Wushugushu Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Is there a certain time of year that is best to send comics for grading? Do fast track submissions in spring/summer take a little longer due to all the cons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsJustRyan Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Summer con season puts a strain of things (at least it did last year). Just keep subbing (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wushugushu Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Havent even sent my first batch off yet - keep getting minor delays with certain issues. Maybe I should just stop waiting for my perfect first sub and send the ones I know are good to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mg1902 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I imagine the satisfaction of getting 9.8s back that you've subbed yourself is pretty good compared to paying a premium on eBay. The wait would be torture though. Planning to do my first ever submission next week. Let you all know how it goes in May/June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cujobyte Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 "You got CHOCOLATE in my PEANUT BUTTER!" "You got PEANUT BUTTER in my CHOCOLATE!!" This is, without a doubt, the highlight of my trip to ECCC: Bedlam + Saga RRP = two great tastes that taste great together. Fantastic piece Court!!! And great pick up spacy!

jjeanius Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Saw some mighty strong pages of Riley art get picked up at ECCC I noticed that as well. Lots of great new art available all at once. I seem to recall a really choice example or two in your possession (perhaps that's where you saw them "picked up").

ItsJustRyan Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 For those that haven't seen the cover to five.... (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeanius Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Do. Not. Like. Man, the 2nd print cover (?) to issue 5 is SO MUCH BETTER. IMO, more people would be picking it up for a look if they went with the Rossmo covers. The Irving covers just do not work...for the content of the book, or as marketing on the shelf. This is also the weakest attempt at incorporating the Madder Red mask into the art. Way to force the smile with a big pink chain that otherwise has no relevance to the cover image whatsoever.

ItsJustRyan Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I agree 1000% - I prefer the Riley covers myself - #3 (2nd print) is much better than the first... They all are (1-3) IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeanius Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hopefully issues 4-6 all go to 2nd prints just so we can see the Rossmo covers. The one solicited for #5 is amazing (Doc with his hands on Madder's brain). Haven't seen a Rossmo cover for issue 4 yet (other than the variant), so...hope we get a nice surprise there.

awakeintheashes Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I'm indifferent to it, but I think you are onto something, Court. There are a bunch of 2-4's on the shelves at the two shops I frequent the most. Based on what sells at both those shops, I figured this title would do well. Doesn't look to be the case yet. Maybe better cover art might spark some curiosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsJustRyan Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I'm putting together a 2nd print run of this series as well. I think a 1-6 run of slabbed 9.8 Riley covers would be sick. How awesome would it be to have the first and second print run all 9.8. I'm think I'm there. Haven't got in my #3 2nd prints yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjeanius Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I also think that the drab gray/pink color scheme on each cover hurts. Nothing that makes the cover "pop", and since they all blend together, it can be hard to tell them apart unless you are paying attention. Very easy to forget which drab cover is issue 2, and which drab cover is issue 3, etc. plasticmoz - Thanks! Yes, he did this at the con. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBT Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 i'll be in the minority, and say I like this cover better than most of the other ones. Other ones are good, but they were all WAY to similar. It's nice to see some variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niro Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 yea the rossmo covers are far far better But i cant be bothered getting the same issue in 2nd print too, they should swap around and have rossmo do the 1st print Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
