Too Much Cool Stuff – Not Enough $$$ – December ‘09
by KC Carlson
We’re in the big wind-down to both of Marvel and DC’s most recent events, so there’s lots of Siege and Blackest Night stuff all over the order form. But you’re probably aware of those events, as it seems that’s all anybody wants to talk about anymore. I suppose it’s too much to ask that both of these Events might actually wrap up with a big, definitive ending (just for a change), instead of simply leading into the next Big Mega Mind-Bending Nose-Blowing (sorry, but it IS the cold and flu season!) Thing. Why are publishers and some creators afraid of the words “The End”? Can no one actually write an ending to anything anymore?
KC Column – Episode 17: The Monchhichis Affair
by KC Carlson
Welcome to my first column at the new Westfield blog. As you can see, we’re still a little busy getting everything presentable – we’re getting all the boxes unpacked and the curtains put up and trying to figure out where the sofa will go. (No… Try over by the Cosmic Treadmill! Hey! Watch out for the – KLANNNGG! – Negative Zone portal!)
At 2 a.m., all those little icons look alike!
So, apparently we were a little short on our caffeine intake when we were putting together the new listings, and a few items (such as Flash: Rebirth #4, DC’s Wednesday Comics, and Dark X-Men: Beginning #1 and a few others) got listed as “Limited Edition – Orders Not Guaranteed”.
What we meant to list them as was in fact “Limited Series”. This should be fixed shortly, and we apologize for any additional stress this may have caused! (We’re hanging our heads in shame, really.)
