I've written before
on this blog about the difficulties Marvel might face adapting Ant - Man, given the enormous damage to the superhero's reputation following a very nasty, very well
documented domestic violence episode (involving his wife Janet van Dyne, AKA The Wasp) in an early 1980s
comic book run.
While sales of print
comics are well
documented (by Diamond, the distributor to
comics shops, and BookScan, which reports
on bookstore sales), real numbers are much harder to come by in the digital realm, where everyone starts to get all vague and mumbly if you ask the question.
I still think that a 150 - 175 $ tiers could be a big success, and many 100 $ backers would upgrade to 150 $ if they could get these rewards: - Download of Broken Sword - the Serpent's Curse - DRM FREE - PC (Windows and Linux) & Mac - Regular Developer Diaries, ideas Exchange Forum and Video Updates - Access to exclusive digital content: Game Artwork (inc. poster and wallpaper); Director's Commentary
