I'm a lover of Bronze age and early copper. Probably because it was what I grew up reading. Highlights were mostly the same as other posts like the Claremont Byrne run of X-men, but I also enjoyed the Perez Avengers run, the Bob Layton Iron man run, The Roger Stern and Romita's Spiderman run, and there were even DC titles with great storylines like The New Teen Titans Perez run, which I really enjoyed. It was arguably the best DC title written at the time. Alan Moore's Swamp Thing, Keith Giffen's Legion of SH and of course the Batman/Detective connecting stories were also fun reads. I'm so lucky to still have all those books after all these years.

"I was so embarrassed that I didn't recognize the person." You shouldn't be embarrassed. Maybe his hair was a different color and I assume he/she/they wasn't wearing makeup the first time you met. I have met co-workers on the street who didn't recognize me because I wasn't wearing my uniform. "We discussed several things about being trans (besides movies, crazy stuff in La La Land) and I'll admit, I mixed up pronouns several times. They didn't care because I viewed them as a person." Well, you were kind enough to buy him/her/they/ dinner. "How many of the people who call others out for using the wrong pronoun would even stop to talk to a trans/gender fluid person? They just want to virtue signal." Thats true, but if they don't call out others, people might confuse them as Voldemort's and they could lose their friends and maybe even their job. "As to Ezra Miller, I hope he gets the help he needs, and that has nothing to do with being gender fluid. It's the anger issues that are having violent manifestations" Whew! That was a close one. I am glad you clarified that.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It's a definite possibility. But it's the only way I have been able to cut the "clutter" from the search list.

The best thing that has worked for me is to add the year of publication. For example "defenders 5" 1972.

Heavy Metal put together an illustrated adaption of "Alien", but it's hardly ever discussed. I guess only a handful of people ever bought it.

It's your call. How often do coverless copies hit the market? I would try to wait for a book with less damage. But then again, what if it takes me 5 years to grab another copy I can afford?

Danger Girl 1 from 1998.

And Now Hulk can fly!

I picked up the Fear State Omega two weeks ago at my Walmart. Interesting that you are just now getting them at your store. To avoid disappointment, I have not opened mine yet.

Horse without wings to Horse with wings!

I wonder if the summer heat could be contributing to the problem...I mean the occurrence.

If a lot of humidity was used during the press it is possible that minor waviness can occur if not enough heat is used to evaporate it away.

You might try to remove them yourself. There are "how to" videos you can find but be patient, or you can crack your case.

Who is paying shipping to have them sent back and returned?

I buy books that I want to add to my collection. I don't buy books based on the census.

CGC doesn't limit its service to key books. Marvel alone has 4,903 titles going back 80+ years. Some people will break out a comic and re-send. I'm not really concerned about it.

1.8??? But I had that book cleaned and pressed!

I will need to see Neals dental records before I make a decision.

Let me flip a coin. Tails! You will get white pages! P.S. yeah, I agree with the grade listed above.

As is I would say 8.0. After press 9.2/9.4

NIAGRA FALLS!! Slowly I turned ...step by step...inch by inch...

This fourth season has been up and down for me. The same plot devices are used every season and sometimes I feel like I'm watching a remake of season three. But when its good it is really amazing! Episode seven was probably the best episode of the entire series.

I would assume a two-point drop. If it happens to grade 8.5 , break out a beer and celebrate.

Smashed flies.

I would guess that 50% of those books are modern independent schlock.
