This unexpected trend of things really surprised Alexander. He only knew that the sales of Volume Books were increasing and Creed Comics was slowly reaching the top spot of the comic market.

He just never knew that his comic book's market impact has already impacted society at this level.

If Alexander likened this school comic book hubbub to something, then it would probably be the Pokemon phenomenon. He was already in college or Silicon Valley at that point but he still knew how stirred society was when everybody wanted 'to catch'em all'.

Alexander did essentially gather together comic titles with their own social impacts during their original releases after all.

Dragonball, TMNT, ThunderCats, and The Cyvertronian Chronicles aka Transformers were staples of popular societies on their own. With a much heightened and semi-improved introduction to the new timeline, the leveling up of their societal staples can be imagined.

Dragonball was Americanized and was accepted by xenophobic society, TMNT did not start out as a shoddy comic print as it originally had been, the new ThunderCats was much more impressive and less cringy than the original, "Transformers" was lagging a bit compared to the others but its auto-transforming concept has already wowed all.

Those impactful franchises gathered together under one banner and somehow created an explosive effect that multiplied what has already been improved.

Alexander didn't even think that much about reaching that explosion point as he just thought that each of his powerful title releases would be influencing and enforcing each other.

As unexpected as the effect was, it necessarily wasn't a bad thing as Alexander quickly thought of adaptation strategies to expect these kinds of things better.

His 10,000 limited surveys clearly hadn't gotten a grasp on societal effects as it only reflected what 10,000 people wanted to convey towards their favorite comic book company.

There was no doubt that with this back-to-school discovery, the 10,000 three-fold surveys need upgrades to cater to the upsurge.

These minor school gatherings have already piqued the curiosity of everyone else who hadn't cared about comic books before and the entire Creed Comics may have to adjust to that.

An incoming wave and tsunami of unwitting costumer are about to come and Alexander would find it a waste if he wouldn't be able to make them his loyal fans.

As it turns out, returning to school wasn't entirely a bad thing as Alexander got clued in on such an important, explosive shift in the majority society's mentality towards the niche industry.

Perhaps it won't be a niche for long...

The big variable to the societal implosion that is happening is the fact that Creed Comics' next releases happen to be directed towards the adult demographic.

With waves of new parents wanting to buy what their kids want to not feel left out, a comic directed to the adult genre should somewhat appeal to them.

It is still a variable though as adults aren't exactly that receptive to things that they perceive as something for children.

Sure, these parents grew up with comic books and knew what it was like when the CCA hasn't baby-fied everything they knew but maturity tends to change people and be rigid on what they had already set their ways on.

Fortunately, they are still considered variables that are subject to observation and experimentation.

Creed Comics' already has a precedent of parents joining in on reading comic books as well, so being able to grab their attention was already a good start to things.

Having adults on board is better than having none. Then, all that was needed was to grow that adult market from there.

It was an incremental process that Alexander and Creed Comics' never failed to utilize.

A market-growing strategy that was already tried and tested, so earning more from comics that are specified for adults is set to be a guarantee.

Of course, everything has to be tested first and just in time for the back-to-school new comic releases.

It just so happens that the 'new adult-oriented comic title' was slotted and scheduled to be released just in time. September was a busy time for nerdy teens and visiting kids, so the parents were the ones that took it to themselves to buy for them.

Comic book stores always opened in time as usual as the release day was their peak with Creed Comics always snagging in a lot of buyers.

There is also the much-awaited weekly survey and popularity posters that never fail to draw in people that want their voices heard and want to appreciate the trend of their peers.

The Creed Survey train ensued as it has always had. Fans of other characters could only lament at the horniness of their nerd peers when they saw Bulma, April, and Charlie wearing the gold to bronze crowns respectively.

Dragonball was still the top title, the middle ones interchanging between the anthropomorphic turtles and cats, while the latecomer Cybertronian Chronicles was still shy of being on the top 3.

As the survey answering, poster admirations, and result lamentations ensued, people also flock to the Creed Comics corner and admire the displayed titles.

Just looking at the issue cover side by side always results in an aesthetically pleasing site that the crowd doesn't want to disturb.

Creed releases never fail to impress them. Even more so when the shoddily drawn and low-quality old prints of DC and Marvel are still ever-present in the stores to show the stark contrast.

There was also the library-esque display style of the stylish Volume Books that never failed to impress people that want such a display of their own.

It was unfortunate that they had their curious urge and buyers' habit to grab their own copies, so they had to disturb the pleasing display to ease those urges and habits.

It just so happen to be an abundant week of releases as well with Dragonball #14, ThunderCats #7, The Cybertronian Chronicles #5, and the much advertised RoboCop issues was debuting.

The high-numbered issues served as continuations to the story they've always sought conclusions and excitement from while the fresh RoboCop was the 5th story that they could marvel at.

To the Creed fan crowd's excitement, RoboCop was not a single-issue debut but a much generous serving from RoboCop #1: Future Detroit to RoboCop #5: Cyborg-ed.

"Haha! Finally, the mass release I've always requested for." A laughing man from the crowd rewarded himself after all the mass release requests he has always hounded for in the Creed survey's suggestions part.

The rest also joined in on the enthusiasm and grabbed all five successive RoboCop issues.

They read on and found that the story was unlike everything they've been used to but also cemented how diverse Alexander Creed is when it comes to storytelling and concepts.

The teens and childish nerds looked on at the innovative robotic designs while the conservative adults contemplated more on the mature tone that the story beheld.

Thus, Creed fans were introduced to the subversive world of RoboCop and the semi-hidden deep themes that it wishes to convey.
