I like Arch.

I miss the pie juggling. Have fun storming the castle.

I like Five Weapons more. And that was written for kids. It's quite possible that I don't have enough wattage to plow through anything more complex.

I am sure that the lorakeet bosom shot will foster productive discourse on this topic.

(Stands behind Arch) Arch is in the house, punks. Let's see who is posting swear words and begging for strikes now! That's right. Not so big now, are you?

What's good for the goose is always good for the gander. Why discuss things...when a MEME says it all. Kind of like: I stand behind that assessment as well. Did you have a sweet pre-order of those that I am taking a dump upon as well? Ask yourself which position has more intellectual honesty - a comic fan who doesn't like a comic, or a comic fan pump, pump, pumping a book that hasn't done anything other than frame out a story in a first issue. And keep up with the ad hominem attacks. They are always funny.

Hey, fingh. I got the Indiana Jones vibe from the book... with a dash of James Bond thrown in. I suppose it's just a matter of tastes. For example: I have a jones for post-apocalyptic stories, so I like Blackacre. That certainly doesn't go for everyone here. I asked because a lot of times I don't like first issues, but if the concept is good, sometimes it is worth coming back to. Most of the series that I really, really like, however (Planetary, MP, Fell, Goon) there is an instantaneous hook. I am ready for another book like MP. I really like Saga, but it is not quite there for me. However, with the huckster hype machine grinding away with 50 page threads before the first issues drops, it is hard to get any decent intel. Anything other than gushing reviews potentially hurts the resale value on the Phantom variant 20 issue pre-order. So you get a lot of "I don't know, I just really like it all. You know the whole feel is just, wow, hard to put in words." So, sorry to everyone about actually being underwhelmed with the first issue. I trust you will all pump enough vague, yet enthusiastic praise to keep those Ebay sales popping. (thumbs u This seems to be the latest popular insults to throw at members when the poster doesn't care for the book or series. God forbid others find a series fun or interesting. Back in the old days if you didn't like a comic series you just didn't participate in the thread but I suppose now we have to show everyone how awesome we are and poop all over their likes and good vibes. Care on with the bashing. I'm sure your thoughts will continue in this thread for some time to come. (thumbs u Ha-Ha. This from the guy whose website exists solely to pump hot comics. Untrue. It's comics, magic cards, video games, coins, sport cards and toys. Seriously, get your facts straight. I know you peek from time to time. Don't deny it.

Sweet meltdown fruitcake. Why discuss something when you can pump, PUMP, PUMP it up.

I felt the same way. There were at least 6 issues worth of potential there, and it could easily have gone for 8 books worth. I bet Hickman must have ideas falling out of every orifice, if they blasted through that one as fast as they did. I'm hoping, because I shudder to think how shattered I will be when this series comes to an end. My latest SS are finally in hand and scanned, and while I won't torture Sean with all of them again this one is just too not to post. Beautiful. My torture is soon to come to an end. C2E2!!!! I think Hickman may have been going for the ironic with how easily the Illuminati were defeated. The illusory nature of traditional power structures vs. the tangible, quantifiable and massive power of organized super-science.

I love hot comics. I love good comics. My biggest problem is pumping these comics into a froth before they even come out. Then when they do come out, it's not OK to have a "Blah" reaction to it? This is a chat board. Talking about these types of things is what chat boards are for. If you don't like it, come up with a cogent, and reasonable explanation why I am wrong. Fifty, seventy, one hundred page threads before a books comes out? For every new Image book? And now Oni and Dark Horse and Avatar? The first one of these books that goes Locke and Key because the pilot didn't get picked up, or the cartoon blows is going to be a big blow to the new hype machine model. Hope everyone still continues to enjoy the stories and art.

My deal went perfectly. Very easy to deal with.

GFY huckster. Have fun trying to make some monie$$$ That's cool bro, but quite an inept and uneducated assessment of me. I've never sold a comic to anyone anywhere for anything. How about you Huckleberry? But I'll just get back to enjoying the comic, won't be dignifying any more of your inane responses and prattle. I know your MO is usually to be a dooshnozzle in the forums so have at it. Good call, n00b. Keep pumping the spec hype. Hope all your dreams come true. Hugs and kisses!

What is it about this book that you guys like? Read it today, wanted to love it. Didn't. It's basically Ben10 with 5 victorian-era archetypes. And sometimes the powers don't work right, like Greatest American Hero? Somebody hit me with a PM if this book gets good.

Just read 7-10 this morning. My only complaint is that they could have made about 4 more great comics out of all that material. Usually I feel like a four issue arc should have been one issue (Bendis etc.) on this one, it actually felt rushed, and I would have loved to have seen some real battles royale with the Illuminati. Viva la MP!!!!

Thanks Sean,Nick and PiP for helping me avoid a bad seller.I love this place! Those guys did all the heavy lifting. I'm just hoping this attracts other people to keep all the eBay threads in one place.

Pure success!!!

I can't even find a primecollectibles on ebay. Link?

They were "primeinvestibles". Complete soap scum.

It never really caught on. But still is a successful sarcasm vehicle.

Bump for frickin' Oakland.
