《Alexander Creed: Re-Life》Chapter 50: Welcomed Disruptions
Advertisement
Alarmed as the pirated people had been, there were more particular and special groups that has already called out their best to deal with the upsurge of comic book buyers.
They found out that Creed Comics wasn't just showcasing excellent sales week after week but had also helped in growing consumers.
Comic book stores and other retailers already noticed the surge in visitors that they were having.
Traffic is better than ever which complementary developed the industry as a whole.
From the 20 or so nerds that have been regular vultures peeking in the displays, the number doubled with parents and curious hip teens asking about the popular Creed label of stories.
Monkey-tailed Goku was starting out to become a common topic alongside sewer-living ninja turtles and grand catfolk.
For the parents, they mostly had to make the trip because their children were jealous of this one classmate having a cool-looking comic book.
For the hip teens, they had probably bullied the nerds and were intrigued by what they confiscated in the nerd's belongings.
Of course, the somewhat high-profile reportings on various media for the past couple of weeks helped bolster this upsurge of store visitors.
Creed Comics had their ways of storytelling and manufacturing that seem to have lured these newcomers into buying their issues.
Other comic book publishers were getting benefits as well because of their numerosity compared to the still limited Creed comic titles.
As much as these comic book newcomers were curious about the talk of comic society, they also had their attention grabbed by some superhero titles that they grew up with.
It was a win-win on many sides but some still had plans of their own especially the Big Two who were coping and readying for these market disruptions.
------
Marvel Comics Headquarters.
Jim Shooter was reading up on the competition's titles and issues and had to commend its unusual refreshingness to everything it has done.

New cover convention, better printing strategy, chapter-like issues, surprising weekly releases, adventure-laden stories, and grand set-ups that build anticipation for the next issues.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles should follow the usual superhero comic format with bad guys every other issue to deal with but something tells him that the creator had other plans in mind.
Jim had always been an advocate for straightforward and concrete storylines and he could tell that the Ninja Turtles shouldn't follow the mess of Marvel heroes.
The chapter-like pacing of Dragonball and the newly released ThunderCats tells him that the Turtles would have a satisfying continuity that he always hopes for superheroes.
"It looks like I have to hurry with implementing Marvel hero assemblies and perfected continuity." After reading up on the newcomer, Jim's ambition for the tentatively named Secret Wars issues was empowered.
As for his competitive attack against the uprising competitor, that may just have to wait until the company has stabilized.
Marvel is still coping with the influx of sales that was due to the Creed comic trends and they had to give courtesy to that unexpected benefit.
Also, the company has just been attacked by monopoly claims that need to be taken care of.
Marvel Comics has been ill at ease in its being market leader for all these years that it hasn't been able to buckle itself with all the unexpected disruptions to their dominance.
While Stan Lee is still busy in Hollywood with comic book movies, the comic book publishing team left behind has to prove to the disruptions that they are as stable as ever.
-----
As for Detective Comics, they had been second place all this while and were even readying themselves to outsource their comic-making to Marvel.
Contrary to popular belief where DC was being sold off to Marvel and Marvel stupidly declined because DC heroes just weren't good enough, the truth was too far from that at all.

The entire DC wasn't selling itself to Marvel but was just giving the authorization for Marvel to take over the comic book publishing business.
The deal for Marvel to make DC hero titles was already underway and everyone was somewhat satisfied. Unfortunately, Marvel had to bail on the agreement as the aforementioned monopoly troubles popped up.
DC was now troubled with their low market performance and the failed authorization deal so keeping tabs with the rising Creed Comics was all that they could do for now.
It would also seem that DC employees were empowered by the Marvel-DC venture being stopped and wanted to prove their worth despite their past abysmal performance.
Dominant Marvel Comics or the newbie Creed Comics, DCers will show these competitors their fangs.
In addition to this, these comic book people also had to prove their worth to their parent company called Warner Bros. about how they should be allocating their importance to their capabilities.
A small and new company like Creed Comics has done better and achieved success, so why can't senior insiders like them surpass that?
Although they were failing in the already small market of comic books, they had to change that perception one way or another.
-------
Overall, the Big Two was somewhat welcoming of their new market companion because it brought some little bits of benefits and they were also caught up in their own problems to really employ their crushing means.
As much as Creed Comics had dominated the niche market of comics and relatively comic big companies were turning their gears, Alexander's life went on as usual.
The company was going well but it was unfortunate that his 50 comic-making employees still weren't able to keep up with his developments.
Five days of comic booking while schooling, Saturday little boss duties, and Sunday free time to comic book some more.
No matter attempts to leave excuses that the Creeds have made still weren't answered, so the schooling status quo was still kept.
It had become a routine that his focus and goal had become one-tracked and progressive.
As progressive and scarily-focuses he was, his employees were barely getting used to it and adjusting to the pressure of being reminded of the fact that they may not be able to keep up.
Sullivan, who was keeping tabs of everything from afar, could only give his silent cheer for these employees who foolishly thought that his grandson could easily be adjusted to.
The old man was incredibly thankful that he diverted Alexander into their hands. If his old bones were to handle the fact that someone is super-productive and you can't keep up, then he could only be in distress.
If Alexander's ultra-productive attention was still on storybooks that are viable for movie adaptations, then he could only give up.
It all went well in the end as Alexander's productive vent was successful while also training the boy with business management and even earning unexpected profits that seem to have been expected by experts to balloon as new issues would be released weekly.
