The humble Watcher lurking

That was pretty good dialogue. Jack didn`t need Stan for dialogue. It`s becoming clearer and clearer that Stan needed Jack more.

I get a kick out of the response " Now Stan will NEVER let me put my name first!" I am pretty sure that`s not Jack answering back, but it`s most likely Stan?

I remember calling up the DC 1-900 Hotline for this to vote does Robin live or die? That was a pretty good story and caused a lot of controversy, as well as a lot of PR in the comic book community.

One of the best reads ever!

All good picks. I add Berserk to the list as well.

Here is a review of the first book. It`s really getting popular. Think of how the buzz was about The Walking Dead before it exploded into pop culture history. This manga also has an anime show that is just as popular.

Here is a popular Manga character right now. Sold over 25 million copies in the last few years. Marvel and DC would love those sales. https://comicbook.com/anime/news/chainsaw-man-manga-sales-tatsuki-fujimoto/ Chainsaw Man is on the rise. In the wake of season one, Tatsuki Fujimoto's hit franchise is thriving, and there is more to come. Anime fans are begging for more content, and when it comes to the Chainsaw Man manga, Denji is working through a new arc these days. And thanks to the series' success, Chainsaw Man has hit record. Sales with just 15 volumes to its name. The update comes from Chainsaw Man straight as the manga just released its 15th volume in Japan. A special ad was included in the volume overseas, and it confirms the manga's sales figures. There are currently 26 million copies of Chainsaw Man in circulation, so copies of the manga are flying off the shelves still.

The first three I liked. WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Loki Season 1. After that, it`s been all downhill. I used to get excited whenever a new Marvel Disney show or movie was announced. Now I am not feeling it. The bloom is off the rose.

I wonder with this new Daredevil news if it does make the January 2025 date?

One of my favorites.

I wonder if Wally Wood's estate ever got paid later for designing the iconic red Daredevil costume? It's night and day better than the yellow costume. I think Stan really pulled a fast one on Wally Wood not only getting Wally Wood to plot the stories, but getting the iconic red Daredevil iconic costume for pennies on the dollar. Daredevil in the red costume has made Marvel multi- millions.

Movies as well. Compare the early 1960's movies to mid- 1960's movies like Rosemary's Baby, Planet of the Apes(1968) and 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Can't wait for this. The only reason why I still subscribe to Disney Plus.

I wonder how HBO Max and Disney Plus will compete with Pluto TV, Freevee, and Tubi going forward? All of them are free streaming services and at any time can watch some good stuff like Star Trek:Next Generation, Mission Impossible ,Perry Mason, Classic Doctor Who, The Joy of Painting, Johnny Carson, Columbo,X-Files, Twilight Zone,Three Stooges, Dark Shadows , Godzilla and thousands of other options of movies and shows to watch. . I don't see how Disney Plus and HBO Max will be able to compete when the word is out about how easy accessible Pluto TV , Freevee and Tubi are. Can't beat free.

Just about every collectible market has dropped since 2021. Rolex watches, vintage guitars, sports cards, Star Wars action figures, video games, Lego, and comic books. I honestly can't think of one that hasn't. Good time to be a buyer.

My favorite comic book channel on YouTube chimes in on the subject of what is wrong with the modern big 2 Marvel and DC.

Outstanding thread . Very informative.

Brendan Weathers @BrendanWeathers I can't remember the last time a show THIS good got canceled. Netflix viewers are used to their B Minus- shows suddenly vanishing but #WinningTime had an insane cast, kinetic direction, and the most stylish editing in the game. I don't even like sports and I LOVED this show.

Robert Kirkman of The Walking Dead reacts Robert Kirkman @RobertKirkman WINNING TIME was the best show on TV this year. By far. Not even close. Hardest cancellation in recent years. Throwing tomatoes in @HBO ‘s direction. 11:06 PM · Sep 17, 2023 · 124.4K Views

I wonder if there will be any AI grading of collectibles? I could see sports cards and coins because they have to just scan just 2 sides, but for comic books, it might be a challenge to open up the comic and look at every page, plus count pages.

I expect this movie does big box office like Barbie. Lady Ga Ga is a awesome performer. This will be a huge hit. Joker is considered cool ip. It would take extraordinary circumstances for this movie to flop. We shall see. Lol.

I am taking up some online courses in learning this stuff, so far it's been fascinating. Teaching me about writing books, music and comics. Imagine if a great writer like Alan Moore or Stephen King uses AI to draw their own comic books? Crazy.
