Do we typically see a bump on Boom books when they go ongoing?
Sometimes, yes, when the story is good and it’s picking up on organic demand. SIKTC was originally a mini-series and it seemed to pick up heat after it went to ongoing.
FYI, #1 Second Print still available at TFAW for those that missed out on first prints. We all know the potential additional printings can do nowadays…
I invested pretty heavily on this series. I just really enjoyed the story and feel there is more to tell. Hopefully it catches steam and possibly gets optioned…I can easily see this making the transition.
Aren’t most new series initially a mini-series to see if the concept sells? SIKTC was. We Only Find Them When They’re Dead was, and that got extended (although, I expect that one to die off soon). We Live was a 5-issue story initially and only got this winter’s volume 2 because it was popular.
I think that’s why we often times see such rushed writing with a new series (Shadecraft, Radiant Black, etc). They know that if they don’t succeed in the first arc, they’ll never see a second arc.
for 250 print run, im shocked it didnt sell out fast
Got me one! Thanks! Hoping it arrives nicely
Thanks just got one.
Now if my 1:50 will come back from CGC before the end of the year…
That’s not sold at TFAW…
Maybe… BOOM is horrible at packing. I’m not even bothering as I know it’s gonna arrive without a bag/board in a cardboard mailer with nothing else.
They fixed that issue.
Maybe but they have to prove it with a good track record…
Yes they are. They use the flimsy mailers that TFAW uses regardless how many books you buy and no bag and board
Cool cover
Man, that was a big one. One of my Dark Bloods sold for $125 and this is a bigger book.
Packing is fine and even with some damage, you’re profiting selling even a VF copy with this print run.
Not true. Both of the Dark Bloods I picked up were in book mailer with good rigidity and both were in bags and boards. This was 2-3 weeks ago.
Actually it is true. We’re speaking from experience. So they might of recently changed their way of packing but for me, I’m not bothering until they get a better track record of books not getting damaged.
Yeah, it actually isn’t true because they just shipped these to me, but Keep pumping it as the same. No one ever changes a policy I guess.
All my boom exclusives have shipped fine and damage free
