Life with Archie 36 is backorder at Diamond.

I love the idea of killing of Archie, very Whedonesque. However is this really a big deal when there are still a number of Archie books where he is still alive. Hell, he's the main protagonist in the Zombie infested Afterlife book.

 

I see this as a nice publicity stunt to bring attention to the brand. I've read that they are trying to bring Archie Comics up to the level of the other publishing houses, and this isn't a bad way to do it.

 

Cover is great though.

Heads-up for the faithful... Mycomicshop still has the Francavilla and Perez covers in stock. If you hurry!

[Awax]

DCBS didn't ship all I ordered. if they think they might get more.

I heard the story on all news stations.

I called a favor to my LCS to pull me a copy yesterday before it opens Wednesday. I know it is will sell out in an hour.

Im not even going to bother with with this one.

The best way to win is not to play.

I only won once with the spider-man Obama Cover.

I won with Death of Cap but not enough to make it worth my time

 

Agreed. Chasing moderns to flip for 30-70% more what you paid gross, to walk away with 10-30% net is a brutal way to grind out a few bucks. Factor in the risk of items being lost/damaged in the mail, and one disgruntled or fraudulent buyer and there goes zero money. I'd like to do the NPV on flipping moderns, I'm sure it's negative....

As a life long Archie reader I think it was a cool read. The previously in at the beginning.....made my head spin.

[Awax]

It's sad Larry got a strike. I would have liked to hear how his shop was doing on this book.

[jsilverjanet]

first shop i went to, after i picked up 2 copies of each (Hughes, Francavilla and Perez) I overheard the clerks say they were going to limit one copy of each cover

 

 

the second shop I went to today, I asked how sales were going and he said he put 15 copies out (mixed Hughes/Francavilla) and he had about 3 left (one hour after opening).

 

 

[Jackhartmann]

LCS was sold out in 30 minutes despite a limit of one per customer. They only had 15 ordered and customer pulls pre-grabbed 10 of them. I ended up getting the Adam Hughes one.

[Vikingreed]

MTC has them up.

Limit one per cover.

[ebtorres]
