So because JOHNS WROTE Hal back into the books in a successful way the book is selling so much? NOT because Hal is on the cover.....Basically what I stated from the start. Also by your argument GL could start to suck ass now and it would continue selling on Hal's "star power"........
I don't think so Tim. Tim? Anyway, yea, not nearly as many people will read GL once Johns stops writing it. The same thing happened with Justice Society of America. And that's a shame because I think that book is still decent. I just hate that the team was split up. | |

| GL sells for 2 reasons, Johns & Hal. If Johns stopped writing it the sales would drop, of course. But Hal still sells books. | |

Yes we get that, but you were stating that it was selling because of Hal's face being on the cover period. Those are your words not mine. | |

No, I said that lots of ppl will look at a book cos the cover catches their eye. Diff. wording but same meaning. All the other "faces" on that cover are sort of obscured & don't stand out that much, from what I see. I don't think they'd make a "stand out" cover amongst all the other stuff on the shelf. | |

The fact of the matter is that you were trying to pass off your opinion as fact.....with the whole "Period" statement. Learn the difference and maybe such a long dragged out discussion won't take place next time, that and you know......actually say what you mean. | |

There was no misinterpretation on my part. Yea, Dan, you kinda typed something different than what your saying now. Also I disagree that the hero's face helps sell the cover. For instance, on this same GL book. Both Atrocitus and Larfleeze were used on the cover by themselves. No Hal Jordan. I guarantee that those two covers were probably among the highest selling single issue in the current GL series. Great compositions, and artwork sell covers. All we're saying is that using Ion instead of Hal would have helped the composition make more sense. You can disagree with that if you want tho. It's still a matter of opinion. | |

It's still a matter of opinion. Hal's not the only dude that sells comics. I completely agree about good art & stuff. I also agree that the composition makes more sense with all the "avatar" things/creatures/beings or whatever they're called.
I was trying to say Hal sells books. It's a statement in itself. Whether it was clear or not is... well, it's not the first time I've been misunderstood & I'm sure it won't be the last. | |
