Buffy Comic sold out yesterday!

[satyrnfive]

So for those of you that didn't know...the Buffy Season 8 #1 came out yesterday. I read it and I have to say it's incredible. I *heart* Joss Whedon.

But what shocked me is that it sold out at the distributor and manufacturer already. Dark Horse is rushing back to press to print new 2nd printing copies but WOW. I really didn't expect it to sell this quick. I guess stores underestimated the number of Buffy fans that are still there. :)

So if you want a copy I still have some on the shelf that be purchased here from me:
http://www.atlantis-comics.com/store/home.php

Or you can find a local store using this:

Really I'm just being selfish...I just want to talk about it with people that have read it. :)

Season 8

Bought 2 copies Wed. I now have a standing order for two every month.
As a comic retailer, can you tell me whatever happened to just being able to subscribe to a comic, and have it mailed to you?
I mean i like my comic store, but it's about 20 minutes away from my house downtown, and is kind a pain to have to keep driving down there for just that.

I think the only companies that do that are Marvel and maybe DC. It's a lot of extra logistics I would guess to handle all the subscritions and for companies that don't have tons of different titles it's probably not worth it to do a subscription department.

Also think on this: If a company starts really pushing subscriptions then as a store owner I start pushing other comics from other companies because I don't want to put time and money supporting a company that's going to cut me out the first chance they get.

The big thing is that almost everyone I've talked to who has had a subscription has had problems with comics being damaged or late. And most people like their comics in good shape since they're collectible.

I don't about your local store but we offere an in store subscription service and also a mail order service. If you didn't want to go to the store once a month you could always ask them to ship it to you. If they don't want to I certainly would. :)

Received and read. Now where are you so we can talk about it?

(I also sort of stumbled onto the Dark Horse site - when I googled it - and I read spoilers for the next three issues.)

I just bought one from your online store. :) I figured if I'm going to give out money for it, it should be to you.

[satyrnfive.livejournal.com]

Yay! Go capitalism. Thanks for the order. :)

[lamia2.livejournal.com]

I finally got it. Read it on the way home. Couldn't wait. Now I'm sitting on my hands waiting for the next issue.
Buffy is just so damn addicting. *sigh*

If your hands begin tingling and you feel pins and needles then you may want to get up. I hate for you to have to get them amputated due to blood loss. ;) You'd probably hate it more though.

Hey Saturn Just went on and ordering the buffy comic book .... thanks...

[dhfreak.livejournal.com]

Sorry just wanted to ask one more thing, how long will it take for it to arrieve.

[satyrnfive.livejournal.com]

I just finished packing it and am about to print the label. :) Most of the comics I sent got there in 2-3 days but it might be 3-5 since you're all the way "over there." :)
