Whizzer Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 My LCS is so strange. There were only 5 of these on the shelf at opening today, but they still had 10+ Five Ghosts. I'll never get these guys... Any retailer who doesn't have plenty of copies of this book is pretty useless, as the marketing of this book to stores was VERY strong.

jjoseph7772 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 10 copies sold for 84.99 Seems most are going for about 4.50. Forbidden planets going for 20-25 Amazon they are going for 6.95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBT Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 my print run prediction is in the first few pages and I remain unchanged in my opinion. Only question mark is the hickman interview, but i dont think it was a literal "3x", just an expression. There are three variants, not 4, and none of them originated by hickman, so i think his original tweet remains true. So is Image no longer creator owned? I imagine he has to have some approval for them if he really owns East of West. I said originated, not "approved". Hickman does not own: Forbidden Planet The Ghost group of retailers Image Comics (RRP) He said he did not "plan" to do variants, and he didnt. He said yes to two store variants that are purchasing his book in large numbers to make them, and he said yes to Image having a showcase variant for their shindig.

I was just asking everyone in the thread generally if Image is starting to take more money like DC/Marvel because they are actually starting to see bigger money.

That's a great range for it to settle into and build some stability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBT Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 I was just asking everyone in the thread generally if Image is starting to take more money like DC/Marvel because they are actually starting to see bigger money. BatGirl 17 out sold walking dead by 2,200 in February. I think they have a ways to go still before there is any worry about that. Image was a product OF the 90s comic bubble, so I hardly think they can be viewed as some innocent pure company. If people are willing to pre-order 100 copies, variants will get made. It's cause and effect, the books with no variants, are the ones people didnt pre-order by the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBT Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 i ordered forbidden planet variant x10 the day it was announced. The shipping was high, but worked out to $10 a book shipped, or just slightly less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizarroChuck Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) What a great read. And the art was much better than the previous preview that was posted online. Had to order some Ghosts after finishing the issue. Edited March 27, 2013 by BizarroChuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magneto Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I heard that this comic has already doubled in price/value since I picked on up earlier today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mashed Potatoes-migration Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Can someone tell me how much they got charged for shipping from forbidden planet to the states and size of their order Someone just said that 10 books cost them 40 bucks to ship. Maybe i read that here or somewhere else but i just read it a few minutes ago. Cant remember where exactly I preordered 50 FP Variants the day it was made available and was charged 39 pounds (59 dollars). So with shipping, the cost per book was around 7 dollars. Just got confirmation that the order was filled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicsnyc22 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Dude-- this was a great first issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaseman210 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I'm ready to get my issues! I ended up cancelling my FP variants just because of the shipping. It wasn't worth it for the 3-5 copies I planned on purchasing. I'm glad it's leaning toward being a good read. That's what I was hoping for.
