  1. I wonder why LCS's don't at least try this regarding pull lists...allow the customer the option to pre pay for new books, at even bigger than typical discount. If the shop is giving 15% off + bag and board, why not do 20% if you pre pay? No stock sitting for months waiting to be picked up while your cash is being held hostage...or worse, the pull list isn't picked up at all. Just a thought...maybe some shops already do this. I would do it to save more $.
  2. Is that All Star cover for real? This is freaky!
  3. Not only that, I'm mainly DC but Daredevil is a favorite. I didn't/don't know the Jessica Jones character at all. Every time I came across "ALIAS" I saw an artsy cover with an undefinable female face, that "MAX Explicit Content" logo and assumed it was a mature-readers adaption of... I'd read a MAX title before and thought it was horrible (Punisher, I think). So I had no interest. And I don't remember any "heat" surrounding the title until the Netflix announcement. Now I'm really looking forward to the show, but yeah, I have no clue. Edit: In my defense I point to the ALIAS logos. Somewhat similar, with TV it's the highlighted "S", Jessica Jones it's the odball "A". So I assumed Marvel had bought the rights and resurrected the TV storyline for mature-only. A dead-wrong-but-reasonable-assumpton (so I doubt I was the only one). You are not the only one...I thought the exact same thing, and even when I read the New Avengers books a few years ago, I still thought it was the TV character, since I'd never watched the show either. Funny thing is, since I assumed it for so long, it still lingers, even though I know better now. I think it doesn't help that it was a character that was retconned into continuity (as I understand it), so I don't know that much about the character to this minute.
  4. Anyone make a nice statue of Batman, looking as he did in 1939? I've always thought a statue of him as he appeared on Detective 27 would be one I would like to have.
  5. I may be in the minority, but I own an AF 15, JIM 83, TOS 39, DD 1, FF1, ST 110, Avengers 1, IH 1 and more (admittedly all low grade), but I have no slabbed books. I still like to open them up from time to time. Don't plan to ever sell or slab them...maybe, just maybe when I'm in my twilight years.
  6. At least one person really was...but I do other stuff, and don't memorize the website. Really just wanted to see if anyone else saw the trailer...didn't really give it much more thought than that.
  7. Just saw the trailer...I must admit, it looked better than I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting much. I didn't even hear the trailer was coming out, but a non comic buddy at work was playing it on his PC.
  8. Do you mind if I ask what your rate was when you had the $15k coverage? I'm just wondering what my ballpark would be?
  9. So wild...when I see Barry Smith in this pic, standing that way, it looks so much like how he would draw Conan in a profile view.
  10. DD is my favorite character, so I'm watching this show no matter how it turns out, but I'm thinking Charlie Cox looks like he could use a few more months in the weight room to play DD...or are there pics that would show otherwise?
  11. Are you freaking kidding me? ALL of those FF's in high grade???
  12. Do yourself a favor, and read the whole storyline...TPB or collect them all! Very well done, and worth the time.
  13. I'll do just that...probably tomorrow when things slow down for me. If you guys want to preview it...there is a pic in the original posting, which can be found: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7396469#Post7396469 Feel free to share your thoughts...I'm interested!
