Any news on Young Animal/ Vertigo? Did the whole Shelly Bond's

Fresh news lasts about a week on twitter, if that.

Way is apparently working on Umbrella Academy as well, so I'm kind of worried that he's biting off more than he can chew in terms of workload.

That being said, he's probably had Hotel Oblivion written in some form or another for some time now.

>>82576622
He said he's taking a break from music for a while so that he can focus on comics

Christ, I can remember seeing a trailer for Hotel Oblivion on Myspace. Fucking Myspace. It's finally coming out.

Also, you look like a smack head in that picture there.

>>82576681
He's a good writer, but very Morrison-lite

If DC PR is actually on top of their game (which they never are), they can really cash in on What's hype and fandom. Like Marvel is doing with Coates.

>>82577050
Way's. Stupid autocorrect.

But My Chemical Romance are the band it was cool for everyone to hate back in 2006 anon.

Your sister liked them, so therefore they're the shittest shit to ever shit. Literally Justin Beiber before Justin Beiber.

Check the comment threads on any page relating to Way's comic book work and you'll see a multitude of people who've never read any of his comic stuff complaining that he's writing comics "because he's a shitty writer"

For all the hype you'd get from people who were MCR fans, you'd get just as much hate from people who feel the need to tell you how much they hate "that emo shit" just to prove how cool they are

>>82577143
It doesn't matter tho. Emofags and hipsterfags that love MCR are the same people that would find Doom Patrol hot and sexy. They just need to create the hype.

>>82577143
Pretty much this. Coates is a negro journalist. Way is just a white guy that was in a band people liked to hate.

If you were 16 when Black Parade came out, you are 26 now.

You've got a spouse, maybe a few kids. One would hope you grew out of the rebellious emo/punk/goth/rocker phase

Its bot going to be as easy to get those people fired up about something a bloke in a band you liked 10 years ago is doing

>>82577143
This.

Why is it everything that teenage girls like is seen as utter shit? I mean it usually is, but why do people bang on and on about it?

Rules 1 and 2 Chris.

>>82577622
Because what teenage girls like usually drives pop culture.

>>82578416
Examples?

>>82578605
the beatles, elvis, michael jackson, all owe their fame and renown to teenage girls

>>82578702
I mean in more modern times

>>82578842
Every young adult book/movie franchise ever, the CW, tumblr, selfies

>>82578842
Ke$ha, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Nick Jonas, Fallout Boy

>>82578842
Backstreet Boys, NSync, Spice Girls, My Chemical Romance.

>>82578842
Hunger Games, Harry Potter, LotR, PotC

>>82576995
Which I love.

My favorite Morrison stuff is always his more toned-down work.

>>82580189
Oh I agree, and Way's work is good, its just a very good cover version of someone elses stuff

Literraly whos

So /co/ lets get real for a moment

How much do you think each book is going to sell? In floppies and in trades.

>Doom Patrol
>Shade the Changing Girl
>Cave Carson
>Mother Panic

>>82577388
>married at 26 with kids
We're not our parents, dude

>>82580484
Doom Patrol will be the standout, easily. 80-100k for the first issue, eventually settles at 30-40k.

The rest, starting orders of 40-50k and quickly dipping below 10-15k. Maybe Shade will be a little higher. I don't think it will hurt that much since I expect these will sell better in trades and digital than the typical comic.

>>82580662
Rebirth is about increasing trade sales

>>82580662
I think you're overestimating Doom Patrol's popularity. There's no way it nets 100K for a first issue unless it has a variant cover of Batman getting his dick sucked. Even Swamp Thing and Constantine's New 52 #1s couldn't pull 80K and those are names people actually know. The good news is that it'll probably have fairly steady numbers after the initial drop off period. But yeah as >>82580728 said, I think these are the kind of titles where trade sales will really count.

>>82580797
I think the combination push from DC, Gerard Way, and some small fondness for the Doom Patrol will get it up there. This comes out in Sept. which is after all the Rebirth relaunches, right? So it should be the only major new release from DC that month. And it's the first one out of the gate, with the rest coming in Oct and Nov.

Though that also depends on what Marvel has coming out too, I suppose.

>>82580889
Knowing Marvel, they'll still be doing Civil War 2

>>82580889
Okay let me rephrase, that's just an unrealistic number for most comics in general, even A-listers. Browse through some monthly sales of comics here: http://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2016/2016-03.html and look at what's in the top 10 and what their numbers are.

>>82580797
Except they won't count since DC Adoesnt give a ashit about trade fags or digital only fags. Fuck, those tumors are why DC killed DCYou as quickly as they did

>>82580484
DP 15-25k
Shade and Mother Panic 7-8k. 10 at most
Cave Carson 5k but it's going to get the best reviews. Not saying it's going to be the best, but the majority likes to form their opinion on something before it's out.

>>82580889
It'll take like 20 variants for it to get anywhere near 80k-100k

60k is even still pretty high but more doable, along with settling at 20k-25k.

But thankfully Way has over a million twitter followers and just 1% of them need to get the trade and it'll be selling more than DC's trades that aren't Batman, Superman, JL, and Harley.

haven't heard of this before
well i like doom patrol so ill check it out

>>82576589
Who's that handsome cat?

More importantly, is Morrison going to ghost/guest write for his apprentice? Will this turn into another Millar situation?

>>82579387
>Pirates of the Carribean

Really?

>>82581168
I think it's the contrary, DCYou made them realize that there's entire audiences who are into comics but don't buy floppies, which is why Rebirth is meant to speed up trade publishing and probably digital as well. The floppy market is not exactly the one that's growing.

>>82583024
No, because Way doesn't need him.

>>82583024
Doubt it, he's said he's not doing monthlies for a while and probably has his hands full editing Heavy Metal

>>82581168
They absolutely care about trade buyers, they jockey with Image for the top spot on bookstore trades

Fuck, they've officially partnered with IST

>>82577050
Not really about DC at this point, Way has his own people who will mobilize his fanbase.

Floppy sales probably won't be there but the trades will do great. Maybe even digital since dedicated music fans are used to overpaying for shit from their favs.

>>82576689
That's the opposite of a victory.
