now that's strange, I've pre-ordered it (am looking forward to seeing some of coleen's artwork after seeing it praised here) and amazon say they'll ship it in Feb
mebbie it's coming out before May, Jan ,Coleen, any ideas (that won't get either of ye in trouble obviously). I've never ordered a graphic novel(if that's the correct term, if not apologies to all concerned) online before, should be an experience.

Dunno, Phaze. I got the May date from the 'Product Details' section of the page. I'm afraid I've never put a whole lot of faith in Amazon's expected shipping dates unless it's something like Harry Potter where the whole world knows the street date.

I ordered the Midnight Nation trade from Amazon - my first comic - when it read about a week or two to ship. That date was reflected in my order. Then it slipped to 3-4 weeks, then 4-5, and finally 9-10. I was offered free shipping whenever they finally did get it; I made a 40-minute run and gave my business to a comic store instead.

Their release dates for anything not a DVD or printed book are similarly "flexible", but from what I hear and experienced they've gotten a bit better with the comics.

It's May 24.

Cheers Coleen,

Mebbie I could buy volume one, two three etc of his ASM collection while I wait.

Always check Ebay. A recent search popped up the Best of Spider-Man hardcovers volume 1, 2 & 3. The guy was selling for, like a dollar. They were used, of course, if you don't mind that sort of thing. The Best of Spider-Man HC vol. 1 is weird, though. It contains stories from another Spider-Man title -- including JMS' Amazing Spider-Man. And, it doesn't contain ALL of JMS' Amazing Spidey. It sucks because I wanted to buy these and read all the stories again without pulling the originals out of its bag 'n board. I know Marvel have the trades available, but JMS' stories deserved to be read in the oversized hardcover format.

I'm waiting for Marvel to publish all 18 issues of Supreme Power in an oversize hardcover edition. I just received the Rising Stars hardcover slipcased edition today. I bought it on Ebay for $45.49 (free s/h) -- it retails for $100! If you want to get one here's some info: Top Cow published a regular hardcover AND a limited slipcased hardcover edition. They're both oversized. If you really want one, let me know; I'll post the Ebay seller's name here, they offer free shipping/handling on orders $25 or more.

Ordering books from amazon is easy as pie. If the book can't ship when they say, they will send you an email giving you the option to extend or cancel the order. I've never had a problem with amazon. At my website www.colleendoran.com , I now have all of my books linked to amazon and my comics linked to Mile High. They both give great service. I have never had a problem with them.

I used to do my own mail order, but amazon can do it so much faster and cheaper than I can that I just shut down my operation and turned it over to amazon. They usually give fat discounts, too.

Colleen,

I've been meaning to ask--how do you get that cool little picture link like you've got on your site? I wanna copy your method!

Oh, and just to be a little on topic...I know there's no Lost Souls issue in March, do you know when the April one will be? (nothing like looking way ahead...<g>)

Thanks,
Jan

Oh, I am never exactly sure of release dates, all I know is when my publisher needs the book finished! I am working on it right now! It's a pretty one!

Between JMS' schedule and mine, it looks like we are actually doing 10 issues per annum instead of 12, but it 'aint for lack of trying. We are both busy bees. And I would hate to rush a single issue of this book out before it is ready. So, I am glad that Marvel is flexible if need be.

Oh, by the way, you get the html code for the pics when you sign up for the amazon seller's program. I think they have to approve you by taking a look at your website, reviewing your account, etc.

Looks like it from the cover. But then, I thought the dragon cover was pretty (and still do) but the dragon turned out to not be so noble after all. Guess I'll have to read the issue to find out, won't I?

Well, sheesh! You mean JMS can't get a brand new TV show up and running (in a different country) in his sleep? You've got previous long-standing committments? I'm shocked, simply shocked and dismayed... .

Ah. I guess I'll just have to keep admiring yours then. Thanks for the info, though.

I'm not sure now when BoLS #5 is coming out. I thought it was Feb. 1, but I saw somewhere (Marvel site?) that is was coming out on Feb. 22. Just wondering which was right.

I'd say we need to take the Marvel info as being correct. I looked, and that's when they're showing it. #6 is listed as coming out on April 5.
