Awesome room Webhead! Really nicely done, tidy and themed well

I am just about to start my room in a couple weeks- I love looking through this thread!

Brock was a pleasure to deal with!

Super fast communication, very accomodating, fantastic shipping methods... super happy. Will certainly deal with again!!!

Ernie

im not much of a sketch cover guy but Castrillo's work is just too freaking nice to pass up!!! I finally got all the booms ive bought back from CGC so a HUGE thanks to AC, SpeedyD and comix4fun

 

These are EASILY 5 of my favorite slabs now!

 

Wowwwweeeee!

Anthony is the man! Amazing stuff!

Katie Cassidy

I thought it was okay. Certainly had that WB hokey feel to it, which I don't like, but I kept reminding myself it wasn't some summer blockbuster and it's not on HBO/AMC/whatever.

I'll watch again

Can I join?

Newly acquired:

Just purchased a couple books (one raw and one cgc) from Mike in one of his most recent sale threads and both came very quickly and extremely well packaged! Mike was a pleasure to deal with and I encourage anyone who hasn't had the change to deal with him in the future.

That's too bad Mark. I dealt with you once before and it was nothing short of excellent. Really too bad to lose one of the good guys. Hope you reconsider.

Finished for now! Just need a cat for company.

I am in the process of starting my own man-cave so I always show the fiance pictures from this thread to get ideas (and see what she will put up with) and her exact email back was:

I love how he has those on display instead of the ugly boxes.

This is my fav room so far

haha so there ya go... Awesome stuff!

pfft, just means it's all downhill from here?

Anyone else somewhat bothered by the fact the Governor on the tv show looks nothing like the Governor in the comic?

, not the biggest deal but I wasn't super excited when I saw him.

Here's a couple more ebay grabs.

 

Daredevil was presented in full-red since the beginning in Italy as well.

(this is a stock image, my copy is low grade)

I haven't seen that one before. I like the red costume on the yellow background.

Being that Daredevil is my favourite character and I am Italian, I suddenly really want that

I'll probably upgrade this at some point, but for now, count me in:

Thanks Doug.

 

 

That is an excellent 3.0!

Thanks! Yeah, it presents ridiculously well. What hurts the grade is the back cover has some water damage or something on the lower corner... probably drops it down a grade or even 2. Otherwise, she's about as clean and sharp a 3.0 as you can find! (in my opinion)

Not the best grade/copy but it's a damn pricey book

Thanks Doug.

Sure, why not post it. Got this from you Doug

if Walking Dead was a fad then it would have disappeared already. Find me another recent comic book title that has a tv show, variant mania, etc. This has some legs.

Spawn had a movie, a gazillion variants, countless comic spin offs (i.e,. Medieval Spawn, Curse of the Spawn, Sam & Twitch, etc), a rated R television show/cartoon, and a ridiculous amount of toy lines.

The last 10 years popularity haven't been even close to the first 10 years.

Any predictions on when or even if the walking dead price bubble will burst?

 

After s3 if it is no good?

 

As s3 starts because everyone will bring their comics to market hoping to cash in?

 

its crashing now?

 

I dont know if any of those are true but opinions would be interesting.

There are slight chinks in the armor beginning now.

The Walking Dead #100 variant covers made a few long-time fans upset that they had to go out of their way to buy multiple copies to keep their collection complete.Some of these variants went for hundreds on Ebay!

Another thing I noticed for a good few months between January to about this June Walking Dead dominated the Amazon top twenty graphic novel list. This is not the case anymore. When we check the list this morning we find that most of the Walking Dead graphic novels have fallen out of the top twenty to be replaced by Batman graphic novels.

Yes Batman is now the king of graphic novels according to Amazon!

Does this mean Walking Dead is dead?

of course not but it is not at the mania it was around May.

Could Batman now replacing Walking Dead as the most dominating graphic novel seller on Amazon started the beginning of the end for Walking Dead?

I don't think that makes any sense at all to be honest.

At SOME point everyone has it and it drops off the charts. That doesn't mean they like it any less.

It's just like when a new album from a popular band comes out... or new movie everyone's been waiting for. It dominates the charts for a while then eventually it goes away. Why? Because everyone's seen/bought it.

My friends were buying WD trade paperbacks like crazy the last year. Now they all have it (love it). They aren't buying it any more. Doesn't mean the shows/comic is going downhill. Doesn't mean anything really.

This is something I've battled with myself.

I'll admit, I was late to the party. I started reading the comic around issue #68-70 (about a year before the TV series) and back then, I saw TWD #1 at comic shows for $350-500. I wish I had jumped at it then.

I have a hard time bringing myself to spend $800+ on a modern book that I feel, at some point, will inevitably slow down... I look at Spawn (not the best comparable obviously as there was over a million printed of number one) but the characters popularity now compared to what it was 10 years ago isn't even in the same ballpark.

I've noticed the comic is starting to wane a little bit. It's still good, and I love the series, but I don't have the same "oh my god, I can not wait until the next issue" that I had before.

As many have pointed out, I don't think this bubble will ever "burst." I'm just not sure it is a $1K book either.

Holyyyyy that right there is the best mail call I've ever seen, ever. Congrats!

Daredevil is, once again, the best book going! Great to see all the DD love here!

I have a #1 but I need to upgrade mine. Looking for a 7.0 at least (I currently have a raw 4.0-5.0).

My scanner's busted and home computer is almost on the fritz, so I borrowed the ebay scans, but these all came in recently:
