I think I was the only one at my store to walk away with the Maleev cover, only because I preordered it. _________________

Mack!, I picked up both covers, I thought they were both spectacular. Maleev has an eye for everything. _________________ Bendis Board's Secretary of Fine Pussy

I've heard a lot of people's stores being sold out of the Kabuki issue before they can get it.
Did this happen to anyone here? |
Yeah the store I got the books from had both in mass quantities and they looked to be selling well from a pretty high volume store here in the city. Maleev's cover was definitely the eye-catcher and I always love seeing other high quality artists on your characters...do two titles at once! (one with your art and one with everyone else)
BUT, what is unfortunate is that a lot of other places I know of in my tri-state area didn't get your title in with enough issues and sell-outs were happening all over the place. "Sell outs" sounds nice, but when a store in a mall only gets in like 15 copies or another only gets in 10...it isn't all that thrilling to hear because if your issue is gone on that first day that comics come in....anyone who comes in the next day, etc...isn't gonna know it is there.
We've gotta get the retailers to "smarten up" when making orders. They've no idea how much influence the commen comic-store clerk has on a given customer. _________________ SimplyJD Online - Convention coverage, comic news, interviews, rumors,

Question for Mack: Any plans for other variant covers by other artists? I would again, buy both covers.

I had both preordered from the first solicitation... so she made darn sure to have me a copy of each cover waiting for me... Tonia pulled the last copy (a Maleev) cover for Brian and Angel (the couple that was with us at WW Texas)... by the time I got to teh shop at 5, they were all gone and I had her order heavy...
Just proof that great comics do get the attention they deserve from time to time...

Preordered them both and am happy.
David, the only thing I didn't like was the quotes on the cover of your version, I felt the text kind of distracted from some of the art. Nice art too.
Whocares; I am sure you can get one from either Mack, or a vendor at the comic expo in August.
good luck. _________________

Got both but felt the solicitations (?) on the regular cover detracted from it. Was I the only one who felt this way? |

My store had it and saved me a copy. They said they got a 50/50 shipment of the covers, so there were enough. Beautiful indeed. _________________ "I can't take no more, what are we fighting for? You are my brothers, each one I would die for." - Korn |

Thanks RangerChic,
No real plans for any other variant covers by other artists. But since you suggested it, I'm open to considering it.
Who would you like to see? Anyone else have feelings about this?
Adam Hughes is going to be doing a piece of Kabuki art, I could use that for a varient cover for a future issue. Would readers here like to see an Adam Hughes Kabuki cover? |
