Re: UNCONFIRMED new Unity Variant

Yesteryear Comics in San Diego is another. :)

I believe that they'll have more details on their Facebook account. Couldn't get anything else. Most likely selling their store exclusive via eBay.

Re: Unity Red Preview Condition and Shipping

Mine has a slight, straight line crease on the far right side of the front cover. My guess would be a 8.5 also. :(

Unity #1 Store Variants?

Seems like there may be 5+ stores who will have Unity #1 store variants. More to hunt down, maybe?

Re: Underrated Scarcity in some VEI's 1:50s

From what I've heard from a couple of local retailers here is that stores, who are associated with Bleeding Cool (maybe listed in the issues), are providing their price and sales figures as a litmus for secondary market values. I don't think that eBay is being taken into consideration.

Re: Underrated Scarcity in some VEI's 1:50s

Shredding books seems like the dumbest thing anyone or any company could possibly do. :? I was totally shocked to hear about the shredding. I also read up about the 1k print minimum. Also just read that VEI follows a particular policy in assigning variants to coincide with story development and not...

This was in a conversation that I've had with him before SDCC. We were talking about Shadowman movie scripts, Hollywood's numerous pitches, the price of the Liberty variant, Unity and the sustainability of unearned variant copies. He's a very bright dude.

Underrated Scarcity in some VEI's 1:50s

For those who are speculating on VEI issues based on scarcity, if you take the below factors into account, I think the three below 1:50 variants are ridiculously scarce IMO. * Ratios are conservative if shops' orders creep between 20-40 max. (can lower estimate) * 1:50 variant print runs do not equa...

Re: Favorite books, new and old?

VH1 - BWS A&A, Rai #0 (even though it's technically not Shooter's), Solar and Bob Hall's Shadowman.
VEI - Dysart's Harbinger way over VH1 Harby and Bloodshot.

Speculations on Timing of Unity & Rest of VEI Universe

Two interesting things about timing for the next several months: (1) Sect Civil War series starts in October. Will Unity, if #1 is coming in November, occur outside of Sect Civil War? Could the Unity, X-O, Bloodshot and Harbinger issues depict the events for the protagonists, while A&A Sect Civi...

Re: Shadowman Dream Cast

Here's my shot at a "Hollywood-friendly" Shadowman cast

Shadowman: Michael Ealy (mature/rugged), Khleo Thomas (if you wanna go the teen route) or Jesse Williams (for young sophisticated).
Master Darque: bald Jonathan Rhys Meyers (acting chops galore)
Nettie: Kerry Washington

Maybe Gold Key characters coming into the fray? What better timing to make the universe grow with new ongoing series with Turok and Solar (a la Eternal Warrior & A&A in the original) going against X-O and Bloodshot - or better yet all against Master Darque's sister. That Shadowman #13X (adva...
