Descender #1 Image Comics March 2015

[PCV]

Poor Descender thread. This is a great book but no one seems to talk about it! Bleeding Cool has a new interview with Lemire posted yesterday along with a sneak peak of the cover to #8.

Great cover. I'm enjoying this and a lot of other Image stuff right now. I still think they have the best writers in the business. Snyder, Hickman, Lemire, Kirkman, Wiebe, and the list goes on and on. I also believe people spend more time outside in the summer and less time on comics. Late fall and winter seems to spawn the most comic talk and tax time the most speculation. We are in the lull and will be for another month or so imo. I'm watching a lot of talk aimed towards very small press titles and some deserve it. My money is still on Image though I wish ES was a little more fan friendly and the books were put out a little more often.

By number of books, Image is by far the best currently.

I agree, things are extremely slow for newer comics in comparison to the beginning of the year.

Anyone noticing that Descender #6 is hard to find with a clean cover?

 

That white-front and black-back make for a lot of ink-rubs ending up on the front cover edges.

Yes! I got 3 in my order and they all had ink rub. From moderate to pretty heavy. I did look on eBay and saw them for sale cheap but I think most were mostly stock photos so I could not tell if they also had rub.

Yes modern comics have slowed a ton this summer....not sure what people are spending their money on but a comics heat seems to be lasting less than a week once it gets hot with an announcement

Yep. That too.

 

Every actual image on Ebay I saw had noticable ink rub, except for the stock photo ones .

This was also an issue on the Painted Visions variant. One I got carried away with but only a few out of the stack did not have rather heavy color rub.

 

Are media deal announcements even staying hot a week? I swear some just sell rather than sitting on eBay and don't really see much of a spike at all anymore.

 

Media deal burnout? Will the media deal craze be talked about similar to the way the 90's are talked about with variants and massive print runs?

[jcjames]

 

I guess I got lucky because I only got two Painted Visions and both are only very lightly affected.

 

The entire stack of #6's at the LCS had at least moderate rub.

I'm selling the Eh Variant cover art to issue 1.

 

Something came up involving ladies of the night.

 

I'm about to list it on ebay ect.

 

This is the heads up. XOXOX

This book has been on my pull list from the start, but I didn't read it. I waited for the first TPB to be released. Well, I'm just about finished with the first TPB and I love this book.

 

Seems to be another great book that isn't getting the attention that it deserves.

 

Is there one #1 that is THE copy to own? There are several variants out there. The GPA figures don't really show a noticeable difference. I guess I like the FCG cover art the best, but wanted to ask in the thread: is there one cover that stands out from the rest?

 

What is the print run of the different covers?

[jcjames]

 

Nguyen ECCC and Painted Visions are my two favorites.

 

And I agree, this is a really good series and have also been pulling them from the start.

 

 

 

[HarveySwick]

Have the print runs been posted anywhere?

[jcjames]

 

Don't know.

Print run of all variants. Not sure about cover A/B. Anyone know those?

[HarveySwick]

Thanks!

This is one of the few books I'm still pulling monthly and not trade waiting. It's just a great read and Dustin's painted pages are beautiful. Hopefully, he'll sell one or two eventually.

[HarveySwick]

The art is some of the best I've ever seen.
