dc20willsave Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 So, instead of being stuck with multiple sets of dead stock, retailers can be stuck with one big one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuaveStar Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 So, the blackest night tie-in issues, with the rings? Also, seems like they are just sticking their middle fingers up to DC, and how much would a deadpool variant sell for, I would say, to cover costs and 50 lost issues, around $30 minimum, and what if they don't sell it, then they are stuck with it.

Guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 A shiny Deadpool issue. Cool. They'll have something to put next to all of those unsold issues of Marvel Apes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tnr105 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Does anyone else recall the second Robin miniseries with the shiny stickers on the covers... yeah, those are collectibles... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I think "pathetic" covers this pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamvidger Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Or comic stores could ship all those comics with the covers attached (bagged and boarded too), to me, and then they will receive a free mint condition imaginary hug, imaginary signed by none other than me, from GrahamIsAwesome Publishing Inc. (That's worth much more than some stinking Deadpool Variant!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Real mature Marvel. This just in! DC responds by publishing good comics. Marvel puzzled by how to react. Perhaps with a shocking and confusing press release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 "DC is putting out better stories than us, boss." "Who cares, did you see this new Iron Man armor? Get the press on this." "We already tried that. Any other ideas?" "COVERS! NEW SHINIER COVERS!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James D. Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Forgive my ignorance, but what is a "stripped cover"? Is it a cover that's been torn off of the rest of the book...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Instead of sending the whole book back, stores tear the cover off and mail those in for a refund. It saves money in shipping costs. Next time you pick up a novel, check the first few pages; you'll see something like, "Sales of this book without a front cover are unauthorized."

Guest Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 This is my cue to say that stripping books is a massive pain in the ass, especially when you have to strip 500 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Here's what the Deadpool cover looks like. Too be honest, I'm kinda getting tired of Deadpool and longing for the days when it was looking like Emma was going to be the hot new overexposed character (though she tended to be under-exposed. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Wow, they had the perfect chance to have an awesome variant(Like Thor with an Ipod, I don't care about Thor, but I wanted that variant cover, it looked awesome) and they come out with this piece of shit. Fuck Marvel. Who would buy that for $100? I wouldn't buy a regular issue with that cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Wow. 2010: the year Marvel became completely irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
