  1. Just wait until the end of the year when the book is on every "top 10 comics of 2013" list on the internet.

     

    :sumo:

     

    Wild. I actually agree with Katchoo. Why is it so cold all of a sudden?

     

    You could just agree instead of being snarky.

     

    And we're back to :foryou::grin:

     

    Step one: Throw an insult.

    Step two: :foryou:

     

    Yes I know how it works Ryan.

    Its a death chill R.

    Comes with agreeing with the mentally dead.

    Seriously - who are these new experts?

    East Of West - wow - big call.

     

    I've been saying it since #1. Never claimed it was a big call. Never claimed to be an expert. Keep on being nice (thumbs u

     

    Of course you did.

  5. It can also put people off though so that people looking for that item go and watch the auction that's still at $0.99. If there's a book that's worth $50 and one auction is at $30 already and another is at $0.99 the chances are the $0.99 one will have just as many or more watchers. So in a way, an auction with few or no bids can have more attention because people think there is more chance of getting a bargain with it than the one with more bids.

  6. kirkman keeps all the money that is made from walking dead he owns it all

    image owns nothing

     

    They 'own' nothing, but they get a big chunk of the comic sales. Image isn't a charity.

     

    As emezy already said and which you neglected to quote, you give Image money (is it $2500?). The rest is yours depending on how many comics you sell. If you're selling 50k comics every month, $2500 is not a "big chunk".

  7. This whole " taking a break for the next arc" thing just sounds silly, I think thats what TBP is trying to say. This is a new phenomenon in the industry, and trying to explain it away as working for the next story is... well , again silly. Why? 1 issue a month comics with no " breaks" have been a mainstay in the industry for decades.I dont have to be a comic book artist or writer to know that it's not only possible, it's expected and normal.

     

    When Tony Moore couldnt keep up with the workload on walking dead, did they decide to release 10 issues a year instead? No , they got someone who could.

     

    No gripes here, EoW is sweet. We are arguing the point. Call it what it is, a break . Dont try to insult our intellect. If they are really spending all this extra time and only producing 10 books a year, something is wrong.

     

    I think one thing to consider is that writers write a ton of books these days. How many titles is Hickman writing right now?

     

    I'd also point out that I can't imagine his income is truly coming from East of West. I believe I read somewhere how much money creators get from indie titles and it isn't much. Every contract may be different, but it still isn't a lot.

     

    Back in the good ole' days writers/artists weren't stretched as thin. Minus someone like Stan Lee who was "writing" every Marvel book for a while.

     

    Well it depends how much you're selling. If you're selling under 5,000 copies you're not getting much. If you're Robert Kirkman you're rolling in it.
