  1. NM #86 does not count as a Cable appearance. It's an ad.

    I can see UXM #201, but it has never latched on with collectors.

     

    You're welcome to your opinion of what "counts" and what doesn't, but that doesn't seem to have a relation to actual sales.

     

    Are you saying NM #86 is spiking?

     

    One CGC sale in the past three months on EBay, and it was a 9.4.

     

    Four 9.8 sales of UXM #201 in the past three months, and the avg price is $73.00.

     

    Not everyone buys graded books, heck, most don't.

    The rumor of Cable came out Feb. 10, since then 43 copies, raw & graded have sold on eBay. I would say that is a "spike", No matter price, it's a volume spike.

     

    Also, where are you getting your data? There are 6 CGC sales in that time frame I provided.

     

     

    :gossip: P.S., there is one before NMM 86 that ain't doing too shabby either.

     

    Where you agree with it as an "appearance" is inconsequential to the conversation.

     

    I think the masses look at NM 87 as Cables first appearance.

     

    Absolutely agree 100%, shoot 101%.

  3. Also of interest about how "hot" he was -

     

    Marvel had actually forwarded that mail on to me. I had thought they had sent me a washer or a dryer. I thought, "I'm getting some awesome gift from Marvel!" But it was all the mail from "New Mutants" #98. My editors said, "Rob, can we fast-track Deadpool? This is the most mail we've seen on a character in 15 years. People love him." It's why Deadpool is a trading card with "X-Force" #1, and a Fact File, and why he is the first 12 pages of "X-Force" #2. "X-Force" #1 is the second best-selling comic of all time; it sold five million copies. You have to ask yourself, "Why does the second issue begin with Deadpool for 12 pages?" Because the fans demanded it.

    They let me introduce Cable, and "New Mutants" #87 has eleven new characters in the first issue. It is like we showcased all new villains and this powerful new character that was designed to take over the book and transform it. And our sales went boom! We went up twenty-five thousand, and then we went up fifty thousand, and then in no time, we were at half-a-million.

  5. the movie is going to be a hit how big of a hit that depends on the film itself. I'm exticed for it and can't wait to see it and i know a lot of co-workers that didn't care much from the DC upcoming films are now really looking for to it.

    Yep,this is going to be huge. Most non-comic book people I know are more looking forward to Suicide Squad,than BVS! :o

     

     

    I agree. I have friends who have never read a comic talk to me about this movie.

    That last trailer did it.

  6. Welcome to the boards!

     

    You did get introduced to an exceptional series. :cloud9:

     

    Yelp. Can't wait to pick up #33 Wednesday. Also I figured since I have singles of 1-32 that I would start on the CGC 9.8 run for collection purposes. I'm in no rush to complete it because I know it will be a pretty penny.

     

     

    Don't start!!!! It never stops!!! lol

  7. Been thinking about this.... I think maybe the Joker is the big bad of the movie... He is never shown with the team, and only with Harley in flashbacks. It also looks like he may be in the skyscraper in some scenes that the Squad is later shown shooting up.

     

    If this has been brought up before, I apologize. Just some random thoughts I had while watching the trailer again.

     

    I think the Joker will be flashbacks only to Harley's earlier life. But I could be wrong.

     

    On the real 'big bad' of the movie...

     

     

     

    Who was assumed to be the big bad.

     

    Wait a minute.

    The Tattooed Man? Common is supposed to be playing this role.

    That could be him.

     

    I'm leaning more towards this theory.

     

    The third Tattooed Man first appeared in Green Lantern Vol. 4 #9. Mark Richards was a former U.S. Marine who went missing after a helicopter crash. He was presumed dead until he showed up in Gotham City as a hit man. He claimed that the tattoos covering his body were the sins of men he had killed, and that by the art of "sin-grafting", which he had learned from the nation of Modora, in which he takes the sins of others and puts them on himself, he claimed to be redeeming the men and women he killed. All his victims had tattoos of their sins.

     

    He was eventually stopped by Green Lantern and Batman. In DC's Brightest Day event, Mark appears as a member of Deathstroke's new team of Titans. He is convinced to join by Deathstroke who offers to help him track down Slipknot, the person responsible for murdering his son.

     

    A version of the character is associated with Slipknot.

     

     

     

     

     

    What the Heroic Hollywood site had to share.

     

    Common Wreaks Havoc As Tattooed Man In ‘Suicide Squad’ Trailer

    The above images are a little hard to make out, but it appears that the character causing all that crazy mayhem in the subway would be none other than Common’s Tattooed Man. You can make out some of his tattoos if you look closely enough, though it isn’t easy. While his ultimate role in the film’s plot remains to be seen, he’ll definitely get to have his villainous fun.

     

    :whee:

     

     

    Well poo. lol
