Got both of these in the mail today:

That's cool, he kind of changes up the drawing from issue to issue.

It's really criminal Peter isn't doing more TMNT art. I don't know much of anyone that's not a fan of that.

soccerstud652 · 04-19-2008, 01:02 PM

Can anyone scan or type the intro Peter gives? Wowio doesn't include it...and I left my book at home and won't be able to read it for a while.

Also, Andrew, did you get a signed copy?

And Roseangelo, how is the gallery coming?

*Roseangelo* · 04-19-2008, 01:07 PM

Gallery - We're up to 6 of 225.

Hopefully when I check the mail in a bit I'll find mine there.

soccerstud652 · 04-19-2008, 01:16 PM

Nice slideshow. I'd like to see what number the full Leo body artwork is. The time and date are 4/11/08 at 8:44am.

Can anyone help me out with Peter's intro for #29 (scan/pic or type)?

How does mirage ship these books? I've been lucky and my local comic shop has always carried Tales and vol. 4 so i've never had to actually order from mirage before. I'm worried because i live in an apartment and i'm afraid the mailman will bend my comic so it will fit in my postbox. yikes! I ordered mine last sunday...hope i get a sketch!

I paid early last Sunday, no comic yet, though a Paypal tracking information thing popped up in Paypal just today. The comic left Springfield, MA yesterday, looks like.

It is a thick envelope, but it would be nice if they had given it some padding, or at least put it inside a polybag, they just drop it in there. My mailman crammed mine into my mailbox, but it just barely fit (at an angle) so he didn't do any serious damage. Although the issue looks decent, I think it would be lucky to grade a true NM. I'll be curious to see if any of these get CGC graded and score above a 9.4

Just got back from the Con today, and sitting on my frontstep was a signed copy! I was actually kinda kicking myself, as had I known he was going to be selling the books (and signing and sketching them) I would have just bought it there rather than risk not getting a signed one (and save the $2 shipping). But in the end it turned out perfect...

Which sketch did you receive?

Was Mr. Laird doing full head sketches at NYCC for those who bought the comic there?

Mines looks like Buslady's above...it was signed on 4/11/08 at 1:08 PM...

And yep, he was doing the exact same sketchs at the con for free (if you wanted a a larger, painted skecth(by Lavigne) you had to pay for that separetly

*MrPliggins* · 04-20-2008, 02:11 PM

So just for collector's sake, I wonder how many of these are signed w/sketch? 400? maybe about half the print run? cool..hopefully this kind of thing continues.

soccerstud652 · 04-20-2008, 02:18 PM

The final number was 225 not including NYCC. If you ordered by Monday 4/14 at 10am you were in the first 225.

OA · 04-20-2008, 02:22 PM

Well, I'm not sure if he sold that many at the Con but I guess its possible. And like you, I relaly hope he keeps this up...

And as an aside, Pete was very cool that day I met him. Very nice and humble. And friendly. Not at all what I was expecting to be honest, but I'm very happy to see otherwise. And not just with me, but with everyone it seemd.

I mean, as much as it PAINED him (and trust me the look on his face was priceless) he actually did sign Archon's arm which I thought was very nice of him as you could definately tell that he would much rather NOT...

Go check out the pics I took of the whole process over in General section in his thread...so much fun

*Roseangelo* · 04-20-2008, 02:35 PM

Ok, here's mine:

*MrPliggins* · 04-20-2008, 02:42 PM

Cool, Rose! Looks like Leo... I'm guessing I'll receive mine tomorrow.
