I've got mine on order, and in theory it comes out this month (I think), but how big were the orders? That's something to keep in mind vis-a-vis a "stopgap" -- there is "A" version out there for people to order if they want the story. <br /><br />Are the first kickstarter Archive sets in the mail yet? I know you tested the mailers but I'm not sure if everything's gone out yet. I'm hoping that I get mine soon, and so long as the set looks pretty good, I'm in for the next one too. (And I've got an idea about the kickstarters if the number of people does nosedive...)<br /><br />I'd be one to second David Birdsong on not only wanting the Swords intros reprinted in the Ultra-Super-Mega-Legacy edition, but some sort of new intros/annotations. Because I think that Dave just doesn't have enough to do already ;)Travis Pelkienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-83184077201027626072014-08-12T15:48:34.551-05:002014-08-12T15:48:34.551-05:00Damian,

Just last week, 5 of the 60 or so pages I completed on HS were sourced from original art owned by fans who submitted scans. I'm doing my best to balance speed with not getting ahead of the funding. The whole book could probably be completed in just a few weeks, if I was working 40 hour weeks, but it wouldn't make sense unless the money's there for both the work and the printing.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />SeanSean M Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-46854473468676033232014-08-12T14:58:49.968-05:002014-08-12T14:58:49.968-05:00I don't think there is necessarily overlap bet...I don't think there is necessarily overlap between "admiring Dave Sim" and "signing the petition". (And it's still funny that Dave thinks he's refuted feminism.) It's perfectly possible to admire someone's accomplishments while disagreeing with someone's viewpoints.<br /><br />As for a time-frame for <i>High Society</i>: my understanding is that this is the best-selling volume, so keeping it in print is one of the best ways to ensure that Dave has a steady income-stream to allow him to concentrate on new projects rather than fund-raising efforts. That seems to argue for a "sooner rather than later" release date. Is there a "<i>High Society</i> Art Dragnet"?<br /><br /> -- Damian T.

Yeah, that's even more to squeeze into a limited time frame, but if the 17th printing of CEREBUS is to be the Ultimate Legacy Edition then go ultimate I say.

It's not getting a new Diamond code? I can just tell my retailer to order the old star-code one but the new one will come in? How will retailers know this is a brand new edition, and the product of so much remastering consideration??<br /><br />I'm sure this has already been answered but...<br /><br />DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
