Re: Previews
Once the ball starts rolling, and Harbinger, Shadowman, Bloodshot(or Rai) and XO are in full swing, if the stories are as great as they used to be, I'll most likely drop 90% of my marvel and dc purchases, because frankly their stories mostly suck balls.

Re: Previews
Seriously, nobody has a scan/photo they can post yet? I don't have an LCS, so don't get Previews but would love to see the listing.
I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Re: Previews
You have no idea how much research we've done on that! One day I'll show you my crazy giant spreadsheet charting that entire relaunch - every announcement, advertisement, convention appearance, release date, solicitation date, interview, price point, incentive etc. etc. etc. The entire plan charted to figure out exactly what worked, what didn't and why.Daniel Jackson wrote:Hopefully, they were taking notes when Dark Horse dropped the ball with the GK relaunch.BruceReville wrote:By December we should know how well the new Valiant will do.

What Dark Horse did to/with those characters has left a really bad taste in my mouth towards them. Glad there is a plan in place NOT to repeat it.

When might you all drop the news on the ideas to bring people back into actual stores? I just want to make sure I don't miss it and it's getting a bit tough to follow all the news / insight all over the place.
It would be awesome if there was one sticky thread here where only Dino, Greg and DJ could post in it all the announcements / news / links / stories, etc. in one spot. Maybe there is one and I've missed it.

Good point, but the last post there was in Aug and most of it is about the old HCs and stuff.
