  1. ok... this one actually made me chuckle... and think of TJ for some reason...
  2. Agreed. They are developing new inks now that are pleasing for your eyes, lets keep a eye out for the new i-tablet, its suppose to be the ultimate comic book reader,It will make you want to read comics online(so they say). Mythical Apple iTablet to be Ultimate Comic Book Reader? So long as humanity has the senses of "touch" and "smell", "digital stuff" is not going to replace the real thing permanently, no matter what it is. I dunno I read all my newspapers/text books online and never buy a newspaper at the store anymore. super hero comic books seem to be the last holdout, even manga is making progress online.It sure does make for good discussion. Not talking about newspapers, as noted previously ("printed fiction.") Yes I did say "no matter what it is", but I was referring to the big picture, not the various forms of print. I staddle the line on both of your opinions. I don't think digital comics/books will ever completely replace physical printed copies, BUT I do think very strongly that they will be a great compliment. I have said MANY times on these boards that I cannot wait for a digital platform that all publishers will support. Once device comes out, I will definately jump on. Many of the books that I get copies of today will fall by the wayside for digital copies. It will be cheaper to buy more copies and vastly easier to store. That doesn't mean I'm going to stop buying physical copies all together. I am one of the comic book "nerds" that love to both read and collect comics. For the titles I collect, I will definately still be purchasing physical copies, but again, why waste extra money and space on physical copies of books that I purchase only to read? :shrug:
  3. :shrug: dunno... but I do know you can a rod budup chshhhh
  4. I'm looking forward to issue 7 after seeing this on Rob's twitter... "Drawing Vampires and big-boobied spies. Life is hard. "
  5. have fun with that.... made a 90 should have been a 96... F-in true/false questions with a third option of "abmigious"... missed both of them by picking ambigious
  6. Nice interview about Chew with Layman and Guillory over at CBR
  7. as long as it's about you! like my random ... So I'm working from home so the Best Buy Geek Squad could calibrate our new TV... The lady that sold us the tv says "they'll need to come 2-3 weeks after you get the tv".. ok, so we schedule it for that. Geek Squad guy gets here "has it been on for 200 hours?" I have no clue. He checks... TVs been on for 39.6 hours since we got it. "you really need to wait until you hit 200 hours or you are just wasting your money" girl at the store said 2-3 weeks... "no it's usually 6 weeks to 2 months" so as long as it involves you, random is all good (thumbs u
  8. I put it here, Gav, because I was PMing outside of our sales thread about it too...
  9. PM sent!! dang it. i was thinking of doing that too. beat me to it I would still send one... Steve is kind of cheap <3

  11. It's a slippery slope to be sure, but taking the time to reflect on our materialistic ways every now and again can't hurt. For 's sake, the difference in price between a 9.8 and a 9.9 is more than 60%+ of the world's population will make in an entire decade of working 12 hour days. It's sad. The least we could all do is acknowledge our obscene behavior from time to time. True. Beyond that, I think the reason this spoons people off so much, myself included, is that at this level its pure unadulterated label-chasing. Its not about the book, not even a little bit. I completely agree with you, but, hey, if that's that buyer's thing... :shrug: ... great for the seller.
  12. For those that I have been PMing with... I am definately going on the 5th!
  13. Considering how 90% of the world's population lives, collectors really are a bunch avaricious spoon-bags.
  14. You should've bought the art to NM#98 instead of the Joe #21. blasphemy!
  15. ...or worse, bashing the buyer. (thumbs u You are correct,sir. It was my error in leaving that out.
  16. That is my question as well. There is definately a strong demand for the book and a definate scarcity for that grade. I don't really see a difference between someone spending that much money on a comic if it provides some type of utility to them If this is how the buyer chose to spend his money so be it. I would much rather congratulate the seller, a fellow forum member who has been discussing the sale of this book in the copper forum. than bashing the existence of the book.
