If she moves like lightning and does a bunch of acrobatic moves I may agree. However, a katana, in the hands of someone with even a HS level fencing background is pretty damn believable as a light weight and effective decapitation weapon against a slow moving target. I think most folks with a small amount of training could handle several of the walkers from this universe without straining believability any more than Carl, who had not taken but a couple of shot in his life nailing a headshot from 15 yards out, or Herschel and his magic shotgun. "Hershel and his magic shotgun." Isn't that the wildly unpopular children's book sequel to "James and the Giant Peach?"

Yeah, I'm seeing that else where as well. People are saying it's going to ruin the show etc I've read the comic and watch the show. I'm sorry, but I agree that she has the potential for losing a large potion of the TV audience. I think that the wider (than comics) TV audience enjoys the human side of the story lines, and thinking about how things might actually happen (once you suspend your disbelief about the zombie apocalypse in the first place) -- regular people trying to survive and what that might look like. Rick is "believable." Shane was "believable." Tyreese with his hammer in the comics was "believable." Comic book Michonne isn't. For the TV show, whether she is good or bad depends on what they do with her. I don't think the TV audience wants to watch a sword-wielding "ninja" with her zombies. I don't. That being said, she looked cool. I think many people are jumping the gun on this... We saw her in the now iconic pose with both zombies behind her in chains. They did an origin story in Playboy to briefly explain this and it made sense in the reality of zombies walking the earth I highly doubt she will go all 'snake eyes' in the show. For those reading the series, she is a strong female character and knows how to fence which has served her well with a sword. Again, if hammers and knifes seem to work as well as shovels, why not believe someone can use a sword? Crossbows seems to be working very well for Daryl, so I think Michonne will be very well represented in the series. I applaud them for showing us Michonne with a nod to the comic series and can't wait to see The Governor and the prison also! I haven't read the Playboy back story but I agree that she could work. "Could" being the opeartive word. I am withholding judgment, just stating that I fully understand the public's mixed reaction to her appearance. If they decide to make her someone who finds that a sword works well for killing zombies without attracting attention (like the crossbow, shovels, etc.) then fine. But the comic book, Michonne? The "Tonight, appearing at the Thunderdome, the Governor is proud to present Ninja Michonne versus the Zombies" ? ... Fonzie is wearing the jacket and skis and heading for the shark...

Given that only 9 or 10 copies exist, the interesting back story of MPFW and its discovery, and the first appearance of Submariner, I think this book is undervalued at all grades. I think your deal was great.

You must be new. This is, of course, at his own peril. Funny. I'm new, but it doesn't take long to learn that lesson.

There is nothing wrong with a lawyer bringing this up publicly, as long as the client does not care. It happens all of the time. In this case, there are good reasons to make it public, not the least of which is to keep us all informed about who we are dealing with. I, for one, would be hesitant to consign books through Greg given this information. If he breached an agreement with QC, who is to say he wouldn't with me on a consignment? Mark is serving his client AND the community by letting us know all of this. Greg is, of course, free to defend himself on the Boards if he choses to do so. And, yes, you absolutely can have a contract that is not in writing. You prove it by testimony of what the agreement provided, as well as evidence of performance. As to how a judge or jury decides what the contract provided, they listen to the evidence and decide who they believe is telling the truth. Juries and judges decide "he said, she said" cases daily. While certain contracts have to be in writing to be enforced, exceptions are made, such as where there has been full performance on one side of the agreement. Otherwise, you are opening the door to people taking advantage of others by receiving performance and then not performing their end while hiding behind the lack of a contract as a defense.

Very nice set.
