I think he's been writing for TNA for the last few years. Has anyone ever seen Morrison and Russo in the same room at the same time? 90% chance they are the same guy.

Final Crisis was bad, but Russo bad? Ouch!

Feast or Famine seems like a fourth wall breaking, Animal Man-esque storyline that Morrison would have tried to write.

there is? (There were back in the day, there was some indie wrestling comic two years ago and Image had Lucha Libradores about Mexican Wrestlers fighting aliens and shit) there was a Nascar one, it even won a Harvey. :lol:

I don't think it has started yet, but they announced something a couple months ago.

If those books had been released with a $1 first issue, I would have picked them both up and given them a shot.

The $1 issues by Boom and Vertigo have been a major reason for me checking out books that I was on the fence about picking up and the $4 first issues by Marvel and DC have been a big reason for me not checking out other books I was on the fence about.

You may have tried it, but would you have enjoyed it enough to spend $2.99 on subsequent issues?

Maybe. I don't know because I didn't read them. I know that the $1 issues of Irredeemable and The Unwritten led to me buying those books at $2.99.

the point is at least the book would have had a chance. At 2.99, a book like that has no chance with a lot of people. Sales is all about getting in front of people.

Yep.

we'll never know because it didn't happen. I think Unwritten and this book see better sales then they would have as a result of the price.

People seem to like SWORD, a lot. The third issue just hit the stands with the announcement that 5 was it.

With the FOC system, #3 is the settle down point. If it had a #1 that was only a dollar it would probably have another issue before the attrition would have forced the hand and that is another issue for word of mouth to get out.

I know that you are going to say it sucks and that is why it is cancelled, but you know what? I genuinely don't think anyone puts out comics that they think suck and some people like books you don't. Giving them an edge in the market place can only be a good thing, regardless of any other issues the book may have.

punchy your insane if you don't think that the 1 dollar thing would help new marvel series by a lot.

You're welcome.

Fuckers shouldn't print stupid things as comics. :lol:

i seriously have to use quick reply just to post in this thread.

charging 3.99 for one shot or an annual is no big deal.

for a mini or a new ongoing it's fucking insane.
