Sorry if this has already been discussed, but if not...

 

Revival is VERY similar to Rachel Rising by Terry Moore (which is an earlier story).

 

Why is Revival such a big deal and Rachel Rising isn't? Because Revival has an Image logo on it? (shrug)

 

1. Image Logo

2. Black and White Artwork

3. Timing

 

That being said I love Revival, but in my opinion RR is a better story.

 

Definitely timing. Image logo sure helps too.

 

Well honestly I have never even heard of Rachel Rising until people in this thread complained that its Revival done better. But I'm attached to Revival so I see no reason to abandon a good story line just because someone thinks someone else story is better. That's like jumping out of a perfectly good ship in the middle of the ocean because someone thinks the ship 5 miles off in the distance may have better food. (shrug)

 

And yes, it's a terrible simile but it made me laugh so (tsk) to all you haters.

That's akin to someone not reading All-New X-Men just because they read Uncanny X-Men, or saying that someone shouldn't read Walking Dead because just like so many stories out there it's about people coming back from the dead. Just different perspectives on the same underlying theme.

 

Believe me, I'm not taking anything away from Revival, I absolutely love the series, as does my wife. I'll continue to read both, but I'm still intellectually curious about why one has gained the popularity it has when the other, as you yourself said, has people that have never even heard of it before. (shrug)

You've already received your answer, though - Revival is published by Image, RR is not. In today's comic book market that's all there is to it, really.

Cause no one sold a #1 for $1,000,000 and no TV news came out. :makepoint:

 

I commented in the other revival thread yesterday. I liked this issue. Story is starting to move along

 

lol you're probably right.

 

I really liked this issue. There was a lot of stuff happening, and it's making me anxious for the next. The pace is picking up.
