'd all ignore him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N/A Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I would love to ignore him. I really would. The problem is with the multitude of rumours about modern comics it is often hard to discern the slightly true from the completely out to lunch. Our friend is unfortunately the source of quite a few of these rumours. I might actually believe some of the rumours if I did not know the source. You see my dilemma. Add the fact that once I see him starting a rumour I feel the need to nip it in the bud. It is my shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
