The Disciples - Black Mask

How many covers for this one

[d19113]

So far I am seeing a regular cover and BAM variant

[carcrawfordfan]

I also see a SSalefish Variant limited to 250 and a Rubber Chicken Comics Variant limited to 250. Forbidden Planet/Jetpack have some sort of dual variant and it is probably safe to say that they made more than 250 copies of that. The regular cover is, by far, the best cover visually (IMO). I hope that is all the covers for this one and I do like that 2 of the shop variants are pretty limited.

This one's going to take off, I agree that Cover A looks the best.

 

New to this game, when print runs are the same as with the SSalefish and Rubber Chicken both being 250 is it a crapshoot as to which becomes the more valued of the covers?

[krighton]

I tend to gravitate towards the regular cover when there's variants from places I've never heard of......may get BAM also

 

Regular cover looks like a Descender 1 homage.

I'm thinking the scream cover is the coolest. None of my locals ordered this book, but they all seem pissed that they didn't.

[kapzilla]

Regular cover is by far my favorite which hopefully I can grab, then I like the forbidden planet but I'm not going to buy it due to the book having several variants. Will be interesting to see what happens with the two shop variants being limited to 250 and nods to Wes craven.

 

Craven SS anyone?

Book can still be bought for 7.67 shipped.

[Real Elijah Snow]

I would say that the Ssalefish one is the best bet. Only 250 and it's the classiest homage. The current price tag looks like a bargain with how quickly the regular cover is selling. 3 sold at that price already.

[freecharlie]

The ssalefish is nice too, as they offer free shipping and a best offer option.

[Real Elijah Snow]

I would jump on these now. I think he's only going to offer a small amount at that price (or around that price since the best offer option is there), and 250 total is a ridiculously low #. It's where I've put my $ for this title.

Has anyone given it a read yet? Any good?

From the black mask studios website. http://kingsroadmerch.com/black-mask-studios/

 

Only 4 left of the scream and 20 of the elm street.

i can't get any cheaper than $10.99 shipped unless there's a coupon

 

[freecharlie]

There's two shipping options one for seven dollars and one for 3.69.

Bought it, read it...kinda liked it. Kinda.

 

It's almost literally the same book as Caliban #1 (came out last year I think?). Seriously, the books are nearly identical, including the last page. So...hopefully they have a different story to tell?

[krighton]

Not exactly sold on the standard 'Religious Freaks' storyline....though some comic writers might be hard to convince you can be 'religous' and not be a 'freak'. I'd like to see them try to sell 'Athiest Freaks' sometime and see how it goes down.

[Real Elijah Snow]

Looks like 18 have sold @$19 (or close to it) for the Ssalefish variant today.

Full disclosure: I bought a decent stack of these. I certainly hope the book does well, but I haven't read it yet.

A lot of things get optioned these days, but the quality of the book itself will decide what happens in the near future. I happen to like Niles quite a bit. If it does end up being a show that's even decent the current price for either of the 250 run variants will seem almost free. A 250 print run will not last very long.

 

[Awax]

Just got back from my LCS

 

While there they got 2 calls looking for this book and the owner calling to pull what's left off the shelf, if any.

 

I got one
