Mishmashman Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) It's a hold in my book. This series has *immense* potential. A 9.8 TB in even 8 months is a $1000 book. I agree wholeheartedly with you that this series has immense potential, but $1000 for a TB #1 in approx 8 months! I can only hope that mine come back 9.8's if that's the case! Just look at Saga RRP. The book could be had for a few hundred over the summer. It's now a borderline $1000 book. And I expect fewer 9.8s of the TB. And I expect this series to rocket in popularity. Get in on the ground floor, folks, because this one's going right to the top. Edited April 4, 2013 by Manifesto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Linguini Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Well you did say you had 350 of them. Yeah, I realize that the main way the Internet works is for people to take a statement and make sure it's repeated in as many places as possible, as inaccurately as possible, but no, I never said anything of the sort. I said there were 350 comps. There were four people working on the book, so even if I got a full 1/4 of that number, I would only have received 87. But comps don't just go to the creative team, they also go the publishing staff (of which there are 14 at Image, not counting myself), plus there are people outside our office who regularly receive comps. (The owners of the company, representatives of other publishers we trade comps with, etc.) I got 50. 25 of those went to Flying Colors in Concord, CA; the rest were given to friends and family. Oh, and I have one at home, which is kind of tea/coffee/wine stained and dog-eared at this point. Are there negative numbers in the CGC grading system? Because this would be that. -e.s. Eric Stephenson Publisher Image Comics, Inc. www.imagecomics.com I have two things to say - tea/coffee/wine stained Variant? Can you get me a job at Image where I get comps?

ThoseBackPages Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 i am a fan of NWM. But it is not fair to compare NWM to Saga. Please explain. i am very green when it comes to this hobby. that being said, when a comic has the hearts and minds of females, it tends to bode very well for longevity. again, this is anything BUT a knock on NWM.

I was only comparing the two books' (RRP and TB) potential. Nowhere Men may not be there yet. But ES and Nate Bellegarde are putting a really good book together. Lurkers: READ THIS BOOK!

jonjesper Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 NWM is by far my favorite... Even better then Saga IMO It gives me the same feeling when I read books like Planetary, WE3, LOEG... It is evolving each time I read it and I can't help but want to go back and read it again to see what I might have missed. I am getting the most bang for my buck...that's for sure...

buddymagoo Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Yeah I took it to heart I've been a fan from page 1 of this thread and I was first to post information about the Thought Bubble variant so to be called a hater hurt a little.

No worries though. Didn't call "you" one and "hater" is a loose term. Psycho is too extreme. Chump, too soft. Hater just fits right in there... Yay soccer (or futbol, or rugby)!!
