  1. So should start some kinda chain, see if we can help each other out to get all the variants?
  2. I coulda swore he said 16, but I could be wrong
  3. MCR disbanded in 2013... Not a huge fan, but I do love their concept album, The Black Parade. I liked that one and the Helena ? albumn. They are entertaining and the guitar solos sound a lot like Brian May from Queen. That one is Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.. That album is actually pretty good. I would say better than the Black Parade
  4. Based on what Dragotta told me at NYCC, we're gonna see a few more variants for this issue.
  5. I really can't wait for this series to kick back up. A lot has happened in the last arc, so I'm really looking forward to seeing where the world is a few months later.. And speaking of the World, that is also something I'm looking forward to. When I met Dragotta at NYCC, he said he was writing/wrote a story for it.
  6. November 19th http://www.previewsworld.com/Home/1/1/71/917?stockItemID=AUG140558
  7. No new prints I checked for you when I got there . I figured there weren't, and that if there were I would have heard from you, but I figured I'd ask anyway. Thanks dude!
  8. Does anyone know if Dragotta had any new prints for NYCC?
  9. Q1: Yes, exactly that.. Texas Rangers Q2: The other one was to frame the PRA as instigators against the Union, even more so than they already were. Q3: Yes, he was Chevyo, he introduces himself earlier in volume 1, but briefly. I believe the original Native American was Red Cloud, from the flashbacks in the very beginning of the first volume.
  10. I remember Hickman sayings something along the lines of taking 2014 off for cons, so probably not
  11. Keep TWD away from my East of West! But really tho.. Keep that mess away.
  12. So far, we have Death, Ranger, and Crow.. I wouldn't mind seeing Wolf on there first, and then Babylon after him.
  13. Actually, I think almost all of the covers have changed. That looks like a panel from the first issue. If the first three volumes are any indication, the cover to that will probably be a head shot of a main character.
  14. Well, Nexus didn't stop by to post them, so I'm going to! Some pretty incredible EoW commissions were tweeted/posted recently!
  15. You can trust it.. It will never lie to you
  16. If taking a 3 month break means no delays during the arcs, I'm perfectly fine with it
  17. That's probably the case for Velvet with a lot of people, but it's definitely one I look forward to every issue
  18. I can certainly see The Fade Out moving up for me. I don't want to pre-maturely put it in my top 5 since it's only 1 issue in, but historically, I have loved everything Brubaker has written. Zero definitely is in my top 5, as well.
  19. Right now, I'd put it in my Top 3, behind East of West and Saga.
  20. I really enjoyed this new issue. I feel like this book should be talked about a little more than it is.
  21. Hickman has a thing for lying on solicitations.. Not sure why.. I guess he likes to keep people on their toes.. It probably has to do with this. I agree that the covers aren't the most grabbing ones out there, and that obviously the interiors are much better. That said, 15 issues in, it would drive me insane if they changed the format now.
  22. In a perfect world HBO would do a page by page adaptation but I am guessing that this is not economically feasible (full disclosure: I have never been a TV executive so I really have nothing with which to base this on...but I did just drink a V-8). Other than Silence of the Lambs and LOTR I can think of no movies/tv shows that have lived up to the source material yet I have enjoyed many adaptations. So u should lower your expectations or get used to disappointment (incidentally this is how I have stayed married for 18 years). Oh, believe me, I don't expect much.. Like I said, I do enjoy the show for what it is. But when a character is still alive for a season and a half longer than he should be, or characters are completely left out, or clumsily combined into other characters, it disappoints me. Of course, they can't let the cast get too big, and I totally understand why they can't, and shouldn't. I love the show, because it makes it easier to talk to my friends about something that I do really love, and it is definitely entertaining. It's just leaving out so many things that I really wanted to see, and I would hate to see something similar happen to East of West because budgetary restraints.
  23. See, I feel the same way.. The problem is that the words you used was "fairly decent," and while I love the books and the show, "fairly decent" isn't good enough for me for Game of Thrones, and it would certainly not be good enough for me with East of West. EDIT: That being said, as far as story goes, East of West is probably easier to adapt, than Game of Thrones.
  24. Here's the problem tho.. See I've read all the GoT books, and the amount of stuff they have already left out is mind blowing. Not only that, even a show like GoT has budget issues, where you can obviously tell they're saving money in the earlier episodes for awesome stuff later on. If East of West were to be adapted, I would want it done right, and it would probably need one hell of a budget for that. The best way for it to be adapted, although it's not most people's, including my own, first choice, would be an animated series.
  25. I'm not gonna lie, I laughed out loud at this part. I love the ever-expanding cast of this book, and I appreciated that they each had an issue, so that we can be familiar with them, but it certainly feels like this is what happens sometimes
