Been trying to hold off grabbing an ashcan copy because I keep telling myself prices will go back down. It's been...difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow that is crazy. To me, this book looks like if Pixar were to release a comic book. I like Skottie Young's style so I will check it out but no need for the premium Ash Can version.

I missed the ashcan at the LCS. Heard about it after from the Twig FB group. Kyle did a Instagram giveaway (5 copies) and then surprised 3 of the FB people with ashcan copies also. They are going to do another giveaway of some sort at 500 members, if you are on FB look it up. On 3/8/2022 at 5:12 PM, LudaToke said: Are you talking about the 1 preview copy they sent to stores?

So a signed one went up and sold for $200+ which led to FOMO on the reg copies.

So they are a lot more than one per store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, they were done as a surprise 1 per store. I know Kyle was selling them as early as last Nov at cons he attended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otter1775 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Is this the ashcan? I ask, because I’m used to the ones that are smaller in size that I have in my collection; e.g., Image’s Codename: Stryke Force & Wild C.A.T.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the dimensions for ashcans were smaller myself, as I've had a few like you mentioned, but many are the size of regular comics these days. I have several from Scout that are the same size as regular comics, only fewer pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
