We are showing DV20 to still release next week, and we have already received a pre-shipment report showing our order of the Sprouse variant to be incoming.

Now, with the winter bomb super cyclone that is apparently going to end the world, maybe there might be a delay. I know Lunar has shut their warehouse down today to let staff go home early.

I get why Midtown is charging $10 out the gate, but I hate the move.

Give people an at least a small allocation for cover price… then do the ‘sold out’ move … then back up at $10 a week after release… :angry:

F-ing Midtown. Jacked prices to $10 on Star Wars #20 and “found” some copies of Black Panther #3 and priced them at $20 after they had previously sold out.

They are selling DV20 for $10 and its not released yet?

Correct

Oh that midtown comics.

I’m used to them jacking up prices for ratios the week before. Is this a first for them on An open order book?

Land of the Living God #1 is coming out from Aftershock next week. It was pushed back one week. It’s written by a guy out of South Africa that has released movies and had a Netflix show. Very influenced by Akira. Seems cool and with recent acquisitions of media reps by Aftershock and Dead Day being picked up, it’s a book that should be watched (as are all Aftershock #1’s). Also, and someone with a diamond account verify, but I believe it is sold out at the distributor level.

I ordered 4 copies from them of that cover…separate orders. Paid $2.99 plus $5 shipping each. Got all of them.

I can’t recall, just remember a year or two back we were griping about it here.
