Kevin76 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 About 2 weeks ago I walked into the comics store and saw 4 copies of #2 1st print sitting on the shelf, So I grabbed all 4 and the store owner said "I hear this is supposed to be really good" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicartfan Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I only found one with the three places I hit. There's a music store that carries comics and I found one sitting on the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e.s. Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 How many of these yearbooks were printed? Only 1,566 of those yearbooks were printed. I'm not sure how many went to Diamond after the convention. -e.s. Eric Stephenson Publisher Image Comics, Inc. www.imagecomics.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e.s. Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Eric as you are here - whats your thoughts on the excessive number of Bedlam variants? Did it help or hinder Images plans for this book? For the first issue? I think the pre-release NYCC variant helped. It raised awareness of the book and got some buzz going, which resulted in an increase in orders. We sold out pretty quickly and the second print sold out as well. I think hitting kind of a bump in the road with scheduling was somewhat of a hindrance, but that seems to have ironed itself out, and I think we'll okay going forward. People either like variants or they don't. I originally didn't want to do one for NWM, but then the opportunity to do the Thought Bubble cover came up and we found a cover design we all liked, so that worked. We're doing different artwork for the second printings, because we wanted to make the first printings unique and special for the people who were there for them from the start. It can either be fun, or it can become kind of crass, and yeah, I realize sometimes we're probably treading a fine line there. We're keeping an eye on it, though. -e.s.

Beige Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 We didn't mean the 'authorised' variants like NYCC - we meant the LCS copies that flooded the market at the time of Bedlams release. There were literally 8 different ones,all released through stores that were rejected by the 'Ghost' variant group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebtorres Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Eric, Any idea if Peter Panzerfaust is going to be published beyond 25 issues? Kurtis Weibe just posted the following on the PP thread a few hours ago: "And, as everyone's talking about this topic, Peter Panzerfaust will only be 25 issues, even if sales boom. I have a very concise plan in place for the series." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were literally 8 different ones,all released through stores that were rejected by the 'Ghost' variant group. I think "rejected" is a rather harsh term. The Ghost Variant group was set up by a specific group of guys who wanted to do something together. The other variants are all authorized. They all went through this office. I think some of the retailers not invited to participate in the Ghost Variant group were a little miffed and just figured, we'll do our own exclusives. If they feel there's a market for it on their ends and the individual creators want to participate, I don't have have a problem with it. I'm all for whatever helps individual stores grow their business. Do I think that sort of things is sustainable over the long term? Well, no, and I would hope they realize that, too. End of the day, you want people to read and enjoy these things, not just hunt and collect them. -e.s.
