My first set completed! Small personal triumph! Thanks joeypost! (thumbs u

 

Very cool! I just recently read both of these, and the story was great!

Here it is in hand!

 

Welcome! Feels good, doesn't it?

BTW, what does the label note say?

Half of what I picked up yesterday from a craigslist ad. Got about 150 books for about a dollar per book

 

Great pick up Zarduzi! That NM 98 looks to be at least a 9.2-9.4!

Like the great 50 Cent said, I'm now "In Da Club". Just waiting on the book to arrive now from fellow boardie Wayne-Tec.

 

not a bad looking copy for the grade. I'll add you to the list as soon as you post a pic.

 

Came in today, once again thanks to Wayne-Tec:

Welcome!!

Great club to be in...I am still on that "high" since buying mine a few weeks ago. Love it!

Looks like mycomicshop will have a Hulk 1 in the FR/GD (1.5) range up in its June auction: http://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=83481

You don't happen to have a pic of the splash page by any chance ...would you

 

Some people here would love to see it...

Man, I wish!

My....plan was to buy it raw, read it once (and take a pic of that splash page), and then send it off for grading.

That "plan" didn't quite work out (if you saw the thread last week), so I ended up buying the book already slabbed (which was my ultimate goal anyways, so it worked out for the best).

I am just so excited to have the book!!

Well worth the fuss!

Very much so!

This arrived yesterday! My new favorite

Best part is Jack Kirby and Stan Lee signed the splash page (sorry for the crappy pic)

I'm in!!! HULK SMASH!

I just started reading Fantastic Four Essentials Vol. 3 (which covers FANTASTIC FOUR 41-63; ANNUAL 3-4) and man, this is GOOD stuff!! Wow...totally blowing away my expectations. I can see why this stuff is considered "classic".

To be honest I was never a huge fan of Kirby, but after reading a few of these issues, I am a fan! AND it's in black and white no less!

Iron Fist

Sorry we didn't meet up at the show jonjesper. I was looking forward to meeting up again. Those WD #19 were HUGE. And the prices were just stupid... or at least I thought they were. Apparently not to others.

 

The show= Planet Comicon this past weekend, yes?

I saw a WD #1 going for $600 on Saturday. Not sure on the grade but I'd say around a 9.4. I bought a FF #48 from him and THOUGHT about the WD #1 for about a minute, but that was it. My girlfriend of all people was telling me to buy it!!

Anyways, I went back by on Sunday and it was gone. I asked if he sold it (because it was a really good price IMO) and he said he pulled it and was keeping it for himself after looking up the current price. Coulda, woulda, shoulda I guess...

I was Glenn.

I still think Shane was infected by tainted zombie water around the farm. He could have killed Rich a long time ago and didn't. He changed when they got to the farm. Actually most of the others have gotten strange since they been at the farm. Just my 2 cents.

Your answer to that is in the spoilers posted a couple of pages back

I'm not clicking that. I'm not clicking that. I want to click that. I'm not clicking that.

 

It's futile to resist.

Good episode! Kinda sucks only 1 more left this season...already can't wait for Season 3!

Oh, I totally agree. personally I went from having very little knowledge about this comic to being able to identify all the printings from each other. Stronguy even discovered a way to tell first print from second print from the cover alone, something that to my knowledge had never been discovered for. I got way more than I was hoping for when I made this thread

I agree! EPIC thread.

Good work guys! Very informative and a great read.

Already posted this in the SA Hulk 1 thread but I figured it wouldn't hurt to post it here as well. I'm rather excited about this one.

 

 

Great book! I'm jealous!

Any one else think that the gun Carl took out of the saddle bag, turns up again?

 

Maybe it's used on a member of the group.

 

If you watch the preview during or at the end of Comic book Men, Rick gives Carl a gun to keep.

 

Now if you want to know what happens, click here. Warning, this Spoiler Tells All!!!!

 

 

 

2.12 'Better Angels' Description]: [/b]

 

"Lori starts a dramatic war in Episode 2.09 where she tries to convince Rick to kill Shane. Rick thinks about it but shrugs it off. After Lori sees that Rick is still not acting, she has a talk with Shane and puts into his head that if Rick wasn't around they would still be together. This makes Shane change AGAIN, (he had finally made peace and Lori ****s him up again). Lori warns Rick that Shane will probably attempt to kill him, Rick denies it and says they've made peace. Anyway Shane decides to kill Rick and lures him into the forest chasing after Randall. Of course Rick isn't stupid he realizes nothing is adding up and tries to give Shane a chance to abandon his plans. Believe it or not Rick loves Shane like a brother, anyway he finally calls Shane on it and says he knows what he's trying to do.

 

So it starts with Rick walking to Shane, they're kinda on plain land I guess outside the barn (I mean far from it, like just outside a forest, and it's moonlight). Rick says something like "so this is where you planned to do it".

 

Shane says something I can't quite make out, I think he was acting oblivious and playing stupid because Rick says something like "you've got the balls to call this what it is....murder" so I can assume that Shane was playing dumb.

 

Rick circles Shane talking about how you think if you go to the barn alone they'll believe everything you say and his ****ing story you cooked up (not exact quote, cept the ****ing part) and Shane tells him to hush up and

how he saw "those guys" (the Philly boys) were going to shoot Rick so he followed them there (where the two currently are).

