Katchoo Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Do you intend to post what you paid for a book every time you talk about a purchase on the boards? If someone asks me then yes. Problem? What's your name and where do you live? How much do you make in a year? Is it a secret? What people decide to share publicly varies from person to person. Not a problem and not hard to understand/comprehend, either. You guys having a bad day or what? I asked how much someone managed to get a book for then jokingly asked if it was a secret. Then out come the attitudes. You guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then out come the attitudes. You guys. Having a very typical day, thanks. Not so much an attitude as questioning why you were pressing the issue. You asked, and he did not answer, so you asked again. If a person wants to disclose what they paid they'll do so after you ask them once. If they don't answer it isn't polite or productive to keep pressing the issue. Like Nexus said, they'll answer if they are comfortable doing so, but if they don't it isn't worthwhile to keep asking them. If you meant it as a joke, humor and sarcasm often come through poorly on the internet when asking questions some might consider personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for saying something jokingly online, that's what emoticons can help with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebtorres Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I've managed to pick up two copies of the RRP, I got one and waiting on the other. I hope the second copy is as good as or better than my first copy which I think is in the 9.6 / 9.8 range. If my copies of ToT #1 are 9.8 with that ink rub on the E, then I don't see why these RRP's shouldn't be the same. I hope that's the case...

jreezy Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Any issue of WD can also serve as a jumping in point for that reason. Neither EoW nor Saga have that easy relatability or lend themselves to simple explanations. If I tried to explain either to my non comic reading friends, or gave them random non #1 issues to read, they'd likely be like "WTF is this?" To me that is the biggest difference between just about any book and WD in terms of investing and potential for more than a quick flip. That is a good point as well. I'd also add, East of West and Saga could NOT be turned in to a cost effective show. That also makes for less popularity. Heck, I don't think either could be turned in to a feature length movie either. I completely agree. You need to know the story and background to care about those books, and that doesn't translate into mainstream success. Good comics, sure, but not blockbuster long term investments. Valid points. However, look at A franchise like game of thrones. Great storytelling and has a dedicated fan base prior to the show. It is having success despite the complex storyline and different characters. I think saga can have success if it was on a hbo caliber network. You can't deny game of thrones doesn't have any wtf moments either and it has more shocking moments than Saga. Just my two cents.

Awax Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Finally read #3 tonight. Enjoyed it more than the other 2. I guess I understand more of what's going on by this issue (same thing happend with Saga, I guess I'm just more familiar with the characters.) The art is awesome also.

I'm not sure comparing it to MP is fair at this point. I think that the books are different beasts. I like MP better because it's funnier. EoW is still a lot of fun. I can see there being lots of people who really like one, but dislike the other. They tone in each book is so different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Linguini Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Yeah but Manhattan Projects is the main reason people who don't like issue 3 will pick up 4. I'm going to go up to issue 6, so I can make a more informed decision on if I should stop reading or assume Hickman is God and it will get better. Although the new Avatar Title from Hickman kind of suggests the latter point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
