  1. I am not surprised. Smart move by Disney. That being said, I think that the WW movie will be huge and driven by a large female audience just like SS was. Last year my daughter and her friends saw SS multiple times (as did most female tweens/teens we know), and I expect it to be the same for WW.
  2. My wife and I finally started watching season 1 this weekend. We just finished Episode 3 and both like it. The casting was done well, and so far it is a decently written show. Does it get better as it goes along?
  3. I will be back with a bunch of new stuff tomorrow night. Here are the first couple of raw books I have scanned so far: Amazing Spider-Man #175 VF/NM $18 SOLD Punisher x-over
  4. The Ras Al Ghul arc is the big one one. You can argue that Tec 405 (1st League of Assassins) is the start, followed by Tec 411, Batman 232, 235, 240, and then the best two issues IMHO, Batman 243/44.
  5. Nice! Unfortunately, at around 500, you still have a long way to go.......
  6. Might be postponed another day. I am waiting in emergency with one of my kids getting a sports injury checked out.
  7. No clue what issues those are since I do not follow the book. I should have a copy or two of #1 someplace, but that would be it.
  8. Now this could be an awesome show. Basically Law and Order with a sci-fi twist. My that they do this right.
  9. Still at work for another couple of hours. I will likely start with the raw books later tonight. Amazing Spider-Man and the other A's first.
  10. Wonder Woman #204 CGC 9.4 OW - $150 SOLD Jam packed - 1st Appearance of Nubia, Death of I Ching, Origin of Wonder Woman and Amazon Race.
  11. I am looking to thin some books out and will be posting a number of raw and slabbed Silver and Bronze books over the next week or so. As usual, trumps PMs I have not responded to. Shipping Policy: Shipping for slabbed comics starts at $20 in a small box with tracking and insurance in Canada and the continental USA. Shipping for raw books starts at $6 for a bubble padded mailer or $10 for a small cardboard mailer in Canada and the continental USA. Overseas shipping will be charged at the postal rate. Note: Assume that all slabbed books have been pressed. Some I have done myself, others that I bought slabbed are likely pressed as well. Return Policy: Within 14 days of receipt for raw books. No return on slabbed books.
  12. The 80s TV show was great. The special effects were bad and the story lines could be even worse, but it was fun to watch.

  13. I can't believe how tight the supply of this book has become on the market on the heels of the movie announcement, especially in 8.0+. I can remember not that long ago when 8.0+ listings were the norm if you wanted a decent price for the book.
  14. Nice CDN newsstand variants and very nice prices. Both are extremely tough to find in these grades.
  15. Wow! That is a phenomenal piece of Ivy OA! Congratulations. If you ever decide to part with it I would definitely be interested.........
