Star Wars: The High Republic

No.

He is named in SW 20 and the vision is extremely extensive. Essentially the whole comic with major dialogue throughout.

In HR 15 Elzar’s face is in a bubble on 1 page without being named.

They don’t have a limit cause it’s just estimates now… Is Diamond even sending them or releasing the data anymore? At one point I recall comichron stating such things…

I suppose I should pick up a copy….I’ve been passing on it and I don’t know why….maybe because it’s the flag ship title and they haven’t been much for spec in a long time…

I agree that there could be more out there. Not saying otherwise. I know they’re estimates and I’m presenting them that way.

But if we compare Comichron data with other Comochron data it’s an apples to apples comparison. This is personally how I use the data for my own purposes.

For example: Darth Vader # 1 2015 (First Krrsantan) is estimated to have 315,578 copies and HR 8 2nd print is estimated to have 5,312 copies. Which tells me that HR 8 2nd print is estimated to have 98% less than Darth Vader 1. Make sense?

I would. They’re still cheap. Elzar is a MAJOR character.

The die-hards over on High Republic Reddit recently picked him as their favorite character of the first phase.

So, pick a random title, do the math… there’s a %… I fail to see why this matters or is being brought up? You’re just coming up with an estimate of one book compared to another that aren’t even related.

Anthony has 10 apples. Poyo only has 1 apple. Poyo is sad that he has 90% less apples than Anthony. You’re just doing math percentage comparisons on unreliable data still… :man_facepalming:

And it’s not estimated print, it’s estimated sales. Stop saying print… (that’s a general statement for everyone who uses comichron)…

Even on comichron’s main site, it’s top slogan is…

“More than 203,000 comic book and graphic novel sales figures online!”

I noticed that this morning! Damn! I’ll put it in first thing in the morning.

Slacker…

Where did I say “print?” haha

I edited, it was more general statement to all who still seem to use “print” instead of “sales”. I’d even say to stop saying “copies” as that comes off as another way to say “print” instead of sales.

When you say copies, comes off as “print”… should read more like:

“Darth Vader # 1 2015 (First Krrsantan) is estimated to have 315,578 copies sold”

or

“Darth Vader # 1 2015 (First Krrsantan) sales estimates at 315,578”

:wink:

Okay. That’s fair.

Had really complicated deal close at work last week. Pretty sure the buyer tried to lure my client into tax fraud. Did my job and avoided that. Barely made it out posting next week’s FOC and releases.

And to be up front, I have nothing against Comichron. I think it’s a neat tool. It just seems like some don’t understand the data being presented and can easily misinform on such data. I just want people to know or be aware that one should take it all with a grain of salt. It’s data that wouldn’t hold up in a court of law, so we shouldn’t hold it up either when we start talking sales, prints or whatever numbers…

Is @anthony going to have to chain you up to the wall so you don’t go off and do this “other job” and not your primary focused job you have now? :wink:

Making the assumption all other things are being equal (I.e. that each issue and company is overprinting at the same rate, damages average out the same, etc. (big assumption)), it’s at least helpful on a comparative level within the data set.

“Issue A has such and such higher sales numbers than issue G as reported within this data set.”

That makes sense but comparing Darth Vader #1 to a High Republic #8 2nd Print to come up with a 98% less sold makes absolutely no sense to me on a sales/percentage data comparison.

I totally understand where you’re coming from. As I’ve said before, it’s the only barometer we have so I use it.
