I just got your mail today. I loved all 3 issues, I can't wait for the fourth tomorrow.

[TomStillwell]

Awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed the books.

Diamond left it off our list, no cancelation, or late shipping notice. Yet it says order filled on our initial order. Will you be at Comic Con? Just in case we can't fill our orders thru our local network.

It may come next week since my printer was late getting it to Diamond. I don't know if Diamond was able to ship it out to everyone in time to release this week.

I won't be at Comic Con but your store can contact me for copies if Diamond falls through.

I am so rooting for you, Tom. Have you gotten any returns on the numbers yet? Any sort of review from the media or bloggers?

It is out tomorrow?

Thought it was out today!

It is on my pull list, not sure when I will have time to get it though.

The numbers are decent. They'd be better if Diamond was more consistant with filling orders and more retailers listened to their shoppers. I find it alarming that readers who want the book either

a). Have retailers who won't order it.
b). Have retailers running into issues with Diamond.
c). Have to go directly to the creator in order to get copies.

The reviews are good. Check out the News section of my site. The link is in my signature.

Today. The first post was made yesterday.;)

I simply can't understand a retailer who wouldn't order something a regular customer ASKED for. There's no logic behind that.

At any rate, I really dug issue four, Tom. Threw you a review at CX, too. (http://www.comixtreme.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35664)

Thanks Blake!

Yeah, I don't understand it myself.

In college I managed a Blockbuster and I had a customer who weekly came in to order movies that were not readily available. He was a pain in the ass but I tracked down his movies and the guy spent thousands of dollars in the store every year.

I could have blown him off and the business would have went elsewhere.

In this case the readers are coming to me and cutting out the retailer's share of the profit altogether.

It's just poor business sense.

That's one of the reasons I love my local shop. Not only do they order anything I ask, but they really go out of their way for back orders and the like. And when a regular orders something obscure, they usually order a few extra copies for the shelf -- I ordered Honor Brigade, and they got extras to put out for perusal.
