CBT Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 i have no problem ordering that many of a hickman title...unless it's Secret Never bought into that one, worked out ok. I think the fact that this team is celebrated already for the FF stuff, is going to have an impact. Same way pundits and bloggers launched the Wii to success in the last gen console wars. Social Media and Web buzz matters to getting eyes on a book, this one has that via critic anticipation, PLUS cover of previews. It might not be an instant craze like Star Wars, but its going to do well. I still think it will become his main book and start to dent Manhattan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krighton Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 1 variant is fine, ala Saga RRP, but please please please don't open the floodgates like Bedlam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThoseBackPages Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 i think Saga is going to be the last "great" book that doesnt have more then one variant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjeanius Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 General rule of thumb: When everyone you know is buying multiples, this will inflate the print run and limit upside. When there is a thread like this geared around speculation on a book that hasn't even come out yet, that makes me want to look elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When there is a thread like this geared around speculation on a book that hasn't even come out yet, that makes me want to look elsewhere. The star wars one didnt have a pre-thread, I made it once i saw the bleedingcool article cause i knew it was going to spike the books. What are your thoughts there? It's worth noting, the Bedlam, Revival, etc, got lots of push from Image as this one is, Revival is doing well, Bedlam is still wait and see. What are your thoughts on those?

Awax Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Revival took a month or so to be noticed. #1's sat on shelves right up until #2 came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 This book looks cool from the art I've seen, but I wouldn't expect a small print run. I think the days of big Image books coming in under 30K are behind us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBT Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Revival took a month or so to be noticed. #1's sat on shelves right up until #2 came out. I bought some (one of which is my 9.8 slab now ) almost a month after from an LCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I was completely wrong about Saga, i thought 37k was way too many copies to increase the values of the #1s as high as they have been. Then again Saga is probably a bolt of lightning that strikes every few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangbus Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) what big shows are in April? There will most certainly be a variant for those shows. WonderCon FanExpo C2E2 These 3 shows come to mind. From a promotional standpoint, all 3 of these shows make sense to run variants to promote a new title that just came out and to reward those in attendance.

Then again Saga is probably a bolt of lightning that strikes every few years. The same can be said about the story itself. A sci-fi book that is attracting non sci-fi fans and even casual comic book readers. I passed along the trade to two of my friends that rarely buy floppies and now they are hooked.
