We should have posted a reminder in here about the new Groo..... Oops. There are only 4 New Groos released so far off Groo friends n foes. There is a seperate new groo split in 3 parts, presented in the "Dark Horse presents? title, u want #7,8,9. I too had to get my comic guy to hold groo for me, as he wasn't buying any copies to sit on the shelf.... And if I wait for several issues before I buy frommycomicshop.com, I run the risk of missing out on early issues selling out... On Gary's news, That archive of other Groo stuff sounds good indeed. I statues will be pricey, but they looked awesome..... I kinda doubt we will see them.....pitty. I never thought about digital sales, I wonder if many people get digital copies. I've only ever done it once and for groo (just to say I got one groo as digital)....wasted my money, I never read it.....I read the paper version... Oh poor Alex, spilling water on your groo.....need we say the obvious.... But a complete set of epic groo always pops up on ebay, ranging from 200 to 450....which for 120 comics, is ridiculous value. The online comic places have only a few mint Groos ( i was lucky to overhaul my collection and replace less than mint copies with the mint ones....sheesh they were only a buck or two, I got a bunch included in each online order I placed....now there are no more, and the prices are not great) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you live faraway from a comic shop or your comic shop is lame, you can always buy new Groo online from TFAW.com, which is Dark Horses retail store. They ship international. I know some folks wait for the trades. The Groo vs. Conan trade did not have an original wrap around cover like they usually do. However, the Friends & Foes trades will all have original art wrap around covers. ( I always buy 2 so I can see the whole piece of art.) Of course, I never wait for the trades. For me the covers and the splash pages alone are worth the price of the comics. (Plus how can I possibly wait for new Groo!!)

Will the Groo Archives also contain art/pages from Comic Con programs, Telegraph Wire, Scene Magazine etc.?
