Deadpool movie confirmed for February 2016... Maybe my obsessive collecting of Deadpool comics will finally be fruitful. I don't have the first one but I have a lot of weird ones, been collecting since high school before there was any notion of him being in a movie. And especially considering Ryan Reynolds is perfect for the character, I think I could make some decent cash in the next few years.

So did a lot of people in the '90's, it didn't work out for them.

Yeah, pretty much any non-Golden or Silver Age comic book (40s to 70s) is probably worth about as much as the paper it was printed on (if you're lucky). And those are mainly valuable because there just aren't that many comic books left from the first few decades of the industry: they were printed on cheap paper that didn't last, and also many comic books just got thrown out since collecting wasn't really a thing until later. Action Comics #1 isn't valuable because it's the first appearance of Superman, it's valuable mostly because there are almost none in existence.

I don't mean millionaire acres cash, I mean more than what I paid.

Deadpool is a nineties character, and any character that young isn't going to have books worth anything. You can probably find them being sold on eBay for pocket change.

Idk man. I was doing some quick research earlier and some deadpool stuff goes for near a hundred.

Maybe I'm wrong, but pricing guides for comics should be taken with a grain of salt. They said much the same things back in the nineties, and there was god knows how many people buying up comics to sell when the price went up. But since so many people were buying them, the companies flooded the market, and all the comics that the price guides said were worth money became basically worthless, because there were so many of them out there. From what I hear, the same kind of thing is starting to happen again.

Oh, that movie. That wasn't Deadpool. That was a disgrace.

The last X-Men movie, Days of Future Past, basically got rid of all the continuity of the previous movies with the whole time travel thing, so they can do what they want. They're also gonna relaunch X-Men.
