ranx Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I have a DF of locke and key #1.... It's the same cover on slightly less good paper, with a DF on it ( oh and limited to 3000 ) WTF, I have a printer too....I mean if your not going to go through the effort of getting it signed, or a different cover...some value added. It's scarcity for scarcity's sake only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VEI Reborn Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I've just read a lot of board postings of their business practices no matter the book. Slow, high shipping, and not filling orders correctly. Capitalism is a great thing, stop giving them business they will be left with 2 options - either start becoming reliable if someone buys 5 ship 5 simple or go outta business. Live and learn. I learned and moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the authority Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Back on topic, EOW sold 43228 issues of number 4 compared to 39441 issues of number 3 or roughly a 9% increase. I think this bodes well for the long term health of this book. Thoughts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerThirty Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Back on topic, EOW sold 43228 issues of number 4 compared to 39441 issues of number 3 or roughly a 9% increase. I think this bodes well for the long term health of this book. Thoughts ? Some of the increase was likely due to the sketch cover. That being said, this is great news. If the book continues to be awesome and people give the trade a try, this book looks to sell well for the run :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comichron didn't have an * beside the number so I don't know if the sketch is included. On the number 1 issue they listed * and included all covers. Hard to say for sure.

The pajamas thing is ...scary The article is very good and gets me more excited about the EPIC being made. I like it a lot when you hear the creator getting excited about their craft. You see it with Frank on Five Ghosts, Kurtis on Rat Queens ( can't wait), and here with Dragotta. Its a great time to be reading. These guys are leaving it all on the pages.

aaronc Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Some good news on the print run side of things: 49,518 41,838 39,441 43,228 One of the RARE modern titles that manage to stop its decline and reverse the flow. Best title to watch out show in the secondary market. The rest like 5 ghosts, helheim, lazarus, bedlam, revival are all showing declines in print run.

Balham's Finest Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Some good news on the print run side of things: 49,518 41,838 39,441 43,228 One of the RARE modern titles that manage to stop its decline and reverse the flow. Best title to watch out show in the secondary market. The rest like 5 ghosts, helheim, lazarus, bedlam, revival are all showing declines in print run. Not clear on the basis of one issue of "recovery". Particularly when as someone else has pointed out there was a sketch cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronc Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 That is true. The increased print run might be due to a variant. We will see next month how it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
