  1. tried to read this comic on an airplane one time. because of the cover, the guy next to me thought some very unsavory things about me. He kept putting his armrest down and it kept hitting my arm the whole flight. never making that mistake again
  2. Also, surprisingly no relation to seinfeld. Field/feld throws some people off. also both being in comedy
  3. is your couch crocodile skin? must have been expensive
  4. Thought 300 was a bit historically misleading. many of the events of the film never even happened.
  5. Always was interested in the book on the right. Shows character to hold a puma over your head. likely about to throw it. many comic characters wouldnt do such a thing.
  6. arguably the most exciting two months any person could have in their life. Unfortunately, you may have peaked. Don't be too hard on yourself on the way down. The light at the end of the tunnel is there. You just. have. to. fight.
  7. Bone may just be the most interesting character in comic history. Big nose on that thang
  8. Love Streaky, but I think the writers really jumped the shark here with super-monkey. Didn't even bother giving him a real name. Same with super-horse. That's pretty embarrassing. Just slapped capes on a monkey and a horse. Look, I get that they're not as prominent as streaky and krypto, but they really didnt even bother trying to give them distinct personalities either. shameful. been thinking about this for a while.
  9. Never played the game but I watched a few clips and it looks disappointing. Was a big fan of some of the clips I saw from the Arkham series, so I had high expectations for this game. Rocksteady studios should change their name to Rock- the game isnt ready- studios. Needed to go back in the incubator and have all the story and dialogue worked out before they pushed out this unfinished mud that they call a "video game." really really upset. lost a lot of sleep over it.
  10. Honestly, I expected a greater jump. Watched the auction close and when it ended at 40 I had to rub my eyes to make sure I was reading it right. Took a few minutes for it to settle in. Four zero. Wow. Surprised this didn't break 50, but have no doubt the price will continue to rise.
  11. Yeah. Not a big fan. Also, I've heard some truly horrible things about the folks over at CC. Things I wish I could forget.
  12. I must have missed those threads. I do think she might be leaning into the action roles a bit too much. But she definitely has the chops. Hope to see some more dramatic roles from her in the future. Think she would work well with a director like Scorsese or Tarantino. I looked for her agents email to give her some film recs with types of roles I think she would but good for I haven't been able to find it. Hoping witht the sale of the wonder woman comifc and with this thread someone from her team might see and reach out
  13. Interesting... What's wrong with gal? And sorry but I think 65k is the hard cap on that one.
  14. Let's get down to business. These are the top 3 comics ending at auction tomorrow: Number 3: Wonder Woman #1 CGC 5.5: Estimated Hammer Price - $65,000. This is a real good book. I like the look of it and it's gonna go for quite a hefty sum. Gal Gadot is a talented actress and a very tall woman. https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FPREVIEW.ASP%3F_SORT%3DYES%26returning%3D1%26code%3D2024feb%26f1%3Darp%26ODire1%3DDESC%26f2%3Di.Type%2C%2Bi.Title%2C%2Bi.IssueNumber%26ODire2%3DASC%26f3%3Dsortcond%26ODire3%3DDESC%26fshowpicture%3D1%26fthumbbeenhere%3D1%26reliststatus%3Dtestrls%23Item_1742182&id=1742182&itemType=0 Number 2: Tomb of Terror #15 CGC 8.0: Estimated Hammer Price - $19,000. So as you can see, the guy's face... yeah, it explodes. Pretty friggin sweet. https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FPREVIEW.ASP%3F_SORT%3DYES%26returning%3D1%26code%3D2024feb%26f1%3Darp%26ODire1%3DDESC%26f2%3Di.Type%2C%2Bi.Title%2C%2Bi.IssueNumber%26ODire2%3DASC%26f3%3Dsortcond%26ODire3%3DDESC%26fshowpicture%3D1%26fthumbbeenhere%3D1%26reliststatus%3Dtestrls%23Item_1737873&id=1737873&itemType=0 Number 1: THE HOLY GRAIL... Police Comics #1 CGC 8.5: Estimated Hammer Price - $43,000+. Doubt we see another book like this at auction again. 4.0 just sold for 18k. Let's do the math. 8.5/4= a little over 2. 18000*2ish = approximately 40000. adjust for inflation and eye appeal. that's a lot. Plus with the rumors of a plastic man movie with timothy chalament and margot robbie (2027), this book is gonna BOOM. I was the high bidder at 17k but unfortunately cant go higher as the wife needed an enhancement surgery and the budget is tight. https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FPREVIEW.ASP%3F_SORT%3DYES%26returning%3D1%26code%3D2024feb%26f1%3Darp%26ODire1%3DDESC%26f2%3Di.Type%2C%2Bi.Title%2C%2Bi.IssueNumber%26ODire2%3DASC%26f3%3Dsortcond%26ODire3%3DDESC%26fshowpicture%3D1%26fthumbbeenhere%3D1%26reliststatus%3Dtestrls%23Item_1751205&id=1751205&itemType=0 Excelsior!
  15. stan (the man) lee, had he not been such an incredibly talented writer, had an alternative career in meat. steady hands and could slice any ounce size you ask for first try. just an incredibly talented guy
  16. so I have a combination of either rats or bed bugs in my studio apartment (rent controlled) in the upper east side. have had a lot of similar issues with comics. set up a mouse trap with a block of swiss cheese, but waken up at 3 am one morning and forgot about the trap. tried to grap the cheese and the thing got my finger. YOUCH! picture for reference
  17. the spiderman is pretty big these days. that kid tim holland has a lot of potential... hope he goes for some more serious roles in the future though. I think he could meet Oscar in about 30 years
  18. not sure... manufacturers in the 40s had a lot of trouble keeping pages nice and pristine. had a buddy who was around back then and he said they use to spill cherry cola on the machines some times to grease it up if it was in a jam. didnt even bother cleaning because the darkened pages made your eyes less sore.
  19. looks like a kid let a cherry popsicle melt right on the side. second from right for reference
  20. this will be a very sought-after book once Ezra is in prison for his horrible crimes.
  21. My grade is 7.0-8.0, depending on if the graders had lunch yet (and what they had). Hearing word that CGC is in negotiations with Chipotle catering. I'd wait until late in the year to send the book for the best results.
