Im surprised they're not tied up in your basement. Nah, I keep the basement free for Christina Ricci Just make sure all your books are accounted for after she leaves.

I love 4 and 8! I agree with you on everything except 7, which I find a bit bland. Saga's color is amazing! The book stands out like a neon sign among the drab, uni-tone look of most other books.

(thumbs u It is fun to look back, and see how your prognostications worked out.

If Daredevil came out before 700 why would you suggest that book over DD 21? I'd suggest none of them. This is a story, no different from FF 587 or Cap 25. It'll all be over soon enough. If you do speculate, flip quickly.

Good luck. In the current age of increasing speculation, you'll be lucky to find oxidation, unless you have an LCS where no boardies shop.

Works for me.

Based on what? Do you have any specifics to support that?

"We have decided to cease second printings of single issues of titles that are known over-performers in hopes that it will help initial sales find their proper level. That’s marketing-speak for “You know this sells, so you’d better make sure you order enough!” We'll see how this goes.

So would you buy DVDs or BlueRay copies of that episode?

I like that cover better than the first print.

I think a bigger scan would help to clarify things, Larry.

+1 And, the books aren't 'ruined'. The stories' quality is independent of whether there are variants or not.

After reading Action Comics #1 I'm not surprised. Writing and art was absolutely atrocious. +1 I left mine in the can.

The only books to look at would be first apps of villains, and storyline related books. Even then, as noted above, Superman doesn't get much hobby love.

Why? Gambit trail. Maybe that's in the next movie? Thanks for the list, again. (thumbs u

Why?

Ahhh. I see. So the paper gets crushed and pushed beyond the staple, while the staple remains anchored to the less mobile inner sheafs. Anyone have before/after pics?

I don't get this either. Can someone explain the physics of how pressing would cause properly placed (not offset) staples to be driven into the book? How will a press create a force from the side to push a staple through the spine into the book? I find the Litch groin bump more plausible. The theory goes that if a cover has some bounce to it (large radius curve at the spine) and is pressed down onto the interior the spine might actually move back relative to the interior pages. Take any round ball. Large radius. Small radius. Soft. Hard. Now, press down on it. WHEN are you EVER going to see the sides bow inward? The force put on the top/bottom of the rounded object cause a bowing effect of the sides, and there is nothing to stop the staple from moving with it, as far as I can theorize.

Really? No. But does it matter? Yes. What you post matters. +1 I value your opinion.

The ones that say "Robert Bell" on the flap. This is a baseball thread; don't you mean Albert Belle. he'll always be joey to me. Me too... he of the corked bat theft, GPS on ex-GFs car, chase of Halloween vandals, and ball thrown at a fan.

I don't have full confidence in the 'Grammer' he learned, either.

I'm actually OK with this story. Because, in the end, it won't be a change to the status quo. It'll be a six month change at most. Nobody wants to read about an Otto Octavius Spider-Man long term. Unless Marvel wants to see Spidey sales slide into the 25K range or less, this will be a temporary situation. Didn't like Alpha? Octavius Spidey, if written to character, will be equally obnoxious.

I hope that's a story.

Only because they were stupid. Gotta get rid of the stupid Ewert, Schmell and Dupcak threads next.
