1. I just think $200 for a brand-new first issue from an unproven series–“Collector’s Edition” bonuses or not–is absurdly risky. Even if Kirkman has a huge hit under his belt (The one with the Walking and the Dead) this could very well flop. Just my opinion…

   1. Well, it comes with a statue, of a brand new unproven character.

      1. Goodness, a statue? They should’ve charged $300! 🙂

         1. I would get one to unbox but with my luck I would get a broken statue and a regular copy of the comic. Just look at what happened with my 25th Anniversary Image Mystery Box… https://youtu.be/zxng52zQe8c

   2. Unproven or not, it’s Kirkman. If it sells out, people will want it on the secondary market. DCBS has them for $130.

   3. Seems like the perfect candidate for my “Avoid” pick… 🙂

   4. They sold me with the 1.25″ lapel pin.. yeah… I’m all over this just for the pin. 😛

2. Yikes, oblivision is nothing more than a giant cash grab by an egomaniac. No thanks.

   1. I can’t say it is not a cash grab, but Kirkman is really down to earth and many times people do not talk to him because the perception that he is The Kirkman. I was with Joshua Williamson in the back room of the Skybound booth at NYCC a couple of years back. Kirkman came in and was munching cheese crackers and drinking water. He then started in “Josh, show him the statues that were made for Birthright (one of a kind gifts for the book being published) and some other stuff.
      But it is a cash grab.

3. Those True Believers are great especially if you pre-order them and get them for less than a dollar, and then you can get anywhere from 3 to 5 for them later .

   1. Agreed. I am loading up on this. Figure 20 copies at .80 cents and sell the for $5 each. $100 off $16.

      1. Just curious about your shipping charge. Do you get a big discount? I only ask because even with .80 invested, a normal shipping charge of $2.77 plus other fees ends up eating much of a $5 sale.

         1. Locally through my shop = no shipping charge.

      2. Ahh, gotcha!

   2. I preordered 20 last Wednesday at my LCS. The owner said he’s ordering 250 copies.

4. I just get the feeling that the walking dead is on its way to becoming plain dead. It’s mostly the TV series that’s making me think this way. Oblivion song could be his next big thing. It looks cool and I’m hoping it’s at least as decent as the realm. I’m really on the fence about getting the collector box. I don’t go crazy for statues and only buy the occasional funko pop to get signed. I would hope that the comic inside is signed and numbered or something worth while…….but out of everything on that reorder list I’m really looking forward to the lemire title. He’s really done something special with the world of blackhammer and I’m hungry for anything that he serves up regarding it. I expect that gideon falls will be reordered because it looks pretty cool and most people love lemires other titles. I really love that Lemire writes for every publisher under the sun………Lemire Rules!!!!!!!

   1. I do love Lenore’s work.

5. Question for Everyone. I looked on ebay for oblivion song out of curiosity and didn’t see much besides one copy of image plus claiming 1st appearance of oblivion song. I know that image plus regularly showcases upcoming titles but does the golden moniker of “1ST Appearance” apply??…..im always chasing ashcan…retailers and convention exclusives that warrant 1st in my mind…..am i missing something with these image plus magazines? At least the other variants that I mentioned are the whole comic and not just a few pages….someone please provide some clarity on this.

   1. I collect Image Plus and for most of them, consider them first preview not first appearance. But since it has pages from issue 1 it could be considered as such.
