Colonelbubb Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I'm not going lie, I grabbed an ashcan and a yesteryear comics exclusive #1 variant (500 copy print run) as a purely speculatory measure. However, the story does seem rather interesting. So here's hoping, hype train or not, it's worth a read, show or now show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybes Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Just read issue 1. Story is okay, but I could not get past the blatant Julianne Moore swipes for Mrs Briggs. Seriously distracted me from the plot and almost ruined the book for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the authority Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Enjoyed this quite a bit. I can see why AMC purchased the rights to it. Will it be great ? Who knows but I'm already interested in what is going on with 7 different characters. Rare for a 1st issue. Very well written. The art isn't perfect but not terrible either. This has been an exceptionally good week for number 1 issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

followtheleader Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Story seemed okay? Elll no. This was another great #1 by Wood. Guy is straight gold. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnywadd Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Good pick-up by AMC. IMO Wood is a great writer. I'm not sure why DMZ never made it to the Television, but I think this story could definitely be a great show in the making. I'm excited for the characters and story to unfold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owsler Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 In a perfect world DMZ would be HBO's next smash. Fascinating story, diverse characters, great setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the authority Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I have even bigger hopes for Briggs Land. The premise allows for a much larger audience if issue #1 is any indication of what to expect. Characters that you actually care about in a large cast is tough, but not impossible, to make happen. Game of Thrones, Lost, Sons of Anarchy, and The Walking Dead have all had huge success with this formula. This comic appears to be next in line. Read it again and liked it even better the second time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astoria Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Just read it, I am in. Godfather, Sons of Anarchy, Postal, comes to mind. Well written and has room to grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the blob Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 It's all marketing fluff. Media announcements to hype & sell books. It literally means nothing. well, i don't see on every book that's for purchase everywhere that they are in talks with AMC to do a tv show about the book, it could be hype but i guess we will have to see.. i bought a few just in case and you might be laughing but i bet you bought some too haha I haven't bought any. I know better. I'll wait for the reviews to come in, first. by then you'll be paying $10-20 a copy .. id rather buy a few at cover and win in the end vs buying AFTER it gets big, if it does, not saying it will but you never know my friend.. this isn't a debate i was just asking for thoughts on it tbh I see these still on the rack right now. Why would they do a TV show for a book with no track record when there are so many books that have a couple of seasons worth of good material to work with already there? for example, I understand the 50,000 or so people who read preacher at its peak are not why the show was put on the air 20 years later, but there's a lot fomaterial there (not that they're using it so much...) I really enjoyed the Thief of Thieves TV show. And Scalped. And Southern Bastards. Oh wait a minute... And yes, I know, Outcast got a TV show with no track record, but Robert Kirkman at that point could do whatever the heck he wanted (and probably still can).

I always assumed they probably looked at Woods' body of work and thought his style fit what they were looking for. I think that's how a lot of this works now a days. Multiple channels are looking for original content creators (Netflix, HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, AMC, and more), the original series is what it is all about these days. Or Woods knows someone inside. Or someone is throwing darts. Also, if Kirkman can do anything he wants, he has a lot to answer for with regards to Invincible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
followtheleader Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I highly doubt someone making a movie really cares about the comic book success. It's highly likely that he pitched it and they loved the idea. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
