During the three-day holiday on New Year's Day, things related to comics followed one after another.

The comic craze brought about by the ninth volume of "Steel Refining" has surprised many cartoonists.

I originally thought that paper comics would start to decline due to the emergence of Duo Mannet, but "Steel Refining" proved that as long as the work is excellent, readers will definitely pay for it.

In Hongchuan City, "Steel Refining" was almost out of stock, and sales in other parts of the country were equally impressive. On January 4, the official microblog of "icfuture" announced a reprint of "Steel Refining".

The hot sales of "Steel Refining" also drove the sales of "Star Game" magazine. The first issue of the New Year’s "Star Game" sold 100,000 more copies than before, which made the "Star Game" magazine overjoyed.

Then Wang Yunze joined Doman.com.

Although Wang Yunze’s cartoons have not yet been officially serialized, Duoman has used Wang Yunze’s high popularity in China to allow some readers to focus again on Duoman. Some readers watch Wang Yunze’s interview videos and half-price annual memberships. , Couldn't help but rushed to Manjia.com for the annual fee.

According to Duman.com’s official WeChat report, on the first day, the number of users who handled annual membership fees on Duman.com reached 200,000.

This data far exceeded everyone's imagination, and with the passage of time, this number continued to climb, and by the third day, it reached 400,000.

In addition to Wang Yunze, Duoman.com also dug a person who may influence other magazines-"mangafly" editor-in-chief Yuan Zhe left the original magazine and will join Duoman.com as the CEO of the website after New Year's Day. All matters of Mannet.

This level contains two levels of meaning.

First of all, the editorial department of "mangafly" has lost its helm. No one knows what will happen to "mangafly" in the future. Secondly, the top person in charge of Duoman.com changed from Tong Yu to Yuan Zhe. Duoman will be separated from Fengshuo in future operations.

Yuan Zhe also has a certain appeal in the comics industry, and it is easier to recruit powerful authors if he sits on the Internet.

Many comic fans don't pay attention to these, they may not even care who Yuan Zhe is. For them, apart from Wang Yunze's joining Doman.com, another thing that interests readers is the release of the first issue of "icfuture".

"Hunting the Abyss" was published again after a lapse of 18 weeks, and the latest episode of "Steel Refining" "Western Sage (Part 1 was also published at the same time.

One is the former pillar, which was re-serialized and published 40 pages in one breath. The magazine gave it a front page color page. The other is a popular work recently.

Many readers opened the magazine as soon as they got the comics, and from the beginning to the end, they first turned to "The Hunting Abyss".

After the hunters defeated the final boss, the lord of the beasts, they killed the lord of the beasts, filled their corpses into the nutrient solution, and pulled them to the metropolis to make specimens. However, due to the carelessness of the staff, the internal organs were not removed.

In half a year, the body of the Lord of Warcraft absorbed the nutrient solution. With the help of the disguise of the torso, the visceral cells gradually became conscious and grew into a fist-sized ball of meat, which burst out of the bottle when the nutrient solution was replaced in the institute. , Quickly moved into the body of the staff.

The staff in charge of monitoring found an abnormality and immediately sounded the alarm. Three S-level hunters wanted to intercept and kill the Lord of Warcraft, but were killed by two people. Another female hunter was controlled by the Lord of Warcraft...

"Hunting Abyss" was about to end, but now we have to continue to create on the basis of the original comics, there will definitely be logical conflicts. However, if you ignore the logical flaws, it is not difficult to find that the follow-up plot of "Hunting Abyss" is also quite exciting.

Fortunately, this statement is 40 pages long, and there are color pages in front of it. It is full of sincerity. Few readers are deliberately stabling. Moreover, Ye Hexu quickly gained recognition for "Hunting Abyss" by virtue of his outstanding chaptering.

Whether it is Weibo, the hot discussion on comic web forums, or a large number of readers' letters, they all prove the success of "Hunting Abyss".

"Steel Refining" is just after the war.

For general comics, after a wonderful duel, there is often a period of flattening. The reason is also very simple. It is afraid that the plot is too tight to keep the reader's spirits always excited. When the plot comes to the climax again, there is no way. Arouse the emotions of readers.

There is another point-due to their own strength, the author may not be able to keep the plot in a high-tempo state.

"Steel Refining" handles this plot by dividing its forces into two lines.

One of the lines, with Al and Roy as the mainstay, fought fiercely against the cyborg. After the end of the war, "Steel Making" then led to another line, replacing this period of calm with Edward's experience.

It seems that there is no fight, but the effect is not weak at all.

Edward and Lord Fu followed Bleda as "stowaways" to the east and into the desert.

Bradley and the others met his father, and at the same time explained the reason why he didn't kill Roy.

"I want him to open the door!"

This sentence seems to slow down the rhythm, but the tension of the plot is not weak at all.

At the end, Roy and a few patients stayed in the ward, examining the relationship between the president and the artificial people, and left a suspense about whether these people could discover the true identity of the president.

...

Both comics are very exciting, and the debate on the two comics on Manjia.com forums has also become more intense.

Taking advantage of the rising popularity of the two comics, "icfuture" also released the weekly sales of Volume 9 of "Steel Refining".

"Volume 9 of "Steelmaking" has achieved excellent results in the past week. Among them, China’s weekly sales volume is 750,000 copies, and the weekly sales volume in District 11 is 520,000 copies. Thank you for your long-term support. I will work harder in my work!"

The release of this Weibo left many people dumbfounded.

With the addition of 11 districts in China, the weekly sales of a single volume of "Steel Refining" approached 1.3 million copies, which far exceeded the expectations of most readers.

At the time when the paper comics market was slightly sluggish, "Steel Refined" produced such a report card, which proved that the paper comics market is still strong.

"Fake? Will Volume 9 of "Steel Refining" have such a high popularity?"

"Some time ago, someone said that the sales volume of Volume 9 of "Steelmaking" in District 11 was 500,000 copies. I thought it was bragging? I didn't expect the official confirmation today."

"1.3 million copies a week, a bit exaggerated."

"It's very exaggerated! This is the result achieved under the premise that the animation was not released!"

"To be honest, there is a big gap between "Sirius" and "Steel Refining"."

Someone mentioned "Sirius~lightnovelpub.net~" and naturally someone mentioned the Weibo posted by Duanping.

"A few days ago, someone said that "Steel Refining" hired the navy? You can find the navy for the heat. Come on, do you think this sales volume is also for the navy?"

"Just kidding, the author only gets 10% of royalties for a book. If you brush a single book, isn't it a loss?"

"I remember some time ago, Mr. Duan posted a Weibo,'High heat doesn't mean good sales'. Now it's face-slapped? Has Mr. Duan's comics more than 500,000 copies in a week?"

"Don't tell me, I saw that Weibo and smelled a strong sour taste. It is estimated that the income of "Steel Refining" in a week is equivalent to the income of Teacher Duan in a few months, right?"

"Stop arguing, Teacher Duan deleted that Weibo!"

"Huh? I still want to take a screenshot as a souvenir! This is over (crying)."

The next few floors were filled with grinning emoticons.