 

Rick doesn't buy a word that Shane says.

 

Shane finally admits "it ain't goin to be easy, but Lori and Carl will get over you" and you can tell by the look on Rick's face that he's starting to lose his patience. Shane adds "they done it before, they just gon have to" and pulls out his gun to aim at Rick's face. Rick asks why ? Why now? He then says "I thought we tried to work this out". Shane laughs and says "we tried to kill each other!" with his gun still on Rick.

 

Shane continues to mock by saying "ya think we're just gonna forget about it and run into the sunset together?" Rick asks him "are you gonna kill me in cold blood? Screw my wife? Have my children... my children! Call yu daddy? Is that what you want?"

 

He says something else that I couldn't make out, and Shane replies something like asking him what does he know what to live for or something? I'm sorry I couldn't hear it though I could be wrong.

 

Shane talks about how Rick has no idea what he had to, and still has to live with.

Shane dares Rick to raise his gun, but Rick refuses. Shane taunts him by saying "what happened Rick, I thought you said you weren't the good guy anymore?" He continues to mock, saying that he's a better father than Rick and that he's better for Lori than Rick because he's a better man than Rick and he'll actually fight for Lori (the stuff that Rick basically told him in '18 Miles Out' Shane is twisting his words against him, and this pisses off Rick.)

 

Shane says that Rick came back and destroyed everything. Pause. He continues by saying Rick has a broken wife and a weak boy. He also adds that Rick doesn't even know how to fix it, he then pushes his gun closer to Rick and tells him to raise his gun.

 

Rick asks something like you gonna shoot an unarmed man? Pause. Rick slowly goes for his gun and then pulls it out. The two now hve their guns trained on each other. Rick tries to negotiate saying "there's a way back from this, nothing happened here, we gonna lay down our guns and walk back to the farm."

 

Shane gets even more threatening and insulting and Rick then draws his knife (the one you see him use in '18 Miles Out'), finally when Shane doesn't expect it, Rick lunges his knife into Shane's chest.

 

Even worse HERE'S A BIG SPOILER.

 

SHANE COMES BACK TO LIFE AS A ZOMBIE! - Carl shoots him, the whole thing is pretty ****ed up but I won't give too much away .

 

All this causes Rick to slowly change into a 'Shane' if you will. Believe me the show is going somewhere so crazy that Shane's death will not even be a burden, he served his purpose by helping Rick's character transform."

 

 

 

As always, thank you! Spoilers are my kryptonite....

How do you get access to these by the way? From the way that read, you see the episode early? If you don't want to give up your secret, I understand

My favorite episode of the season! I'm glad they decided to kill him off, as I hated the character. However, I think he died a martyr and his "voice" will continue to live on in the group.

A good send off for the character, IMO.

Dice you crack me up!! Good work man!

 

Beginning to think that Laurie Holden is one of the Darabont-ites who threatened to leave the show when he got cut.

 

If the description for the next show is right, mind you, they was absolutely right about "18 Miles Out," we're going to find out who this person is and I can tell you it's not Lori!

 

Description for Judge, Jury, Executioner.

 

 

 

 

[2.11 'Judge, Jury, Executioner' (brief) Description]:

 

"Synopsis: After the fight between Rick and Shane in Episode 10, they finally make peace and Rick sides with Shane causing Dale to worry that the group is losing its humanity; Carl's actions have unintended consequences that gets Dale killed.

 

As Dale is being eaten alive, the walker rips open his stomach and pulls out his guts before they kill it so Dale's insides are hanging out. (He is in the mid-season trailer where Shane is smashing a guy's head in with a shovel. The figure with the ripped open shirt on the ground - that's Dale. Also, notice how they don't put Dale in that trailer? Not once? Well, he doesn't make an appearance in Episode 10, and they probably don't want to give away anything from Episode 11.)

 

The poor guy is in sooo much misery and pain that he asks to be put down.

 

Daryl is pointing a gun at Dale's blood covered face, and before he pulls the trigger he says "Sorry brother"."

 

If that spoiler is true!! Damn, I'm such a sucker for spoilers...I can't help it!

Anyways, last night's episode was pretty good. I really hope Shane and Rick squashed their differences...but I don't think that's the case. I think it would have been a nice little twist if Rick would have left Shane in the bus; but alas, Rick showed he was the better man and came back and saved his . Shane owes Rick his life now, IMO.

Does Lori get into that car wreck in the comic books?

Just curious to see if the writers are going to have her miscarry.

Hi guys new member here. I've just gotten back into collecting after a bit of a hiatus. I can finally afford to buy some of the books I have always wanted!

 

Here's a couple I just bought recently:

 

 

 

 

Hopefully I can contribute some more

 

You guys take it easy

 

Sam

Great books! I still need to get these 2 bronze keys myself...

Welcome to the boards, Sam!

I got nothing this time around, but finally got my Oct winnings in hand.

Quite a miswrap, but the price sure came down from earlier this year.

 

Love this issue! One of the best splash pages of all time, IMO: Spiderman getting shot! I thought that was so cool as a kid....really set the tone for the story.
