If anyone is still specing on SIKTC I think the Frison foil variant is waaaaaay undervalued. If anything ever happens with the property that image will become part of the show or film or whatever. Maybe even the movie poster. Cover A doesn't have that sort of potential IMO. Not saying it should be worth more than Cover A necessarily but IMO it should be much closer  

E: of course all of the hype is based on the presumption that this will be developed... which might be enough interest to ensure it does get optioned somewhere :kidaround:

I was asking one of my friends about this and he said that shops are required to send all the extra copies back to the distributor after midnight last night.

Huh? No way this shop sold them all then. Place was empty and it was after 5.

I can’t believe a book from less than 2 years ago with at least a 33k order run is going for this much. This is wild.

Nothing like a bit of TV/movie speculation to help prices on any book. (thumbsu

I just saw that a raw SIKTC 1 1st print sold for $700 yesterday. I only have one copy but I’m tempted to let it go.

Seriously! 700 for a raw!!! thats insane. I need to dig out my copy and sell while the going is good.

And for those of you that do not read Tynion's blog (https://jamestynioniv.substack.com/about?utm_source=menu-dropdown), here is a snippet on Wynd that you may want to take note of:

So yeah, If you have any teens who love fantasy in your lives or in your shops, or really anyone who loves coming-of-age fantasy adventure stories with queer characters, you should put a copy of WYND vol. 1 in their hands, and get them to put Wynd on their pull-lists.

Also: Not to put too fine a point on it, but I miiiiiiiiiiiiiight have some meetings in the next few weeks that, if they go well, could make it worthwhile to get on this series on the ground floor.

IMO, SIKTC still has room to grow if it really is going to make it on a streamer. I do think it will and I think it will be popular. That genre does well and it fits with what Netflix does. Budget wouldn't be that high either so I bet it gets done. Im hanging onto all my SIKTC books for a while longer. I spec'd on Jupiter's Legacy a couple years ago and I think one reason it isn't resonating well is just the saturation of super-hero tv series (and the quality of them). SIKTC will feel original and fresh in comparison. Wider audience. 

As for the bubble, I think its gonna take a recession or something hitting the economy to significantly slow it down, but we'll see.

He is a smart creative trying to generate interest in his work. I have no issue with that. It is the creators like Cates that pimp their stuff then get pissy with speculators that I don't care for.

"Get in on ground floor" sounds hypish

Yeah they limit one per customer and everything else gets sent back. So if the hero becomes important in the future this may be pretty rare

Not everyone can get to a shop on wed. That is dumb

This was all supposed to be a way to try to get in the good graces with retailers after getting allocated on Eniac #1.
 

I don’t think retailers had to pay for these copies. The only rules were that could not “sell” the books until Wednesday and that all unsold copies had to be returned. 
 

I put sell in quotes because shops could take your payment info ahead of time and just not run your sale until Wednesday.

Which is fine. He wants $$$ in his pocket, and if it comes from speculators he has no issues with it. In this case, anyone buying Wynd 1 will be doing it on the back issue market and he will see zero from any lift there. 

Then you have creators like Cates that pimp their work as well, and then turn around and complain about the speculators who are buying copious amounts of his books. His promotion of Crossover was worse than anything Tynion has done IMHO.
