  1. "Miller looks sick specu-sigs" It only hurts because it's true . . .
  2. Can't wait to see what the Phantom Zone Kryptonian book ends up looking like.
  3. What movie were Bernsen and Kilmer both in other than Kiss Kiss Bang Bang???
  4. The Weekend is this generation's Prince. This is a huge book. Wow!
  5. I bet everyone in here has tape pulled a book before. I know I have.
  6. That looks like a Dynamic Forces signed and numbered book. Check behind the Board to see if they have the cert on it. That usually gives all the details.
  7. In Indianapolis, one of the major shops (probably Comic Carnival) quadrupled down on the launch of Marvel's New Universe in the mid 80's by having TV ads. While it was cool (in theory) to see comics on TV, the production value and the subject matter were so lame, there were not enough facepalms in existence at that point to do the job . . .
  8. Absolutely not - to most collectors. There are absolute purists who demand that there be no writing, but even CGC will not deduct (unless, possibly, if it is ultra high grade) for a clean sig on the splash page. Also, that is almost certainly an authentic Stan Lee signature. It looks fantastic!!!
  9. You will always get more traction with Signature questions in the Signature Room, if you have any questions in the future. Conway is what I would call middle of the road on scarcity. He does not do lots of shows (like say, George Perez) and he is not super high in demand, so very few of his books are done for speculative purposes. In 2013 he was readily available, and a lot of SS books got done at San Diego and in a couple of private signings. He usually does at least one private signing a year.
  10. I saw JL on Saturday. I wanted to love it, but I didn't. I enjoyed it, at times quite a bit. 5/10 for me. The major problem for me was simple: Batman. In cosmic storylines (especially Darkseid related) the only way the Batman works is if he is a nearly perfect combo of the World's Greatest Detective and the World's Toughest Man. Otherwise, he is just a bag of flesh that would get liquified by the other players. Seeing him fumble and flail about, not even being able to find Cyborg was sad and stupid. He should have found them instantaneously, forced them to join, using intimidation, blackmail or whatever is necessary. They all hate but grudgingly admire Batman, giving them all a reason to band together to keep an eye on him, because he is so scarily ahead of them on everything. Batman's intellectual superiority becomes the one thing that softens the edges of this dark world, the humor and the pathos can all be generated easily by having a genius-level detective/strategist Batman (it's how Morrison was able to have a thrilling Darkseid arc in his 1997 JLA run). So it is not about Affleck's delivering a weak, ineffectual, bumbling Batman, it is about the -script not providing the Batman this movie deserved.
  11. D-ick Ayers was honked off at where Stan signed. He wanted to dangle his sig between G-M's legs. True story!!
  12. Chartreuse Partrouche. Say that 10 times fast.
  13. Exactly. Based upon cost to create, you could get 3 of them done for the cost of the one SS book. There is something to be said for the value of not having to wait, no risk of grade drop etc., but that is one of the widest spreads I have seen in 10 years of doing SS.
