88MPH

We here for the most part at least who are Tron fans are sorry that you had to cancel it for what ever reason there were for you to do so. I am sure there was a really valid to discontinue it for some reason like you have said. Which we truely respect in this matter 88MPH.

D.J. Aussie that is no way to treat fellow tron secotor members here. Even I know better than that to not call people names. There were some decisions that were made that for whar ever reasons there were to either continue it or discontinue it. We all must respect each other no matter what. And even in this case for a Tron 2.0 comic book.

I am truly sorry for the Tron fans out there, I dearly love that franchise, trust me I do, but what can you do, sometimes it works sometimes it don't. -=S=-

This does make me sad, very much so...although to be honest I doubt I ever would have seen a single issue on the shelves of our local stores.

We can all only speculate on the cause of this sad news, but I can safely assume a large amount of work has been done on the project...can you tell us if there are any plans to shop the property around to some additional comics companies for a final spit-n-polish and eventual release?

Perhaps maybe CrossGen or Dark Horse, since both have done a fantastic job handling movie properties.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pillabortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

88MPH probably didn't get enough pre-orders, or they did a R.O.I. (or cost/benefit) analysis and found it would've been very difficult *for them* to profitably sustain Tron comicbooks for any length of time, or ever. They seem to be a relatively small company, only having a couple different projects at any one time. Thus, their production costs are likely high compared to other larger comicbook firms. ("Economies of Scale" comes to mind.)

Why do I say this? Well, because businesses are in business to make money. If 88MPH saw dollar signs at the end of the Tron comicbook tunnel -- enough dollar signs to recover all the high costs associated to their production and Marketing of this -- then they would've proceeded through to the final steps of publishing the Tron comicbooks.

But it's a no-brainer. They obviously didn't see the dollar signs (the Return On Investment). Why do I say this? Because they cancelled.

What business wouldn't want to make risk-free money? 88MPH saw too many risks, given their relatively small size and high production costs, so they cancelled.

Business is business. Sabastien said it himself in an interview regarding the Transformers publication (http://www.digitalwebbing.com/interviews/112402_clavet.html):

"Sebastien : Everybody has to be paid. Everybody has to eat. I certainly read the forums and saw that some artists were disappointed in not being contacted or chosen. Again I don't make all the calls; it was a mutual process between Hasbro and me as to what styles made it in. Again I do understand the frustration it created for some people, business is business and as cold as it sounds, hard decisions had to be made, otherwise the book would be 400 pages. I hope nobody was offended in the process that was certainly not my intent."

I find it odd when presidents of companies can't even spell or have a difficult time with grammar. Look at all typos in Sebastien's earlier post, assuming it was he who wrote it. Wow! "publicaly", "painfull", "don't"?? The above article mentions Sebastien is the President/Art Director.

Oh well, I guess it doesn't (or shouldn't) matter. You don't need the best English skills in the world to be smart and make wise business decisions.

-=-=-=-=-=-
The above is simply my thoughts on the situation. If no official word is going to be given by Sebastien, or anyone, then we are left only to theorize. We're free to post our opinions on what the real story is, no matter how off-base we might be. Until an official word is announced, I challenge all users to speculate on the reasons for this 88MPH decision.

But to Sebastien and others who have an "in" on the project: give an official word. Stop the rumors now before they get out of control.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

Tis sad news, but my thanks go out to the 88MPH studio guys who got the oppertunity, thanks for even considering a tron-comic, good luck with other comics, thanks.abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

Well said indeed tronprogram, thanks guys.

Someone needs to edit the story on the news page about the comic . . . sigh.

As for why the comic was cancelled, I think Traahn is way off base. After investing what was clearly a lot of work in the comic, I don't think Sebastien and 88MPH would just toss it aside like that.

I have my own suspicions about what happened, but it's best not to dwell on them. All I'll say is this is a huge disappointment. And with Pixar apparently leaving their partnership with Disney, another serious damper is put on a potential new movie.

Sebastian,


As for the grammatical errors that you had written in the posts are fine by me and for the others. I do know that it is hard sometimes to find the words being translated from one language to another. Whether its from French to English or English to French. So long as we all inderstand each other overall whether you make mistakes in translation should be fine. Since we are all here to have a good time. C'est vrai pour toute monde.
