I'm not going to compare this comic to Marvel Spotlight 5, WW32, ASM 129, etc. because all those comparisons would be a complete joke. U cannot compare projected demand on a property/books that haven't hatched yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grib Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 What I want to know is this a bubble or a long term market change. I think in the long run a Bubble, with a small amount of books going crazy up in prices. Example Hulk 181, Spider man 129, Luke Cage 1 and Fantastic Four first Black Panther. Some maybes are Ms.Marvel 1, Iron Man 1 and the first Spider Gwen. I'm sure we could all add or take away books. Why I think it is a bubble, the age of collectors. I do not see enough young people holding books for the long term. I could be wrong because I am basing this on limited facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More money is made outside of the USA than in. This will be an action movie aimed at that market. It will be big, how long it remains big will be based on reaction to the finished film. I plan on selling a few of my books as soon as the advertising starts. I collect but I also sell to pay for my collecting. So again I will sell off a few books at that time. Now as a fan I'm real excited about this project. The Iron Fist show suffered by poor producing and not enough pre production work. It was produced and shot to quickly and the end product showed it. because the actor playing Iron Fist was really f***ing annoying, and most people can't relate to the troubles of a rich white man. Fixed that for you. Grib 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maidenmate91 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Btw a lot of dweebs who don't even read the comics assumed Danny's Ironfist character was "whitewashed" because it was a show about martial arts. So because of the fake outrage over this issue, it didn't exactly help it's case. Edited March 26, 2019 by maidenmate91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy who plays Diggle and perhaps Thea and Rene are okay. the show is certainly no better than Iron Fist. Robert Downey Jr.'s performance is what turned Iron Man from B-list to A-list. And Batman is an archetype. Those tend to have longevity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine my shock Sorry friend, those characters worked for a long time before the tv/movies represented them. Maybe not on such a massive scale. That said, you said the archetype of a "rich white male isn't relatable." That is why you stated it failed. So..... the SUCCESSFUL and rich history of these DC/ MARVEL characters disagree with you.

You know what they say about excuses... Last time I checked, Rene (Wild Dog) was a guy. I didn't say that "the archetype of a 'rich white male isn't relatable'" I said that Batman is the archetype of a particular type of hero. The inference is that transcends other things. And the characters working in comics is not the same as them working on television Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
