Alan David Doane on Wondering Why I Think KE 7 Will Be a Monster Hit
posted August 5, 2008
 

Monster hit? Just curious, by what standard? I'd love to see it myself, and if it were 75 dollars cheaper I might actually do that, but I have to believe if someone as committed to artcomix as I am isn't able to justify the purchase, a lot of otherwise interested parties might also be giving it a pass. I'm truly curious what your thinking is on why this will be a monster hit, Tom, if you care to go into it.

Tom Spurgeon Replies: I think a lot of people will want to buy it. Hey, I could be wrong. The good thing is that if I'm wrong I'm not stuck with the printing bill. But my analysis is about as complicated as thinking a lot of people will want to buy it and will do so. Seven years ago, when I spent a lot more time yelling at people on the Internet, I would have a 24-point response, but I'm afraid that I'm no longer that person. Sorry, Alan!
