I'm laughing my *SQUEE* off, dunlow.
Thank you for this thread.
My prediction: By then, Ming Doyle will still be learning to draw vehicles.

If so, I hope elsewhere (harsh, I know).

Re: August 4001 VEI Sales Discussion
Having lapsed into the public domain, the numbers for the characters are spread over 3 publishers.lorddunlow wrote:Let's speculate what numbers VEI will be putting up in the year 4001...
VEI headed by the last scions of House Shamdasani and House Kothari maintain their publication of 9 titles per month, with almost every issue a first issue. This initiative started in 2015 and means that Harbinger vol. 23833 number 1 is released, along with X-O Manowar vol.23833 no. 1, Shadowwoman vol. 11817 no.1, Bloodshot and Armorines vol. 8978 no.1, HARDCorps vol. 7866 no. 1, Doctor Mirage vol. 6666 no. 1.
In the same month Eternal Warrior returns from hiatus with issue 9, and Quantum and Woody publishes vol. 1 (although some aficionados insist it is in fact volume 2) no. 23843. Quantum and woody has the distinction of being the only comic book produced with an almost 2000 year run where each arc is drawn by a stable art team. It still divides opinion.
With the characters in the public domain, Dynamite's VIP imprint started publishing their versions of the characters along with the public domain versions of the Gold Key stable. Thus far, the longest delay between issues has been timed at 177 years. Public battles between VEI and VIP adherents become known in the media as the 'VALIANT Wars'. VIP co-opts this name and publishes a comic book that bears little reflection of the course material. The second issue is late.
Woken from cryonic sleep in 3999, Jim Shooter reclaims the characters he believes are his, and begins his own publishing venture - Large Mammal Publishing. Initially not realizing that trends have changed since 1982, LMP eventually adopts a comic book universe-wide crossover called Unity 4002, as they look ahead to the future. Shooter uses the tag-line 'the 1992 style is absolute' to describe the writing approach adopted for LMP books from this point forward. The line is reinvigorated, and the VALIANT Wars sees the rise of a third faction. Some cyncial commentators rename the conflicts the 'Fanboy Wars'.
Sales figures for all 3 are hotly debated by their respective Fanboy Legions. The results are deemed inconclusive.

There will be no comics in 4001.. we will have utterly destroyed the world before being able to populate new ones and humanity will be recycled into organic fertilizer by our robot overlords. Thanks Google!

Re: August 4001 VEI Sales Discussion
So, does the portion that represents children under 12 include only purchases by children spending money that they earned themselves, or purchases made with money earned by their parents (or someone else in a higher age group)? I'm thinking I have to call BS on your chart.MarkRoseHFX wrote:sure manjmatt wrote:Can we get some charts in here?
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.
