divad Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I know Rob Liefeld gets hammered around here, but the cover of NM #98 is my absolute favorite of the 90's, because it's "so 90's" in it's style and composition. It's the perfect snapshot of everything wrong (and right) with comic art from that era. Yep, celebrate (or not) the 90's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Deadpool Hits $47.5 Million Opening Day Box Office, Projected For $130 Million Plus Holiday Weekend Deadpool brought in a $12.7 million during a Thursday night preview showing, setting a new record for both a R-Rated film and a February release. On Friday, Deadpool added to those numbers, bringing its opening day box office to a staggering $47.5 million. Friday's haul set a new opening day box office record for an R-rated film and for February, and the odds are good that it will break the same records for opening weekend. To do that, it beat the $30 million Fridays for both Fifty Shades of Grey and American Sniper, obviously by a substantial margin. With the better than predicted opening day, opening weekend projections for Deadpool are being revised way up. Early industry projections had Deadpool pegged at a $65 million to $70 million opening weekend. The idea of a R-Rated film breaking $100 million on opening weekend was inconceivable to many box office analysts. Now, projections have Deadpool possibly exceeding $115 million during the 3-day weekend and hitting around $130 million over the 4-day holiday weekend.

Bosco685 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I wonder what this will go for. First Deadpool Preliminary Cover Art Up For Auction It's a prelim sketch of the cover of New Mutants #98, Deadpool's first appearance. It's signed at the bottom of the page by Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld and dated from 1991. It's currently listed for over $18,000 with no bids, but several people watching. Liefeld even tweeted out that he wanted to buy it back early Friday morning.

lou_fine Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I wonder what this will go for. It caught Rob Liefeld's attention. What's Rob Liefeld doing now that he can't even afford to fork over a measly $18 grand for his own original artwork? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, for one, buying back what you sold for less, is generally against all capitalist principles . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewWorldOrder Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) I am sure this book went to a good home. The rest sold, but I did keep one of these just because. I thought 2 had a shot at CGC 9.9 and I went 1 for 2. I kept the copy that is a strong 9.8. So I am still in the NM 98 club.

HarveySwick Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I know I can find the answer with a little digging, but I'm admittedly being lazy. Which issue is THE issue to own after NM98? I know there is one writer I've seen mentioned that is credited with really giving life to the Deadpool that everyone knows today. Is it Nicieza and the Circle Chase?

Bosco685 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 'Incredible' is putting it lightly. This doesn't even include Japan yet (June 2016), and will have no China contribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
