I've given away around 50 issue #1 - 3rd prints. Got them cheap from Diamonds clearance list, done around 40 copies of the TPB off the back of that

Why? I thought Season 3 was great but the finale was limp. Not picking on you, but I meant to ask this earlier and forgot. For people that thought the episode sucked, what would have made it "great"? It was IMO just too forced & trying to cram so much into one episode. The Governer bit was almost as if they realised they didn't have enough time for the plot they wanted to use so just changed it and . They were trying to fit in Andreas story, The Governors story, Ricks group story, the people left at Woodburys story, trying to show how hardened / evil Carl has become. It was just too much for one episode. On top of that when the Governor and to actually answer your question... "what would have made it "great"?" anything apart from what they showed Here's the thing, the show is its own entity, separate and distinct from the books. It took Lori dying the way she did and the way they did it for me to personally let go of the comics as some sort of blueprint for the show and to let my expectations for the series go and to give what the show creators are doing a chance as its own distinct narrative. It's sort of an alternate WD universe. The people are there but the story is going to be its own and each slight change alters that universe more and more. They used the books as a jumping off point to tell their own story and to have their own themes running through them. In season 3 the theme was about "doing it alone" vs. "needing to work and live together". The push/pull of those two ideas...of trust vs distance...ran like a thread through every episode and that's what was tied together and wrapped up at season's end. The people producing this show aren't looking at the books and saying "we have to end on issue #33 or #42 or #48" they are putting together believable human drama and examining, in excruciating detail, what human beings go through internally and externally in such circumstances. The zombies and the end of the world are simply a staging point for a larger morality play. That morality play is what makes the Walking Dead compelling. It's not specific plot points or that a character lives or dies, it's what those characters live or die FOR. Rick trusted no one, pushed everyone away, to his increasing detriment. The Governor kept only what he could use and destroyed everything else. Carl began to become more like the Governor. Andrea gave her life, in Rick's presence, trying to forward the idea of coming together, trusting, and not killing each other. We see Rick's epiphany through the prism of the sacrifices of Merle, Milton, and Andrea where he realized that "You can't do it alone." It's a powerful narrative, if you let it be, and if you don't enslave yourself to expectations of a comic book story that hasn't been relevant to the story lines of this show since season one. I don't see it as the comic book so not sure why you quoted me and then gave this

that was a mess! 4 different stories trying to fit into 45 minutes & the ending was WEAK beyond belief

The perfect buyer & unbelievably helpful when a favour was needed. Recommended every time (thumbs u

It's pointless, I've tried listing moderns that are heating up on ebay but the posts just get ignored. Then follows more drivel about who bought 50 copies of this & that, LCS owners are bad & blah blah

It's not an error variant. If anything, the image on the 1:10 variant is the error (but it's not) 01011 - 1st print 01021 - 1st print variant (2 is for 2nd cover) 01031 - 1st print 2nd variant (3 is for 3rd cover) as there were only 2 covers both covers are up variants

as usual, payment quicker than a quick thing on a quick day! Thanks

There are around 50 copies of this in Travelling Man (Leeds) 50p bin if any UK boardies need one?

phew, 81 new posts about nothing heating up on ebay

Go what way? Are you talking about sales or secondary prices? Batman & Robin #18 is out wednesday so not heating up yet, Worlds Finest #10, I'm getting 4 x cover for it

(thumbs u

Batman & Robin #18 (out this week) looks like it will go the way of Batman Inc #8 and Worlds Finest #10. Another Requiem issue, gone from Diamond UK 2 weeks ago & we've done triple sales on pre-orders. should this have been a super secret PM

www.CountingDownTo.com (thumbs u Can you get one that says "Countdown to Todd #3"?

it's already $8 a pop, can't see much in this one, it's just DC celebrating the 900th issue

easy sales at well above cover from the UK. Worlds Finest #10 Star Wars #1 - 1st & 2nd Prints Helheim #1 Sex #1 (dump em, it's awful) Injustice #1 Hellboy in Hell #1 Black Beetle #1, #2, #3 (if you can find them) Borderlands Origins #1, #2, #3 (if you can find a #2) Deadpool Killustrated #1 (may cool down now the 2nd print is out) Todd #1 & #2 Nowhere Men #1, #2, #3 (& #2 second print for some reason) What is disappointing is the few UK comic shops selling on Ebay on RELEASE DAY for 5 x cover on hot ticket items. "Bla Bla #7 - SOLD OUT - RARE" - 20 available. (It's not sold out, YOU have a shop & YOU still have stock on release day) over

Plenty of them in the FB in London today, its where I picked up mine My favourite cover of the Bedlam phantom variants so far meant the Leeds store mate, they never get any Forbidden Planet variants

Paper does that you know

OK comics in Leeds (UK) had the Phantom variant on their shelves today sent by Diamond. Forbidden Planet (exclusive UK supplier of Phantom variants) didn't get any.

Ken, any truth in this from a comics podcast site?? "We are joined by comics/tv/film writer Ken Kristensen for a very funny and candid interview about the Image ongoing comic book TODD THE UGLIEST KID ON EARTH "

what did you pay for the other 4? badum tish

That will be "the super-ultra-hyper-secret tips PM" Ghost variant? Ok, who's gonna start the "super-ultra-hyper-secret tips PM" Phantom variant
