Sorry for the ignorance but I'm not here that often... What's with the Valiant comeback? Is it a movie/tv thing or just nostalgia?

I actually liked it

Dollar signs pure and simple. TV show = good book, No TV show = bad book. Sadly most people think that way around here. it's been a great read all along in my opinion.

Speedmaster is actually a reference to a printing press that I run - Helidelberg Speedmaster 74.... Just sayin'

Lance Armstrong probably ended up growing extra testicles due to all the drugs he was putting in his body. Technically he didn't "win" anything. He's a drug cheat.

Someone should run up to Leifeld and kick him dead in the beehive That's an awesome sigline right there

I found it pretty shocking and pointless when Madder was slitting a childs throat in #1 . It felt like it was shock for shocks sake, Way too much for me and I love horror genres and hard core gore. Just uncalled for in my book. Way too much dialogue also IMO.

you really don't need a spoiler alert on a books premise that came out a long time ago.

Exactly... most comic book readers wouldn't know or care about pressing and wouldn't even know what it involves.

Is it mainstream or just between hardcore collectors?

Why do you think a show is coming? You can't post based on a "feeling". It needs to be more concrete than that.

Yes it is. I haven't seen resurrection, but I think it's funny (and sad) they ripped this from the comic. Resurrection is a great show. One of the best out there and it's not failing. You guys should check it out because it's well worth a look.

Yeah you're probably right. Where the hell do these people come from?

People used to say that about me. Yep. I'm the new whipping boy. And, I relish my role. I chuckle at some of your posts, but my eyes start to glaze over when I see your avatar and I have a problem with attention as it is. Ok now THIS I understand. I'm outta here. Until now I've never seen someone on these forums post 100 times a day. It's insane... My prediction is that Kav will one day get into a boardie disagreement and get a strike and be sent on a holiday - it's inevitable if history repeats itself (and it usually does on the CGC boards)

No hate. Just people who got plssed off when the TV show wasn't picked up. The quality of the book hasn't changed.

All modern books die - speculator wise anyway, after movie or tv rumours die down. 90% of them never make it. #1 still sells for a decent price though.... considering.

Who's keen on the new Resurrection series starting soon? Very Revival like and it looks like it'll be good.

Because Five Ghosts has already come and gone and won't see any action unless its adapted to another medium. When you constantly are posting how many copies of a book you've sold and for how much you DO come across as a pump and dumper. The word constantly is hyperbole. I went back 25 pages of posts in this thread and I mentioned 3 times how many copies I have sold. Based on the number of posts I have made in this thread, the term constantly does not apply. 3 times too many... No one cares.

........I feel the same way about super heros Yeah... Spider-man, Superman, Batman, Wolverine etc. aren't marketable commodities.... Great comparison

100% correct. If there was a Movie/TV show announcement for bedlam everything would change overnight. This seems to drive prices and interest more than anything these days.

Show cancellation killed secondary market sales pretty quickly. Happens to most books though. Still a great book nonetheless...

I never understand the rush to throw cash away. Sure, if the book/movie is rubbish - take what you can get - RIPD is the best example of that - I'm happy to get $10 tbh. The film stank. However with other Books, It has to be better to wait surely, and let the readership grow? Peter Panzerfaust, Saga and Revival are good examples, $400, $100 and $45 respectively. I'm more than happy to turn a $18 commitment (book + slabbing+ postage) into $45+ any day of the week. I have listed some EoW, but at my price, and if they don't sell, I'm in no rush. People are very canny to snap up these CGC issues for $18 while the glut is on. Next year you would hope after 12 issues, this should be a steady $40 - $50 book all day long. $18 to slab? super duper dealer discount? at non fast track, im at 14.40 plus $5 invoice and around $20 return shipping fedex. im looking at $20 per to break even, not even counting the price of the book. $18 even with return shipping to aus? Depends whether you buy your books from the U.S. and have them directly submitted for you then sent back to Australia - that's the cheapest option. But you still get charged for that. If you get them pressed there's obviously a charge also. I'd have to make at least $28 to break even here in Aus.

I have seen and heard this a hundred times before but for different books. How can you say it's going to be a hit? Holding and accumulating only fuels speculation. Have to agree with this... no offense but it's like a broken record. Do yourself a favour and relax from the speculation.

Received around 10 modern books in excellent condition. Perfectly packed and sent to me here in Australia!

Hands down the best Punisher. (thumbs u Good excuse to post the Evel Knievel book again Hands down the best signed book ever....
