Support NeoGAF

[Tragicomedy]

I haven't been playing Overwatch lately with the move and everything, but support sniper sounds like a perfect fix to people not wanting to heal. It seems like everyone wants to snipe, even in game modes where it makes almost zero sense.

 

[BrightLightLava]

Overwatch thread! New hero support sniper, getting rid of sudden death in competitive mode, no more hero stacking!, d.va buff in the form of her defense matrix not being a 3 second thing, zennyata buff so he has more shielding.

But none of this is happening today so read your comics.

Down for no hero stacking, down for Zen buff. Down for New hero. I've been playing that game a lot less lately, but it's still fun to pick up for a round or two.

 

[LordOfLore]

Digital comic sales dropped by 10% in 2015.

Best stuntwoman.

 

[Owzers]

But $4.99 digital books are so enticing.

 

[mreddie]

Ana looks like Egyptian Helen Mirren from Red.

 

[Neoxon]

As stated earlier, it'll probably be back after Death of X.

 

[mreddie]

Kate Leth's new book being announced tomorrow.

Wonder if she's leaving Hellcat because those rumors are still out.

I haven't played in a while. I'll definitely get back to it when the new character drops.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Still playing every night even though competitive has been annoying as hell.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Officially ending my vacation by reading Manifest Destiny 19 and 20. I'm ready to meet Harry's ancestors.

 

[BrightLightLava]

Wonder if she's leaving Hellcat because those rumors are still out.

With the way she was talking about the announcement/leak yesterday, I got the impression that she wasn't going anywhere just yet.

1 hero limit will make me go back to overwatch

Same here.

Ghostbusters was amazing

Ghostbusters was amazing

Sure, you Sony shill.

Dammit, not out here for almost four weeks.

It's only in competitive.

I was worried I wouldn't like it, but ti was legit good.

And I'm a big fan of the previous two (Yes, even 2)

2 is great.

 

[Lashley]

2 is great.

I agree, but it seems to get shit on

 

[Owzers]

Not sure how i feel about Mercy's ult taking longer to build, i like using res frequently, oh well. Damage buff is boosted which i use a lot too, must be to compensate for Ana's damage boosting potential. Sure you can move while ulting now, but i' will probably die anyways unless i'm doing a zip line ult.

That res and Mercy as a whole became way too much of a necessity in Competitive of all levels. A nerf for her seemed unavoidable. With her getting a nerf and with the new hero I'm really interested in seeing team composition in tournaments moving forward.

 

[LordOfLore]

BC: Veronica Fish leaving Archie.

Batman #1 probably sold more than reported. 350K is the safe number(and the one King talked about on a podcast the day after it came out).

 

[Sandfox]

Colorist and Inker doing the lords work.

Tom Taylor said the book isn't going anywhere.

Cho's working on his variant for WW #5:

 

[frye]

Future Quest and Transformers vs. GI Joe are like two completely opposite approaches to solving the same problem and they're both good as hell

 

[Brian Fellows]

The Walking Dead #156 went about how I thought it would but it wasn't any less satisfying.

 

[BrightLightLava]

Cho's working on his variant for WW #5:

Wowzers.

 

[LordOfLore]

Man, I would've paid for a Hickman New Mutants book.

"The Sexual Reawakening of Old Aunt May Parker"

Look, we all know Tony would've jumped on her if Jarvis didn't.

 

[Messi]

That was... not the D.Va buff I was expecting. Would have rather had damage increase.

Yeah that's disappointing.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

the Defense matrix buff is reaaaaaally good btw

 

[olympia]

I normally don't dig the typical fare that comes from Avatar, but I'm really enjoying Cinema Purgatorio.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Yeah that's disappointing.

Well she also no longer gets hurt by her Ult, so there's also that.

 

[Poodlestrike]

He's actually been putting in some really great work on those covers. He's just such a damn troll who's latched on to a really sore subject for a lot of people (understandably sore, I might add). Damn shame.

He probably makes gobs of money off those Manara covers though.

What are the D.Va changes? She is my character with mercy so it's important

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Is Jim Lee the highest paid comic artist currently? Dude has a nice house and travels the world every week.

 

[LordOfLore]

Hey, does anyone have the sales numbers for the old Rich!Nova book? Want to see how bad/good it did the last year and compare it to Sam!Nova's sales this volume. The way CBR writes about Sam you'd think he was in the top 20 best selling books and not the bottom 20.

(Can we just go back to calling Rich Nova Prime and Sam Kid Nova?)

Gotta do some digging but they're all listed here (linked to the issue 1 Dick Rider month).

Slayven surely knows a better way.

He's at the executive level, isn't he? His cover rate is probably pretty high, but I'd be surprised if that's where he was making most of his money.

Between the 90's boom and selling Wildstorm to DC, Lee has made millions. Dude's set for life unless he picks up a coke habit.

her ult no longer kills her and defense matrix is getting reworked into a bar usage instead of 3 seconds.

D.Va

Defense Matrix

-Cooldown decreased from 10 seconds to 1 second

-A new resource meter has been added. This meter will deplete while Defense Matrix is active and then recharge when it’s not in use.

-Defense Matrix takes 10 seconds to reach full charge from empty

-At a full charge, Defense Matrix will last for 4 seconds

-Defense Matrix will now remain active as long as its assigned hotkey is held

-Defense Matrix has been reclassified as an alternate fire and is now bound to RMB (by default)

-An option to “Toggle Defense Matrix” has been added under Options > Controls > D.Va

-Self-Destruct Ultimate cost decreased by 15%

-Explosion delay reduced from 4 seconds to 3 seconds

-Explosion no longer damages D.Va (the player who activates it)

Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ. That's a lot of money for a cover. The most I've spent on a page is $325.

Jim Lee interiors for Harley are also starting at 1k and you are lucky if she is in that page

From the Marvel Now thread:

Rider's last volume, which was the version everyone can't let go:

April 2007, #1: 42,873
April 2010, #36: 22,365

Sam's first run:

February 2013, #1: 80,857
December 2014, #31: 18,129

Sam's second run:

November 2015, #1: 45,536
June 2016, #8: 19,720

I'd guess 60K tops and then it'll drop down to near Sam's level, depending on the creative team. Sam spikes higher, so I assume these are newer readers, who aren't as consistent in their buying habits. Rider probably appeals more to consistent comic shop patrons.

So can someone explain to me, an uncultured slob, why individual comic pages go for so much?
And what's the appeal of them vs the mass market releases?

They are rare.
