When I went to my LCS yesterday they had plenty 157 cover A. Cover B they were light on.

The Adams variant was solicited late, if I recall, so it makes sense if the orders were lower on it. I would imagine that stores will correct for it with the rest of the variants if needed.

I don't think it was solicited late. The image of the book was shown later but the book itself was solicited at the same time as cover A, so maybe shops held out on the Adams cover until they saw it.

My LCS didn't even get any of what they ordered.

My mistake. I thought it was solicited later.

Holding out until an image is finally posted is the smart way to go. I learned that the hard way with past bulk spec buys that are sitting in long boxes in my basement.

I just picked up a Cover B ( Adams ) of 157 from my LCS

 

 

Looks even nicer in hand.

 

I think I'll get a set of 9.8's of these. They will look awesome.

 

 

Was 157 under-ordered? Are you guys all seeing sell outs in your local area?

My main comic shop was out of both covers when I got there (an hour after they opened on Wednesday)

My secondary shop was out of the Adams cover

So here's the photos from Cynthiana the other day. Pulling up Google Maps may help a little bit. Comic Book World, 3 of the Collectible Etc's, and the Lexington Comic Con were set up, various other vendors, and a ton of zombies.

Here's part of what I would later find out to be Kirkmans line. This was at the Church and Pike street. First United Methodist Church in the background.

Looking west down Pike street towards the festivities.

Even vendors on the outskirts had stuff to sell.

Still looking west on Pike, you can see Dale's RV.

Looking west on Pike at Walnut.

Mural on Walnut St. (Just noticed its now listed on google maps)

Ale-8-One was there.

Bank at Walnut and Pike

Looking north on Walnut from Pike

Roh's Opera House (Q & A was held here) I've heard Kirkman donated some money to help renovate it.

People lined up to see Tony Moore (I never got in because the line was too long) Near the opera house on Pike street.

Harrison Co Courthouse

Looking west on Pike at Main st. (comics were being handed out at the bank building on the left)

Looking east on Pike at all the vendors (same view as the variant cover)

Buses that were transporting people in and out of the town by one of the road blocks. End of Main by Bridge street.

Courthouse again

Terminus at the Masonic Lodge across from the court house on Main st

I was looking forward to the silent auction..... yea....

More items at the silent auction

Random car in the road

Window display at the "museum" on Walnut.

House that was set up to take selfies at and was also being advertised for sale at the same time.

Looking back towards Pike from Walnut

So here is Kirkman's line. If you want to look on google maps start across the street from Living Hope Assembly of God on Walnut.

The line went behind 2 building and came back around to the road.

It then continued on down Walnut towards Pleasant.

Looking west on Pleasant the line continued on past what I could see.

Display near Kirkman's line

Whalen & Co on Walnut St.

Cars set up at Walnut & Pike

Some thing going on down by Poplar and Pike

Better view of Tony Moore's booth/building

This photo was taken at 5:38 (the event ended at 6) and Tony still a huge line going.

Final photo, looking west on Pike street at the end of the day.

the Cynthiana book i received was in perfect shape- the people handing them out must have been extra gentle in the humidity- its funny to see all the books selling on ebay have the street as the background- it was probably an interesting sight to see- 100s of simultaneous outdoor ebay listings!

the comic looks awesome! i dont think they are going to be too hard to acquire in the long run-

Everyone Ive talked to that went had a blast! Good job everyone that worked hard in that heat! Kentucky weather is always a treat~! (that rhymed!)

Went to Tates comics and they had a full stack about 20. I think it was limit 1 per customer. I'm gonna pick up the set. They'll be plenty of these to go around. That cash cow still has a lot of milk still left in it.

That new cynthiana cover is pretty cool. Looks like moore drew it?

Mr. Moore to you mister.

Agreed

Was looking through some long boxes at my LCS this evening and came across a bunch of back issues. High 20s up to around the 70s with skipping some in between. Most were marked around $20 with a few around $30 and I saw 33, first print I'm pretty sure, for $60 in there, too.

Didn't really see anything I would consider a 9.8, newb at grading, with most issues having around 5 or so spine ticks that didn't break color. Been thinking about heading back down there on Friday and going through all of them and seeing if I could work out something with them for them all. It seems like there was around 20 issues or so. Also found another stash that had issues around 105 up to current.

TTT

New issue drops tomorrow!

I read the spoilers on another site and

Might be best to put Candletric on ignore until the issue is read...

Holy #(*^&^%$## !

If what I was told is true - Don't miss it!

Great issue! Jesus the acrobat!
