Beautiful! I buy these whenever I see them. Issues 17-20 are ghosts. 

In CPV or Captain Carrot in general? I have all 20 issues that I bought off the racks as they came out as I loved the series.

I read every word of every issue.  Loved it.

Same.  Where I really learned to love Peter David as well.  But I Digress was alwats the first thing I read when I'd get my copies.

Still by far my favorite Batman movie, period.

I appreciate that I haven't spent one cent on Phase IV

Same actually (except for No Way Home...I did go see that in the theatre).

Haven't been buying much lately, but I still keep my eyes open....saw an ad yesterday (50 minute drive from my house), of 2,000 comics for $550.  The pictures weren't promising but there were a few ASMs, SSM 1 and some other titles so I figured it would be worth it based on bulk rates alone.  Met the guy at his old farmhouse his parents own, right away (the three boxes and two tote bags) I knew there wasn't 2k comics.  He was receptive and told me to go through it, as I start looking through the first tote, I see low grade ASM 300 and 101. 

I didn't bother going through any of the others boxes, I told him this is fine.  I could have definitely negotiated lower, but I didn't have time to go through them nor would I have felt right had I found some real big books after beating him up at an already good price.  Chatted for maybe another 20 minutes, left my business card then hit the road.  Went through all them yesterday, as expected the rest of the comics (about 1k total) is almost entirely bulk with a handful of maybe a few 5-10 books.  Everything that isn't pictured below is going to be bulked out dirt cheap.....the ASMs are low grade, they have a 'gritty' feel to them of being worn down from years without bags/boards.  

I'll assume you're a fellow Canadian.  Looks like you have some Canadian price variants in there!

So last night I ended up binge watching Cobra Kai season 5.  I think Disney should fire every single MCU tv writer and producer and have the whole CK team of writers and producers take over every upcoming tv show and have them run the universe a la Favreau/Filoni over at SW.  Those ten new episodes had more fun and heart than every movie and show Marvel has put out after End Game  put together.

I hope No Way Home counts officially in this phase, because ALL of it was pretty hot garbage besides (and I'm a fanboy).

Just start liking every post you can find, they might make you boardie of the year or something.

My dream!  I've already started! ;)

I'll be too busy drinking and eating raclette!

Am I considered a lurker if I've been active throughout my 19 years here and (with this post) have a hair under 2000 posts?

I don't care what anyone says, Canstantine was an amazing movie, and this comes from a huge Constantine/Hellblazer fan since from almost the very beginning.  VERY happy about this.

Herb Trimpe (and his family!) were the NICEST people...he's missed.  And I have my Captain Marvel sketch he did for me up on my wall, and I have my Godzilla 1, Hulk 182 and MSH 16 (Herb's first work!) signed by him and tucked away in my PC.  Good luck with the sale!!

And ask nicely, with good grammar and full sentences...that goes a long way I've found ;)

Although I disagree going so hard with the dislike, these details drive home the point why Ragnarok's humor worked and Love and Thunder seemed to divide the audience.

I never picked up on Ragnarok had three writers (Eric Pearson, Craig Kyle, Christopher L. Yost) and Love and Thunder was two driven by one (Taika Waititi, Jennifer Kaytin Robinson). 

I find that anything Yost works on turns to gold.  And that goes back to through his Avengers cartoon days as well.

I didn't even realize season 3 had started...really enjoy this show!

Where is Jimmers? @porcupine48. Hope he is doing well. He would straighten us all out on our French.

Miss him here…

Yeah he was in a pretty rock and roll spot the last times I remember interacting with him.  Ottawa I think?

Following that line of thinking direct editions would be reprints if the issues with UK pence copies were printed first in order to get them out first, since they needed to get on a boat to Europe.

The market always decides, and it usually decides based on supply.

And what if the Canadian price variants were actually printed first because getting them to us up here is hard in a snowstorm?  Thel ALL you other guys would own reprints!!

Same! I'm on Season 7 but dreading the final season.

MAybe it won't be so bad this time around.  And at least them actually made an actual ending (unlike so many other shows and movies).

What kind of ball park prices do you mean when you say "still not that expensive"? 

I've seen people ask and get up to $80 for some of them, though a lot of them are still well under the $20 mark, especially when offered in lots.  I love my SE 1 Alan Light reprint, and actually have it hanging on the wall with a cover homahe I comissioned a decade ago (while my real copy sits safely among my collection).

Watched it on the weekend finally.  I'm pretty forgiving...though this movie sucked (and I LOVER Ragnarok).  The best thing about the movie by far was the goats.  Made me laugh each time, while the rest of the movie made me roll my eyes constantly.

I also own a few of these Alan Light reprint books from way back in the day.  

Any idea if CGC accepts them for grading or is that a silly question because they will grade almost anything nowadays as long as they are compensated for it. 

Just wondering if any particular issue would be more highly desirable and at least worth a few dollars, or is the demad for these reprints so low that the available supply has no problem fulfilling the current demand?    

No idea what CGC would do with them.  I did notice that prices on them have gone up nicely over the past 3 or 4 years.  Still not that expensice overall though.

I think there would be a VERY decent market for high quality, true to size and printed on newsprint reprints of a lot of GA books that have fallen into public domain.  I'd be willing to pay up to $20 or so for a copy of a book like that.

And yes I already own a number of Alan Light books...they're so much fun!
