  1. This is definitely the point to jump on collecting the floppies, I mean right now! With the busted FOX pilot all the speculators jumped ship(again). Prices on first prints are going down as we speak. But... Sy-Fy is most likely moments away, from picking it up with NBC's cancelled The Event. You air L&K after Smackdown on Friday nights, you got a sure fire hit. Depending on the effects budget. If you go through the trade route, you'll have an agonizing wait in between.
  2. wait until michonne is introduced on the show.... Some beloved TWD characters don't transition to well on the show too(Carl ). A heck of an investment if for that reason. I just hope a TWD super fan(or Michonne superfan, JJ I'm looking at you) got it and not someone plotting to sell it for a premium on eBay if her charcter is introduced.
  3. Another great review of the L&K pilot! In the words at Star Trek's Khan at FOX, Khan: [quoting from Melville's Moby ] "To the last, I will grapple with Glee... from Hell's heart, I stab at Glee! For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at Glee!" How could something like this happen?
  4. I looked at it in the store, but decided to pass. The collector in me didn't want to rip out the glasses and make it incomplete, and there was no way I was buying 2 copies at that price. I bought alot of 3-D glasses(red & blue, green and pink and IMAX) on eBay for occasions like this. Some of the panels were cool, but this 3-D book had too much ghosting or bland dimensions and definitely wasn't as good as Seduth's 3-D effects.
  5. I am sure most people will have to be reminded of that. And I don't smoke weed. Anyone got any weed? Isn't that illegal in your country?
  6. Unfortunately, this might be the beginning of something TWD fans(in all media) might not be ready for. Eric Powell, I'm looking at you.
  7. Anyone read the other zombie comic this week? The one in 3-D.
  8. I am sure most people will have to be reminded of that. And I don't smoke weed. Anyone got any weed? OK, who's holding? I do remember that whisper thing too, but with no emotional pay-off with a Season #1 cliffhanger because of it, the second season will have to remind us what was said a year before through plodding dialouge ( ), the comic doesn't even do that. This series needs to be in your face-unpredictable, for all we know Noah Emmerich's character told Rick that the dog dies in Marley & Me or Dale farts too much in the closed space down there. I'm just pointing out how greed might have distracted Kirkman and company with this thing, other than the variant thing he is tapping now. Even though Locke & Key might never make it to the air, Joe Hill's book fired on all cylinders, during the TV production. Maybe TWD should be a bi-monthly book too? Until things get straightened out better. Interest is definitely waning, and a s0-so TV show isn't gonna help.
  9. Alot you never talk about the concerning quality of the televsion show either. I enjoyed it's efforts last Halloween, but it wore out it's welcome too fast. It still has alot of promise though. I like it's gritty feel, a couple of new characters were great and it didn't follow to exactly to the book in an effort to be different. But, like all TV, it had way too many dumb moments, you wouldn't expect from the brand either. Civilization has just collapsed, but bigots can still be bigots, despite the fact it's apparent everyone needs one another and differences would have been set aside in real life, I think. That petty felt like it was wasting my time with cliches. Why did Merle cut off his whole hand, when he could have just cut off his thumb to get out of his handcuffs? Why did they hire the brilliant Jones Lennie James to play Morgan intensely different at first, then let him play the Morgan we all know, the one who can't shoot his loved ones. Then there is the "mad" scientist in the bunker. Not to mention the underwhelming ending as the camper drives off in the sunset. I want to ask you guys, what's the most memorable moment for you from the series? Doesn't the series have a few? Most will say Atlanta or the zombie attack at the camp(been there, done that in the floppy), but shouldn't the last episode have had one to make everyone want more? I guess to me this is Kirkman/Darabont dropping the ball. I just hope this isn't the reason why the comic has felt bland and routine through a few arcs. My
  10. My thoughts on Issue #85 No one is safe from the "Waiting to Exhale Arc"
  11. Jerel! I'll take a look since I'm the proofreading perfectionist Doc. Processing Coordinator.
  12. Teaking my intro. Cheryllynn. Any typos? (a few more paragraphs going up this weekend too)
  13. A Tony Moore #100 would make up for alot of convention/Superhero variants that came out along the way. No... Wait... This is how they get you!
  14. +1 This title is about to get dropped from my monthly list. I abhor putting out variants purely just for the sake of it, and it sucks that Walking Dead is succumbing to this. Agreed. One of the things I really enjoyed about the series was the lack of variants. Seem this is no longer the case and it's annoying. I feel you TWD guy's pain, with these. The L&K variants(although G-Rod's art on them are ), made me very uneasy as a collector to build a complete graded set. I feel variants should milestone issues only, where people are gonna want to actually purchase them in multiples. Not a variant for every random issue. I feel like everytime I get one joe_collector is acting like Nelson from The Simpsons, going "HA-HA!" Basically, I know what I am doing, but my collecting OCD won't let me heed the warnings of the boardies who were burned in the 90's from the over-saturation of chase covers.
  15. Great deals for people who want to inexpensively fill in holes in their L&K Registry Set. (thumbs u
  16. Locke & Key Funfact #34,879 Did you know that Locke & Key's first and only(so far) comic crossover was in BOOM! Studio's Hellraiser #1? The Ghost Key made a cameo in it. I picked up this rare Signed Edition that would normally only get put in a Qualified holder, but it was luckily witnessed when Clive Barker signed it and wound up in a Signature Series holder instead. Another one of a kind book in the highest grade.
  17. Maybe it was revenge for getting in between Rick and his "bromance".
