Mike Netzer??? Holly!!! I met Michael when I was 15 and he basically took me under his wing after I showed him my portfolio.. Couldnt meet a nicer guy. Period! I guess it just goes to show you, EVERYONE has a different experience, and I can see how the pros can get a little agitated at times being that they are doing this around the clock, while we the fans just do it on occasion.

I love Barry.. Met him twice.. He inpired me to draw just cause his talent is incredible and hes a true rock star! Before meeting Barry I always thought comic book people were geeky I think that if you take him seriously he could be conceived as a snob, but what else do you expect from a Brit Im not gonna go and say who is NOTOROUSLY known for being arrogant and sometimes even disrespectful to his fans. Everyone in comicland knows who Im talking about. But its just not my style to talk smack about people. I have many favorites, but by far, the nicest guy in the biz, in my book, is this guy:

Double whammy!

I like big butts and I cannot lie

Thanks for this.. WTH, I just bought a set. Theyre really cheap so cant go wrong (thumbs u

I'll have to look for some copies this weekend. I wonder why this is heating up and not Breath of Bones. Both were optioned in the same week. Boom vs Dark Horse.. The answer is def in the print run

My paypal order from them is "pending"

Stick to #1 as the investment copy. Dont make me sabotage this thread as well

Anyone got their copies from MCS?

I googled "wolverine 1st 180 or 181 is pressing good for comics who created spiderman stan lee or jack kirby is buying action comics 1 from an old lady for 1$ moral".... Then my computer froze.... ...Then I found this place

Watching the count down It is one of the greatest 2nd printing covers ever! Born to be slabbed!!

Make it rain trick

Meanwhile.. "Over on the cgc boards"...

Bingo. Only diff is that the emphasis is on female readers as opposed to collectors.. Thats the reason why the TPB hold a #1 spot. It is an EASY book to market to everyone based on commercial value and appeal... Wanna buy your GF a cool gift? Get her a Rat Queens Tee Wanna buy your niece a cool read.. There you go.. Rat Queens TPB Once they get it.. Theyre hooked.. Cant do that with any other book that I know of today. I already said it before.. This doesnt even needs a TV show, its just INEVITABLE.. It only needs a female celebrity tweet (selena gomez, Miley, Rihanna..).. A talk show recomendation (The View, Ellen Show, etc..) and BOOM This one screams cross over all around it. 20,000 print run of #1 is NOTHING if this gets to TMNT levels, which in my belief, it would. I am pretty sure Rihanna and Selena Gomez don't read comics. I have followed them on twitter And on Instagram and they have never posted a single tweet about a comic book I don't see the tmnt comparison at all Celebs are marketing vehicles.. They do whatever management tells them to do and agencies pays them for it.. U dont see them talk about comics because there isnt a single comic out there that can appeal to them.. Thats the premise of my all argument with RQ.. RQ is the only book out there that can cross over to pop culture..

Seriously how many copies you got I haven't read it yet but may have to. Mind you I do have a few #1's but those aren't for reading A-lot! I still buy them when I see them in LCS for 5-6.00.. Needless to say that doesnt happen often

Good question... How did WD get to AMC? What's a bigger obstacle do you think? I live in L.A., maybe I should go to a taping and try and slip her a trade I'd do it for sure.. Just dont give her the Staples variant by accident

TMNT popularity level It's a good book, but...calm down. Between you me and the wall// If you didnt know nothing about TMNT WD or RQ and you read all three And you were a chick Id bet balls to the wall youd subscribe to RQ before anything Sure, but we're not talking about just 'chicks.' TMNT has had a good 30 year run of mass multimedia marketing with two movies, a cartoon show that everyone my age watched for years, multiple toy lines, multiple comic runs and a first issue with a print run 80% lower than Rat Queens. I agree that the book has serious cosplay/fantasy nerd appeal and a TV deal, but to hit TMNT level, you need to really dominate that 8-12 year old demographic. An R-rated female-centric Dungeons and Dragons homage just can't tap into that market. FYI, I read somewhere online that TMNT has generated over $6 BILLION in revenue over that period. Not sure how accurate that is, but I don't doubt it. All in due time my friend.. Of course it wont make 6 bill right of the gate.. But it will gain popularity just as TMNT did when it got to mainstream levels.. Same pace, if not faster, just because of saleability factors. My guess is that you didnt read the book.. Its not about how good a read it is, I love alot of books that unfortunately I dont see making it anywhere based just on great writing/art, and its unfortunate. RQ is a cross over book. Girls of all age love it, all race (big BIG marketing factor with this), and guys like it. When my friend told me about this book first I said, yeah yeah, Ill get to it.. I thought it was a D&D type book and said, yeah, the title is cool ,but I aint reading no sword and sorcery (no offense S&S fans).. I just read a few pages and I was shocked at how out of its element this book was. Cool chicks.. Check Violence.. Check Tongue in cheek.. check Dirty and witty.. Check Its all there I swear to god I aint got a dog in this fight... Just a true believer

A level celebs charge anything from 8-12k for a tweet. The name of the game in PR is, just as it is with us guys speculating on books, to speculate on a B/C level celeb who's "trending" and has a big pull who would do it for a fraction of that price. So.. A good PR agent will pay the same amount to 20-30 celebs who will tweet about a product.. Then the A listers will notice and tweet about it, cause its "cool".. Then Ellen will hear about it...

Thats exactly what I meant.. it will get to TMNT popularity level, but since the print run is not so limited it will be a 100+ book by season 1.. This book doesnt need "a lot of luck" as you say.. It already has a solid track of saleability with cosplay fans at cons and a best selling TPB. Now all it needs is to break out of the comic world, and for that, it doesnt need any luck. Just smart and good PR... And publicists LOOOOOVE a product like Rat Queens to work with. Just wait

Before you posted this, did you take some ecstasy and start listening to some zesty, zesty Trance? I love my fans they follow me everywhere "zesty trance" reminds me of the 90's I agree with the potential of RQ, it's on the cusp of being white hot. By the way, is your name a play on "Law and a Order"? Awe and Lorder xifed taht rof ouy
