Well.. bye..
Well, he didn't exactly 'jump ship' though, did he? Just sort of stands on the far side of the deck and complains about it.....
Last I checked, we were free to go in threads and point things out and discuss. Sorry if someone doesn't agree with you and your way of thinking. Why don't we all drink the Kool Aid and say the same thing? It makes for an interesting discussion.
All I'm saying, I wouldn't be surprised if the TV show didn't get picked up and the book drops out. It isn't like the book is selling well and the erratic schedule hurts. Those are my points. No one has countered them and instead you guys just dismiss me. Tell me why I'm wrong, although I'm guessing you can't.
Counter point to "It isn't like the book is selling well":
I would say the book is selling well with respect to it being from a relatively non-player in the comic publishing business, 215 Ink. I whizzed through the Comichron numbers throughout the past year/year and 1/2 and the only title from 215 ink listed has been Enormous. My guess would be 215 Ink is ecstatic and considers this a huge success (Enormous is all over their Facebook page...).
Side Note: I think it's great strategy for Tim to chime in with the speculator's on the boards. Speculators probably assisted getting issue number 4 and beyond numbers up, through purchases and word of mouth to shop owners. I don't think Tim or 215 Ink cared how numbers started creeping up as long as the product could show some sustainability.
Look at issue #7; Tim stated this will hit 10K. Good God, speculators or not, this is MASSIVE for a small time book such as Enormous. Let's say issue #8 drops 50%; that will still give them #1 issue type numbers. I think most titles would love to have that data associated with their product. Is it Image/DC/Marvel numbers? Absolutely not...do we think 215 Ink expected those type of numbers? Absolutely not.
Counter point to "If show doesn't get picked up I wouldn't be surprised if it drops out":
As for the media front, last I checked 162 titles are on the "optioned list" for media. I don't think a statement such as "if they don't get picked up the book will drop out" is relevant; do you believe that statement to be true for the other ongoing titles on that list? Of course, most don't have the erratic schedule issues of Enormous, so who knows.
Facts show that even with that erratic schedule, issue #7 will have 10K. Wonder what would happen if they actually came out on time. I agree media news helped it attain that 10k; I doubt 215ink or Tim cares. My guess (and 100% speculation) is as long as Enormous is 215ink's top dog, it's not going anywhere.
Done with the counter points...on to some other notes you've made...I hope they get more character build up as well in the next arc; I want to care more for the characters, not just awe over the art. If they can get me caring about Ellen similar to what I feel about the Star Wars characters (my current fav), then sky's the limit.
Cheers!!!
