I really enjoyed the movie and have now watched it twice.  Count me as one who would have gladly paid to go twice to the movies, but already have HBO and chose to simply watch on the big screen in my living room instead.

Thought it was in sarge steel...maybe #6?

I’m not sure I’d consider this a 2nd appearance (or 1st given it came out at the same time as SWS4) simply because we just see Judomasters head in a backup page/panel explaining Karate and how to do some basic moves.  He’s not in an actual story, and hard to argue even cameo given that it’s just a karate tutorial with no story arc. I’m sure an asterisk should be added somewhere for it, but I’d consider 2nd appearance as Judomaster #89 IMO.  That said, I think I saw somewhere that maybe Overstreet denotes Sarge Steel 6 as 2nd appearance, so I guess it’s debatable.  

I know Charlton comics aren’t known for strong stories and engaging characters, but I find them appealing for some odd reason.  The character concepts are actually quite interesting and I could see some kind of resurgence with good story-telling and maybe some luck.  Gunn may be just blowing smoke, but he’s commented that the upcoming Suicide Squad movie is his favorite work yet (and hard to believe he would favor this over GoTG), so I could see Peacemaker and maybe a few other Charlton rejects (Judomaster, etc) get a bit of renewed love with the Peacemaker HBO spinoff.  Stranger things have happened. 
 

A couple of new pickups for me...

Watched it on Paramount+ last night and really enjoyed it for the most part.  Nothing groundbreaking, but suspenseful and fun.

Seemed like a good time to give this thread a bump

What happens to the 2 highest WW books that CC had for sale ?  Dont see them on their site anymore--assume we would have heard if they sold ...

I noticed that too.  They both fell off my watch list (and trust me, I was only watching ).  Maybe due to the cosmic sales results on highest graded Promise books, they've decided to take off the site for a bit and try to reset the bar with higher prices.

I can’t get past the amazing Alex Ross covers.  

Just watched through Episode 6.  This is surprisingly a very good show.  Obviously somewhat catered towards a younger (teenage) audience, but it has some coming of age lessons and some great action that simply makes this fun to watch. Good character development and love to see the Justice Society brought into modern times.  Even the passcode for the door lock in episode 6 was “1941”, so subtle references back to the golden age and early Justice Society days.  Very enjoyable thus far!

Yeah, but a chip is a chip.  GA or modern, it sure makes the book fugly.  Why would the grade not represent what is obvious to the eye as a flaw (either manufactured or not)?

Have you posted this concern of yours on the SA boards yet where all of the Marvel zombies hang out and asked them the same question in realtionship to Marvel chipping on the early Marvel books where the graders give the books a pass even though chipping goes down the entire page of the book.    

No thanks.  I believe I stirred the pot enough already.  I have plenty of marvel chip SA as well, and do consider that a flaw.  But why invite ridicule?

different page counts, different paper, modern presses, etc.    it may not seem like much to me it is.   You're going to have bindery chips as part of manufacture on those big fat GA books.   You're not going to have them on modern books.  etc. etc.

All-Star #33 Close-ups.............

 

Yikes.  Unless that corner ding/tear happened post-encapsulation, that's really has me questioning whether it was purposely mis-graded or if we've got some inexperienced graders looking at these.  Talk me off a limb here.  Is a 9.6 possible with that defect?

Agreed.  While it’s an amazing book, a 9.8 has to be a mistake, no?
