View Full Version : Scott Reed's Overman 12/5/07
I'm a retailer, and I unpacked and put this new book from YABS's own Scott "Websbestcomics" Reed, published by image on the shelf about 11:20 a.m., roughly 8 minutes ago. It's getting a fast response, and some have moved already.
More news as it happens.

Chris Hansbrough also says......it wasn't good. I expected it to be good and that's not what I got. I didn't get good. and that pisses me off. because I got great. and that means I've got to buy all of it and I don't have a job

That's way too long for a cover blurb! We're sticking with, "Fuck yeah!"

It's on my "to buy" list, definitely. I just have to get round to putting an order in; it looks aces though.

One more thing to add to the list. Man, I really need to get to the store. I'm sooooo behind. :o
Okay, after 1 day of sales, we've seen 40% sell-thru. A couple of copies are sitting in peoples reserves, so there's more guaranteed sales to come.
Diamond (the company which all LCS's have to deal with) may or may not still have copies of this in stock, it's hard to tell at this point (they are still processing from Wednesday, so any standing inventory is sorta reserved for covering damages and missing shipments).
The order for this went in back in October, and there's no way for a LCS to adjust the orders of Image books once placed, so if you didn't tell your LCS by then, well...
However, there may still be some still kicking around. Go and ask your LCS, they should be able to help (if Diamond is holding stock).

Okay, we're having a slow week here in my store, so these numbers shouldn't be typical.
So far, 50% sell-thru on Overman #1. Usually that number would be higher, but the snow and sleet outside is keeping people from coming in.

and thanks everyone for supporting Scott in this.
For someone who suffers from insecurity like Scott, I think he needs as much support as he can get.

And it's totally possible! Dave Sim did it. And John Byrne, too! Don't test him, man!
