When will the New Mutants 98 bubble burst? 1 1

[ComicConnoisseur]

All good arguments,but we are missing the point that Deadpool is a brand now like Batman!

Just about every collector wants Detective Comics #27 and Batman #1,and as the years go by they will all want New Mutants #98 and Deadpool #1.

Deadpool is in the Superman,Batman,Spider-Man and Wolverine club now,and to resist it is futile.

I heard the same talk about the Walking Dead,but here we are 13 years later waiting for the Walking Dead bubble to burst!

 

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.

 

He is in the club now.

The Deadpool movie just passed the last Spider-Man movie domestically, and destroyed the two Wolverine movies at the box office.

Deadpool is going up,while the others other than Batman are going down.

Similar to The Walking Dead is more popular than George Romero`s Night of the Living Dead now.

The new generation loves this character Deadpool just like they love the Walking Dead.

Deadpool is a rising ship.

Wait until Deadpool 2.

 

 

 

This is ludicrous and doesn't even deserve a reasonable response.

 

Sorry, but you are living in crazy town of you really believe this.

The naysayers said the same thing about The Walking Dead, and we know how that turned out.

Just because they are both comic books doesn't mean you are making a logical or reasonable comparison.

 

WD1 values have been flat for two years even though the show is at its "highest popularity..."

To most people Deadpool and Harley are new and exciting characters.

You don`t have to go back 40 to 80 years to learn their history.

The other characters you mentioned are getting long in the tooth.

It is what it is.

People like Deadpool and Harley because they seem like a fresh and different take on superheroes,and not the same old stuff we seen a thousand times.

Also they fit in quite well with the videogame crowd which is a huge plus!

There should be a rule about referencing Walking Dead #1's popularity to enforce a claim about some other brand's rising popularity.

 

Walking Dead's whole "thing" is that it's the exception.

Hey, that isn't fair or accurate.

 

I fully support someone's desire to collect any comic. However, when discussing the long-term potential value of a comic I am entitled to my opinion and to provide perspective outside pure enthusiasm for a character.

 

Your comment is neither accurate or helpful, it is inflationary and unnecessary.

[ProcessedMeatMan]

Wait until The Walking Dead is finally cancelled. Those issues will drop eventually.

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.

All good arguments,but we are missing the point that Deadpool is a brand now like Batman!

Just about every collector wants Detective Comics #27 and Batman #1,and as the years go by they will all want New Mutants #98 and Deadpool #1.

Deadpool is in the Superman,Batman,Spider-Man and Wolverine club now,and to resist it is futile.

I heard the same talk about the Walking Dead,but here we are 13 years later waiting for the Walking Dead bubble to burst!

 

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?

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.
