HarveySwick Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 anyone seen a 9.4 before? What would do you think one would go for? I've watched this video like 30 times and I still can't stop laughing... The part where the book is thrown casually onto the ground... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meta4 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I think in this case, the hype doesnt have to neccecarily come from tv shows/movie deals. I think that one of the things that we all love about saga, is its a comic book made specifically for fans of comic books. (The references to D. Oswald heighst's work influencing alana profoundly, the inside "writers" jokes, the epic space opera on nearly the same scope as star wars.) This is a comic for comic fans. And I think that sales have reflected that. With no tv show, movie, or cartoon to hype the book, and In todays market, 70,000 issues sold is nothing to scoff at. Some of us "obsessives" are buying them for collcection and investment, but alot of people are reading these, and connecting with them. Walking dead issues were still relatively cheap before AMC announced the tv show, and now kirkmans licensing the series to everything from cars to clothes, to action figures. So naturally there would be a collector market for individual issues. But saga built this hype on its own. And it really built after the first few issues were released and people saw what we were working with here. Does anybody else remember a series that was fetching these kind of prices for a slabbed 9.8 first issue only 12 months after it came out? I personally dont. And coupled with the amazing story and acessable art, I think saga is in for the long haul. Whether it gets syndicatedto tv or made into a movie. And on that note, Y the last man was recently optioned for a movie, with vaughan basically playing no part in that. Once Y blows up in the theaters (lets face it, no matter who makes it, its a much more original premise than the that hollywood recycles into movies) brian vaughan's going to wonder if he could do e same thing himself, with a story he owns the entire rights to. So far, the only work he outright owns, is saga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mg1902 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Any other Saga #1 hoarders/collectors out there come across copies that don't have the binary tear? I thought this was a production problem across the whole run (even on my CGC 9.8), but I picked up three first prints today that don't have it at all.

ItsJustRyan Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 My #1 9.8 has it and I think most all the 2nd-5th prints that I have also have it (I just have one of each). Saga I'm glad with all the BS and spec talk that goes on that we still have this title and it has stayed consistently awesome (and on time). I read #13 when it came out and didn't have much to say other than it was too short, leaving me waiting for more next month. I read Manhattan Projects #13 too and it has also stayed awesome in my book (and Rachel Rising, and Think Tank, and EoW, and TWD, and Clone).

miso Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I'm not dead, I've cut way back on my comic reading though. Had to make sacrifices somewhere, because I have other interests. But of the two series I'm going to grab monthly from now on, Saga is one. I'm hoping some items come in by end of month so I can take a picture to show off.

I thought this was a production problem across the whole run (even on my CGC 9.8), but I picked up three first prints today that don't have it at all. I've seen either 0 or 1 copy without a binary tear. I can't remember for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
