Nexus Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 That cover is still awesome, no matter what happens to this book. I agree but every time that I look at it, it makes we wonder what could have been. Well, if you don't want to look at it any more, I'm sure someone could find a nice home for it I paid such stupid money for it that at this point, I'd rather hold out hope that something happens with the series than sell it for an enormous loss. I have a buddy who's a longtime OA collector (over 20 years). Whenever he buys a piece these days, he asks himself "Would I still be happy with this purchase if the value goes down by half in a year?" That internal test has served him well. Despite that test, he's actually an active collector (albeit a picky one), but he's buying OA for reasons other than any potential monetary gain. Makes the hobby more enjoyable, to not have that angst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Only 35c Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 In all seriousness, if anyone has any Nowhere Men OA they want to sell, I'd be happy to talk. Regardless of whether this series dies with Issue 6 it was a great book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes the hobby more enjoyable, to not have that angst. That's a good test. My favorite piece of OA that I own is from a mini which didn't get much acclaim and has virtually no chance of sought after, but it's a piece of art onto itself and looks good hanging on the wall; I never plan on selling it. That being said, I've also made a few hasty purchases earlier in my OA collecting days that I later regretted as I was chasing the 'hot' title and not the image on the page. Regret can be a good teacher too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hekla Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Ha Ha - good guess Ryan, but I wasn't being quite so cynical. My Helheim cover is awesome, but I was actually referring to Debris by Rossimo. I LOVE this cover & think it transcends beyond comic art.

I LOVE this cover & think it transcends beyond comic art. Love me some Helheim and cant wait for the next arc. As for Debris, I actually just reread the run the other day. Good little story for those that haven't read it. Still feel it could have been turned into a bigger world and longer run/story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of whether this series dies with Issue 6 it was a great book. Exactly, I love my three pages. If another issue was never printed, I would still be happy with the pages. I love the work Nate did on the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Only 35c Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Regardless at least we know there were another three issues planned for the Nowhere Men second arc. Issue 7 - Meet Monica Strange Issue 8 - Life's what you make it. Issue 9 - The world is changing I, for one, still believe we'll see them one day; an indefinite hiatus ≠ cancelled. And ES talked about it here including the lengthy delays. Who knows, maybe something might get announced at SDCC, if not a new arc, perhaps a TV show/movie? Be fun watching everyone get back on board again then. I'm just looking for one more issue to complete my collection; Nowhere Men #1 Thought Bubble Variant in 9.8 Universal or SS. Anyone here got one to sell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awakeintheashes Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 That last cover looks like it should be for a Venture Brothers DVD. To es' credit, this book still has people talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
