Recently, many comic books from Marvel and DC haven't made it past 50 issues ye (or so I've seen so far). So, do you think there might be a series from either Marvel or DC that will run past 50 issues?
Will Marvel and DC ever have comics that run past 50 issues?
Maybe, I like that they have stopped trying to focus on big numbers, and now prefer smaller series to make it easier for new readers.
DC will. You think that they're suddenly going to stop printing Batman, Superman and JLA comics before they reach 50?
@rabbitearsblog: Unless there is something an important person at DC said that I'm unaware of, I think they could have a few (Batman, Detective Comics, Justice Leageue, etc) But as for Marvel, no I do not think they will. I read somewhere that Hickman's Avengers will end somewhere in the forties but I think that is as close Marvel will get.
In terms of creative teams only Batman has a real shot at 50 with same Writer/Artist. Justice League has also had the same writer for almost 50 issues.
Marvel almost no chance. I miss the old days of Ultimate Spidey, BMB/Bagley was a tough creative team to beat.
I agree about Marvel possibly not reaching up to 50 issues for their series since they are always constantly renumbering their books. I even think that once the major events for Marvel starts happening in 2015, they will probably cancel most of their current series to relaunch their titles if something major happens in 2015.
I think some of the bigger DC titles can make it (Justice League, Batman, etc) but I don't know if Marvel has enough patience for that.
On their best selling comics like Batman or Spider-Man eventually, but some of the smaller issues like She hulk or Klarion I don't think will make it past around 30ish issues.
Lol, She-Hulk's already booted out
@thedandyman: Yeah, I can see Superman and Batman running for awhile, although I'm not sure about Marvel doing the same.
DC has at least a dozen and possible a couple dozen nearing in on 50 as is. All of which have healthy sales.
Marvel's marketing strategy pretty much makes that a no, though.

Some 52-issues weekly series of DC like Futures End will. xD
DC's more popular books will. I laugh at the idea of Marvel making it into the 50's these days. Marvel loves renumbering which I find quite annoying. I look at books in the higher number range as having some type of quality and appeal.
DC definitely will. Batman, superman, wonder woman, flash, and all those really popular guys will go on until for years most likely. Unless theres a crisis event in 2015.
But I doubt marvel will. They reboot series for nono reason and they love to do big number ones.

Sums it up nicely.
