Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities Pre-Infinite Crisis Minis...Which are you getting and why???

Igee, a very great and very thorough list. I'll add any if I can think of 'em (I collect all DC comics), but you seemed to have summed it up pretty well.

I did a little research re: sales of the 4 minis, and DAY-YUM. "Hotcakes" don't sell enough to describe this.

OMAC PROJECT made a respectabe debut with 60,000-plus orders for # 1... then the LUNACY began. Not only does the following month see re-orders for OP # 1 at 20,000-plus (REORDERS, people!! This is more than HAWKMAN, AQUAMAN, FIRESTORM and more sell!!) and initial orders for OP # 2 were a BLISTERING HOT 80,000-plus, catapulting OP # 2 to seventh place of the top 100. Good LORD.

Even MORE incredibly-- VILLAINS UNITED # 1 also saw 80,000-plus initial orders and landed in SIXTH PLACE. AND IS ALREADY ON A THIRD PRINTING.

Unbelievably-- RANN/THANAGR WAR # 1 ... a freakin' HAWKMAN/ADAM STRANGE book.. **ALSO** made the top 10, at # 9! I was totally floored.

DAY OF VENGEANCE # 3 didn't crack the top 10 but was smack dab there in the top 20.

DC, unbelievably, had HALF of the top 10 slots, which almost NEVER happens, thanks to these minis. Yep, these minis have been a GARGANTUAN success for DC.

And In case anyone was curious, GREEN LANTERN # 1 topped the list at a staggering 168,000-plus preorders.

I'm getting all four. I fully expected to like VU and DoV, for the writing at least, and I loved the ADAM STRANGE miniseries, so I was definitely on-board for RTW-- but Omac Project has blown me aWAY! The art is beautiful, but I was expecting that from Jesus' work on MANHUNTER; but I really wasn't expecting much from a glorified Batbook. How wrong I was! Now I have to pick up the rest of the mini of the shelves because I passed on preordering any of it after the first issue... :rolleyes:

P.S. to people desiring first printings-- I'm pretty sure I can still get them all except OMAC #1. Shoot me a PM and let me know!

Lash's figures above help explain how DC jumped ahead of Marvel in sales for May.

I'd hoped these would do well, but I'm knocked out by those numbers.

Back from the CBS..

I snagged reorders of OMAC PROJECT # 2 & 3, and received # 1 via a big sweetiepie.

Also snagged a reorder of DAY OF VENGEANCE # 2.

So am I caught up now?

I have VU # 1, DoV # 1-3, RannThan War # 1 and OP # 1-3.

I'm just going to have Brian pull the rest of these minis for me. Too risky otherwise, plus I'm really enjoying all of them. I can't believe how hot these books are.

i'm still really enjoying all 4 mini's so far !!

got "OMAC" 3 along with the "PRELUDE" tpb !! and even though i have all the major parts in that collection, in their original comics, it was still pretty cool having them all together, and the small text pieces were great too !!

Matthew.

VU #2 is also out (and is really good, too).

The R-T War #2 is as well.

well, CRAP! There was no copies of either one at my CBS! Curses!!!

That's evil!! *hugs*

Would that I could send you them...

Stupid DC and their stupid massively successful comics!!!

AAaaah, I'll be okay, the CBS will get reorders in and I have informed my guy there to pull the rest of these books.

Although the "thrill of the hunt" was kind-of interesting.

Villains United #3 should be out next week as well.
