NEXT ISSUE PROJECT #1 $5.99 (Maybe. Kind of a high price tag.)

I was on the fence at first,but it's not going to be monthly and it's around 9 stories packed in 64 pages which is pretty good.The thought of shelling out 6 bucks a month for one ongoing turned me off at first,but Larsen mentioned on his board that it will NOT be monthly.Only 4 issues max will make it out a year,which sucks but is understandable considering the amount of people they have working on each issue.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Hmm, that's a decent page count for $6. I'll probably get it.

I don't mind the quarterly schedule. It's fine for anthology books like this, where nothing's connected and there's no ongoing story.

 

[Anubis]

What's it supposed to be about?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Modern-day creators pick up where the last issues of Golden Age comics left off.

 

[Anubis]

I see. What characters are they using?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The only one I've heard of so far is Stardust by Mike Allred. Wikipedia lists some others, though:

[Anubis]

Heh, Shock Gibson. Theres a cool name.

I'm still hung up on "Crack Comics." Someone actually published a comic book called "Crack Comics."

I find it so odd that they can use Captain Triumph since he is owned by DC now.

According to today's update of COMICS CONTINUUM, CAPTAIN MARVEL #3 has "sold out".

A full 5-6 days before it hits shelves to be sold.

If anyone needed to know that it is orders in advance from stores, and not actual reader response, that are the source of sales in the direct market, this is it.

Plus, having not revealed how many copies were printed, or if any extra were as well, "sold out" is meaningless.

CAPT. MARVEL #1 sold at 50.5k, and the second issue sold at 36k in December, an over 25% drop. Granted, the first issue got over 6k worth of re-orders, so it may not be so bad. And it is a mini.
