I think women can and will get into this book. It's clear that this is going to have a strong love story component to it. And xio kicks . Xio vs elana? Come on. I'd put money on xio ending the stalk even. (The last 3 sentences may have been completely over the line and meant to ruffle saga lover's feathers. Love me some saga).

They look pretty awesome. The covers are great and the cover stock is really solid.

I don't know that there'll be a lot of money in the 2nd or 3rd prints. They may even be money losers. My guess is that registry set builders are doing it for fun :-)

+1

I think that the next issue will be slow. It seems like Nick and Jonathan built up to that epic battle. I imagine that the next issue will explore how death and Xio met (pure speculation. I have no basis for this other than what I think makes sense plotwise). That being said, I'm interested in learning more about this crazy world that the guys have built. Just awesome stuff!

- Ryan I may download this on my iPad. I can't wait to read it. I downloaded :-)

Well, #4 delivered. Epic.

Wow, Jonathan was signing, huh? I suck

I got Nick and Jonathan to pimp my book, y'all. Honestly, thanks to Nick and Jonathan for taking their time with this book. It looks sick!

Bring on the personal attacks. I am "entitled" to my opinion, just like you. I was stating that hiccups in production create hiccups in the following. Yes, hiccups happen in the real world and I roll with it, but this is a comic forum where fans are demanding. Every aspect of pop culture has demanding fans, we are no different. I think that a reasonable analogy would be watching TV. If a show that you are watching is not consistently on the air, you are likely to forget about it and not watch. Although a pull list (or a DVR, for that matter) helps one simply keep reading no matter the release frequency, not everyone has a pull list (or DVR) and it's easy to forget or lose interest in a title when other titles come out more regularly and provide a more consistent form of entertainment. Also, I don't think that it screams entitlement for someone to say "this book isn't released as frequently as I'd like. I think I'll read something else." It's their money, it's their choice. Also, "hiccups" do happen in the real world and often times result in people losing time, money, jobs, etc. The comic book industry is no different (i.e. I don't think that comic fans are a ton different than the consumers of most goods). Most people who pay for something have some expectation of what they're going to get. If expectations are not met, they move on. I love Bedlam. It's a great book. A pull list is sufficient to keep me up to date. However, some customers react differently to delays and it's well within their right to do so.

Yeah, Hickman was probably just messing with Felix. It's not like he'd actually know.

This This happen to be a Heroescon sub? This was. It seems like a lot of modern fast tracks from the show are starting to go out.

I don't know that I'm getting better or worse service than anyone. I just send my stuff in. This thread exists because people generally haven't been happy with turn around times. I don't think I'm celebrating the fact that my fast tracks are on time. I'm simply reporting some progress so that other boardies can help set expectations. That being said, I am happy that CGC is catching up. I'll be a lot happier when/if subs are back on schedule.

Some recent turn around time improvement. All modern fast track: Invoice 1: Invoice date: 5/23/2013 Ship date: 6/13/2013 Invoice 2: Invoice date: 6/4/2013 Ship date: 6/25/2013 Invoice 3: Invoice date: 6/12/2013 Ship date: 6/27/2013

+1 IMO this book is just to good to be selling for these prices. On my top five "Must Read the Day I Get It" books - +1

Paging Dr. Park....

This thread is nowhere close to being locked, as is evidenced by the fact that we haven't seen Park post here at all.

Adonis, we didn't really talk. If I recall, you were on your way out, we said hi, and we said that we'd get a beer and talk about it later. I am happy to hear that you acknowledge that you made a mistake and, as far as I'm concerned, that's enough for me. I'd still be happy to talk, if it's even necessary, and would certainly be happy to buy you a beer. That being said, these are the CGC message boards. I've said a few things that people like to bring up again and again (such as Felix and I's bet about the Saga Ghost Variant cover that I will almost certainly lose if the cover comes to market). In this particular case, you said something a while back that doesn't work out so well for you currently and people are reminding you of it. That' how the boards work, in my experience.

I think that my 9.8 had a few ink smudges on the back and it wasn't a problem. It may not hurt to post the book in the please grade me section and see what the boards think.

Well timed character request

Sorry you don't like it. I'm not sure comparing it to MP is fair at this point. I think that the books are different beasts. I like MP better because it's funnier. EoW is still a lot of fun. I can see there being lots of people who really like one, but dislike the other. They tone in each book is so different.

Another great issue. Interestingly, I was talking to Felix about what would happen with the alien who survived the SIil genocide on Sunday. I guess Jonathan and Nick decided to get started on an answer...

Image doesn't set the print run. They advise, but BKV and Fiona ultimately make the call, based on preorders, about the print run.

Talked with Jonathan today. Evidently, the print run for the RRP is 300.

Interesting data: IGN rating on each issue of East of West: Issue 1: 8 Issue 2: 9 Issue 3: 7.8 Honestly, I had Issue 1 rated a bit lower, but the other ratings are about spot on for me.
