Sheltered alone makes that sale worthwhile. Enjoy!

Oh yeah, I've been waiting for a Sheltered sale! Perfect timing.

What's the word on Casey's Sex? I sprung for the first 8 issues in this sale constituting the first trade, and conceivably, the first arc. I don't hear or read much about it and it very infrequently comes up in various recommendation threads. Its sales have also gone consistently down (current issue #16 is at approximately 7,100; series debuted in the low to mid 20k range).

Who's reading it? Who likes it? Who dropped it, when and why?

I hope to have the first arc read before the sale ends to help me decide whether or not to buy the second arc (also available on sale), but am curious as to your opinions.

AWWW COOOL.... they thought Death vigil was a hit XD well that put a smile on my face XD

[Anduinel]

Sheltered alone makes that sale worthwhile. Enjoy!

Could you give me Sheltered's good points? I see quite a few people enthusiastic about it and at a buck a pop, I feel like I should give it a try, but the solit blurbs highlight a lot of the "kids killing kids!" aspect, and that's a turn-off for me.

I quite enjoyed Sex (giggle...), but just kinda fell behind. Its a bit decompressed but i imagine itll read better in chunks.
Arts really good at any rate.
I picked up a few more issues in the sale so im planning on getting caught up.

All bought a few issues of Velvet, The Fuse and Satallite Sam. Plus The Fade Out #1.

Sure. Things I like about Sheltered:

- Consistent art
- Strong dialogue
- Great villain
- Strong female leads
- Realistic violence when necessary

However, do understand that there is graphic violence of children/teens killing other children/teens. However, I don't feel that is really the main focus of the story or plot. It is a very character-driven book, which I love.

Got #1 issues of Nailbiters, Trees, The Fuse, Southern B, and Sheltered.


From best to worst
1. Sheltered: Very good: Interesting concept. - I didn't think it was great by any means but it was really solid #1 issue. Got the other 9 issues on sale.
2. Nailbiter: Really good. Very interesting story, the only reason this is not #1 is because I didn't really connect with anyone or care about any of the characters. I did get the rest of the sale issues, so hopefully they grow on me.
3. Southern B: Good. Being from rural Alabama myself, I find the characters to be a little more annoying than most probably do. Extremely stereotypically of the deep south. The waitress and the drunk at the cafe were pretty spot on however, but the idea of a coach and his former players running a town is just silly. This is nothing like real rural Alabama. But other than that the story was pretty solid. I did grab the other two issues on sale and looking forward to seeing where this is going.
4. The Fuse: Pretty Good. Pretty basic who done it plot, with a twist of it being on a space ship (city). I actually did like it but not enough to get the rest of the sale issues. Just not orginal enough for me.
5. Trees: Complete mess. Interesting concept and actually read it first because I thought it would be right up my alley, but it was a jumbled mess from start to finish.

These are good choices. I will say that Sheltered, Nailbiter and Southern B gets amazingly good after the first issue. For me Sheltered 1 was the worst issue in the series, gets so good.

Thanks for taking the time. I think I'll give this one a pass for the gore factor, though; I've already got a couple of horror books on the pull, and my appetite for that sort of thing pretty limited.

Definitely! I'm glad I could help you make a decision. That's what's great about Image; there are a lot of great choices to satisfy all of us.

[Mahes]

Saw the sale and am intrigued by Low and Cowl? What's the word on those?

[Weekend Warrior]

Great sale. Went on a splurge:
The Fade Out #1
Supreme: Blue Rose #1
Velvet #1-5
Starlight #1-5
Southern Bastards #2-3
Trees #1 - 3
Low #1
Dark Engine #1
Sheltered #2-10

So far only read Dark Engine and Supreme: Blue Rose which both left me slightly befuddled.

And then I saw the Walking Dead sale...
