As Deadpool’s 1st appearance continues to be reprinted, here’s a look at the letters page in New Mutants #100 that reflects fans immediate love and affection for Wade! It was all there from the beginning! #deadpool

Daredevil outsold X-Men during Miller time. DD was Marvel’s top seller during that time. If you wanted to beat em you had to outsell DD. History is your friend.

@robertliefeld I didn't know that Titans' competition was Daredevil. 😮 I always thought that Claremont's Uncanny X-Men was the competition back then.

Sure. After deductions. Sony controls screens, market share, majority of profits. For the lucrative lifetime of the film. So yourself a favor, listen to the podcasts with the Sony Bosses that Feige works for.

@robertliefeld Marvel gets 25% of the movie. It’s a Marvel Studios production.

The only point I made was about the comic not being well known. It was not. You morphed the point into something else completely.
Muad’Dave@dlbags

@robertliefeld Again my point was that good books and stories don’t always equal sales especially right away. Tf are we even arguing about semantics when that’s the point? Fans catch on late or second life in trade paperbacks. Or even as shows. The stories have to be there regardless of sales.

Love that you missed Frank Miller taking DD from zero to hero. Greatest comic book turnaround of all time.

Within 2 years. Geez, man, stick with facts.
Muad’Dave@dlbags

@hadeskabir @DaveTho55529017 @robertliefeld It didn’t start that way. They took over in 1980 and after a slow burn by 1984 they were huge culminating with Judas Contract. But it didn’t happen immediately. Also fine if I’m wrong about that the point stands and animal man and sandman both make the point.

Man, you need to step off with all your nonsense. Don’t contradict the guy who made the book. Stop making shit up. His words, 1 month back. Comics Pro. Low sales plagued it throughout.

Mr Worry😬@poormrworry

@ramjamblin @robertliefeld He said it ended because he didn’t want to write it anymore and when he asked if anyone else at image wanted to they said no so he wrote an ending quickly that he has said

@robertliefeld I thought 20-30,000 sales monthly was pretty good for an indie book at the time, guess not

The author will dispute you and has said so publicly. Why do you need to push a false narrative?
Callum@cxzcomicz

@robertliefeld Well it was low selling at the beginning, not all the way through so this is a bit of an exaggeration but still makes the same point

Pure nonsense. Titans was the top selling comic in the entire industry. Thor surged. Stop serving the garbage.
Muad’Dave@dlbags

@robertliefeld Sales doesn’t always equal quality. Remember the Sandman first 30 or Morrison Animal Man? Walt Simonson’s Thor run. Teen Titans Wolfman/Perez stuff were all stuff fans of those books insisted their fans read then took off in the used market.

No, Marvel invests for financing and gets what amounts to less than 10% of the box office. This is just box office not PVOD, rentals and licenses to Netflix.

A comic that sold even worse than Invincible, another great example of content breaking thru despite no recognition to the masses.
john@keid811

@ledheavy7 @robertliefeld the boys were pretty popular on amazon maybe they saw an evil omniman as akin to homelander

This is 1000% not true. To quote Robert himself, why do you think those last few years of comics are so hard to obtain? Because there are so few of them. Same speech he said he offset losses thru other means. This is public knowledge. Stop guessing and get facts,
Horacio H. Poggi@PoggiHoracio

@Shogunmb @robertliefeld I think it was only at the beginning, for the first 20 pr so issues. The rest the of comic probably had much better sales. Or else it makes no sense it had 140 issues.
