krighton Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) For a 14k print run, there wasn't much to choose from on the shelf.... same, though i'm sure some will post that they had to step over the stacks of Five Ghosts at their LCS.... and I think that was 14k including all variants......so maybe 12k of the regular issue.

LarrysComics Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 There are 1,900 comic shops. 14,000 Five Ghost #1's I stocked several hundred for my signing with the creative team this Saturday. Do the math... That's seven copies per shop. I think it's a great buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I guarantee mine will have a stack when I go tonight, but they're on the ball about this kind of stuff. I guess it all depends on the individual LCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I preordered 20 some, I knew my LCS copies would be brutalized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsJustRyan Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I pre-ordered three, but by the 'talk' I'm hoping they are not ripped in half when I get them (ref: damaged spines). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wushugushu Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 ^Same I hope everyone waiting on copies gets theirs in top condition! Ive got 5 ordered online but my shop is holding 3 that are close to, if not, 9.8s - They take care of me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrs Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 pulled 3 copies at the lcs 1 was 9.8 the other 2 were NM+ at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 in a sick sort of way it more exciting when it's harder to find a 9.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MutantKeys Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Not at all. Once I went to almost every lcs in mahattan trying to find high grade copies of a comic....and I enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzno Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 No stacks of books to look through here. Looks to be sold out (or not ordered) at the shops locally. If anyone is willing to lighten their stack by 2 copies let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradejunky Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I only got 1 copy. My shop closest to me only had three on the shelf and I knew they would scoff if I grabbed two of them. No copy better than 9.6. Only got 1 revival #8 as the only other copy had cover scrapes. Can't win them all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Linguini Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Prices have dropped since launch on the unsigned copies. That one Jimmy sold was the first day after I think Still have nine unsigned NM .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollowdaze-migration Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 LCS I went to had 6 copies this afternoon. Picked up one. This book is getting rave reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Linguini Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Difference between unsigned and not numbered on back.....most have numbering even if not signed I wasn't the only person who bought a case of 10 from Frank at ECCC. The cases of 10 were still bagged and not signed or numbered. I know of above 20 of them in that condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rice71-migration Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Mine just numbered and not signed. 6/200. One of 4 LCS near me had about 7 copy's, pickup two of the best looking ones. I'll try two more tomorrow to see if they have any copy's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHTCRAWLER Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Picked it up and I have to say this was well worth the buy. I think everyone is going to enjoy this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
