clearly, the best place on the internet to buy invincible back issues is from me
I got anything/everything you need that is invincible-related...at cheaper-than-ebay prices as well (thumbs u
send me a PM and we'll talk
Phi has excessive amounts of invincible, who'd have thunk it?
On a complete side note what's a non LE raw #1 floating around for these days phi?

I'm posting here as opposed to a buying forum because I figure you all would know best. Where is the best place to find individual back issues (1-20) at reasonable prices? I'm trying to do a run, but slowly because its not really high on my list right now, and I have issues #1 and #2. I'm looking to pickup #3 this month, maybe #4 next month, just take it easy until I get to ones that are closer to cover price.
I've checked like a dozen online shops, and are pretty thin in the 1-20 issue range. Even ebay really doesn't have a lot of individual issues, and I don't feel like piecing together lots and ending up with a lot of duplicates either. It's probably cheaper in the longrun just to buy the whole collection at once, but those prices are like 200+ on ebay.
Thanks!
It depends really on what condition the books are in for the full lot. If #1 is NM and the rest are just as good, I personally would pay 200 for the lot, its convenient and good condition. I pieced mine together quickly. I looked for what was in ebay sellers store, picked the lowest price at NM quality and bought as much as they had so I could combine shipping. If you buy from a bunch of different sellers your going to get killed with shipping costs.
That's pretty decent, $4ish a book for 50+books, heck just put aside 20-30 bucks a month and buy the whole set at xmas and individuals till then? :shrug: then again if it's not that high on your list i've got nothing but ebay as a suggestion so i'm useless.

The cover is great. I however can't believe that they didn't include the Rathburn back covers. If the trash sketches they put in there are suposed to make up for that, they don't. I feel like I got ripped off. If I can resell it on eBay without taking a loss then I'll be dumping my copy. I sure as chit won't be buying the next one.
I Loved those back covers.
Plus it was a pleasant surprise to buy a book that didn't have a 'got milk' spiderman/hulk/ironman/juggernaut?:shrug: on the back (or an ad for some crappy coupe.)
-
Take it or leave you heard it here first: I'm predicting cat dude, you know oh what'sis name he's only been in two books....
Just as a quick wonder, just how many covers DO you have easy?
And on an entirely other note, if i'm not being rude to ask - what they set you back per piece on roughestimate?
And as you seem to be in the know, how you source your pieces, i'm really liking the multi invincibles from the other dimension panels...
Edit: secretly i'm hoping the character flying in is moustached invincible
oh man what i'd do for a story arc of him kicking some :
: -
I love Lily Renee, but what's up with Senorita Rio's sword arm, shoulder and bosom?
She has a stump for a right hand with a sword secured to it? :shrug:
And it grows out of her lower neck... :
:Neat cover up of her left leg, though does make me wonder how her thighs go from that position to her left foot in that position....knees bend the other way?
-
I LOVED the second last page of many invincibles. Adored the moustached viltrumite invincible! Was great to see all the prelim sketches/designs from the collection put into the comic!
-
If I had that book I'd sell it in a minute, buy a 9.8, and add alot of other key books to my collection...
Too much handling, too many hands - it's physically impossible.
I like to think that every book sent is a 10.0 and that only cgc's handling bumps it down. I apply this logic to all books, golden age and up.
I echo the sentiments on selling this bad boy. Hell, i'd make it a private sale and keep my 15% consignment fee...
-
I had a feeling that answer was coming.
That is just an amazing accomplishment coming into a Hulk 181 CGC 9.9 and wondering which country to purchase with it.
Heh, i don't know what i'd do if i stumbled into that. Kind of crazy to think that a $3 comic book can be worth so much.......
-
The human torch one.... where he's flying around the city. The proportions are so off he's the size of a skyscraper...
Still, it's great to see a cover where a man is bigger than a plane and his bicep is bigger than the man right next to him's head..

