Getting some press.

Despite the provocative title, the mechanics are rock solid.

 

Killer art.

Fabulous backstory.

 

In the near future cloning exists, for the rich.

They pay 40k to clone their pets with a company.

 

Somebody at the company tries to clone Jesus.

 

The kickstarter generated enough cash to print 3k.

Phantom printed 3k.

 

6k total

 

( I'm launching a TON of material under Phantom First Friday next year )

Third Friday?

Third Friday?

They printed 5999 too many

Third Friday?

 

Taco?

 

I was just wondering why something called First Friday would be released on the third Friday. Maybe in January you'll get it right.

They printed too many, why? I am a horror fan and this seems like something I would like. People trying to clone Jesus (think Punk Rock Jesus) and they succeed. However they also made an antichrist. The Vatican is going in to retrieve their bog and slaughter will ensue. Yup, sounds like a winning combination to me.

 

Not to mention Larry is doing his own distribution channel for the book which makes it cool and somewhat exclusive. It is outside the confines of Diamond. Didn't Larry help distribute Sacrafice, which I loved.

Errrr.... browsing back a couple of pages.... that was C.P. Wilson III on the boards! Totally missed it

Good to see that the over saturation is causing stores to leave the program. Sure seems heavy handed anyways. There's way too many being churned out. And I don't blame the collector at all for backing off.

 

Here's hoping Image gets the memo. I'm sick of seeing multiples covers of their books.

Alpha Comics sales of Phantoms was surely affected by the fact that ALL of them were stickered at $10.

Holy saturation batman. I just looked at a list of all the Phantom's released in 2013. That is a HUGE list... Could probably have a Phantom variant registry set. tree fiddy

Physical stickers on the comics? Ouch!

 

 

[LarrysComics]

The Program just lost three retailers for various reasons but signed up six new shops to fill the void.

 

Great news.

 

Right?

 

( Shops that do not offer Phantoms at cover price the week they ship tend to find their way out of the program rather quickly )

 

Here's my next offering:

It looks too much like issue #1 IMHO
