I went to the store yesterday and picked up issue two, dont want to read it until I get issue 1. Just pm me. Not certain, but I think you can download the first issue for free on comixology.

A couple weeks ago it was $10, then the following week it was $20. Insane. This is following the trend of Saga and Peter Panzarfaust. Except, Saga had a much higher print run.

CBT Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 saga is a lot more established though, i think slow burners like saga and revival, have more staying power. It's sketchy when books go to far too fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wushugushu Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) They were like $20 a few days ago... Now they are getting towards $50 for the set.. Lost an auction last night they ended up selling around $50 Good thing I got a couple sets and other slightly beat copies. Im really excited to see where this series is going. Seems as though the main characters have yet to be fully introduced and looks like it should start picking up by issue 5. Honestly Ill probably try to trade a revival set for some nowhere men soon Issue 3 next week... Ill probably grab a handful anyway Edited January 24, 2013 by wushugushu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sketchy when books go to far too fast. The thing is, this book was a relative slow burner until the last week or so when people caught on after #2. I think the low print run combined with lack of initial interest due to a so-so preview is the kicker here. Those of us that read #1 and liked them snapped up the remaining copies before #2 hit and now the lack of supply is fueling prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsJustRyan Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I think the low print run combined with lack of initial interest due to a so-so preview is the kicker here. Interesting that the print run is less than 1/3 of Saga #1... very interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raybowles Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Wow 40 bones that's incredible. I'm not a negative guy but something tells me that of all the recent IMAGE #1's that I own this is the title I should dump. I have between 7-10 #1's and if I can get $30+ issue I know I will be kicking myself a year from now when the title will most likely be around $10. I understand why titles like SAGA, Thief of Thieves, PP, and Revival are hot but why is this title? Somebody help me change my mind. I don't like having negative thoughts about a title I own.

kimik Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I like this title better than PP or Revival, but to each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raybowles Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) I'm not saying it's not a better read. Thief of Thieves, PP, and Revival have TV deals or might be getting TV deals. Same with CHEW. This has lead to a lot of speculation and price hikes. NoWhere Men's price is not based on this. So what's the reason the title is taking off? The print run is only 11,815 but I think Think Tank was in the 6,000's. I have read the comic and think it's good but not great IMO. One more thing off topic does anyone have the print runs for CHEW #1 and Bedlam #1? Edited January 24, 2013 by raybowles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I prefer the themes of Nowhere Men over these other series. Only 2 issues in so Im not going to say its better than Saga but for me it has the potential to be.

I think titles in the sci fi / brainy genre are really hot right now. Think Tank IS awesome and highly under-rated. Nowhere Men is also awesome, but too early to tell how awesome it will be. For example, I like Manhattan Projects too, but by issue #7 I was like, "I'm not sure where they are going with this series." HOWEVER, #8 brought it back home for me and I'm in love again. As it has been said, to each their own. I think NWM is here to stay for a while. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakman29 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Question for the board. I see lots of posts where you guys are getting multiple copies of different issues at your local LCS or on line from a company. If you submitted these copies to CGC would most of them get a 9.8? If not what percentage do you think would? I only purchase CGC graded comics when I'm buying back issues and I have a HUGE problem getting 9.8 quality copies of new issues at my LCS(and I have 5 that are close by). I have sent emails to some of the on line companies that are recommended on this board and every one said they can't guarantee I would receive 9.6 or 9.8 quality books. Are you guys having the same problem? You live in Orange,Calif. Do you go to Comics toons and toys in Tustin? I hand pick mine from there every Wednesday.

jreezy Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I like this title better than PP or Revival, but to each their own. I just finished PP trade today and I have to admit it is a great read. I also enjoy reading revival as well. Nowhere Men, kinda confused me with the who traveling back into time with the story, but I'm curious to see where it is going. It's too early, but I think people are discovering this title slowly which is causing the price to on ebay to creep up. We can't truly say its all about the low print run numbers. if that was the case, Think tank would have caught fire by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A perfect comic to read in front of a fire on a cold winter's night. Edited January 25, 2013 by krighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
