The Disciples - Black Mask

[Real Elijah Snow]

Oh yeah, that reminds me. The 2 shops that I normally stop at if I don't have time for more on Wednesday's had zero copies. One didn't order, and the other ordered 2 for subs. This shop orders 10-20 copies of common image book #1's regardless of creator. Honestly I would rather the regular book be heavily ordered since I am stocking up a few of the variant, but it doesn't seem like that happened here. (at least these 2 shops)

 

Just got back from my LCS

 

While there they got 2 calls looking for this book and the owner calling to pull what's left off the shelf, if any.

 

I got one

PLUS, I wanted to actually read it, but looks like I'll be waiting until I pick up my variants next week to actually do so. (bummer)

My 1st 2 regular shops I always hit up when they open didn't order any copies, and they're both good for getting at least 1 or 2 copies of everything obscure. Picked up 2 at an out of the way spot later in the afternoon. Into the longbox they go

My regular had 6 people call for it, so they'll at least order 10 for the next issue. Lots of Steve Niles fans in upstate New York, so this will sell here.

These were still available on the black mask site for $3.99 as of last night

This is another variant. Limited to 300. The regular cover from the black mask site and this have both sold out.

Black Mask has been rolling...

I'd describe their books as visual media pitches.

 

They have some great stuff coming up:

 

YOUNG TERRORISTS #1 (MR)

 

BLACK MASK COMICS

 

(W) Matt Pizzolo (A) Amancay Nahuelpan (CA) Amancay Nahuelpan, Matt Pizzolo

 

What if "The Smoking Man" from The X-Files were a real person, and his daughter found out what he did for a living? The daughter of an assassinated globalist kingpin breaks out of an internment camp and leads her fellow escaped prisoners in a battle against an elitist conspiracy of shadow governments, megabanks, and military juntas in this edgy and subversive sci-fi thriller. Incendiary writer Matt Pizzolo and striking newcomer Amancay Nahuelpan unleash this tour-de-force that fearlessly assaults politics-as-usual. Young Terrorists continues the legacy of DMZ and The Invisibles as it manically rips the scab off life under the new world order and revels in the pus underneath.

And I am green with envy that I can't get one of those 50.

Was this only available on the site?

I guess Niles was in store and signed a bunch but I grabbed some that weren't signed in order to get his and others' later with an SS label.

My Ssalesfish issue came in with a nice big dent on the top of the front cover.

[Real Elijah Snow]

Maybe you should let Ssalefish know?

[freecharlie]

I did. I'd have to pay to have it shipped back. I'm thinking I should just order another one. It's only a little more than shipping back.

The box mine came in was bent but luckily the book was fine.

[Real Elijah Snow]

Read a copy. Loved it!

[freecharlie]

I am not having good luck with these variants, as another copy came in damaged. This time from rubber chicken.

 

 

 

 

What would this drop this book's grade down to, if it were otherwise perfect?

[LarrysComics]

In most cases with this company, it's a cover stock issue...

I'm having a tough time servicing the "I'm entitled to a 9.8 on every purchase crowd" through the mail.

 

I'm keeping most for in shop sales...

 

They use a thin almost card stock that has a ton of ticks, production marks.

I've spoken to them about it, hopefully they upgrade.

 

[freecharlie]

They allowed me to send it back and they would reimburse me the shipping. What a great book too.

Anyone know how long this series is supposed to run?
