jjeanius Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I'm pretty sure Riley has finished issue 6, so...not sure why there would be a delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz2810i Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Guys it's just people being over anxious about having to wait the normal month, no one has said anything about a delay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Solo Dolo Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I'm pretty sure Riley has finished issue 6, so...not sure why there would be a delay. Talked to Riely at ECCC and he said he finished issue 6 already. He also said the new artist was amazing and to check out some of his previous stuff.

cujobyte Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I've scooped up more Sketch 1's. This by far is the most overlooked book right now, and I'm glad. I can afford 1's at $5 all day, and sketches at $70. I think it's only a matter of time before we see an increase tho. The writing is far too good.

ThoseBackPages Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 #5 was great. i cannot wait for the new artist. the art still is very . was hoping it would improve with each issue. Fillmore and Acevado look like the same person, or at the very least brother and sister. the Dr's face when we get to the reveal page in issue 5 is horrible.

Wushugushu Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 When it comes to speculation, is it better to get raw/possibly blues at right price or do ss slabs make a good investment during early stages of a series? For series that are a few issues in I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the book doesn't get a bump from the TPB it may be a long time before you see an increase in the book. Readership has to increase. Keep watching the regular Bedlam 1 issue. When you see them selling above cover consistently then you know more new readers are coming and your strategy will work. I cant deny the writing is very good just wish they would have chosen a different artist. It may just be like Revival and be a long slow burn before readers catch on.

It may just be like Revival and be a long slow burn before readers catch on. good advice from one of the last old school boardies in the modern forum To follow up on Fastballs advice, this is why, the rule of thumb is to wait six issues before going all in. Right now, you can still get #1 at cover except you have the added advantage of a complete story to gauge the quality of the book. After the initial flippers flip and move on, the market is more stable and you have more to go on. People panic and start to dump books. I picked up my Sagas right before Christmas before the spike. I didn't see the spike coming but I felt like it was time. Edited March 10, 2013 by mldynes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hog Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Yes on the rule of thumb - but let's be honest, the cover art sucks. That was my first indication to avoid this book, and candidly between that and the 1000000 variants which left people wondering which 1 was the right 1, was a huge red flag. I'm not diminishing the panel art, the story, or the direction, but the cover blew. Quality does impact desire and it starts with the cover.

This is a little subjective though as I personally really like the Irvin covers. I am not saying you not right just that it's not a case of just because you hate it, it doesn't mean everyone else does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hog Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Yeah, you're right. It does seem subjective though. I don't know what the % of like/dislike is but given the past posts, it has to be higher than say Saga/NWM. A lot of people like the covers, a think a lot don't like the covers too. Has to play into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
