Wait until you see "The Disciple". [img]eek.gif[/img]
He's only on a few pages, but pop over to the white board and check out my description of him. [img]smile.gif[/img] (I'll scan pics when I get home tonight)
Damn! I should have had you pick one up for me... Does All-Star have the 5th cover?
My comic shop won't have them for sale until 4 PM today - so I plan to be there at that time [img]smile.gif[/img]

BuyMeToys has all five covers in stock, but I think they'll go fast because they purchased with the idea that there will be FOUR covers.
If each person who bought 4 covers picks up one extra.... they'll be sold out in no time.
BTW... each issue is double sized and $4.95.
Damn! there's no way i'm going to get there in time [img]frown.gif[/img]
Just called over there and they're already sold out. [img]eek.gif[/img]
They opened at 11:00.

Worst case scenario.... Mile High in New York almost always has everything in stock, their shipping is very reasonable, and they're fast.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Same here.Quote:

I usually just order from them as well, but Hile High only has one issue on sale with no reference to the cover (atleast this morning - seems they aren't listing it now at all).
Mid Town comics only had 3 of the covers for order on the delivery page.
Honestly, I'd be a bit raw if I were a comic dealer and I ordered quantities expecting there to be four evenly distributed covers... that suddenly became 5.
Might not seem like a big deal at first... until you realize that everyone who wants all the covers suddenly takes 5 copies instead of 4... reducing the number you have left to stock the shelves with. Instant sell out before the shelves are even properly stocked.
Yep - I am hoping TMP worked it out with them prior and informed them, but I would guess not.
I am just hoping beyond hope I can get the covers. otherwise I'm going to be hitting other shops wayyy out of my normal haunts or resorting to eBay which you know is going to be going through the roofs on these.
HOT DAMN IM SO PUMPED TO NOT BE ABLE TO GET THIS! [img]frown.gif[/img]
I got all of them and they're spectacular!!!
My fav is colored Todd's. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Goddamn, the comic shop up here at school sucks. Not a single issue when I went.
That means I'm going to have to wait until Friday to hit the good comic shop back home. [img]mad.gif[/img]
Picked up ultimate secret as well.
How long until Ultimate.... um.... Gah Lac Tus Ass Kick?

i just got back from picking all 5 copies up. all the covers are great and from the quick flip through the story looks awesome as well
Bettin' that they didnt order me a copy of the 5th
cover when I ordered my set.
Was going to wait till friday afternoon to run over there.
Now I'll be running over there tommorow.
Thanks for the heads up though.
I can see where this one has caught a lot by surprise. Not having it listed for order and added in did mess up the place I normally go to.
I was lucky to get the last but one full set and the last extra sketch cover.
The guy running the place said it hit him hard, especially those that he had to put the box orders in with all the hold orders.
He only had 4 5-sets for others to buy
Think I stopped getting Spawn around #120 or so......but I do want to pick up (just) one copy of #150~
& if I do, you know I'll end up having to get the ones I didn't get.............
[img]confused.gif[/img]
I am still going through reading from the 60s to 141.
picked it up at 141 and have been reading through current.
Hope to have the ends meet at some point [img]wink.gif[/img]
Actually, this fifth cover REALLY hurt the retailers for another reason. Let's say they ordered 40 sets. that would have been 160 comics. But now it's NOT forty sets, it's only thirty-two sets. Eight of their customers will get NONE of the comics! 20% of the store's regulars are going to be disappointed, and may go elsewhere.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">A lot of comic buyers aren't going to be interested in buying a full set though. Most comic shops order more than enough comics to cover those who request them, which should leave enough of some of the covers for others to buy.Quote:

My comic shop here is so small and only open for 3 hours a day....4-7pm. By the time I get off work drive a half hour home check the dogs and then another half hour there it's 5 pm then as my luck usually holds out either the moron didn't order them or he's closed. Sometimes I hate living in a small town.
my comic shop ordered tons of them. plenty of sets to go around, i never have to order anything in advance because theres always plenty of everything.
Well I did luck out.
The lady at the comic shop did pull
one of the 5th cover for me.
Not only that but the 5 comics cost me less then
20 bucks.
The 30% discount for pulled comics sure came in handy this time.
cool to hear Burke-s!
They are all good covers to have. Far better to me than the offering that was given for issue #100
They're on the way from my comic shop. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Hope to have them today.
