I really wish (for your own good) you would remember that you started reading comics for their entertainment value and not becasue you can sell them and make a few bucks here and there. Some of the best works in the history of comics are four issue mini series (e.g., the Dark Knight Returns) or one shots (e.g., the Killing Joke) or limited series (e.g., the Watchmen). I'm glad your ban is over. My ban? What are you talking about? Your idiotic behavior had your threads removed, not me or my comments. As such, you were disciplined - not me. Furthermore, your false and misleading statements are highly inappropriate. Try and think before you speak and refain from making accusations when you have no basis for the same. :cry:

+1, really nice.

Anyone know the cost of shipping Ryans slab to Canada?

4 issue mini. I'll pass.

Sorry Jerry - all from your gallery or where - I'm a bit lost with your "all" comment?

Thats fair enough - if you have read it and do not see why its very popular, then thats your call. At least you have read it!

Holy ! (to the guy with the 10.0!!) Lets see the GA guys etc call this a bubble!

Hey Jim, I'm in negotiations via Kara for a piece in that story arc - would you be willing to PM me a ball park figure for the TM OA?. Cheers. I'm waiting for a CA piece of OA that my kids were good enough to buy for fathers day - nowhere near as good as TM (sorry Charlie) but stoked all the same. Your collection is looking fantastic mate - keep the pics coming, we all want to see it!

Why? To flip it of course! Silly Actually, I am sure there are people that are convinced that we have not reached the peak yet. So why wouldn't they buy to flip. I imagine you asked the same thing when it was $1000 ..... Silly. You are missing the point. Someone has to be buying it from the 'flipper.' Therefore, to ask the question again and in another form, is this the perceived 'real estate' of the comic book industry? They just keep buying and selling, because the price will 'NEVER' fall, right? If that doesn't say speculator hype to anyone here, nothing will. BTW, to answer a PM, I am only 35, nowhere near 50! Kind Regards, 'mint' Just a question - have you read it my friend and if so, did you enjoy it?

Jim,you rule. Awesome.

As an avid TWD collector, I can only comment on first hand experience. I regularly take 'reader' copies into work - I have possibly said this before - and the reaction is always the same. Why is an older bloke reading a comic? What is it? Oh, was it a comic first? Can I borrow it? It was brilliant! How come Shane is dead? What! The story is different?? WHERE CAN I GET THESE? That is always the last question. Its younger co-workers too - average age 24 up - as well as top line professionals - one anaethetist is collecting an entire CGC run (swine!), and various surgeons etc are happily reading the TPBs. These in turn get passed onto their families. Now this is just one hospital department, in one of 30 hospitals, in one of 100 towns, in one Australian state. Imagine the interest around the world. Its new,fresh,exciting and relevant. And there are still only 7200 (the exact figure btw) copies of first print #1 ever printed. I imagine some have been lost forever. There will always be a very bouyant market for this graphic novel. This is how its going to be $ wise. No bubble, just the simple fact that a hell of a lot of people want a scarce book. The older age comic collectors should be grateful really as a few, not a lot, but a few are actually buying other titles as well. It just adds up to more people coming back into comics. Thats got to be good for all of us right?

Anyone seen this - deleted scenes from the show including a return to Vatos (mexican gang seen in season 1) - fascinating viewing. http://dailydead.com/watch-another-deleted-scene-from-the-walking-dead-season-2-blu-raydvd/

The DF in the title means Dynamic Forces and the listing is for a regular Walking Dead #100 CGC 9.8. Dynamic Forces was pre-selling Walking Dead #100's Graded CGC 9.8. Midtown Comics must have had some kind of deal with them as they were selling all the different Walking Dead #100's that Dynamic Forces was offering for sale on their website. Thanks!

What if its actually a 9.55?

Must have slabbed a lot then. I hope you are right because if Kirkman starts adding extras 'down the track' then it will kill the book. Thanks mate.

Anyone know what the hell this is?? A cgc (whatever that means)..extra-long #100? This is a step too far if its a re-issue with extra content. Will be buying 1 regular copy only from now on. Or have I got this wrong? Is it a 9.8 slab or something? Answers welcome please! http://www.midtowncomics.com/store/dp.asp?PRID=DF+WALKING+DEAD+%23100+CGC+_1226966

Not when the number of flippers of issue one exceed the number of buyers of current issues, but the number of people buying number one for four figures. Might be sooner than you think. Not everybody that buys the compendium is even remotely interested in owning a thousand dollar comic. Good point. $1000 issues take a lot of the fans out of the market. I don't see many old school collectors dropping that kind of coin for a new series when they can pick up some relatively rare bronze age keys in 9.8 for that $$$. And thats the crux right there. A few collectors of older comics are getting royally pissed that a 'modern' can command so much money. Its simple. Quite a few people nowadays find those older comics plain boring. Most moderns contain dialogue and storylines that would be considered obscene/immoral/add your own term, back then, but are relevant to how society is now. So younger people find relevance with characters in modern books but couldn't give a rats-behind about some guy who looks like a lizard (or whatever). The only exception is Batman, as he has been remade into a character for the 2010's - the last 3 films were masterpieces as stand alone movies,but as a triogy, unsurpassable. With the exception of Iron-Man I have found the Marvel Films as exciting as paint drying. Next-up - a talking Racoon. Really? Please. How many times has an older character died?? Unless they are a zombie, in moderns,its just once. At least collectors and sellers of modern comics don't go onto other age forums and be disrespectful about things those people collect. If TWD bombs - so be it. I would never go onto another 'age' forum and be so classless as to basically hope someones hardwon collection would go down the toilet.

WTF? No they won't - more popular than Friends, ER, whatever? You must be joking. It hasn't even made its way off late nights on Fiver in the UK yet, and there's a decent fanbase of the comics here for the show to leverage. On cable dude, on cable - as it did for AMC. Its not in BBC teritory yet!

Very well thankyou, and today improved the health and well being of at least 9 people. Also was part of the team that saved a mother and unborn child after a car-crash. See - thats what happens if you ask people about their day! Sometimes these little clappy faces are not enough. Good work fella (thumbs u Why thankyou my good man!

We aren't - nowhere near. Season 3 and 4 will set viewing records around the world. The next 2 years will be a ride and a half. After that is anyones guess. I'm keeping my run for as long as I love the comic/show - when that ends I will have a think.
