Your Opinion Of The Most Influential Modern Comic Book Character

[ComicConnoisseur]

I don't see why other media can't be contenders to produce the most "influential modern comic" character?

 

 

Rick Grimes--I don't get The Walking Dead love, but the TV show's popular even among non-comic readers. I see it as a passing fad, however (a la Preacher, Y: The Last Man, and 100 Bullets--all of these were superb, but will never be as influential as Sandman).

 

 

What? how do you think it's a passing trend? The WD print runs have surpassed some mainstream titles. That's not a fad, that's popularity. CHEW is a fad, the WD now is more popular than Preacher and Y have ever been. Hard to say this, but it is true.

(thumbs u Agreed.

Some old timers can`t fathom how The Walking Dead is now taking on a Lost tv show iconic status with mainstream.

I had a few old timers pm me that Walking Dead is just a fad. No it`s not. It did what Superman,Batman,Spider-man and TMNT did. It conquered other forms of media early. Not many comic book creations can boost what the Walking Dead has done.A huge ratings hit. I expect Walking Dead CGC 9.8s to eventually become a $1000 + book in the years ahead.If we do the math we find a 7000 print run with millions of fans. Just imagine how hot this book will be down the line when the rule of 25 takes affect.
