What will the Man-Thing movie do for the comic?

[currincomics]

I beleive it will perk up the interest in the charecter, and will raise the value of ST #1, Fear #10 and Man-Thing #1. I don't think it will boost the interest the way the Blade movies have done for TOD #10, but only tome will tell. I do think it stands a chance to be the next Marvel BA charecter to get hot though. Oh, and what's up fellow collectors, been down and out with a sinus infection and bronchitus.

Probably do nothing. Possibly a minor boost that is short lived

I have to say this again.......Man Thing #1 is the worst, and I mean worst, comic book I have ever read.

I predict it will go from "Completely Ignored" to "Almost Always Ignored" on the Comic Interest Meter for about two days and then it will slip back into well-deserved obscurity.

 

Drugs kill, people! Or at least they get preposterous movies green-lit! Say no to drugs!

I, agree, this was suppose to be direct to dvd/Blockbuster title, but Arad seemed to see BIG$$ out of a low budget film. I think I'll wait for "Movies on Demand" from my local cable provider.

The movie will only confirm that Man-Thing sucks and result in driving prices on Man-Thing comics to all time lows.

i'm so glad i sold my man-thing #1 CGC 9.6 to specs for $175 last year.

Generally speaking, I think with Marvel churning out more movies that there will be SOME residual impact on the comic market (maybe not a dramatic sell price increase but maybe more ease of moving books) but I believe there will be diminishing returns to the overall collectible market over time--especially if 1/3 movies bomb big time (for instance, Hulk didn't meet my expectations in the manner Spidey did).

 

And the Punisher preview I saw looked more like a made for TV movie...I wonder what will happen to the ASM 129 prices after all has settled...

Just curious if the Swamp Thing movie from 1982 (yes, it is a 22 years ago now ) or the 1990 Swamp Thing TV Series had any impact anyone remembers on the comics.

[Freiherr]

I loved that movie! I never bought a Swamp Thing comic, though. I had forgotten about it, but I have wondered the same thing about the Superman and Batman movies.

 

I think Man-Thing is a great character and, if done right, is going to be an awesome movie. With my luck Man-Thing #1 will shoot up in price because I have seemed to misplaced my copy.

 

In reality, I doubt it. There are just too many comic related movies out or about to be released. Only those movies that create a following of the characters will effect the comics.

I'll tell you, I would love to see a HEAP movie made! THAT would be cool if the llok and feel of the day was maintained.

It's amazing how diverse opinions can be. I happend to think it's one of the BEST comics I've ever read and I have all the issues from the first series. Just a GREAT comic to read for me.

I have to disagree.

Man Thing was an excellent read.
