Re: The Beginning of the End?

Re: VALIANT December 2013 and End of Year Sales Discussion

I call bull *SQUEE*. The comics are overpriced and mediocre at best. People are finally figuring that out and it shows in the monthly sales. :roll:

Re: VALIANT December 2013 and End of Year Sales Discussion

You're way off. 10k per title is more realistic. Both single issues and trades combined. Still a good number.

Re: VALIANT December 2013 and End of Year Sales Discussion

So we're not seeing a growth in readership, we're seeing a growth in titles. And a shuffling of readership from one title to another.
100K seems to be the number of readership between single issues and tpbs per month. I guess that is sustainable.

Re: VALIANT November 2013 Sales Discussion

I wonder how much of the decrease is people (stores) stopping buying multiple issues just to get the variants? Is a store is no longer able to sell a 1:50 or 1:25 variant to one of their (let's guess) 10 valiant subscribers, they may drop from 25 (or 50) issues to 15 or so. My lcs orders 10 issues ...
