Guy should do alright as long as he gets at least 1 9.8.

If he gets one he'd be lucky to break even. Depending on when they sell. Would need at least 2 guaranteed for me to even sniff that price.

100% agree.  But if he gets a 9.8/9.6/9.4 then he nets about $50-$100 after grading fees and e-bay fees.  Of course he is hoping for two 9.8s and a 9.6 which would be a huge gain ($300 - $350).  I'd love to know how they come back.

I guess if you are willing to pay with your Vegas funds it is worthwhile. At the least, you lose a bit (which is what was likely happening with Vegas fund in the first place). At best, you make a small profit.

I read it similarly to Darkstar, and didn't see any actual specific legal language that would prohibit them from using Miles as Spiderman, or a Spiderman.  Additionally, even if Stan genuinely believed that there was some type of language in the original contract, that still no guarantee one way or another.  For anyone who has ever had to review contracts from an operational or compliance or legal perspective, 99.99% of the time the people who negotiated the contract don't understand the contract entirely, especially with regard to loopholes or unintended consequences or narrow definitions of specific situations.

With that being said, I don't see Miles Morales being spiderman in a movie any time soon.  HOWEVER, I think it would be  possible to be either some type of Spider-boy (not too likely), or to find an excuse to make an appearance wearing the Spider costume (like War Machine filling for Iron Man) or calling himself something else, like the Scarlet Spider.  But more likely, just as an Easter Egg or side character with potential.  But I could see him for sure making an app in a future movie, and if that is leaked, everyone can just sell their UF4 then and call it a day.

 

Except for jaydog, since he doesn't own any copies ;)

Why? 

I'm not sure if this is why...but

Todd Mcfarlane was interviewed by Kevin Smith (Silent Bob) at SDCC. Todd expressed he's aiming at directing a low-budget Spawn movie, with Todd as the director. His goal to have only CGI for Spawn and to make it real gritty. Todd is going to get direction from people who made the movies Get Out and Paranormal etc. He also displayed Spawn #1 new book made with scans from the OA (that he still has all the pages), anyway those scan's make a new book of Spawn #1 with all displayed: in black and white (as OA is only B&W), with the borders of the OA and notes on them included in the scans for the book. He remarked that some of his pages, I believe from Marvel, 2 in fact both together sold for $1 mil. He didn't sell it for that, in fact he had sold/traded those 2 pages for hockey cards way back when and that guy sold it for $1 mil, so the Spawn book is his "way" of making it possible for people to have some "OA" that are "scans" made into a book that won't cost $1 mil or more lol    :)

Seems pretty straight forward to me. 

Todd McFarlane has been working for some time to bring his comic book character Spawn to the big screen once again. Now, it looks like he’ll be able to do that, signing with Blumhouse Productions, the company behind recent hit horror films Get Out, Paranormal Activity, The Purge, and Split.

McFarlane made the announcement alongside Tusk director Kevin Smith with a Facebook Live video earlier today, saying that the film was no longer theoretical: “we’re now making movies.”

20 years after the first live-action Spawn movie hit theaters, a new one is officially in the works from Todd McFarlane. The famed comic book artist and creator took to Facebook to announce that he has teamed up with Get Out producer Jason Blum‘s Blumhouse Productions to make a new, R-rated Spawn movie. Get the details below.

The first draft of the film’s -script is complete. In the Facebook video, McFarlane says “the ink is just dry, and we’ve gone from the theoretical – no more theoretical. We’re now making movies. We’re going. Blumhouse, Spawn, badass, R [rating], it’s coming, get ready for it! We’re going into production.” No word on exactly when the movie will begin shooting, or when we’ll hear any casting news, but this must be an exciting time to be a Spawn fan.

There is a Ultimate fallout 4 variant cgc 9.8 on eBay. Am curious what the ending price would me.

Sky's the limit?  It'd be bonkers if it ended around $1,800 tho, but I'd be okay wi'dat.

1st Spider-Gwen Land variant looks to have taken off a bit, $900-ish in 9.8 recently hm

Still a great price to invest in that character. 

 

I think its ok to 'buy' at that price if you love spider-gwen or that cover, but I'd be a little wary of 'investing' at that price.  There's probably a lot of better options for ROI, especially with such a high initial investment.  This comic was rare and sought after from the beginning, vs like BA 12 or some of the ASM variants.

Unless you think there a possibility for some cultural event 'pop' that could spike the price.  I don't think she'd get a movie, but I guess there's an outside chance at a tv show (later) or cartoon (sooner, but less likely).  I actually think Spider-Gwen would make a great high energy Japanese anime, but I don't know how that would affect pricing.

Of course, everyone's cost and risk preferences are different, I'm just not too sure that $900 to invest wouldn't be spent better elsewhere in comics.

I could never spend that much money on a cover done by a porn tracer like Land, but to each their own!

I'm talking about a set-and-forget situation, where you spend the money and revisit it in 10 or 20 years. I wouldn't spend 1k on the book if I put forth any sort of time and effort into buying and selling books for a profit. Way too many other options with that starting capital to see far more profit if you are going to actually put time into regularly dealing books. But I think the character is a home run and that book, while a variant, was released before variant fever caused retailers and Marvel to drive them into the ground. And my assessment of it being worth a buy for the long-term did not even consider the possibility of the character being used for a movie.
