Daredevil 321 raw on ebay sells for $11050. What am I missing?
It's been selling near that price forever, Dave. I fished two out of your dollar bin and got 8K apiece for them.

There's no way that this is the same comic book.
If that's the same comic book, then I wear panties to bed.
You would be surprised at some before and after photos.
It looks like the same book to me. Look underneath the chin.
He can’t see. He wears the panties over his head.

I suspect Dad, seen in the photo, is the ‘team’ that funds the enterprise.

Agreed. That first movie was action gold. No matter what the books reflect.
It's like if folks really reflected on Tony Stark in the comic books is 6'1" tall, yet Robert Downey JR is 5'9" tall. Where the pitchforks then over this height concern?
For me it wasn’t the height. 5’6” Stallone can be made to look much bigger.
Reacher is described as a rough hewn man. NOBODY reading the books pictures facial features like Tom Cruise.

Go with Batman 609. It’s most likely that Tommy Elliot/Hush becomes a key Batman villain over time.
That said, Lee, as purely an artist, as opposed to a writer/artist, has been at the mercy of the creative whims of the writers he’s worked with, in terms of establishing a key book/character/first app over his career.

They would not get a custom Purple label, they would get the old purple label.
I never said there was a new custom purple label.
Not even with the Purple Man on it?

Yup, time to unload those Suicide Squad villains (again). Has it been already four years since the first one?
Why is there an announcement?
Companies like to announce these things (SS 2 movie cast) to build excitement, rather than just having them magically appear in a theater near you one Friday.

Nice. I only ordered 100, and hopefully the two deaths and Thoranus 1st app make it worthwhile.
The variant is the reason I decided to chase it. Nice cover.
Thoranus?
God of ‘Thunder’, baby.

Wonder if they’re getting thin on consignments?

Think of it like a blueberry pie, rather than a cherry pie. It’s a bit darker.

That was a cover app and an interior cameo.

I like what I see of Virus thus far, I hope he has staying power and is a good villain for Brock. That said speculation originally was that he was Jack o'Lantern, but that seems too obvious, now people are more for Lee Price.
Put me down for Phil Urich.

It was also in a bunch of other titles that month. I saw someone say that those didn't count as a first appearance as it was a preview/pre-print. (I think people are just making up these terms now) To me, those 9 pages of the first issue preview counts as their first appearance.
The market has turned its back on this line of thinking. Besides, if you're going to call that a first appearance, why stop there? The Previews had an earlier appearance.

I remember how I stopped collecting around those times...I was 15 so I knew nothing of day trading, stocks, market crashes, inflation, collectibles crashes. I'm 41 and I still no very little about it...
But I do know this...when something dies as the OP has said, it generally stays dead...so did the comic book industry die until movies started coming out? Or did CGC help resurrect it?
It didn't 'die', per se. It just took a huge haircut. By 1996, the gimmick books, the supply glut, the distributor wars, the cover price increases and the drop in quality of the books had chased many long time collectors away.
As the decade ended, some collectors crept back, with the rise of eBay, CGC, the movies, and pockets of increased quality.

He also just said, when I told him I made a thread:
"I was big into both markets when that happened. I was there. I give no credence to anyone that disagrees".He's right. From '91-'93, if you went into sports card stores, you started to see stacks of that week's hot new releases showing up on display tables, and sections of the card stores being devoted to comic books. Things like Valiant, the Batman back breaking issues, the Marvel hologram covers, and the polybagged return of Superman books were everywhere.

I was getting worried. It’d been six months since he’d started a thread like this.

So it’s a time displaced Tim Drake in a Batman Beyond costume?!
But I can't imagine why Bruce would call Batman "Tim" if it was Terry in the suit.
It’s like the Seinfeld when George bought the car that ‘John’ Voight had owned.
‘Sometimes I go by Tim... sometimes I go by Terry...’

In Death Metal #2 he's revealed and literally says his name out loud. To me, that's more than a cameo but what do I know?
Well, you know that IH 180 is considered a cameo. You also know that the market decides what the market decides.

Now it's how many different books/stories of a hero can we make....
It's fascinating, but so confusing....
Companies ought to take that under advisement, if they have any hope of attracting and keeping fans of the movies/TV shows as comic readers.

From StackExchange:
To sum up:
Modal stacking is not sloppy, meaningless, or redundant; linguistically, it is a systematic process (which I think is really cool!). It is just non-standard in English — something one would avoid using outside of this particular dialect group, especially because (like many features of Southern English) it carries a certain stigma outside of where it is used. But within that group, it is a productive and useful construction.
I asked a sister, a brother, a wife and a husband from SC, and they both agreed.
Gary Groth and John Byrne have a friendly chat...

The part in the left column describing how Byrne interacted with Claremont at times is exactly what I envision when I hear the phrase 'creative differences' used in describing the breakdown of a partnership.
