I've never bought a tradepaperback of material I already own in order to get an "exclusive" short story in my entire life (I imagine many fans haven't). Just because I'm not going to do so now makes you mad? I don't get it.
It's fine that you don't want it, but what is bothersome is the fact that you have said it more than a few times now. It gives the impression that you don't care or approve of the new Valiant (even if that's not what you intended). I'm not a big fan of hard covers either and I've only collected a few, but I'm going to show support and buy this one regardless.
Sorry, I felt the poll was incomplete without a zero option so I pointed it out. Then MOTA wanted to discuss why if I didn't want to buy it again. It's never been a problem before to discuss projects you didn't want to buy, didn't appeal to you, etc so I didn't think it was a big deal for this one.
Keep in mind that people tend to repeat themselves when they have a discussion with MoTA.

Haven't seen a message board yet where the discussions weren't of a repetitive nature.

Now this thread just needs to turn gay and it will be complete...

Who said I was mad? Please don't try and put feelings to my posts that aren't there. As I'm sure you will get to read that 8-page story one way or another, what I said really was of little consequence, so there is no reason to try and make me a true bad guy. As most know, I can be an *SQUEE*, but I am by no means cruel or unusual while doing it.

That sums up my feelings well, DJ.

Sorry, your posted sounded mad or at the very least, insulting to me. If you didn't mean it that way, I apologize.

It's going to be interesting to see if Harbinger:The Beginning is going to be overprinted, or if perhaps there won't be anymore orders after the August advance reorder goes in.
I guess we should know soon.
The fact it's on Amazon and presumably other chain's websites could dry it up quicker than we think.
I doubt a massive overprint is in order, with the price being what it is.

It's on Amazon? I still can't find it on there at all.

I read that on the board here somewhere. Guess I was assuming that was the case.
Can anyone verify that it's on Amazon?
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response muzzsucker.
I felt compelled to check Barnes and Noble, and it's there as well.

Is there any chance these big guys will get a variant item from what comic stores will get, ie a different upc or different packaging?
I'm not sure if these guys get return rights or not on hardbacks.

That's strange. I did a search for "Harbinger The Beginning" on Amazon several hours ago and got nothing but it's certainly there now, complete with the "new" dust cover. I take it they're going to try to keep it in print for awhile if it's on sites like that

Sweet, too.

Even sweeter this is now available through B&N as well as Amazon. Anyone have a clue as to how this will effect the initial print run?

Not sure about the answer to your question.
I'm wondering if the Amazon and B & N copies will be at all different.

Yep, in about a month we'll be holding a new Jim Shooter story in our hands.
