August 2007 Sales Charts & Market Share Report

[PhotoJones]

ASM is going to be semi-weekly. And judging from the creative team, it'll be quality. I wonder how far into the thrice monthly schedule we'll get before the first issue is delayed...

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

The Order, Nova and Iron Fist all deserve to be doing better.

 

[PhotoJones]

Agreed. What can we do to remedy this?

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Rob people and buy extra issues of those comics.

 

[PhotoJones]

Crime. It always boils down to crime. *sigh*

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Yeah but its for a good cause so we'll all be anti-heroes and then we can get spiked shoulder pads and ammo pouches.

 

[PhotoJones]

LOTS of pouches.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Yeah, but Liefield can't draw us.

 

[PhotoJones]

Liefeld couldn't draw me anyway. I'm too pretty. And I have feet.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

And elbows.

 

[PhotoJones]

And a normal hairline.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Seriously, though, what's wrong with people?

More people brought Amazons Attack than Nova?

I don't care if Amazons Attack was an event, I didn't even touch it and the sheer suckage I heard coming from people who had read it made me glad I didn't, while Nova gets nothing but good reviews.

 

[PhotoJones]

Yeah, but you can't be upset about it. If you get upset about people's lack of taste, Dread might come in here and cry.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Yeah but I had to try and veer the thread back on topic before CaptainStacy got in here.

 

[PhotoJones]

You're like my new Hype soulmate. :heart:

 

[King_Mungi]

Little drop for Omega Flight, but actually still quite stable and outselling on-goings.

It's nice that Marvel is basically ignoring the future of the book (ie. sequel, or on-going)..what no news in months now? come on.

 

[PhotoJones]

There's supposed to be another mini, isn't there?

 

[King_Mungi]

There's supposed to be another mini, isn't there?

No, nothing has been said at all.

EDIT:
-This is the most we have gotten in months

From the Mondo Marvel panel @ the Baltimore Con:

Quote:
What's the status on Alpha Flight and Omega Flight? Brevoort said the limited series was well received, now editor John Barber will develop something further. An announcement is coming soon. Meanwhile, look for Weapon Omega in "Marvel Comics Presents" in a story by Rich Koslowski and Andrea Divito

 

[Dread]

The Order, Nova and Iron Fist all deserve to be doing better.

Definitely.

Yeah, but you can't be upset about it. If you get upset about people's lack of taste, Dread might come in here and cry.

**** you, man.

Besides, I read all three of those books, so it isn't somehow my fault.

No, nothing has been said at all.

DiVito? Sweet. Maybe Koslowski is being "bred" for a OF mini or ongoing pending how his MCP story does? The original MCP was used to "test" some writers, wasn't it?

Anyway, the book deserves some sort of future series on these numbers, IMO.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

The Order was just added to my pull list too. ****. Please no cancel. Please.

Nova's not half bad either and that's saying something when I liked something spacey. I hate spacey ****.

 

[antonydelfini]

What the hell is wrong with Iron Fist? It's as good as Bru's Captain America in terms of quality. Cap might be more emotional and socially heavier, but it's got nothing on Iron Fist when it comes to fun and entertainment. People! Just buy the damn comics and you'll get hooked! I promise! Danny rocks!

 

[Manic]

Allow me to properly promote Immortal Iron Fist...

Folks, if you buy the next issue of this book, you know what you'll see? Kung-fu. Pure, relentless, badass, in-your-face kung-fu. Ever seen a Jet Li movie? Jackie Chan? Stephen Chow? Amateurs. You need some Immortal Iron Fist in your life. And it has the best kung-fu. So buy it.

Okay great idea. Anyone who wants this Iron Fist series to see issue 300, promote it in the forum now! Anyone can top Manic's Kung Fu advertisement?

- Every issue of OMEGA FLIGHT has held steady, and it deserves an ongoing. Unfortunately, Kolins signed to DC and Oeming may not be as interested. It will be ironic that after Marvel dared readers to support it, and they delivered, that OF stays on the shelf because of creator implosion. Like YOUNG AVENGERS.

Wow, I hadn't heard that and it really bums me out. Kolins is really at the top of my list of artists that I'll buy regardless. Any idea of what he'll be working on. If I'm even marginally interested, I'll probably pick it up. (First Booster Gold, now this. Soon my comic budget will be out of my control. Well, more out of control.)

From what he's said, Kolins' tenure at Marvel was basically Kolins getting screwed left and right with no one really to blame. Like everything unintentionally bad about the industry came down and landed in his lap.
