Ha - this was posted on Hisstank... thought I would share... This is a combination of both Lego and Kre-O elements...

I am thoroughly impressed with Volume 1. I opened it up about an hour ago and flipped through it. The colors seem more vivid than what I remember, but I believe that is because of the paper being used. The storytelling is still a thrill ride in many cases and the best part about issues 1 through 12 is that with the exception of a few dated references, the dialogue holds up in many places as well as the premise and plots. What surprised me is that I did not see any noticeable edits. Scarlet still lands on a guy in a Hulk costume and still the Marvel booking agent still gets them a ticket back to the Pitt. That puts my ease that issues involving the Transformers will not be omitted. I know that the Transformers reprints had some legal problems with some of their characters as well as Spider-man facing Megatron. Good to see GI Joe will not suffer the same problems.

Harvey posted a I will send it to him next !

Got it Ok- I misread the whole international thing.

I love it when we have a large turnout for a torch and pitchfork crowd.

Not for anything, but Spider-man is not a global character in so far as the Avengers are defined as the protectors of our world. If Marvel has the television rights to Spider-man then why couldn't they offer a Spider-man show on Netflix? Spider-man is traditionally a NYC based superhero, as is Daredevil and the Punisher. Raise the middle finger to Sony and interject him on TV once in awhile. At the very LEAST, have him swing by Luke Cage in the distance and have Cage ask Murdock, "What's that?" with Murdock replying, "Nothing that important... for now." Fan boys go wild. I really believe I could plot this stuff.

Please do not confuse my warning with counsel.

The only time I saw the Universal Monsters in a movie that mattered happened to have Abbot and Costello in it. To tell the truth though, I thoroughly enjoyed the Mummy movies. While they were not by any means Oscar material, they were roller coaster fun.

Congratulations. I placed a bid on this and then walked away and went out tonight fearing that I would be stupid and pick this up. I do want a pre-Robin tec and at least by my budget, a copy of this is probably the most obtainable. If anyone was going to get it. I actually am glad it was you. Congrats Peter. I am happy to see you continue to build this collection we see you assembling. It is pretty damn cool.

Ha! Throw in Danny McBride playing his usual screen persona and I would see it as well.

Agreed. While the character has diminished, the impact that the character had on the industry has not. There are too many things that "spawn money" created or influenced. I see Deadpool (at this time) a more popular and marketable character but has not had the overall impact that Spawn has. I also agree that Harley Quinn is probably the best bet out of all three, but that was never in the original question was it?

I would say Spawn had more influence as it allowed McFarlane to branch out and redefine other markets like the toy industry. McFarlane wanted to see Spawn figures on the shelves but did not like what the companies were turning out. He decided to make his own toy company. That in turn led to everything for Horror Classics to Sports Figures. Spawn has had far more of an impact than Deadpool in my opinion. When I think of Image, I think of Spawn.

I may have to start hunting them down then when Amazon throws them on sale. Considering though that they are only 1/3 of the way through the run, I would like to see a few more volumes published to have confidence that they will make it through the run. The last thing I want to see is for them to have two or three volumes to go and then all of a sudden Hasbro does not renew the license and gives it to someone else. However... I broke down and Vol 1 is on its way from Amazon.

I Pm'd Symbiotic and we were thinking that in order to best rehabilitate his image, he would participate in this thread. What do you all think? He requested that you all offer your very best 'stuff' and then after he claims a few packages, he will reciprocate.

I already have a few ideas to run by you for a sketch opportunity.

he changed his name today, old one was astridonna Thanks, I was looking for that. I could have sworn that I saw a name that started with an 'a'

That's the listing for his current auctions. Perhaps he changed his name while under the radar.

Also: par1ahh

From time to time, I complain about having sold my complete run of GI Joe and GI Joe special missions. It annoys me to no end that I got rid of them as they are truly the only comic I go back to read every now and then. I do not think it is worth it to buy them all back in high grade and have another 200 comics laying around. However, this caught my eye on Amazon and I was wondering if anyone had these and what they thought of the GI Joe Omnibus in Hardcover - The Complete Collection. They are up to publishing number 6 which will extend to Issue 61 of the main line, Special Missions 5 and Yearbook 3. They range from $35 to $50 each. If anyone has these, I would appreciate your thoughts on them. I am persuaded to start picking these up rather than recollect the original comics but am trying to weigh what I may enjoy owning more. Having both is not an option. Here is a link to volume 1 on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/G-I-Joe-Complete-Collection-Vol/dp/161377396X/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1405264397&sr=1-2&keywords=GI+Joe+complete+collection

Ok so I will call you out on it because I was one of the first to tell you to do this Kav. Call up CGC and see what it takes to do a sketch op and start doing some blanks. Submit them to CGC and get that yellow SS label done for commissions that read sketch and signed by "Kav"

Welcome to the club. I think that Batman 9 had one of the best covers of the early part of the run. What a classic cover. It has been paid homage to many times since its debut.

That leads me to my next question... How many people are voting for Kav to go away, not because they want him to, but because they are curious to see if he would follow through with it?

Hector is bringing the funny tonight. I am going to go to bed but leave you with this. Pretty soon the powers that be will determine that these pay it forward and giving tree threads are going to go the way of the mystery box threads and be heavily regulated if not shut down. I liked the holiday Christmas secret santa thing and wanted to participate in that again this year. Let's not get this stuff shut down. I am going to have another guess the grade contest and give some reading material away again. Let's not get this stuff shut down.

I do.
