Re: A decision that I had to make regarding A&A...

The art change is # 5 was not a help considering how outstanding the first 4 were, but it wasnt awful, just would have prefered the 1st full App of EW to be a bit tidier. Other than that all books seem more than solid.

Re: A decision that I had to make regarding A&A...

I thought all the titles were pretty strong in their own right, plus different enough that I can really compare them or put them in any order.
We are selling great numbers across the board and A&A is right up there as a store favourite :)

Re: Spider-Man 698

I normally try to avoid spoilers, but its real hard when you are a retailer trying to make sure all your customers are catered for. You cant pre order every book that Marvel say will be important, then sometimes they dont say at all, lol Ill have a few extras for sale no doubt, but will snag some mo...

Re: New Valiant variants for sale, mine, but could be yours

This was a second batch of these books from a few weeks back, this lot didnt perform as well to be fair, but the last lot went insane with a couple of 1:20 hitting £30.00 :O

Next batch will go on here first :)

Re: Why all the Ninjak hate?

I was never a fan of the character, as it came out when i think Valiant as a whole was already past it's best and so the ideas for characters such as Ninjak were not too great in return. That said it wasnt anything to do with the James Bond Ninja mix, just never interested me from the get go, but on...

Re: Nice Job On The Paper Quality, VEI!

The variants have all been mishandled at distribution level and the paper quality might not have helped being thinner than usual, but like above pretty sure many publishers have made the cut to a thinner style at some point.

Re: Valiant 2012

So a new book hits the streets that is a preview and the prices probably went a bit nuts due to the existence of ourselves as a group of fans, known to want pretty much everything that exists involving Valiant. I figured VEI would be either smart enough to print enough of these to last and at some p...
