Midtown Comics mentions the list price as $80.

I wasn't dealing with IDW directly at the time, and they came out in September. Not sure IDW will be able to accommodate that request given the circumstances, but will try.

Oh, okay, whew! I thought so, given the circumstances.

Worst case scenario, I do own one of the Eric Powell variants... Would you like me to send you another scan like I did for the Rodan cover, if I am able to?

So about 100 covers, not one the same, sold throughout the country?

Yep, Now I'm really glad I'm not trying to collect every IDW variant cover.

Holy... That is amazing... I'm speechless. :shock:

This is why I've been pestering my mom to take me to the comic store. I NEED LEGENDS

Well, damn, Heisei Mechagodzilla looks fan-friggin-tastic. EJ really excels at the robotic form, and Priscilla gives his work awesome textures and depth.

I can't for the the life of me guess what the story is gonna be and how it spotlights Hedorah but that's part of the fun.

I counted ~120 in the photo Matt Frank took on his DA page.

I will get one... I will....

Looks like Godzilla Kingdom of Monsters has shed a little over a thousand viewers since November. Happy to see the two Godzilla titles doing comparatively to each other, although in this case would have loved for Legends #3 to have gotten more sales as it still remains my personal favorite comic from them so far. Actually, I think its the lowest selling Godzilla comic so far from them. :cry:

That Art Adams cover is very awesome and looks like a nice adaptation of the Godzilla from GMK.... which actually thinking about it, would make a great story for a mini-series (a lethal Godzilla that kills the military and monsters in his way).

Indifferent to the Kingdom of Monsters universe being used, but none of the monsters were dead so still plenty of stuff to work with. Curious how they will start it all out, since Godzilla ended the series passed out, along with Rodan and Battra.

Eventually the first 12 issues will have little to no bearing on the new ongoing if it's done right. Cherry picking only the best bits of which there wasn't much.
Changing origins etc.

Just do SpaceGodzilla and Hedorah right and I'll be happy. I'm excited for this, but at the same time, very wary they might try to do too much clean-up.

Click on the link I posted a few posts back for the news and amazing pic that some think might also link up with the 5 Legends covers.

But Art Adams is only doing the cover, I don't think he's doing the book.

But be it Adams, Frank, EJ or Zornow, I'm glad chances are we will get a great artist for the soft reboot.

A good artist? Maybe a decent one. The artist doing this soft reboot is Simom Gane, you know, the artist who did the artwork for Godzilla Legends #2. The one doing the color, once more, is Ronda Pattison.
