2000AD Sells Out…!

[Jim_Campbell]

I know some of you crusty old farts eschew social media and thus may not be following 2000AD on Facebook or Twitter, so you might miss this little snippet:

Incredible news - next week's 'jumping on' issue of 2000 AD has just SOLD OUT a week early! There's a reprint on its way but this is the 1st time this has EVER happened! Grab a copy when you can, Earthlets!

That's pretty amazing, IMO, and has cheered me up no end. First boarder to come up with a negative spin on this story wins a free punch in the throat. Bonus kick in the balls if you manage a dig at MOLCH-R.

Cheers

Yeah, I just read that news and it warmed the hearts of my cockles.  I wonder what the numbers involved are?  Regardless, what a great result!

[Montynero]

Great news!

(And don't worry, you can still buy it in the shops. It simply means every copy printed has been bought by the various distributors, to put on sale)

Huzzah

That's grand news - extra oil all round!

I just heard that some lanky thief stole thirty grand from a terminally ill pensioner and spent it all on buying multiple copies of a childrens comic.

Bloody 2000AD, forcing me to buy a second printing as well, to keep the collection up. That's three I have to buy that week then! No, that's seriously scrotnig news, and wigs off to all concerned. That's what happens when you put Slaine on the cover!

Wow that's just great news, great news.

Shame the negative spin prize has gone I hang around enough comic based internet sites that this would have been second nature to me. A few examples would have been.

1) Oh great so I've been buying this for years and now Me Me I Me might not get a copy of the first print, how is that fair on me me I me

2) Hold on I subscribe I hope to God me me I me gets both copies

3) What have they under-printed for don't they trust their own hype but we we us we are meant to BASTARDS

4) Oh they will have just done a short print run so they can sell out and get the publicity from that

5) Oh great so we have a launch Prog that newbies won't be able to get hold of, well done Tharg

This is good news, and well deserved.  Keep it up Thargy baby.

This is indeed, great news!

Confirmation of a sequel.

Confirmation of a sequel.

Prog 1875?

I'm not a racist, but I would expect someone like Molcher to be proud of the fact that they were too cheap - or maybe too thick - to print enough copies to meet their subscription quotas.  I wouldn't be surprised if they'd done it deliberately just to be able to say the issues was in demand or something, only that would take intelligence.  I blame Obamacare.

[TordelBack]

Wake up, shquaxxeeple! This is all just a smokescreen to distract us from the fact 'they' are adding 11 new floors to King's Reach Tower, presumably to warehouse all the unsold copies of Prog 1874. 



How can they possibly do that, if it's a decommissioned Command Module?  Have they no grasp of the requirements of interstellar engineering?  Why won't they release Tharg Zragian the Mighty's birth certificate, huh? I bet he's not even really Betelgeusian.

Also: surely the Dan Dare people own the rights to the current London skyline?
