It was a fairly good read.

I agree!

Why does everyone think phase 5 will be better?

Because it literally couldn't be worse? ;)

Not that I needed help, though showing off my X-Men 1 lubricated a first interaction with a ladyfriend a couple of years ago......

As well, I don't think I read anyone mentioning the Blackhawk logos in the JSA's plane...

Oh, that totally sucks.  Easily one of my favorite writers overall, in any medium.

Grumpy old man moment…

I would argue that with a multi-verse, there’s little point making any movies.

 

Agree completely...I feel it's ruined a lot of what the first phases have built.  I'm not a Dr. Doom fan at all either and I don't see why he's so popular overall.  Maybe Doom can see that the multiverse is the real threat and fight to end it?

I gotta admit I didn't like it very much...was hoping I would though.  And GOTG VOL. 1 is also one of my favorite MCU movies.  

I found the songs all fell completely flat, Pratt seemed like he didn't want to be there and Bautista was actually annoying.  Or maybe I'm just getting old ;)

Finally watched this last hight at home.  Was entertaining, that's for sure.  Gotta admit it was better that any of the Marvel Phase 4 stuff (besides Spider-Man, of course), even though the tone was up and down and inconsistent.  Could be interesting in the future integrating into the general DCCU.

Maybe the top end shake-up at Disney will (sooner rather than later) shake down to how the movies/shows are developed and run.

Caught up on S.4 yesterday...it's still pretty good even though I haven't figured where it's headed yet ;)

Put me down for a Restored (Purple Label) Grade of Apparent 3.5 (C-3).  Quality = Poor; Quantity = Moderate. 

I had considered a purple label as well though the unsightly scraping on a GA book like this hopefully would garner a blue label.  Another reason I posted this book here, to see what the other experts thought

It will run to I believe December 7th as the final episode.

Okay, that makes MUCH more sense!

So Infinity Inc. part 2 was the last episode ever? I watched as the episodes came out and I really enjoyed the show, though I gotta say that ending felt like it was the end of the first half of a season, with the next 8 episode arc on the way.

Thanks guys!

Just got my GI Joe 21 French Heritage back

from grading!

I have 3 copies of the Heritage edition as well.  What value wwwwwould you place on yours?  I've been trying to figure out what they're actually worth!

No other guesses on this tough one? ;)

7.0 was what I figured.

I had 7-7.5 easy until the stains.  Goes to a 5.0 I believe as well.  Nice looking book!

I should have my CPV copy hanging around somewhere...I can check the details on that issue tonight.

3.5. Not sure how the ink removal process is treated?

Same.  Technically it should grade higher actually, especially if this book could get a GA bump.  Trying to figure out the ink situation.

Well this should be a fun one.  I got this book here on these very boards 15 years ago or so, and I kinda forgot I had it!

It's so solid and nice...though it looks like at some point sine 1942 someone drew moustaches and beards in the guys on the cover, and someone has removed the ink (as well as some writing on the lower right side of the cover).

Wondering what the concensus on the grade would be with you guys!

I've always wondered, what version of Wolvie 1 did the Canadians get, before they went with the full CPV.

There's 3 or more insignia box's on issue 1, surely one of them applies to the Canadian market??

We indeed got the regular newsstand issue with the North American 60 cent cover price...CPV started at #2.  I have my copies of the whole Wolvie MS I bought off the stands at the Perette's corner store on the corner of 90th Ave. and Lasalle Boulevard. I'll send you a pic later ;)

Good stuff!!  I sold off 0.003% of my collection a year ago (UXM 1-12 and a handful of atomic age books) for a goog chunk of cash, and I still don't regret it actually.  Now I have another 150 or so keys/good books that I'll be moving soon, likely through MCS. I'm being lazy though...gotta get it done as well!

So...when should I sell my raw lower grade FF52 again?
