  1. Wolverine 1-4, I loved that mini-series as a kid. I wasn't a huge Wolverine fan but that character with Frank Miller at the height of his superpowers at Marvel and Claremont writing, it's a slam dunk for me.
  2. Comicpaloozza 2020 has been cancelled. Not a huge surprise but a bummer nonetheless. Here is the email they sent earlier today: To Our Friends, After careful consideration, and with great disappointment, we have decided to cancel Comicpalooza 2020. We held out hope that we could deliver a great event as planned to the fans. We have looked at venue availability on later dates, considered alternative locations, and discussed a modified show for 2020, but the situation is too unpredictable. Although we are hopeful the social distancing measures being taken locally, and throughout the world, will mitigate the threat of COVID-19 well before our original times at the end of May, uncertainty still persists and the health and safety of our community is of the utmost importance. Instead, we will turn our attention to creating a superior Comicpalooza fan experience in 2021, May 21-23. Additionally, we assessed several options for our attendees and vendors who have already made purchases for this year. We don’t take your trust in us lightly. In lieu of providing options that delay the process we believe the best and swiftest course of action is to refund everyone. If you’ve made a purchase, no immediate action is required by you. In the next few days you should receive a confirmation email from Growtix indicating that your refund has been processed. It will take another 7-10 business days for you to receive the money in your accounts. We understand that banks are backlogged and this could take longer than usual, so please be patient. If you do not receive your confirmation email in a timely manner or the refund posted to your account, please contact Growtix at support@growtix.com. Growtix will ensure they’ve taken the appropriate steps and, if necessary, will reach out to their bank on your behalf. If you do not feel like you’re getting the proper response, you can always email us at info@comicpalooza.com. We are deeply saddened by this turn of events but are looking forward to next year. Please be safe, stay informed, and make good choices. We’ll see you soon. ~Your Comicpalooza Team
  3. For those that don't know this is one of the biggest events held in Dallas every year. With the NBA and NHL cancelling the rest of their season, I can't see Dallas allowing any events in the city with mass gatherings. Unless the COVID-19 takes a drastic turn for the better I can't imagine FED being held at with the current dates.
  4. I wanted to take a moment and say thanks to Chris (ComicBookDallas) for another great show. I was at the show for a few hours Saturday and did a walk through to pick up a sketch from Bob Layton on Sunday. By noon on Saturday the sales floor looked pretty busy and on Sunday afternoon there were more people walking around than I expected. Joe Giella had a line at his table the whole time I was there Saturday and again on Sunday. Bob Layton looked busy at his booth as well as Al Milgrom. I did venture by Monster's Lair Comics and picked up a nice Strange Tales 159 from Mysterio. Looking forward to July's show already.
  5. This just bit me big time, Bought a book off the boards from one of our friends north of the border and when the transaction went through I noticed it was nearly 5% more than I anticipated. Went through the user agreement and found it after about 10 minutes a 4.4% conversion fee tacked on. This will definitely impact my buying from non-us sellers in the future.
  6. There was an Amy Pascal interview posted this week where Sony is still interested in Black Cat /Silver Sable movie. Prolly a good move to hold on to it see where market goes.
  7. It would be great if Jim Shooter does his breakdown of Kirby’s artwork in JIM 112 again and it was recorded and posted with his permission. It was fascinating stuff.
