Nico Esq Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Image announced the following: "SAGA continues its soaring success with a sell-out of its third issue this week, as Image Publisher Eric Stephenson revealed in an interview with ICv2 that SAGA #1's sales are nearing 70,000 copies. The latest issue of the Brian K. Vaughan-penned, Fiona Staples-drawn epic series was called "stunning, entertaining, and revelatory" by Comic Book Resources. A second printing of SAGA #3 (APR128087) will be in stores on June 13 as well." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troydivision1 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (expected news to some / sad news for others) I got confirmation from Fiona via Twitter that neither her nor BKV would be attending SDCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddymagoo Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) (expected news to some / sad news for others) I got confirmation from Fiona via Twitter that neither her nor BKV would be attending SDCC. I nearly had a heart attack, for some strange reason I thought you was going to say they won't be continuing the series.

krighton Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 so 37k for the 1st and another 37k for 2nd/3rd, etc....wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadGenius Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 so 37k for the 1st and another 37k for 2nd/3rd, etc....wow. The actual numbers for the first print are higher than 37k in reality. The 37k projection is for U.S. initial orders and doesn't include U.K. orders or reorders. When publishers receive their numbers from Diamond, they don't get a breakdown of where the orders came from, just the totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the blob Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 so 37k for the 1st and another 37k for 2nd/3rd, etc....wow. yes, i understand we're in a shrunken readership market vs. the 90s, 37K isn't that much. it precludes it from becoming a chew 1 type book, but look at what x-men 128s are fetching and the print-run on that was much higher and not THAT long ago either.

Balham's Finest Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Saga #6 cover. Lovely Nice. I'm assuming this is some sort of play on the word Wreath (i.e. like a laurel wreath)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
