Stray Dogs was a pump and pump

There were a lot of pump and dumps last year. Rwby 7, Bad Idea books, Black Panther 3 (The Next Miles). Stray Dogs wasn’t one of them. The story was quite good and it got a boost from the option news and creator signings at CGC. People loved the horror movie homages and retailers couldn’t keep enough copies to satisfy demand so Image had to pump out later printings. I don’t remember talking to one single person who didn’t like Stray Dogs.

If that’s how you look at it, isn’t the entire industry a pump and dump then? Every time we talk about any FOC books or speculate on any first appearances or nice covers here, aren’t we all complicate to it all?
Where do we draw the line?

For the record I never sold or have any copies of Stray Dogs, I read it online. It was already too late for me to get any first printings when it heated up. But having read it I can appreciate why so many people loved it.

Don’t know why everything has to be so nefarious? Hot books heats up and eventually drops. Only the blue chip keys keep rising in value over time.

I think Stray Dogs initially was organic despite being optioned months before FOC. People jumped on it after a couple of issues and it exploded. The exclusives and later printings were fomo/p&d imo.

I agreed with @mushu. “Stray Dogs,” was honestly a hit but then saturation came with all the extra printings.

Tynion’s Substack series Blue Book has FOC this next week via Dark Horse. Sort of an alien abduction book, but he claims Dept of Truth readers will enjoy it. I’ll probably grab the A and the 1:10, as it’s a glow in the dark cover, and I’m powerless to resist those.

Love the duo-tone vibe of the covers.

I am looking forward to that series. I do like Tyrion’s solo work and he has some interesting sounding series in the works.

Who doesn’t like a good alien abduction story?

#2285

If there probing? I’m asking for a

something i dont understand, it applies with a lot of bigger name writers
if the story is so good, why isnt it with boom or image ?

#2287

I thought the same thing. I figured Boom/Image would take just about anything Tynion scribbles onto a napkin. Maybe they didn’t want it because this content already exists in Substack form? They are just printing them now.
