just back from LSCC, via Rich Henn my favorite Marvel title

Super FAST shipping and the comics were packaged VERY well.

Got my magazines back today, as well. Guardians of the Galaxy assemble! MP #4 - 1st Starlord / MP #7 - 1st Rocket Raccoon

Good deal! I think had it ended tonight / tomorrow there would have been a last minute snipe. You are right about high grade.

Modern fast track: Received 4/8 Still listed as received as of 4/12 They have not been changed to verified even after 4 business days.

The reasons why the series works for me: Yorick's motivation / growth / maturity feels true. (especially if you think about the 6 year timespan between 2002 - 2008) In the final arc, BKV gives Yorick everything he wants and then takes them away. He is left with the one friend he started the adventure with. (Yorick's idea of his and Beth's love that he had been holding unto for 6 years was not what he thought. His final moments with 355.)

(from someone who just read it last year) Now your desire for a #1 9.8 SS kicks into overdrive. Then it will become a desire for OA.

re: Saga / Manhattan Projects appeal Saga (#605 in Books) > Manhattan Projects (#2,360 in Books) on the current Amazon sales chart. Saga (October 10th) / Manhattan Projects (September 18th)

EoW is not going to reach Saga's market saturation.

A new addition to my SS family...

The newest addition to my SS family... From ECCC, via Rich Henn

Twins! via ECCC, thanks to Rich Henn

Special thanks to Rich Henn for making sure these guys arrived home safe & sound from ECCC. 1. Conan #24 'NUDE' Variant purchased on the boards as a 9.8 SS previously signed by Cary Nord & Tony Harris signed at ECCC by Kurt Busiek & Dave Stewart 2. The Boys #1 signed at ECCC by Garth Ennis & Darick Robertson

Graded/Quality Control: 3/22/13 (13th business day) Status : unchanged : (17th business day) Status : unchanged : (19th business day) This was me too. ECCC? Except today...mine changed to shipped.

I think the episode was mediocre. Hopefully the Govenor meets Negan on the road. Better yet, Phillip becomes Negan.

First Saga, now EoW? That stinks.

Anyone know where I can pick up some East of West OA? Also, anyone going to Wondercon tomorrow able to find out for me? Nick recently created a Tumblr which his personal website auto forwards too. Unfortunately, it lacks a way to easily communicate through. I tried asking him via Twitter, but received no reply.

Since this thread is rarely about Moderns Heating Up... I will offer my opinion. Larry is a nice guy who likes to support artists (mostly indy) he likes by providing them additional work (income) that can be published and that they can sell. He also runs a business that has multiple comic stores. He combined the two to create a way to generate awareness of these artists / titles and to increase sales in his store.

That is why I only picked up Phantom #2's OA, as it is literally the sister image to #1. I think the concept was good, just too many characters people don't care about enough to want the variant with them on the cover.

Arrived today. This satisfied two of my 2013 goals. Batman New 52 OA - CHECK Joker drawn by Jock - CHECK

This thread has more drama than an episode of Downton Abbey

Me too. Some are slowly being marked as 'shipped' as the ECCC SS (pre)sales threads started popping up yesterday.

Makes me even happier I ordered this before the rush...Crystalized Gorilla FTW!
