Some top quality art criticism in this thread.

By chance there s nothing about basket-ball in this sh**... im just bored of this kind of tactics
Doesn't seem to make much sense to me to have those two characters doing that in a packed stadium.
Looks more like a commission piece.
The art itself isn't that bad at all.

I actually dig it. Reminds me of the late Darwyn Cooke, of which I was a big fan of.
That's right. I compared it to Bruce Timm, but that's possibly better still.

Different overheads, possibly they can’t.
Haven’t read the entire thread myself, but that’s a fundamental.

I snatched 36 quarters off my elbow once. Three stacks of twelve.
Ha!
Being quite dyspraxic, clumsy, I’m extremely impressed with this level of coordination.
Well done.

The best I’ve done is 12 under par on the course in Grand Theft Auto 5.
It doesn’t compare.

Just got the Micronauts Marvel Omnibus. Even though I have the issues from way back, decided I wanted to read them again after 45 years... Relive my 13 year old self...
I don’t blame you. Incredibly nostalgic material for Bronze Age kids. Great to see it collected, at last.
My first exposure to the brilliance of Michael Golden’s artwork.
At the time I didn’t realise I had a silent competitor for the comics on the newsstand over here. I tended to focus on Marvels and never really noticed that the choice DC issues were being snapped up, including Golden’s Batman Family and Mister Miracle books. I had to pick those up later at British comic marts.
Eventually though, I got introduced to him and we became firm collecting buddies.

I tend to favour the noble, do-gooder, protector archetype. We’ve had Superman already, so I’ll go with Captain America instead.

Actually, you beat me to it there.
I suppose, for these boards, it’s not that obscure or smart an answer.
I thought it might’ve been less likely to appear than picking Wolverine or Punisher. I wouldn’t, many would.
Shows what I know.

I’m not at all impressed with the grading here.
The seller is clearly incompetent and a bit of a quack.

Many of time I have just kicked on the radio (on the pip boy) and wandered the wastes.
It's surprisingly good. Quite common in RPGs. Riding around the country on a horse or hiking in Elder Scrolls or Witcher, on a motorbike with the radio on in GTA San Andreas, etc.
Fallout has several faction endings to play through as well, adding to its overall longevity.

Couldn't help myself, got a good deal on Amazon for the 52 omnibus and the Absolute Doomsday Clock. I'm hopeless.
Both good series. 52 is very consistent in quality. Thick omnibus.

A lead character in the series who's fairly close to the look that I chose for my character in the video game. The models provided by Bethesda in the PS4 version to select from and modify aren't great, and I ended up being happiest playing as the African-American woman, with a fairly slim build. After a bit of deliberating, that looked the best one to me. It also seemed to fit in most sympathetically with the grand, underlying theme of the game; a vulnerable, bereft parent looking for their child in a harsh, broken world.
That said, I haven't watched the series yet, just raising an interesting parallel. Similar idea.

What I find unacceptable is that grading companies are easier on defects displayed by Golden Age comics than on the same defect displayed by a modern comic. That easing of standards plays right into every shyster's tired mantra of "Well it's mint for its age!" You know, just like any used car salesman.
But mint is mint. That standard doesn't vary with age.
I agree. It should be absolute.
I buy comics as an investment...

Never bought comics with investment as a driving force.
Always loved reading them and bought whatever I connected to, the best copy I could find within an affordable price limit.
I do wish I'd been less impulsive and more selective, though. Although I've had some luck with them, voracious reading leads to the accumulation of far too much drek and far too much long term regret, as your outlook and your focal points, both inside and outside of the comics realm, change naturally with age.
