Most have been glowing reviews about how refreshing it is for a Wolverine book.Shanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09526065680698553188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597330685028834268.post-74819276800134588062009-06-05T16:53:25.430-04:002009-06-05T16:53:25.430-04:00No the Wolverine #73-74 stories aren't tied to...No the Wolverine #73-74 stories aren't tied to the other books at all as far as I can tell.Jeff Metznerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14999238508906021766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597330685028834268.post-39740890860223061172009-06-05T16:03:38.673-04:002009-06-05T16:03:38.673-04:00Actually, Wolverine #73 helped me make up my mind....Actually, Wolverine #73 helped me make up my mind.

I'd figure, people that wanted to read Weapon X might not all want to read Dark Wolverine, and vice versa. So if they separated the two stories into their own issue each, they might lose sales from people that wanted to just read one of the books--they would only pick up one of the issues. This way, they're sort of forced to pick up both of them.<br /><br />I have no idea if it will work out that way, because readers might be irritated by the method, but it seems like how it would work to me. Of course, I'm just making random guesses.Shanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09526065680698553188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597330685028834268.post-87795297121948408392009-06-04T21:09:52.333-04:002009-06-04T21:09:52.333-04:00Well, yeah, that's probably their thinking but...Well, yeah, that's probably their thinking but I don't think the math works: comic shop customers are already either buying the book or not, and the chances of luring movie viewers in a month apart for both issues seems pretty slim.Jeff Metznerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14999238508906021766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597330685028834268.post-45305358813128589412009-06-04T19:56:32.875-04:002009-06-04T19:56:32.875-04:00Why they didn’t do one complete story in #73 and t...<i>Why they didn’t do one complete story in #73 and the other in #74 is beyond me</i><br /><br />I wondered this briefly when I saw the solicitations. And then it was pointed out to me--to get people to buy both of the issues, instead of forcing the stories to stand on their own.Shanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09526065680698553188noreply@blogger.com
