So trim the fat. Why do they employ so many people?
More likely same # of people per book, but they pay them more then image does just to keep them…and that cost trickles down to the consumer.
All I’m saying is don’t buy it if you don’t like it. Support who you think is doing the job for the right price.
Nakayama Edge of Spiderverse 1 97 variant
Is that an invisible desk I don’t see?
Ask Marvel or Disney… big corporations love to hire people they don’t necessarily need, it makes their stock go up… and then when things get rough, they lay those same people off so their stock goes up again… either way, at the expense of employees, corporations use payroll as a good way to make the stock holders happy.
Didn’t know Jenny Frison did a cover for Zawa #2. Sold out.
Sorry for a what is likely a known “thing”.
I’m trying to find the Skottie Young “Edge of Spider-verse” #1 that I’ve seen folks show/discuss, but I don’t see it on either my own LCS ordering platform nor TFAW.
Is that an exclusive or something or just later add that isn’t showing for the systems I’m using? Perhaps I’m simply an idiot and not seeing it.
Thx!
I’ve been looking for it but I don’t think Tfaw has released it yet. I ended up preordering through Dark Dominion who btw has the Foil cover significantly cheaper than Tfaw.
The cover scan hasn’t been released yet but you can have any Brick and Mortar order it by tomorrow night FOC from Penguin Random House
EDGE OF SPIDER-VERSE 1 | Penguin Random House Comics Retail (prhcomics.com)
Or thru Diamond Comics SEP238628 - EDGE OF SPIDER-VERSE #1 SKOTTIE YOUNG VAR - Previews World
In case you are wanting to see it, he released the image on his IG yesterday. That is, if you haven’t already. Otherwise, it is still possible to order on previewsworld or comichub, if your LCS uses either of those.
Thank you. While I’m not someone who needs all of his stuff, I felt this was a particularly nice cover.
Back to the state of comics though…why do they make it so hard. Why is the cover being shown last minute? Why are LCS ordering platforms (mine uses one called comichub for everything we order, etc) not showing it, updated?
He has such a huge following…seems like they would want to really highlight the book.
It’s a fair question. It’s been available for pre-order through previews for weeks.
It may have been added after the initial covers were released. I’ve noticed some places like TFAW don’t go back and update information (such as pushed FOC dates or added variants) after they initially list a particular issue… so annoying.
And a lot of places seem to miss particular variants randomly as well. I try to order in bulk if I can, but it’s really hard finding one site that has every issue/variant I’m looking for in a given FOC. Dark Diminion is usually pretty good about offering everything and has decent discounts, such that it offsets the shipping costs if you buy enough no books. His shipping is top notch, though.
Is FOC super light because of the holiday? Comichub shows almost nothing on foc right now for me.
Yes. Very light the next few weeks.
Thanks!
What is the point of an ashcan inserted into an ongoing series???!
Money, they want more money. Just like their other exclusive they called a “bootleg” when it was an official item they were releasing… not an actual “bootleg”…
BOOM! just acting like BOOM!, catering to the suckers out there…
Also, they’re stripping the whole intent and idea of “ashcans” by doing this. They’re suppose to be free and just a few sent to each store as a preview, not marketed and sold. BOOM! are being stupid and if you buy this, you are part of the problem and only feeding into this nonsense. Yes, buy what you like but we should abide by the standards, not playing into BOOM!'s mockery of this industry.
Yup, or handed out at cons. Image, when it began, really profited off the whole Ashcan idea like we are seeing here. Both are/were cashgrabs and hype.
