NewWorldOrder Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Is this thread about the comic story itself or just about speculating? I just got a few copies today. They are so minty I don't want to open them. I think I'll DL it from comixology this weekend. No worry about finger prints or bends that way. Haha me to. I am just making reference it seems no one is talking about the actual story over the past pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsJustRyan Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Is this thread about the comic story itself or just about speculating? (1) Three horsemen rise (2) Fourth MIA (3) They will kill him now (4) Fourth is "Death" (5) He's out for blood (6) Three Horsemen are kids and waiting to grow while building a monument of bodies to themselves. (7) Meanwhile, Death kills a bunch of people (including the Pres) (8) End of #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThoseBackPages Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 normal thread behavior is 1 day of discussion, 29 days of anticipation & speculation makes sense. i really enjoyed the first issue. had a great Preacher feel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastballspecial Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Read it for the first time today. Some thoughts. Always like the 4 Horsemen stories. This one seems to be right down that alley. I enjoyed the art until like the last page or two it fit the book really well. Interested to see what comes in the next issue. Let me wanting more which is what a book should do.

Westy Steve Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Just read it. Actually, I read it twice to help me aborb the first part of the story after I started catching on to what was happening. I don't read a lot of modern comics, but this one just converted me. I used to read the Sandman and it had that kind of feel about it, a mysterious, "I am not quite sure what's going on but it's cool" feeling to it. Maybe that's what Preacher was like, but I never read those....(maybe I should!) I'm happy to get in on this series from the beginning...it's been a long, long, time since I followed a series (my style is to collect keys or read old Bronze age runs), but I'll be reading this one. As an aside, I really liked the Night scenes with the stars. I guess the quality of the paper makes this possible...comics have come a long way. I've got a telescope, or two, or three...OK...six...and there is something mystically cool about the starry sky and maybe a primative fire. More of that, please. It'd be cool if the artist strives for some realism with the night sky...like maybe hang the constellation Orion up there or something. Assuming this is on our earth, and not some kind of alternate earth. WC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreezy Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I just got my 15 copies in from dcb. Jesus christ these books are sharp. Most of them are 9.8 candidates. Can't say the same for my midtown order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannyboy0076-migration Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 My dinky little LCS was only ordering 2 copies about a month and a half ago. I asked him to order 5 copies just for me so he upped his order to 10. When they came in wednesday, there were people standing in the store waiting on them. A couple people complained when clint (owner), put 5 copies in my box and had none for them. The other 5 got snapped up, none actually made it to the shelf. The owner bags and boards every book you buy for free, and when i say my copies were pristine, i mean it. I don't think i've ever got such nice books, and thats tough to say given image's fascination with white front and back covers lately. Honestly though i like the minimalist feel of the cover art such as Nowhere Men, Manhattan Projects, EoW and so on. I tried to explain to one guy that previews puts their book out for a reason. I told him to go through it every month and whatever books he has a good feeling about then preorder a handful of copies. I think all 10 copies were spoken for as soon as they were taken out of the box! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin76 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 How long from when they shipped till they showed up, kevin? I got them April 3rd and they came out the 27th. I ordered them from M&M Comics, they pack extremely well, they put them in double boxes with styrofoam peanuts. Midtown should take notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediumLover Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 At a LCS near me, big sign stating "you may buy up to five copies" The stack of about 30 looked untouched, Not one sold while I was there, got mine from TFAW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
