Deadpool outclasses that book. Same price tag NM 98's would sell much faster. Only reason TMNT #1 is worth that much is of course because of the low print run. I can't agree with any of this. Deadpool is hot right now, that's all. The Ninja Turtles are a global success and have been for decades.

Seriously, is anyone expecting to see anything other than drek when clicking on a link to a Liefeld variant? Still a thousand times better than that last interior artist on that last She-Hulk run.....omg that was bat crazy bad. Weird. I must have missed that art Nate. Wait a sec..no it's not because it's She-Hulk! Here is an example. I rest my case.

This isn't an accurate statement. I don't know if you are completely joking or just very hopeful, but Deadpool is not in the club. One successful movie doesn't make him equal to the greatest superheroes (and Wolverine) of comic history. His long term success in movies is also unproven as his character (beyond his origin story) largely depends on the ability to be increasingly inappropriate and vulgar with his co-stars. If you read his comics all he does is break the 4th wall, be violent and make sexual/violent references towards the others. It will be difficult to keep this schtick fresh and still build a brand without denigrating the superhero co-stars to a point where they become parodies of themselves and no longer bankable. The used two throw-away stars in his first movie, there isn't an endless list of these and there is only so much believability in that type of rinse and repeat approach. Everybody is doing backflips over a one-trick pony. People can celebrate the success of the movie without going over the wall bat-*spoon* crazy about how this is the next coming of the savior. Does this apply to Harley too? The Suicide Squad movie will put her on the map. Harley has much more upside than let`s say Wonder Woman. I look at the upward trends and most of the younger generation thinks Harley is cooler than Wonder Woman by a mile! The old traditionalists will tell us how cool Wonder Women is,but we all know Harley is way more interesting! Things change. Tarzan at one time was more popular than Wolverine. Buck Rogers at one time was more popular than Star Wars. Fantastic Four at one time was more popular than Deadpool. Harley and Deadpool lots of upside! Insightful. About as insightful as horses at one time being a more popular form of transportation than cars. The M*A*S*H* finale is still the recordholder for most watched TV show (barring Super Bowls) in history, with 105 million viewers and 60% of households tuning in (approximately). This should make it likely to sell more comics than WD. Like 30 times more if viewership has that strong a correlation in your other examples. Cheers was also huge, with the second highest rating ever for its final episode. Where is the long term Cheers bump? Cheers is deader than Mash. There will be no bumps for both of them. At one time Milton Berle was the king of TV. Ask anybody now who Milton Berle was? Deadpool and Harely have more upside for investment potential than MASH,Cheers and Uncle Miltie because Mash,Cheers,and Uncle Miltie`s time has come and passed,while Deadpool and Harley are just getting started. Deadpool and Harley are a great opportunity for collectors to get in at the beginning before their first appearances skyrocket. Anybody remember how Star Wars #1 exploded in price over the last few years? Don`t be surprised over the next few years NM #98 and Harley`s first appearances continue to rise. For some reason old time comic book traditionalists hate change, and resist when new characters like Deadpool,Harley and The Walking Dead take off. Deadpool,Harley and The Walking Dead are good for the hobby because they create new interest. . To children everything is new. Do you think a 5 year old remembers Spiderman from the 60's, 70's or 80's? No, he gets his first impression from a movie, comic or cartoon series. It is all new interest to them. There is no denying that Deadpool and Harley are more popular now than they ever have been, but just continuing to repeat that fact over and over is not a valid line of reasoning to extend their popularity into perpetuity or compare them to heroes that have billions more impressions per year (Superman, Batman, Spiderman and even Wolverine). I get it you are a fan and there is nothing wrong with that, but you are also not making any points. My point is Harley and Deadpool have huge upsides heading into the future. I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I am out. Do you honestly feel they have huge upside knowing how many copies are available and the census numbers? No matter what the future holds I just don't see a huge upside for either one but would love to know your justification for such a view. I enjoy them both but they don't have the depth other major characters have. A one trick pony can only keep the attention span for so long IMO.

Well that's just awesome. The toothpick sword taped in is absolutely hysterical! Where did you come across that?

Oh how I'd love to travel back in time to take part in that auction! That's such a OA grail to me. It would be an absolute dream come true to have that on my wall.

Oh nice, I haven't checked out Ted 2 yet but I will make a point to now.

Love and Rockets #1

I'd buy the one that brought me the most joy to own. Why else would you buy it? Unless this is yet another financially driven thread. If that's the case I'd say none of them.

The part I gravitated to like a moth to a flame was The Tick Special Edition #1 Orange "Ashcan" Edition. I would absolutely love to own one the authenticated 25 file cabinet copies. Okay any of the existing copies and I'd be on

Thank you for scanning it in and posting it. It's so awesome to look over and see it all laid out as it is. It brings back so many good memories of when and where I got certain items. With the exception of the Tick Bandages, man those hurt to pull off! It's funny because I still get as excited today knowing something Tick is headed my way in the mail today as I did so many years ago.

I'll try to find something in my archives to post up that would inspire a comment from him! ...hmmmm.... any suggestions? A 1996 Tick catalog!

Wow, he's giving JSC a run for his money on those! Very nice. Jerome Dell'Otto is a better artist. 100% agree I should clarify that I do respect the work of JSC. I just prefer the work of Dell'Otto more and feel that for the work they are known for Dell'Otto has more talent as an artist.

Mr. 9.8 has been off the boards for a few months, it happens. I know all is well with him and hope he returns.

Oh you are very welcome, it's even more impressive to hear that you created it in Photoshop! You are right about Bill, I am extremely happy with the Newsletter I picked up from him. I'm not sure if The Tick was on any other cereal boxes. The only ones I'm familiar with are the regular and cinnamon flavors of Life cereal.

Well you should not have declined the first one!

That image is so awesome looking.

Is the current model DC and Marvel have in place working? Or is it a temporary fix? Only so long the numbers can be propped up by reboots and retailer incentive variants, no?

Thank you James and Chuck.
