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


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

@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.

@robertliefeld Show me one person who ever bought a dare devil comic.

@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.


@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 Did Titans sell more than X-Men at that time?



@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

@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.



@robertliefeld Sony gets the movie profits but Marvel gets the merchandise profits

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

@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.
