Without a doubt, RoboCop was another smashing hit.

It was a testament to Creed Comics' strength and also another wave of appreciation to the elusive Alexander Creed that made it happen.

RoboCop was so much different but much more impactful to everyone who reflected on every issue on a much deeper level.

All the other Creed Comics titles were exciting and worth following on their own but RoboCop felt much more impactful than everything else.

Kids could still enjoy it for its exciting story development but the much deep-minded adults had a much profound reason for buying the story.

Of course, some much-simpler adults buy the story for the fun of it but its many mature elements have already appealed to their critical sides in one way or another.

On the Alex Murphy level, it is about a cop's battles against crime, family life, and on-the-job mishaps.

On the Omni Consumer Products' level, it is a battle against wit and corporate machinations. Also, the difference between ideological beliefs and just how far one can take things just to achieve their goals.

On the future societal level, it is the debate between technology, robots, being in between, and being caught up in it. There was no doubt that Detroit and OCP were just one little piece of the future world's map.

The sheer magnified effects of such a somewhat dystopianly futuristic livelihood when it reaches the global level could be imagined.

Would they be caught up in the battle of corporate giants or are they already caught up in it as of now?

Just the fact that corporations can buy an entire designated police department and planning to buy the entirety of Detroit sent shivers down their spines.

This was still the 1980s but everyone was already having a grim outlook on what could be and what is already present around them.

RoboCop was supposed to just be a simple comic book story meant to give enjoyment to whoever read them but a lot were given a reflection on what society is and a wake-up call on how ignorant they had been.

Of course, those extreme and well-crafted thoughts were better kept to themselves but RoboCop really gave many people a refreshed perspective on what a comic book could be.

It may just be wishful thinking but there was no doubt that many adults have had their minds changed about the medium of entertainment that they previously dismissed.

Robocop's story was deceptively impressive and wow-inducing to the kids but it became much more impressively enlightening when viewed from the perspective of adults.

It may not be as thought-provoking as Akira and Neon Genesis Evangelion but RoboCop still didn't fail in evoking the deep themes that it is hiddenly tackling.

This was one of Alexander's many intents in making the RoboCop story. Just as Akira and Evangelion awakened the Japanese and the world to what manga and anime could be, RoboCop was his mild tester to what could come next.

RoboCop was rated by CARS to the safe PG level that other Creed titles fall into but it also had a much more precise and implicit target towards rigid adults.

Its 'adult-orientation' didn't pertain to all the crimes and unsavory adult actions but much more to compelling adults to the hidden potential that the comic medium could be.

Of course, everything wasn't about the deep and artistic potential that comic books could have but it was more about the widening of the ages and demographic that Creed Comics could tap into.

With some of the adults and parents on board, the social and cultural encroachment of comic books didn't have to wait until the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Awareness and integration could be done just in 1984 already and just expand from that.

The Creed brand would be supplemented from there and onward, makings its future franchises much impactful and translating into an influential power that Disney has on society.

It would seem Alexander's first step towards that goal was achieved and he was quite thankful that he noticed the societal influx of comic readers by being in school

Through that timely observation, the limited single issues quota was amped up to the scary 300,000s.

The fact that all of it is being sold out meant that the entire comic book industry may have just found its unexpected boom.

5 RoboCop issues along with the 3 pre-existing and scheduled titles totaled to 8. With 300,000 copies each and on its way to being sold out as the days' pass, 2.4 million issues was the new sales record that Creed Comics would hope to surpass again.

Even though every person may just be buying all 8 and more for one household, 300,000 people were still an achievement that could not be denied.

Considering that Creed Comic titles usually sell out within a week or two and every week pertains to new issue releases, the monthly buyers that the market has to accommodate have truly reached a high that they may not have expected.

It would come as no surprise that comic book stores would become a traffic hotspot this September and the following months.

Maybe even the store owners and industry professionals have never imagined such an unexpected influx.

Even Alexander, who was planning on driving the RoboCop sales with the October Terminator release, found out that James Cameron may have to be the one to thank him instead.

How could he have thought that September was already set for RoboCop itself when he was just starting to plunder it? All the 4 titles he already introduced may have just been too abnormal in their amplificative coordination.

Their unexpected effects sped up a lot of things but it was all for the better of the plans that Alexander has for the future.

Now, RoboCop would not be the Terminator trend follower as RoboCop started a trend of its own.

Overall, RoboCop was just good news all-around, and the jangly fate that its original run had, was now rectified.

Maybe even the un-remembered original creators hadn't had a clue as to how a much impressive and thought-provoking story similar to theirs has wowed the market.

Even if they want to complain and join in on the action, Mr. Legalities, and all the baffling copyright and trademark protection initiatives that his little boss has tasked him, would probably stump their attempts to no avail.

Alexander was pretty much smiling generously from time to time whenever he was required to be in school

Whenever he remembered the reports that Miss Marker has sent to him about what has been happening through her research of the survey results, Alexander was greatly satisfied with all of it.

Still, he paid no mind to how his rare and handsome smiles were affecting his classmates. However, girls can't help but blush for reasons unknown to them.

Of course, the boys didn't know what was happening and assumed that girls had a red-coloring fever that was triggered by the usually no-expressions Creed giving them a happy expression.

All the while Mrs. Montgomery was thinking about the autographs for all the pending new comic books she has at home.
