  1. Oh hey look, it's Madman with blue skin and an Afro...
  2. God did I hate Allred on X-Force. It was like watching my best friend transition from this kick black ops team to pure dog *spoon* Mainly talking from the CGC side here on this portion before getting into the story lines I loved the covers back in the Liefeld days. Then transition to Capullo on to Tony Daniel, was a little down and off with Polina and then was amazed by the Cheung and Morales days. Then moving onto covers by Portacio and Olivetti X-Force just seemed prime to hang on my wall in many of the slabs I have now posted. Then to transition from that style of cover to WTF by Allred it seemed like Marvel said screw it let's tank a series. Now onto the interiors... visually everyone and everything went from visually appealing to again... WTF let's just draw Madman or Madman with boobs. He built a crew of characters all looking like Madman and said screw it with any detail. I have no idea how any of that isn't on everything that came before him with the series. In all honesty I refuse to build that one part of my collection with X-Force because of him and Laura. The only four I have done were gifts that I just said screw it and threw into a box. The story line was even worse to me and I honestly thought it was hilarious that the title tanked after him. Then Marvel was like hey let's give that crew a series ... 26 issues later tanked. Now again here you go Allred try *spoon*ing up another title here's FF... tanked. Sorry must not have been your style, here try Silver Surfer... ratings tanked... But let's blame Slott first cause he obvously can't stay on a story line...unless its one of Marvels flagship titles that's doing amazing... I know it's a rant, I got it, but Allred killed my love for comics for almost 10 solid years because I just couldn't stand looking at like that. Give me "One more Day" any day over anything done by Allred. I would rather be water boarded continuously than being tortured by having to look at one book he has done for the same amount of time.
  3. I kind of liked Jae Lee's take on Inhuman's and his stint on X-Factor during the X-Cutioner's Song series. To each there own though, I want to punch Mike Allred in the face every time he takes over a series because of how bad his art is. I figured I always know when Marvel is purposely trying to tank a series when his name is attached to it. Same can be said with Squirrel Girl and honestly the previews of the new Silk series. I opened the first page of Squirrel Girl, saw the art, and simply put the comic in my daughter's pull list pile of Adventure Time, Regular Show, and Pony ... And the Silk series.... ANYONE would have been better than what they released as the preview to me.
  4. Nothing wrong with fake ones... I'm a huge fan of those things.
  5. Damn I was gonna photo shop some eagles with machine guns and American flags and stuff... fun while it lasted...
  6. I love this... best week cover conversation ever...
  7. Who needs Christmas when you bring *spooning* Freedom...
  8. How much do you want to bet that before the Con he charged $0 and had the easiest line to get through, Now will charge.....eh,... $10 per book and will be an absolute rockstar?
  9. This guy... Look how the sun already knows to caress my face while also shimmering off my beard... I'm like a Twilight Vampire here yo...
  10. Cool beans, I have a sketch cover of the week... I would like to thank the little people in this occasion, Adonis, James.... mainly because I'm taller than them...
  11. I thought Phantom variants were limited at the bare minimums of the Marvel requested set. 2,000 color 1,500 sketch?
  12. Excellent! Lets just start some new . So the Spider-Gwen #1 ASM #300 homage variant is selling like hotcakes! No *spoon*, that is one hot book. Bought 10 of each cover. Planning on getting them double signed at ECCC and then a few triple signed by McFarlane at the May signing for him.
  13. Fixed it, now there are two of us beating this thing...
  14. Are we still talking about the Star Wars Hot topic book...?
  15. Fell in love with this one man, can't wait to see her in person.
  16. Already purchased the Hughes, the Comicquest, a few of each Midtown, and the Portacio, but some how I really like the Hastings variant. Good thing I have a Hastings not but 2 miles from my house... I'll pick them up for you guys for 2 bujillion dollars....
  17. Did the same and asked the store manager in my area. Guy looked at a younger kid and asked if he had destroyed them. Kid did the air quotes and said yeah "destroyed" them already boss....
  18. Damnit... I knew I shouldn't have paid $7.99 for that book.... now I am out a whole $3... *spoon* of *spooning* *spoons*
  19. Honestly loving the Conquest Comics Hughes Variant already bought myself a few of the three book packs. They are doing Color, Negative, and Sketch all three for $55.99 plus shipping.
  20. Paul was amazing with the purchase of an Amazing Spider-Man 9.8SS Gamestop variant in which originally it was only to be signed by Stan Lee, Dan Slott, and Greg Horn. In the end after one hell of an issue and many moons past I was finally able to produce a multi-signature book for him for which I can't possibly thank him enough for being as patient and understand as he has been. If not the best buyer, damn close to one of them. I can only be lucky if he chooses to purchase from me again but even this chance I was damn lucky.
  21. And just because your asking I'm going to lay this one right here...
