Yep it's pretty serious over there. Name one comic that has had a successful tv show like the WD.
Arrow

 

I forget, which week was it that Arrow had 20 million viewers? ;)

It's not at the insane levels as TWD, but it's still good to see another comic TV series having some success with mainstream viewers. :grin:

Is TWD really pulling 20 million viewers ? That's incredible.

 

Season 4 premiere was 16 million but if I understand correctly they add one weeks DVR viewing to live viewership to calculate total viewers which brought the total to 19.9 for the premiere. This was according to Entertainment Weekly

Comics general is the DMV of the CGC boards.

 

You have to go there every now and then, but you dread doing it and when you go you try to not look at anybody there.

 

More like the IRS......you report something you think is true and you hope it does not come back to bit you in the :censored: . Before you know it you got people looking back at your records(posts) trying to catch you in the wrong.

 

n00bs lol:jokealert:

 

Seriously, though, I love CG, but there are a few things you need to refrain from mentioning there. Politics, Religion and Walking Dead.

lol ......... yeah not a good place for WD,newbies or noobs.

Oh and you forgot about never question someone with over 10,000 post that has a pack of friends... doh! Learning, I hope.

But really I do love the Dead and I'm cool with that.

This is a real conversation from CG. I cannot believe this is legit.

 

You know that some of these "specs" are actually fans, right?

 

Sorry, but I find it very hard to believe that buyers of CGC 9.8 and 9.9 copies, at current prices, are buying them as "pure fans".

Where are these speculators you speak of that buy at the downward turn of a successful book, who then expect it to double, triple, etc?

 

Is he a bot account? Can't be real. I'm just going to pretend you are an artificial poster because that makes me feel much better.

The WD thread in CG is something else.

 

I found it particularly funny when joe_collector turned on rfoiii, but I think they were both on the same "side" of the arguement!

 

lol

 

Additionally, you cannot discuss the importance of one without the other, they are intrinsically linked. Arguing otherwise is ridiculous, tenement to denying the existence of algebra or chemistry.

 

Wow, it looks like Zombie Einstein's crawled out of his crypt and joined the discussion. lol

 

Next up, we won't be able to discuss valuation without eBay, right?

 

Like I said, the print run of a comic book, taken as a single factor, means absolutely nothing to a comic's market value. Absolutely nothing, and that is a verified fact.

 

Only when linked with a myriad of other factors does it even start to have an effect, and in the statement I was quoting, the OP was all over the "low print runs" like by itself, it was the be-all, end-all of "high comic prices. Which it isn't.

Reading CG is like reading a PFT Commenter story, only it's legit. Can't handle it.

As I was sitting in court reading this, I jump on here to see it posted. lol

 

The Riley Cooper "lynch pin" was subtle but beautiful. Also, PLEAD GUILTY.

Nobody ever responded to the fact that I would take all the WD #1 9.8's over the mid grade Action #1.

 

JoeCollector said anybody that would do so is an insufficiently_thoughtful_person, but as a businessman, I would love to control the entire market :cloud9:

 

546 copies at say $1750 per = $955,500

 

7.5 Action #1 = $1,000,000

 

Give me the WD #1's any freaking day and let's see if any sell for less than 5k a piece :cloud9:
