Pulled that right out of thin air, did ya?


The point was the MCU helps boost comic sales, often to only the short term.

Established character yes. But Rocket Racoon was not popular. I was one of the 2008 DnA GOTG readers. The #1 GOTG issue released to a lackluster debut, where the #1 issue placed around 60th place...

And that is why I went super conservative and said even 100K out of 300 is a GREAT for Rocket Racoon.

But my point never was how many RR #1s sold at the LCS, but why was it so damn popular at the...

Axel Alonso reported 100K of the 300K was loot crate. So the traditional sales number is 200K, but hell even 100K is an amazing number for RR.

First let's go to your original statement:



Now let's start with the first 2008 MCU film.

A sweeping baseless opinion. There has been plenty of quotes from Marvel corp that the MCU has helped comic sales in many areas. Look up old news cycles. And nothing demonstrates the power of the...

Logic is strong with this one! My LCS owner complains about this all the time. He has to recommend older trades and back issues all the time to satisfy what a new customer is looking for based on...

A lot of people scoffed at Bleeding Cool’s...

I believe when you think this through you will find that logic anything but sound. You're suggesting when Marvel acquired Star Wars, they didn't want to expand their marketshare and be more dominant...

The only reason to exclude Star Wars is to compare how Marvel Superhero titles and only Marvel Superhero have been selling since all the legacy / editorial changes. Star Wars was acquired in January...

When you passively try to dismiss the impact of Star Wars sales filling the gap of Marvel's superhero comic title sales slump by equating it to Scooby-Doo, I know I can't take you seriously.

To guage how the public is consuming Marvel Superhero comics specifically. That is the point. That is what most people are interested in here, and what side they land on in regards to being content...

My point was he or she saying all you have to do is just looking at dollar share was just too narrow. And my points remain valid. All of them must be taken into account.

Now looking into how...

Slightly moved?

Guardians of the Galaxy
Shipped ranking : 23
Dollar ranking : 64

You were saying?

It's not that simple.

First you have to guage how many titles sold. Look at it this way. If DC has one title that sells 100,000 copies... and Marvel has 3 titles that sell 120,000 COMBINED, you...

Lame indeed...

Even though he looks like Ross, is a General, has a big mustache, and turns into a Red Hulk, he's different!

At least when Smash was a rip of Hulk, they changed his color..
...

He said "This book just feels too formulaic and carefully marketed/balanced - this just feels so packaged and follow the recipe at this point".

Agree with it or not, finding "what the issue is"...

Of course you went there. You can't personally complain that the story is too formulaic or too heavy-handed or preachy or on the nose politically without somebody saying your real problem is with...

Exactly. Yet there are some that prefer to turn a blind eye to it, to outright dismiss the reporting of Bleeding Cool, simply because it doesn't support their narrative.



An age old question.

It seems to me you have a very sensible position. And it's refreshing.

Cheers!

Thanks. Interesting both countries speak English, yet there still is a language barrier. :) Sorry for any confusion.

Interesting. Thanks for the explanation.

First, they were half in liberal majorities.

Second. What does conservative have to do with people wanting legacy character's back? What's the common conservative trope? All racists? All against...
