They made their own beer!

Anyway, fan rewards are fun. Manufactured collectibles are not.

Well said Magnus. To me the difference is that Golds were fan incentives (show us how big of a fan you are) and not retailer incentives (how many books to you sell).

Then I guess I have been pronouncing it wrong all these years.
I have done you an injustice sir.

Not quite that bad of an injustice.

Me too. But not the same as yours, I'd suspect.

DL wrote:I have a question for you guys (and I'm sure it was discussed somewhere on your board so sorry for the repeat). The gold and silver Valiant books really helped fuel the Valiant explosion. We're you guys into it at the time. I kind of liked the fan aspect of it "send us a picture of what a big fanatic you are and get this special thing". However I was always against premium/alt. cover books. I wished they did something else, like T-shirts or crack cocaine. I was against the whole card 0 issue thing at Defiant, too. I like the collector aspect of comics (I think most of us have that gene somewhere) but I hate falsely created stuff that feeds into it. Harb #1 being worth a lot makes sense. The print run was small, the company got big...But--

Anyway, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you guys got so much fun out of it, that it was a good thing. Should I be looking at this differently?

I've never cared for equally spit variant covers because I seem them as
a waste of time, money, and trees. If you want to do a variant cover then
do them like the Frank Miller covers to All-Star Batman and Robin
where Miller's covers are the rare ones and while I like the inter-locking
covers what I don't like is having to buy the same issue 2-4 time to get the image. I'm also not a big fan of variant covers for every single issue of a series, IDW's Transformers is a prime (no pun intended) example of this. If I bought all six issues of Escalation with the all variant covers I would be spending close to $50. I don't have the money,
room, time, or energy to waste on that crap.

Generally I buy comics to read and not to collect for future financial gain.

I agree 100% with the review. Another great issue of a great book.

This book and Locke & key are my 2 favorite books currently as far as stories.

DL, I dont know if this was asked previously, but will you be at the SDCC this year? I would love to meet you and have you do a sketch for me.

Went to a LCS on Friday and picked up YL #4. They did not order any YL#3 last month but now they have about 10 copies of YL#3 and YL#4.
