While I have avoided the boards since they were changed to the horrible way they currently look, I popped on after doing a search for the name Herb Dolph. I just bought the Fantastic Four 34 which has Mr. Dolph's name stamped on the first page last Sunday at NYCC from High Grade Comics. Almost a decade after the first, and even the last post, this thread became relevant to me. Blazingbob, I assume you were the gentleman I dealt with when buying a batch of 10 Fantastic Four books and 2 Captain America books. I am glad to hear that Mr. Dolph reached out to you and hope that almost a decade later he is still in good health. I wish both of you the best. Respectfully, Jay Ward

You are welcome.

The one to the right is the Deluxe version and if you look at the top left you will see that word underneath the word X-Men. The middle one is the newsstand Deluxe version, which I believe is the only version the newstands got. The one on the left is the regular non-deluxe version. The difference is that the Deluxe versions, which I believe there are more of than regular, have better paper quality.

I can see people that preordered that issue at $3.99 not being happy about finding out that they are getting charged more for it. Oh well, time will tell how well this works out for Marvel.

It might just be my phone, but could you check the link please? I get an error message when I click it.

I would not bother to try to obtain a 1:1,000 variant, but I am curious about the $9.99 price tag mentioned for Amazing Spider-Man 25. I checked the websites for both Midtown Comics and Mile High Comics and they are both listing it as $3.99. I think that might have been misread, possible Marvel was charging store owners $9.99 specifically for the 1:1,000 variant (which would ridiculous since they should get that free considering they ordered 1,000 of the regular cover to sell at the $3.99 price), or possibly misread another way.

Can you explain what this means? I have no idea based on the posts above your post who you are talking about or how you were ripped off.

It is not Dark Horse. Vault Comics was where Mr. Daniel stated all of his titles were going to be, although according to the previews on Midtown Comics website Atoll is being released by Creative Mind Energy.

Welcome to the boards. Good luck building your collection.

Okay, thanks. Looks like I got them all then.

I just want to make sure, the fourth cover was the blank right? I hope I did not miss anything.

Wow, Snikt!1988 is selling his copy. Someone please buy it and reveal the mystery as to who te third person that signed it is, because that is out of my price range.

I definitely agree and while I have not had this problem with him, I have paid Jim Steranko almost as much and had him insist on using black in a dark area while I was asking him to use a red paint pen that I was handing him. Due to this, I will not get more signatures from him in the future.

I think the New 52 Harley Quinn 0 had quite a lot of names on it as well. I do not own either, so unfortunately I am of no help other than to point out the HQ0.

This is good news for me. I have two invoices that were received on 4/29/16 that have been sitting in graded for awhile. Maybe they will get mailed out soon. Hopefully all the reholders will be taken care of soon and the turn around times will start to come back down.

I bought a blue label 9.8 when it was new for $300 and cracked it out to get double signed. I am almost positive mine was the first SS on the census. I am glad I don't sell things because this is one the cases of where a first to market will not be the highest price ever paid.

I am hearing a lot of good things about this title, so I just bought issue 1 off of eBay and placed an order with Midtown Comics for issues 2 and 3 as well as a pre-order for 6. I will get 4 and 5 as they come out. I am hoping I enjoy it as much as everyone else is.

Agreed. Does Saga have a stated final issue ? No, that has never been said. However, here is a Brian K. Vaughn quote from I believe January of 2014: "I know exactly how the story ends, down to the last page, but I don’t know exactly how long it will take to get there. It’s a long one, that’s for sure." I think he also once made a joke about it being one issue longer than The Walking Dead.

Since you never responded to me in the thread you created about this same thing, I will sum up what I wrote there. Yes, we should because we have comics that are potentially being crushed within the slab. Please go back to the thread you created and read through my full posts with pictures. Again, I am happy that you have not had issues but had you received a comic that has a big dent or "wave" in the middle you might want it out of there and into a safe slab as soon as possible as well.

The original Electro was a male. But he's still alive, correct? I haven't even seen the character, but I was guessing it was a female. You are correct, he is alive. I assume they will explain the switch later on, but who knows. I am sure it is just one more move in Marvel's plans for an entirely female universe. Maybe it will be written really well and most of us will like it, but I doubt it.

The original Electro was a male.

Fall is still awhile away, but I will look forward to any good news. This book has an excellent creative team and I will buy future issues whenever they come out.

Did Neal Adams work on that issue?

That's an impressive result, but I don't expect to see many like it soon (although my CGC 9.8 would like to believe otherwise) Unless I am looking at this wrong, the Shadowman listing ended unsold.

The only thing worth watching on Cinemax is the Knick. What about reruns of Strike Back? I never get tired of that show.
