N/A Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 It is much more than 5. So what is it? See one example above. That's not an Image book though. I missed that part. You got me. Of course Chew had 4 printings including 2 3rd printings so 5 overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balham's Finest Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 It is much more than 5. So what is it? See one example above. That's not an Image book though. I missed that part. You got me. Of course Chew had 4 printings including 2 3rd printings so 5 overall. Did Fatale #1 get five? Or only 4? I'm surprised that no recent WD issue has gone through multiple prints - to my non-expert eye it seems like there's a lot more interest now. It's surprising that Image has managed to gauge their print runs so well when they seem to have failed to do so on so many new reveries (Fatale, Manhattan Projects, Saga, Secret, Hell Yeah and many other recent titles have had more than one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at WD's monthly sales, they've been been on a very slight upward curve for a while now - the last couple of months have seen a larger increase, but nothing that would come anywhere near warranting a reprint. Where the sales have shot through the roof, however, are with the trade paperbacks - WD vol 1 sold 5,880 copies in March and then jumped to 12,323 copies in April. Wow.

jjeanius Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Wow...that's incredible. I'd love to know the total WD TPB 1 sales to date thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500Club Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Looks like Saga 1 is going to exceed the 70k mark. A fifth printing is underway now to be on the shelves June 13. Anyone know the record for the most printings of an Image comic book? I thought it was the 4th printing due out on June 13th. 4th isn't out yet, is it?

Solar Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 All I can say is that the RRP looks rarer and rarer every time issue 1 goes back to press. Why, are they making the later printings out of pulped RRPs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingnuts Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Got an RRP up for grade speculation and can use a little wisdom, before it goes up for grabs: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=5729533#Post5729533 Thanks for the help!

gradejunky Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 In one of my LCS's yesterday at least. I picked up a nice 9.6 copy as they only had two to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troydivision1 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 So...who's 9.8 RRP is on eBay? I only figure it is someone here because of all the tech speak about the print run... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nico Esq Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Are the bottom left corner dings on all the books and/or considered production flaws like the binary tear in the upper right hand corner? This is the second 9.8 I've seen which has both. I assumed that the binary tear would be treated as a production problem, but did not imagine that the white bottom left corner would still get 9.8 treatment. Anyone else have any thoughts about these issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
