It’s too early for exclusives. There will be a bunch.

Bluecontroller · July 23, 2021, 9:43pm

You should put one up on your site, who knows some random high roller might buy it just because.

faele · July 23, 2021, 10:43pm

I’m going to!

Would’ve been better if it was signed by Emilia or Keanu in red ink and numbered.

Not a fan of landscape covers in a comic book tbh

There already are asking for big money.

Yes, I’ve seen some 1:50 ratios selling for 10$. I have a tough time with ratios these days as it’s hard to say what’s going to hold value but the Del Mundo House of Slaughter is such an amazing cover, I just don’t know if I can justify the expenditure.

From what some stores said Boom said apparently only 25 store exclusives allowed for house of slaughter

agentpoyo · August 25, 2021, 4:03pm

Only 25? Geez… why stop at 25… might as well just let all stores who want to do an exclusive do one…

locksmithcomics · August 25, 2021, 4:19pm

I think this is a title that the amount of exclusives just doesn’t matter. Maybe a couple of them will hit due to low print run. This is going to be so heavily ordered, we’ll see these on walls for cover price for years.

How many 1st appearances of secondary characters in these indie books ever matter? Walking Dead #19… and that’s about it.

Something is Killing the Children #1 is the book that will matter. Those super low print run books from 1-5 will matter. I don’t think HoS will matter at all when the show finally goes somewhere. I spec on damn near everything and I’m not even bothering with this one.

agentpoyo · August 25, 2021, 4:30pm

Print runs don’t necessarily matter if the demand exceeds supply and availability. In terms of HOS, the issue I see here is this is a spin-off of SIKTC so that alone is a ding against the spec-ability of it. Spin-offs judging by past history don’t seem to carry the “hotness” of the original story they were spun off from. So yes, high print run will make it so much easier to get and obtain for quite some time as well before the potential “demand” exceeds the supply!

Joe · August 25, 2021, 4:52pm

Sounds like the minimum print run for HOS exclusives has jumped up to 1,000, too. Stores know this is going to be a sh*tshow, so some have already started selling the books even though they can’t show the covers for a while yet.

rjahn98 · August 25, 2021, 4:59pm

Can’t remember the last time (if ever) store exclusives went on presale without a cover and sold out (at least in the US). I’m a fan of Tao’s work and was going to wait to see the cover first but maybe I can’t. Big time FOMO.

LoveBox · August 25, 2021, 5:04pm

The issue is also speculation. Because we know damn well a lot of people are gonna order 5 10 or 20 copies lol
