the authority Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Just read 6. Is there any reason that this needs to be scifi? I mean, ok the kid is 'plugged in' but you can handle that many different ways. I love the book, don't get me wrong... I guess what I'm saying is, this could be easily offered to Mirimax and they could easily take liberties et la: 'Wanted'. Not to say that was good either... Maybe I just don't get what the futuristic spin on the story brings yet. Thoughts? I think one thing it brought is firepower. Death's horse and the Ranger's dog aren't just for travel,companionship, or looks. They are pretty wicked. Xiaolian's hands are integral to the story so far and in the old west, they just wouldn't have been possible. This is supposed to be a post apocalyptic tale and the technology gives it that feel. The tech in the book shows what was and gives you an idea of how much was lost imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hog Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I can totally see that. Especially in the taking of House of Mao - which was pretty badass. The hands are an interesting touch. Wondering about the vases. Have you seen any hints of how the world got that way? Is it because of the Horseman or are they a byproduct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a clue about how it came to what it is but I know I like it. It appears to me that it was already in the conditon or state it is in even before whatever the other 3 horsemen did what they did to Death.

BeerThirty Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Getting heated in here haha... I was so bummed, my girlfriend saw that Duchovny was added to NYC and went to go buy tickets, sold out. I don't trust eBay for tickets after some baseball mishaps so we're not going to go. I would love to get my hands on that EOW Hardcover and another Dragotta sketch. If anyone feels like being nice and accepts paypal, let me know PM Nexus about getting a sketch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrothecollector Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Ok just grabbed all the back issues of EoW, including #6. So I'm jumping in. I heard a lot of good things about this book. Unfortunately, I grabbed #1 4th print, #2 second print. I didn't notice until I got to work and looked (I was rushing not to be late to work). But I think they only had those copies.

ThoseBackPages Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 i believe it's digital, with Nick re-drawing the "popular" pages as OA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emezy360 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 yes he did most of them digital it helps keep the pace of the book. He also said in a interview that he did not want to sell the pages he did do of the OA That's why he makes the limited prints he sells at the cons. if he was to sell I don't think it will be anytime soon.

retrothecollector Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) Wow that's pretty cool though. I respect that. Anyways, I guess Nick is the artist. Will he be at NYCC? And if so does he do sketches? Especially on that #4 blank.... Edited October 3, 2013 by retrothecollector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 i believe it's digital, with Nick re-drawing the "popular" pages as OA Digital? No bueno Yes, art is *mostly* digital. As with Fiona Staples and SAGA, the priority for Nick is to keep the book on schedule. Drawing digitally allows him to do that. The bad news for collectors is that the OA market thus becomes secondary. The good news, however, is that there ARE some hand-drawn originals, including covers. If/when Nick decides to sell any of those, I'll announce it here. I'm also working with him on his 2014 con schedule. He'll hopefully be available for more commissions/sketches. Again, more news to come as we solidify plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
