I had it at one point... but I think I deleted it last year as I started what is now a year into organizing and deleting files i felt I no longer needed.

And she must still be around then too...

That makes sense then. I know the basics and figured out what he did... just always curious as to how it was discovered and how it even happened to begin with.

@greggy smuggled out of the North for me...

So Dad and Son is still here but Red Hood? So how does the old name still exist?

Lol don’t know if you are being serious but I did try a version of that with this polishing pad I had... it’s too small though

Like a pendant

Oh wow... I remember he was banned btu was allowed to complete a deal or two... When did that happen... ? In the rims thread he mentions that he is 56 in 2009.... Too young...

Conditionfreak I remember a bunch more over the last few years. Is he across the street?

Very good point. Going even deeper that that, it was the licensing of those rights that allowed Marvel to stay in business. Marvel was about to go bankrupt and the only thing they had left was to license out their characters for use.

I have to wonder if any old time mods are following along and getting a chuckle as they walk down memory lane.

So many of the newer people probably don't realize how great all of this is. For starters... there was Granito https://comicsalliance.com/rob-granito-scam-artist/ who even artists were angrily confronting at shows. Then there was Red Rocks...

Anyone else ever laugh if they hear that someone introduce themselves as 'Stu'? I was at a conference last year and when someone introduced themselves as "stu" I giggled.

Explain that one to the n00bs - they missed out on that stuff in the same way we missed out on 2002-20010 hijinks.

Someone once offered me a book once with a heavy fade for about 30% off guide for the grade. I still declined. Getting the faded book would have saved me about $1500-$1800. There is a reason he could not sell it. A dead horse might be free but it still isn't going to get you anywhere.

I used to think the same way but someone changed my mind to that. I am merely repeating his argument. In the MCU Peter is a freshman or sophomore in HS. Tony Stark is a genius, billionaire, playboy, and philanthropist. He is a celebrity. It would make sense that Peter idolizes him especially once they retconned Peter's first appearance to be in Iron Man 2 when he is the kid in the mask. Peter as a tech guy would gravitate toward a father figure tech guy as shown in the hug scenes. Now is it a departure from the comic? That is definitely true. However it wasn't really a stretch to me in the MCU. Basically you have a kid who lost his first two father figures and realizes that Tony Stark the celebrity, inventor, Avenger has an interest in him and his future. In fact, as we saw in Homecoming as well as Far From Home, kids idolize Stark. I can appreciate that you didn't like it, but from a narration perspective, it wasn't unbelievable. I definitely preferred that angle as it shows a humility to Peter Parker rather than if they had make Peter a 'typical teenage wisecracking know it all." Venom? I have not been able to get through it yet so I will reserve judgement once I see the whole thing. From what I have seen though, I am not impressed. Into the Spider-verse? That was one of the best animated Superhero movies I have seen in a very long time. When it comes to animated movie the litmus is Disney. As far as storytelling and animation I believe it to be on par with some of the best films that Disney has put forth in both the modern era.

What to doooo what to doooo ah this is why my eBay practices are so strict... you all complain about buying and selling comics... you haven’t lived until you sell women’s jewelry on eBay!

Will someone finally PM me the story behind this... no one talks about it in public

Wait... isn’t there a Hepkat on the boards? Is that related to this backstory or a separate entity all together ?

🤦🏻‍♂️

You know you are offering advice almost 17 years too late before there were dating sites let alone “apps”

I didn't know they were doing THAT with the chatbots I thought it was in jest... if they are serious then seriously they need to get jobs or something... I do laugh at that though but not for the reason you think... It seems that anytime Sony does something that someone does not like they bring the wrath to a level 10. Remember how upset North Korea was over "The Interview" ?

All 500 pages of this still make me laugh ..

@awakeintheashes OMG... I was trying to remember that guy's name... Upon being asked how he got his name: Things like this were cringe worthy to read... The time, I drove the tour manager of the Van Halen and he gave me sage advice about my relationship with Julia Roberts...

I don't think that... Fan Toxicity to me is the nonsense that people gave Brie Larson and basically Star Wars Fans who complain that their childhood was ruined by prequels and that Last Jedi has ruined their lives. Fan Toxicity is what people did online to that woman that played Rose in Last Jedi... that was disgusting... they should be ashamed of themselves or perhaps be hit by cars and be put in the hospital for a few months. I would like to see the Snyder cut of Justice League just out of curiosity. I don't think DC will release it because it may actually be better than the disjointed product made across the visions of two directors.
