Why is it dropping? Easy - I recently bought one! Which book would you like me to ruin next.....

Yes, but the sword rejected him. Dane Whitman only becomes the Black Night after Nathan Garret tells him to seek it out and use it to restore the family honour. I think thats how I remember it.

What with The Black Knight in the Eternals - maybe Garrett will feature in a Giant-Man/Wasp movie?

That is a very good question. Debut of Nathan Garrett in very early Giant-Man/Wasp team up and one of the first duo's 'big' baddies. It should, but how much will depend on if there is any relationship/link between Whitman and Garrett in the Eternals movie - if any at all. I would be very suprised if all 3 books didn't benefit but by how much and for how long will slowly reveal itself.

Anyway - down in OZ we had a Marvel display pop up in one of the CBD train stations. Took ages to get pics as it was free and most people were under 30. Thought it was kinda cool, and a nice wander for 10 minutes.

You kinda need to read the series to get the gist of it but this reduced me to tears every time. Issue #5

Not consummated - apparently knocking one out whilst playing an online porno super-freak game with your as yet unseen wife doesn't legally count. Who knew?

Found a job, working to pay for passport and transport. THEN he's going to meet 2 cyber-based sex-obsessed sisters with super-powers, one of which is incredible flexibility. If it's true, I doubt he will be back for quite some time. Or, he will wake up in an alley in Queens missing both kidneys. 50/50 in my book. But yeah, apparently he's working.

Agreed. Plus other countries are 'getting into' comics. The Australian market is red-hot. I can't find books in the wild for cheap for love nor money currently. Go to any market and there are 3-4 stalls with large numbers of sub 30 yrs of age buyers after what you guys classify as drek. Show someone an Avengers #1 CGC 1.5 and they go nuts for it. Netflix has bought stuff like The Umbrella Academy, the Daredevil/Jessica Jones/Luke cage etc etc - and Australians are buying the cheaper back issues and slowly the keys in low grade. Alias #1 is a $200 (?) book - but for collectors here, its a thing to show off and be proud of. You guys have such good collections because there was a surplus of books - in most other countries (UK and Canada aside) most Marvel books from 1960 - 1980 weren't common at all. The guys (and gals) I see at markets and auctions are buying the 'common' books - because they aren't common here, and are affordable compared to the keys. Some buyers are still at school. Next step for most are books like a 1st print high-grade "Killing Joke", then onto 'Bullseye' or 'Sabretooth'. Next thing 'Conan' #1 etc etc Their goal is to get the mainly Silver Age 'top 20' Marvel/DC keys eventually. And I believe they will. From experience, I do better out of selling ASM run books, rather than key books because the market for the cheaper books is bigger. That will change with incomes. I can't see a time in the next 40 - 50 yrs when people don't care enough about The Hulk,Spider-Man,Thor etc that there isn't enough people wanting to buy the 1st apps to maintain value. Pop into the Garage Sales thread and see how Laser-discs are going.Or Star Wars Stuff. Or Action Man. Just because people you know aren't getting into stuff doesn't mean other people aren't!

Each to their own I guess. It seems we are the only 2 people left watching it on this forum anyway!

Fear returns after mid-season break. Best episode yet. Set's up the series to go where i always wanted it to - rebuilding society. Matt Frewer though is poor - I hope they resist the temptation to make him another 'Govenor/Negan' - the show doesn't need to try to be the original Walking Dead show. It's morphed into something better this season - very much on pat with Seasons 1-4 of the original show. It's a good time to give this another try - start at the beginning of last season and give it a chance. 9/10 Massive improvement. Morgan and Dwights characters are so much better in this show - but JD still rocks!

You know what? If you are happy - so be it. Go for it and I wish you the best of luck and hope you meet up as soon as possible. And she is everything you hope she is. All the Best.

Laserdiscs will be red-hot in the next 2-3 yrs. The market in Australia is slowly heating up. The problem,as always,was finding a replacement laser for the player. Peeps should be collecting the discs, especially 'niche' films like the ones above. What a great (future) score.

Well, you live next door to a church. If it's full of sex,drugs and violence I'd love to know the denomination of it............

Not even social security payments? Gabe lives in Niagra Falls Kav (he has openly posted that so no harm done)

I thought it was one of the better video's you made. You know, between looking for work and stuff.

So basically,all you need is $120 to buy a Canadian Passport (do you get a discount for being unemployed in Canada?) then you can go and see your wife. Why not sell the IH #180 you have and just go? Then we can all see the video of her super-powers and her sister and friends. Seems pretty simple to me.

As you need a passport, which country does your wife and her sister live in? Genuine question.

Meanwhile, in Sam's house, news gets out that Gabe is setting up a webcam session...

Being a guy living around the corner from this wacko, using a VPN and laughing his head off at his lunatic replies. You should see this guys social media (if he's not banned) - full of righteous MAGA god-fearing bigotry. Utter fruitcake, with potential to do some really bad stuff. Seriously - close this nonsense and somebody in Niagara Falls have a word with Law enforcement. Visit where? Which far away mystical land do these 2 super-powered aggressive sex bunnies inhabit? Bonkers. Utterly bonkers. It was sad when the comic sales went tits-up, but this is 100% Waco Type stuff. I'd go so far as to say if (when) Gabriel finally loses it completely, the CGC boards may have to explain why these clearly insane ramblings were allowed and not deleted and reported? Just so you are all clear - this guy is telling you all that GOD has told him to visit 2 super-powered beings and to be with them, learn to fight, and do their bidding. All he needs is a passport............ Again, end this thread,delete it, and will somebody in the Niagara Falls area who knows where this guy lives go to the Authorities and get him some urgent Psychiatric help. Don't bother replying Gabe.

For the love of god - Mods, this guy is bate crazy - lock the thread and be done with this drivel. Super-powers, weapons training and fighting skills - this guy has 'postal' written all over him. If anyone knows where he lives, they should call the authorities asap and have him sectioned for evaluation before he hurts himself or someone else. There. I've said what most of you are thinking. Some of you know where he lives. Make the call.

Tales To Astonish #52 Still get a 7.5 (or even an 8.0 with luck) for under $200 Black Knight rumours abound - Dane Whitman seems to be the current fave, but even then,Nathan Garrett surely has to feature - seems a no-brainer lead in to another Ant-Man or Wasp film as a baddie - thereby introducing Dane. Who knows

Is this only available in the USA @Bosco685

There is a huge amount around in Australia Under issue 100 they sell well - $100 - $500 depending on condition (rough guide) I have never seen an issue under #26. I think a #1 sold for $15,000 a few years back. The modern ones (#700 and up) are literally 3 for $5 fodder. They just keep reprinting the same stories and throw a few new ones in every year. Lee Falk died a few years back, and that really took most of the remaining wind out of its sails.
