Such a mostly-dead week. At least we get some more, “Go-Bots,” by the genius Tom Scioli and the hilarious, “Mars Attacks,” gets a new issue.
yup. By th way, got your email and will respond tomorrow.
Thanks! I imagined the holiday season had you busy so I didn’t want to bug you too much. I edited some grammar mistakes I saw in my the thing I emailed you already but would love overall thoughts.
This post is incorrect.
Those are the titles that were preshipped and have already arrived in shops to be held for next week. Likely because Diamond was concerned about getting them from Olive Branch to the local distribution centers in time.
But there is a normal complement of titles next week. Including Batgirl, Flash, Walking Dead, Rick and Morty, etc. My invoice shows roughly 90 titles in addition to what has been pre-shipped.
Hmmm. Need to double check. I got this straight from diamond.
Other titles I am looking forward to include Unnatural, Immortal Hulk, and Heroes in Crisis. Plus obviously Previews.
Other than what I had listed I see a couple of Joe Books and one American Mythology title. Check this out: https://www.previewsworld.com/Article/222051-PREVIEWSworlds-New-Releases-For-12262018
It does appear you are correct. But strangely, Diamond sent out invoices that clearly state product has an on-sale date of 12/26 even though they will not arrive to stores until 12/28. Hopefully that’s actually the 1/2/19 product, despite what the invoice says.
It’s been two decades since I opened my Diamond account and it’s still a struggle sometimes determining what they mean. Lol.
It’s no worries. I did miss the Joe Books ones. So split the difference and we are both right. Lol.
Yeah, I was having the same questions on mine. Was strange as heck.
Looks like a load off my wallet for at least a week, but who knows what might pop up. Anyone know what happened to Rags #3? Looks like it keeps getting pushed back?
Rags has been canceled due to the creators panties being in a huge knot. ?. Some real drama going over on Rags Patreon group. Quite funny. The creators were miffed at the secondary market prices and starting calling speculators a bunch of c*nts then threatened to open all his patreon variants price to order, essentially ruining The secondary market for them.
*print to order = price* to order
I am fine with them not liking speculators and the secondary market. They are killing the price and as a result, the demand for their book. But that’s all well and good. I still enjoyed the read. What I didn’t like reading was the AIDS comment he made towards speculators, just insensitive. I hate when people make comments like that.
I have no real issue with the creators doing what they want with their material, but, the way this one went about it was rather comical. I have paid zero attention to that book from the get go. The premise doesnt appeal to me and to be truthful, you, Tony, are the 1st person Ive seen to actually talk about the contents of the book, having said that you enjoyed reading it.
It’s not high art but it was enjoyable. I like horror so it was on my radar anyway. With that being said I have sold two first prints, numerous self published and some second prints. I did enjoy their craziness but the way they went about it turned me off towards them.
Jay do you have a link you could share about any of this info? Or was this Patreon shared only?
Just google Rags patreon, dont want to share his link, he doesn’t deserve it. I agree Anthony, the AIDS comments disgusts me.
Not sure why he hates flippers driving sales of his subsequent books and bringing attention to his work. Best thing you can do is ignore his future work and don’t buy
Hellboy trailer looks good.
Been digging Bone Parish so at least I get one of my regular reads. I praise the work you did by listing all the variants Tony. I would would have said X-Force, SS, or FF #1 (plus an overload of variants), haha.
