That blind bag does not exist.

It won’t exist…

So they cancelled the blind bag or is this something else?

It was removed prior to FOC

Ah got it…

If Aftershock is working on things not named WE LIVE, they are dumb.

Man, that DCKO crossover interest seems to have dried up quickly.

Root canal is done. Novacaine has worn off…Waiting at pharmacy for pain meds…can’t fill that script soon enough…

Feel better. I dealt with that last year. Thought root canal meant end of pain. Nope!

Rich Johnston literally saying “comics are selling, what the hell is going on?” People have been waiting for good comics. Well written. Notice Marvel isn’t in any of the books they are talking about. They are continuing the same play book they have always used.

This feels a lot different than 2012. Didn’t Saga that was well hyped only had a 30K print run and the numbers grew organically by word of mouth? All these Image indies that were hits barely cracked 20K print run back then. We’re now getting 100K print runs out of the gate and 75K print 2nd prints on these indie books. This is a lot different it seems.

White sky 1 second print had a print run reaching 30k surpassing the print run of the first print meaning the first print was less than 30k

I swear some comic shops on comic hub just don’t want to ship comics.

$18 to ship one book…ground advantage. WTF?

That would indicate that our guesses of a print run of around 25,000 were probably pretty accurate.

Be quick, sigs and remarks

Did Murder Drones #1 1:100 even go up on MCS?

I am thinking the low key play for next week may be Narco #1. Sounds stupid but sold out quick on Midtown. 3 copies on eBay and that is it.

I am not going heavy but will grab a couple next week for sure and keep an eye on it.
