X-O #2 2nd printing

Sort of swept under the rug in all the A&A chatter....anyone have luck finding a copy of the X-O #2 reprint at your LCS? Mine was cool enough to order me one for my pull list.

I should have a batch coming from DCBS. We'll see.

My LCS had three copies and I bought two.

I have a set. I haven't seen them though, picking it up later on.

I picked up one copy today after buying 5 A&A #1s.
The dude at the LCS looked at me and asked with a snarky tone "Are there any left?"
I said "Yup."
He said again with a snarky tone, "I guess I should've ordered more."
Me: "Guess you should have."

I get about spreading the wealth, but I bought 5 books. 3 are one cover, 2 of the other. I didn't take the whole frakkin' shelf.
I'm handing the place my money, and if people sleep on it (like I did when Harby #1), shame on them.

Love the XO2 second print. Looks great. Great cover paper stock.

I hate when a store does that....I put them all back and say have a nice day I will go to the other 4 shops in town that are grateful that I buy up their excess issues. Its only happened twice and the clerk at the store kinda gave in and I just shrugged my shoulders and said whatever.

I got 2 sets and surprisingly bumped with another board member Mr RufusHarley.

Like ELVEEN would say. That guy is a cool cat!

Cover stock on the XO 2nd print is improved. Looks like the FCBD book. Thanks VEI.

Got mine today along with my A&A reg and pb. retailer had it held for me in my pullbox as well thankfully bc I didn't see any other copies on the shelf. If I do i'll grab them and anyone that needs one can have it for cover + shipping. unless you're a *SQUEE* then it's $100

I bought two today myself and was just thinking the same thing. You can feel the difference in the cover stock. Thanks VEI!

Do we have a guesstimate on the print run for it?

Mine didn't have any on the shelf either, but I heard them mention they're holding off on putting them out until they sell all of their first printings they still have on their shelf.

Got 0. Diamond screwed us royal on a +a as well. 3 effing copies reg cover. It was supposed to be 43, of which I was taking over half and the variants. It's ok.. I only had to go to 3 shops to find my copies in decent shape. Which you know is no big deal cause it's not like this was the ONE title I was looking forward to... Not like it's my 2nd favorite of all time... Not like I've been waiting near on 2 decades..

Not that I'm bitter or anything...

kevinbastos · Post by **kevinbastos** » Wed Aug 08, 2012 6:49 pm

I might want one of those...

Picked up two today, one store got 8 copies, the other store got 10 copies. Both were more than the third print of X-O #1.

About to find out if the ones I ordered came in or not...

I have two stores both only a couple of blocks away from me. I'll seriously keep dropping both on a regular basis and try to grab a few. I've been kinda doing that anyway esp since I lucked out once and got an X-O #1 Aja 1:20 for cover price off the shelf.

bribri · Post by **bribri** » Thu Aug 09, 2012 9:37 am

Very disappointed. So far my LCS has ordered everything. This was the first book/print they've missed. They didn't get X-O #2, which sucks because they said they were going to get at least one of everything for my pullbox. Damn it.

If anybody is interested I am selling copies of X-O Manowar #2 second printing for cost plus shipping at this thread

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=37775&p=807845#p807845" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

This way everybody has a chance to own a copy.

I saw a single copy at an LCS near me. It was so beat-up that I just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on it.

I should be getting some from Ed, since I singed up for all reprint covers.

It took a second reading before I got the reference.

LABRADORIAN · Post by **LABRADORIAN** » Thu Aug 09, 2012 9:52 pm

does the second print have a different kind of paper then the normal cover or is just normal paper cover?

It is noticeably heavier. I'm hoping this is a portent of things to come.
