Highest selling single issues and best selling overall are very different things.
Can I get a link?Stef on Talking Comics tried to claim Marvel weren't one of the big two anymore and that it was now DC and Image. To which she was put in her place with the cold hard facts. lol. We were talking about it a few days ago. My joke is crap, its ok
It's about time brah got his shot.
i looked at a sample comic on the ios app, still 2 pages and i don't see the option to go to wide view.
It was in last weeks podcast during the talk about marvels new event. She claimed dc and image were the big two and bobby told her image have like 1/3 the share of either of them lol. it was kind of uncomfortable.

Thanks, I'm 6 minutes in.

Fixed Width is my everything.
Such luminous detail.
Comics in fixed width are worth $6.99, Marvel, I hope you're listening.

I have to be fair to them. This was a really bad first episode to listen to. Usually everyone but stef is fair and balanced.
Whats great is that she tries to claim that marvel are big two in mindshare but not in sales. BWAHAHAHAHAHA
Eh, I don't mind. AND there it is! I got to the part!
They saved her ass saying trade sales. They were talking about event's and they saved her blushes by saying trade sales.

And yeah, it is true that Image dominated the trade sales last year. But in the same way Image had nine of the top ten best selling trades of last year, Marvel had nine of the top ten best selling individual issues. And the issue sales pretty much determine what lives or dies in this industry, at least going from what I've seen.
I LOVED vol 1.
Now that I look back on it the art is unexemplary and I'm not as cray about it as I was back when it came out, but it still has its moments where it looks great. Capullo has definitely spoiled me when it comes to Batman.
When is it due out? I really enjoyed volume 1.

Finally got my hands on this. I never realized how huge the book actually is! Since this is the entire Miller run with the exception of Born Again and the Man Without Fear I'm hoping I'll get to understand the whole character of Daredevil before the Netflix show starts.

I can't tell if that's hilarious or pathetic, or the former due to the latter.

I like it. Liked the way the first arc concluded. Nothing neat and tidy about it. Will be interested to see what that means for future arcs and how they conclude. I'm hoping there's some shorter arcs in future as it's another one of those Image titles that I feel is kinda drawn out for trades. Cool little police procedural though. However, if you didn't like the premise the subsequent issues don't really stray too far from that. You're best off dropping it. Maybe check it out in later sales.
you would rather keep reading about Jokers Daughter?
Oof. I can never get over how good that omnibus looks.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to finally order it whenever I place my next IST order. I've been meaning to buy it pretty much ever since I got into comics.
But yeah, this is definitely a great intro to Daredevil. Born Again is a must-read as well (after you read the omnibus though), so definitely look into picking that up.
dcbs says May 6th, but it's in the current pre-order cycle for them that ends tmw.
I liked vol 1 too, maybe enough to want more.

Just finished reading the first Zero trade. Woooooooo! THAT was some good comics! I couldn't put it down, read it in one sitting (minus the first issue which I read back in November/early December). I love how theres a different artist each issue. I love how it jumps around in time, yet still feels like its telling a cohesive story. I love the after mission interview type things at the end of each issue. Man this is really, really good! I also loved in issue 2 the bubble that has a cute little message when you zoom in on it (digital only I guess.)

Pretty sure that came out in November, it was solid. Great writing by Lemire and art by the Dodsons.

Harley shows up on the very last page of Batman Eternal and says "Holy _____eroonie!" and everyone breaks character to laugh.
WHO ELSE BUT QUAGM- UHH HARLEY QUINN!

Man, Francine makes a great Batman.
And Katchoo makes an excellent Harley.
But for real, Terry Moore is so good.

Maaan, i did not expect Taskmaster's history to be *that* tragic. Impressive what a good writer can do with a character that's been around for so long.
Even though Unthinkable also was mostly a vehicle for movie references.
