also print run maters alot, if the preview is in multiple books like walking dead or even strange academy than no one cares really, but with basiliks 1 2nd print its the only book to have it and print run is probably pretty small of 2-3k
BOOM! is gonna take advantage now and put it in more books in hopes of selling more copies of them. It’s the BOOM! way and I’m sure they’ll do additional printings of the preview, maybe even in single preview format as an ashcan variant…
I never said they put the previews in Basilisk #1 2nd print to sell copies, I’m saying now they could pull a BOOM! tactic and put the previews in other titles or issues of theirs to boost sales…
I understand your logic…I just don’t agree with it.
There won’t be much demand for later books with the preview. Especially with a higher print run. The one in demand is the first one.
So if their goal was to sell books…you announce prior to FOC the first one, and sell a crap ton of books.
Even Dark Blood 1 2nd is past FOC, so even if it’s in there, it’s past FOC so won’t sell any more copies.
And the FCBD (probably the same material) is only a few weeks away so there isn’t much time to solicit a new book and promote it pre-FOC to sell more copies before the FCBD comes out.
Or you could give them credit for doing it different this time instead of being the hype machine they usually are. But that wouldn’t be like you to give credit and not complain ;-).
I never said they hyped up previews in books though. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them hype up previews inside of other titles before. Not sure why you’re even bringing up things I never said or implied at this point…
