I got this from them since I ordered the book. Looks like it is selling quite a few copies and it let's everyone know they will ship these the first week of May.

 

"To all those who have ordered from us in the last month:

 
We just wanted to let you know that because of the unprecedented pre-orders we are receiving for WARHAMMER: CONDEMNED BY FIRE, we have been experiencing some delays in our processing of orders and wanted to thank everyone with for their patience and understanding.
 
As you may know, WARHAMMER: CONDEMNED BY FIRE #1 A & B contains a scratch off with a chance to enter the WARHAMMER ONLINE: AGE OF RECKONING (WAR) Beta Test!
 
Recently, EA/Mythic laid out "Terms and Conditions" for the Beta Test in their latest newsletter and we were made aware that Beta Test codes were "...valid for North American beta test only."  You can find the "Terms and Conditions" reprinted here: http://www.boom-studios.com/node/1924
 
If you are an international customer and want to adjust your order, please email us back at this address with your transactions ID number, the email address you used for the transaction and your order information.

Meanwhile, we are furiously working to catch up on all other outstanding orders and fulfill them as soon as we can.
 
Again, thank you for your patience and understanding and thank you for supporting BOOM! Studios!

If your computer can run "Vanguard" now, you will not have to upgrade it for another 12 years!

Yeah, this will be their one hit wonder. As a long time buyer of their comics BOOm is never on time with sending them out, and I bet you a $1 to $100 a bunch of people did not read it was for North American and ordered the thing.

 

It's also a possibility that people hve overly purchased these comics to sell for $300 on ebay (if there are idiots buying beta codes for $300-600, there will be idiots buying the comic for that much to).

 

On another note, the chances of a person getting into beta currently was what .09%, I think I seen around here somwhere (you have a better chance of gaining powers from Kryptonite then getting in). Now it's a 1 out of 5 chance to get into beta (20% they say), say you have 100k people with the same comic book putting in the codes that's what chance or percentage then?  Again, you have a better chance of finding Jesus's bones in Anartica than getting in beta with that comic book.

I agree I have bought a few of these myself. And I am a big fan of the game and series. The beta chance is a bonus but not the only reason I bought this one. But I am sure some of these will end up on Ebay closer to the date to have them in by and people paying out the butt for a chance to get into beta.

Already in beta obviously as my sig states but I bought two of these anyway just because my father and I both just really enjoy the whole Warhammer world. We seem to collect a lot of rare Warhammer books, pieces, CE, tabletop parts, board games, and things like that, so this is no different.

Wow lucky I been signed up for beta since they announced it lol. I still have hope I have followed the games for years and buy most of the games based on the Warhammer universe I love 40k :). I got the books to collect more then anything I bought both sets for the 2 covers I think it is 5 issues? But a chance to try the beta and get a little glimpse and some input would really make my day. I ordered the CE so I know I am in open beta as my code is added lol. I just hope it turns out to be a great game I can enjoy for along time.

As for the comics I think they look nice. But there will be people buying multiples and just tossing them out once they put there codes in lol.

lol I was waiting at 10 am when it was announced since i have no game stores in my area I know alot of folks got wind of it early. But I was on Amazon as soon as it came up and loaded that morning lol. But still hoping for an open beta chance I do not apply to alot of beta's only ones I really have a general interest in taking my time to help make better so it would be something I would wanna spend my time doing.

...When its time for your character to take a well deserved rest...

In the end, the comic is a good thing. Basically its a 60 page advertisement for the game. If its doing well, good.