So i was flipping through invincible ( or it might have been walking dead) and i was reading that Kurt got turned into a partner at image eh?
Anyone else think this might just have something to do with the fact that he's got 2 (and wolfman is gaining?) popular, self made comic books that have only done wonders for the image comic book company.
Who is this Kurt person? Invincible/Walking Dead/Astounding Wolfman/Brit writer/creator Robert Kirkman was just made an Image partner last summer -- it absolutely had to do with (a) keeping him at Image because (b) he's their best selling creator. Collections of his work are always topping the sales charts. They want him to bring the same "buzz" to the rest of the Image line so he's writing their big summer crossover.
*doh , i may have had a moment of crazy and confused myself but hey :shrug:
*Ahh yes i see now it really is quite important for image to keep him around what with all the good he's doing for them both with books and buzz "lately". I haven't picked up Brit myself as it just didn't appeal to me in what limited crossovers/covers i've seen in his other books, but if that's going well too then by all means image throw money at this man!
As for the OA invincible covers, that people can manage to keep invincible paraphernalia out of phi's hands is impressive :thumbsup:

Also phi - you have too many cgc'd invincibles(sweet #55 - love any cover with a viltrumite on it!)
leave some for the rest of the world eh?P.s. Got any OA?

Well, the way i looked at it was kinda the same way i looked at twoface in 'the dark knight'.
Essentially in the dark knight, some bad things happen and all it takes is a quick chat with the joker and he's suddenly no longer the by the book good guy he has always been and he's off to kill people.
Angstrom went and was trying to get all his friends together so he'd be able to travel around the universes and not transport into a nuke going off. Invincible comes in fighting the bad guys, levy injures himself, and suddenly he's a psychotic killer bent on messing up him and his entire family.... it was just too quick a change.
I liked the whole little story arc there ( and i'm a sucker for time travel) but i just didn't think he's got much depth to him.... and while that's great for my mindless psychopath killer, not so much for my semi-genius now suddenly turned psychokiller...
Spoiler: and i wish he'd just stayed dead, bringing him back just absolves invincible of having murdered someone in mildy chilly blood
oops just noticed you let that cat out of the bag...though i'm sure we all thought it was coming sooner or later...
-
Really? you *liked* angstrom levy? I didn't like his character at all. To me his character development was sorta like twoface in batman(movie) - i'll just flip to the other side for no apparent reason. Liked the story arc, did NOT like him.
-
sounds like a plan, is black terror any good, I checked it out at my LCS on friday but didnt go with it.
i liked the first two issues alot....i mean, c'mon..who doesn't want to see black terror ride a bomb into the white house (issue #2)
i like it better than project superpowers (which i liked alot)...
Is this a COVER of him riding a bomb?... I'm always on the look out for people riding bomb like things into the ground covers

I just finished issue 51, all i can say about the new threads are 'ihateitihateitihateitihateitihateitihateit' If the story didn't grab me so hard, i would have dropped this series then and there, it hurts me to look at the new outfit, but only an OUNCE of what it hurts me to look at his 'sidekick'. damn it!
now to finish 52 - 56 in front of me and try not to hate so much.
read 52 and you'll want to delete this post
52 was my favorite issue since 29...and i think oliver (mark's brother) is awesome!! well...at least i thought this after reading #52..
read #52 - 56, my disposition has changed, slightly. While i do like his methods, I still hate looking at the sidekick, if he could just change his damned outfit , UGH. I love the prison clothes on Allen and Omniman, very nice. The jury is still out on the "invincithreads."
Seriously, i cant believe ANYONE (who isn't colour blind) to like that red yellow purple mess of a sidekick...
I should note that, while i may hate with a passion one part of this comic, i love the story lines, issues and everything that has come attached to invincible.

This series to me really seems to be getting a 'word of mouth' marketing push behind it eh? My favourite part is i can read JUST invincible, and i know everything that's going on, not 15 other tie ins and universe altering junk *bleargh*
-
...
Anyone have a synopsis of the top 5 most difficult UHG 100 Page Bronze Giants?
Or for that matter a List?

*pictures of some shweet shazam 100 pagers*
I hate you so much.
I'm so jealous. You don't really want that #8 do you? Edit: not happy i missed out on my Shazam #1 9.8 for $60 US because i was unable to get to a computer, more so annoyed when two copies are on comiclink and have just sold spooning spoon spoon spoon.

Saw this 9.8 SS #1 the other day- was delayed out of town so couldn't get to a computer to bid... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=130274967938
now seeing this one:
should i be kicking myself?
-
I have just started reading the new GL (v4)? And i'm up to 35. I have to say, i am really falling in love with the old GL's and these covers are some shweet old time action!
-
The Bills suck monkey balls... Yes, Yes they do.............
THIS IS EVERYWHERE on this forum? - The hell!?
oh man what i'd do for a story arc of him kicking some :

GAH! That puts it mildly out of my price range
I was hoping for the $100-200 range.
