  1. Here's the rub on variants... (1) They are created to promote primary markets (comic book store sales to readers). (2) They increase exposure to the work. (3) They are cool. (4) Not created for secondary markets. (5) Mixed feelings on the boards because we are the secondary market. (6) I like some, so I buy them. Some I don't, so I don't. (7) If you don't like it, don't buy it. (8) But, overall they serve a need to increase exposure in the primary market, which is good for everyone (promotes: reading, collecting, etc.) My
  2. I think Madder thinks he knows him. That was the impression I got. Need to re-read because I FLEW through it
  3. Andy: Looks like it is implying a kid abuse scandal at a children's home - Madder and the Killer know each other. What if The First was there as we, but chose a different path?
  4. I'm not slamming DF - they have a good service, just long waits - but you'd be better off buying a few books from Midtown or TFAW (or both). You'll hit a 9.8. If you don't I'll really be surprised. Yeah, that 6.0 was garbage (bedlam 1 with creasing, bad cover scratching, etc. looked like someone 'keyed' it). I gave it away as a reader.

That's the best advice I can offer -
  6. Midtown is hit or miss. I've had great experiences and bummer experiences and really it's about 50/50. Have gotten 9.8's all the way down to 6.0ish for new books (shameful a few books I got - they new they were jacked). It's a dice roll.
  7. I would think you could get a 9.8 out of five (could be one), but at the low price of new releases, ten doesn't hurt too bad.
  8. I think Cobra and Viper should battle like Pokemon! Hey Viper.... You hanging in there brother?
  9. That looks like the last set of numbers I saw (thumbs u
  10. Admitted Cannibal. Line up against the wall...
  11. But seriously, someone knows up here (don't remember)
  12. Two Bagels walk into a bar. One Bagel says, "I'm hungry." The other Bagel says, "So eat something!" What ever happened to that other Bagel?
  13. Correct - the preview covers were kewler.
  14. Deal is off.... Times up. Nice wedding plans bro.
