I called the local big comics shop yesterday to see if Girl Genius collection #4 had come in, and she said no, and she didn't know when it was coming in, since everyone is buying them on-line.

I bought #1, #2 & #3 in that store.

She was trying to be helpful.

No #4 on the horizon, although it is supposed to be out.

Girl Genius rocks! I love Phil's work. I've been following it since the early 80s.

Me, too --

I even loved the two gamers he created to review products. The "real world training" for gaming was a scream.

There are graphic novel collections for Phil and Dixie too...

I have Volume 1 -- didn't find out about the others until recently.

If your taste runs to such things, there are also xxxenophiles.

Probably not. I'm a typical female in that regard -- pics don't do much for me, I like the real thing real time. Furries need not apply!

I ordered mine online and have already received it. I was advised to order it online when I asked about it at a local shop as well.

Maybe they're not selling through shops anymore?

The real bitch is that distributers hang up distribution. :(

Dragon's Lair hasn't had that issue solicited through their distributors and therefore can't get it through normal channels. It is avalable to the public on the website. :(

David's going to try and order it direct through the web site.

*sigh* I wish we could order direct from each and every press. We just coudn't afford it. :(

Well, that's a pain in the proverbial. I just assumed you would have it.

Growlf!

Just got an update.

Sixteen (16) copies of Girl Genius #4 will be at Dragon's Lair on Wednesday.

[alfreda89.livejournal.com]

Well, in that case, I'd better reserve one!

you want me to ask my local Dark Horse minion to get this?

[alfreda89.livejournal.com]

Turns out distribution is a proverbial on this one -- Drago's Lair finally got some ordered (maybe they broke a few knee-caps, called in a marker or two ... ) but they should have a bunch Weds. So I'll call and request a hold on mine!

The Foglios live in my town.
Our big Con is this weekend.
Their table sold out of the new collection by noon.

I suspect Girl Genius has reached the tipping point. Hope they're ready for it!
