An exclusive hardcover?!:o Im gonna cut somebody.

Isnt it going to be hardcover already? Whats exclusive about it

Aw man..

DAMN! >_<

I assume it will be a different cover image.

Variant Hardcover's now...lol.

ugh. I guess I have plans this weekend. :tgrumble:

Here we go. The con variant is a sketch cover variant of the standard cover. Edition Size is 250 copies. To those that asked, I wasn't able to get extra copies. The price point was $50 and I didn't have enough to front for more than my books. Sorry:

They also had advance copies of the standard edition. I picked up a copy, but Kevin stole it from me to doodle in, so I will show it to you guys as soon as he gives it back to me.

Grats Archon! Im liking that cover a lot. Hopefully the regular will look just as good.

ETA - I just realized Kevin drew foot in the blades reflection A freaking mazing sketch man!

Thanks! Yeah, I saw him do a similar sketch at a different signing, and I was jealous, so I asked for that :-)

Damn, that is sexy. I wish I could score one. Archon, how does the regular compare to the Exclusive? Is it exactly the same except the cover? Also, how did the colors look on the regular hardcover? Some people were complaining they look a little ''flat''.

that looks really awesome!

Yes, the books are identical aside from the covers. And the color cover looks pretty identical to the image of it that has been floating around. I should get it back tomorrow, so I'll show it to you guys then.

Ah, sounds good man. Can't wait to see pics!:tcool:

Well the cycle is completed cuz you got your sketch and now im jealous.:P

Nothing against those who picked up the standard edition at the con but dammit where is mine, I've only pre-ordered it MONTHS ago! It is obviously printed so why can't they ship it out now.

-ms

Same here. I preordered through Amazon though so Im not really expecting it before Dec. If it comes earlier then Ill be pleasantly surprised.

Its Amazons packing that Im scared of. Ive sent back more TPBs and hardcovers due to shipping damage then Ive kept.:x

It comes out the 16th of November.

I was fortunate enough to have a friend of mine grab two of these for me, not sure what I am going to do with the extra one yet.

I do, I'll send payment shortly.:D
