the authority Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I'm collecting all. You can still get 3 at Midtown 1st and 2nd prints for less than cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jofinn36 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hopefully Issue 5 receives good reviews. Dang it I have boxes full of these issues. Doubt we will see a tv or movie deal. But as a comic its special IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the authority Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 You got me there. To me, this is a keeper so no way I'm selling all of them but yes, I also continue to buy these to remarket. There is something weird happenning with this book. We have three local shops here and they ordered light or didn't order these at all when they came out. Each of the shops has an empty spot on the shelf where these should be. I think they are missing the boat but I also think a lot of people ( locally anyway ) are not getting a chance to read this story. Midtown on the other hand has every issue available at cover or less. I wonder how this will play out in the long run. Some people might go back and get them but others may feel like that boat sailed and they missed it. Thoughts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the420kid Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 didnt this have a huge print run as well? that's prob why you can still buy #1 for cover from midtown all day.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natevegas Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 It was 49 K for issue #1 but midtown must buy practically the entire eastern seaboard of print runs and then some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jofinn36 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 About 50,000 thats alot don't know what It will take to see an increase with that kind of print run. But Saga almost had 40,000 so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawnyboy-migration Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) I'm getting the subsequent prints also... A little broke atm for an rrp My shop ordered light at first also, but ordered heavy reprints when #4 came out. I passed by that friday and all #4s were gone and there was a few #1 4ths. Owner said it's picking up steam, it's a small shop so he's happy selling anything new right now. Edited July 23, 2013 by Spawnyboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katchoo Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 For what it's worth, I read an interview with ES who said that EOW is following a similar pattern to Saga in terms of interest in it. He didn't go into any other detail than that. It's definitely the title that I'd bet on as being "the next Saga" if I had to and while I'm a little invested in it, I'm not sure if it has the wide appeal that Saga has. In saying that, some people were put off Saga because of the sex stuff so maybe that will even it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerThirty Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 "Collecting" or "Buying to make money in the future"? I don't know that there'll be a lot of money in the 2nd or 3rd prints. They may even be money losers. My guess is that registry set builders are doing it for fun :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natevegas Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Yeah I read the same thing. Both Hickman and Dragotta are very committed to this title which spells good news for readers and collectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hickman is a bit too esoteric for mass appeal, as opposed to Saga, which I think is very accessible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
