Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Letting consumers wait to make a decision is never a good business practice. Always be closing, don't tell me you will call in 6 months.

I have to agree. To sit on a license, even within its boundaries, is boggling. Why do they drag it out, are they afraid there'll be nothing to produce later on? C'mon, there'll always be an iteration to derive from.

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

I'm looking at the print (which I really like) then I'm looking at this... I just can't get over the face...what a shame.

Supergirl is a butterface from every angle. IMO, that's not the case with Zee. She looks good in the video. SS just used a still with a bad angle

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I think they'll be fine without your order. Seems like SS would rather sell 750 over 6 month period than 500 in 6 minutes.

It's a bummer indeed, this was one of my most anticipated pieces along with Starfire.
