This one was on my radar and then I missed it’s being released. It was to be a pick of the week and I totally missed it coming out this week.
People have been asking what I thought of Devil's Hopyard #1, and I responded I had been waiting for it. Then I realized it had been released, and then I panicked.
So what is the book about?
Check out the book that has been praised by Robert Kirkman, Geoff Johns, and Brian K. Vaughn! This R-rated noir tale tells the story of a cop who gets pulled into a world of secrets, sin, and superheroes! Featuring art by Spawn artist Szymon Kudranksi and a script by Flash Gordon scribe Brendan Deneen!
Devil's Hopyard #1 from Ardden came out Wednesday and is already seeing a price increase on eBay. The cheap copies, at cover price, sold quickly. The $4.95 copies have been moving next. Copies are now listed at $14.99 and up. Some do start at .99 cents but do not expect them to stay at that price.
There are still copies available at Mycomicshop and copies on TFAW are on back order but will be back in soon. The book is not completely sold out at Diamond, but expect that to change too.
Now I cannot confirm this, but the eBay listings I am seeing are saying a TV show may have been optioned, again, I do not have confirmation of this.
2/12/14 was a good week for comics, and February is starting to look like and uptick in new comic speculation.
Midtown seems to have some available as well.
And now they are sold out as well. Good thing I pre-ordered a couple issues last week!
It looks like mycomicshop is sold out.
Yeah, as of last night they were not, and now they are. People scramble to get these books. Hopyard has
a small print run
What a great week, so much fun specking. I think manifest destiny #4 is going to blow up too due to the Sacagawea cover… And great story!
I agree. This has been the best week in a long time for specking!
Probably since the DC 3d cover fiasco. Funny thing, you haven’t even mentioned the two new image #1s that came out!
I am not all about Image…. Ok, I picked up Mercenary Sea and probably the other one but I cannot think of what it is. I don’t read Marvel or Dc anymore so it is all about Dark Horse and Image for me.
Midtown is sold out, glad I picked up a few while they still had them…
Looks like and interesting read.
I am picking some up today at my LCS…. So mad at myself for missing this
The prices on eBay have increased but none have sold yet. The only sold listings so far are for around retail prices.

If anyone gets hard up, Forbidden Planet still has them for order. Sure, shipping charges are a little steep, but if you have to have a few copies….
Went around to some LCBS in my area today ( San Diego). First place had 3 Devil’s Hopyard #1 and 1 Bunker #1. Second was sold out of both. The third place had 3 Bunker #1. Very happy to get these issues at cover plus a few more to come in the mail. The ones in the mail were a little more than retail. When they arrive in the mail. The iron should be hot. Flipping time!!
I picked up the Devils Hopyard today. I liked the end of the first issue. Wasn’t crazy about the art. A lot of people are trying the Templesmith style that doesn’t always work. Thankfully the story was solid.
Yeah, sometimes the art can work with the story and go with the flow but it wasn’t as appealing to me in this issue. The story seemed interesting though, the ending definitely made it so I’ll pick up the next issue as it peaked my curiosity and interest to see where it’s going.
