the authority Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 East of West will definitely pass SAGA, and eventually Catch Walking Dead, IMO..... East of West may eventually overtake TWD in terms of comic book sales (though I don't think it's likely). Overall popularity/cultural impact? Absolutely no chance. +1 million quid I agree that the odds are very long for that to happen. The thing is, its possible that this thing could grow like that. TWD was definitely not as popular as this when it came out. I tried to get people to try it and got turned away a lot. To say that a series based on sci-fi, westerns, and a little manga sprinkled in can't compete with zombies...how about Star Wars, Star Trek, Farscape,John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Deadwood...yeah I know its a real longshot and we are awfully early on to be comparing to TWD in all media. Its not even close so I wouldn't try. I do think we can compare it to the comic and I think so far it holds up pretty well imho. The main thing I hope is that people give the book a try. I love it and I want to last longer than say Planetary or The Authority vol 1. I would like to be reading this book in 2020 if it stays as interesting as it has to this point.

Nexus Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 ***NICK DRAGOTTA COMMISSION ANNOUNCEMENT*** Nick will be taking a VERY limited number of commission requests for NYCC. This will be for 11X17 commissions. You do not have to attend the show to be on the list. Nick has generally stayed away from full-on commissions in the past, choosing instead to sketch for free at signings as well as doing simple sketches at cons. This is a rare opportunity. Please PM me if interested. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if he does sketch, they'll be his smaller con sketches (typically 9X12) and not the larger, more detailed commission he's offering here.

ZaCrew Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) Was just looking at the census on the RRP... Only 36 graded at 9.8. So only 12% of the print run has been graded at 9.8. That's fairly miniscule. Edit to add: I thought the print run on the RRP was 300... but seeing a lot of people saying 500 in their listings.. do we have any solid confirmation of the print run?

jreezy Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Not sure why this keeps coming up. This world CAN handle both Saga AND EoW They are not the same, and we can all prefer which one we like. Preach bruh. The only books I'm currently reading on a regular basis is saga and east of west. Both are very different but I love and enjoy them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the authority Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 If it ever became a TV show, please make it HBO or the like. They can handle Game of Thrones, they can handle this. They both have an ever growing list of characters and roughly the same number of factions. HBO can handle the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also... It appears midtown found a box of #1 first prints. No limit it seems, but they bumped the price to six bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
