e.s. Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Lets not do too much, when they start popping up on Home Shopping Network like in the 90s.. All our fun will be gone again. WORD. Honestly -- and I think I've posted about this before -- I can't see any reason why we'd do variants past issue one. We've declined offers for other variants post #1, and given the great feedback we're getting from readers and retailers alike at this point, I don't see the need to do them. -e.s.

CBT Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Lets not do too much, when they start popping up on Home Shopping Network like in the 90s.. All our fun will be gone again. More like the lucille variant, without needing 100 issues first. Hardly comparable to 1,000,000 print run rubbage But i agree with the sentiment. Overdoing things is bad for sure, but if people really want ultra rare collectibles, it would be nice to see a delivery method that benefits the primary market as much as possible. More money to guys like Kurtis Wiebe, and less to ebay sellers, is always a good thing in my books. Edited March 5, 2013 by CBT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Eric, rereading the first two issues I was noticing some fun little references and details sprinkled through. Just curious, are you a (fellow) fan of the song Surf's Up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonjesper Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Eric, It was a pleasure meeting you an chatting you up on the elevator I walked away with Nowhere Men shirt and loved flipping through issue 4! Thanks for taking the time for everyone this weekend. Big props to you and Nate! JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wushugushu Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Heard that issue 4 looks great and I'm excited again I don't mind the variants put out so far . Especially since I've gotten all 3, but it wasn't cheap - No phantom/ghost/ect is great for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, are you a (fellow) fan of the song Surf's Up? A fan of both the song and the album. "Til I Die" is probably my favorite Beach Boys song, period, and easily in my all-time top 10. -e.s.

e.s. Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Will Image ever do more Blank covers for sketches? People ask about these a lot, for all kinds of books. I guess, maybe? -e.s.

ThoseBackPages Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 i think making more makes sense Eric. when at a con, would you rather have an artist render an Image Character Sketch on a blank Image book, or one of the BigBloatedTwo's blank book?

Eric Stephenson Publisher Image Comics, Inc. www.imagecomics.com I can honestly say blank covers have their own niche audience now. That Thanos cover that someone sold on the boards a few weeks ago was Amazing it even glowed in the dark. Its nice to see something new in our hobby that doesnt have a negative effect.
