Red Foil Version? That is just stupid, come up w/a new cover/concept or dont do it at all, you dummies.
Way to keep it polite, fish taco. I am sure calling the people behind the scenes names is a great way to get them to do what you'd like. A reasoned argument or enthusiastic request, that would be for suckers!
Alex, you know I speak the truth, you big dummy!
Taco - I guess I could call you Fish, but I like Taco better. We like the keeping the look of the books uniform. So that when they are on a shelf, they look cool. Are we dumb, perhaps. But do we look good...yes we do!
Hey Shawn, Im just curious are they gonna have a TOTAL of 1500 throughout the weekend or they limited, say like 500 each day. I wont be there til Sunday and HOPING to get one of these... but if its just 1500, first come first served basis, it will be gone by day one :'(
Dennis - There will be an allocation for each day.
AWESOME, thanx!
Oh, I also wanted to ask, is the Kirkman signing def. confirmed? Because I do not see ANY info on the official NYCC website... :(
Dennis - Yes, Robert is signing those days listed.
Actually Taco, you don't. I disagree and I'm doing it politely and it's maddening for you.
How does one get a copy of the "Thief of Thieves" hardcover without going to New York?
Rob - Keep checking the site and our Twitter feed for more info.
Hi, Robert. any chance you'll bring your books to Beautiful Colorado? The Walking Dead Series. Has a large Fan base herr.:-)
Will there be a lottery ticketing system like there was at SDCC for both the Thieves & Red Foil books?
Alyssa - They will be "first come, first serve".
will they be available for purchase on Thursday, Oct. 11th?
Dennis - Yes, they will be available on Thursday as well.
Hi, Robert. any chance you'll bring your books to Beautiful Colorado? The Walking Dead Series. Has a large Fan base herr.:-)
I was hoping to see a Compendium #2 LE Hardcover at NYCC. Any chance that'll be coming out?
@Mike - Since Compendium 2 just came out, we figured we needed to give it some time to breathe before we put a hardcover on it.
