  1. No I'm actually tempted to SELL SELL SELL. That was atrocious. I had no idea what was going on and was scrambling to piece it together as the issue finished. It is taking the path of all Hickman issues. I'm tempted to put up my 9.8 copy of 1 and the first three issues for sale. This was not a good book. RIP Chris S sig line You'll love the new hula hoop girl!

  3. Did you demand the book be re-holdered? I'd simply demand it and if told no than ask to speak to the supervisor. Then just hold until you get one and keep going up the latter. The book does not have the eye appeal it should and will make it detrimental when it comes time to sell. I would demand a new holder or a full refund.
  4. Having looked at this a few times, I don't really like the RRP covers. Honestly, I'm not sure I like the covers for this book in general. They might grow on me, but all the white space bothers me. For that reason, I don't see this touching Saga. The cover for that book has more eye appeal.
  5. What about Saga's content turns people off? There have been a few explicit pictures, but they were really small. I'm not sure I see them as a huge "turn off" to readers.
  6. I don't see this happening. I like Hickman, but usually his stories get to complicated. I'm not the only person to make this complaint. He spends a TON of time world building and often a ton of stuff is going on in the story. I think Red Hawk (I believe that was the title) was a good example of that problem. I still couldn't tell you what the point of that story was to this day. Saga also feels really unique. The art and story are both drastically different than a lot of other things on the market. The buzz is already flying and people are really interested. Now I like both books. I now have a 9.8 of both as well so I've got a leg in both races. But in the span of a little over three months my copy of Saga doubled in value from sales on eBay. Let's see if in three months the same can be said about East of West. It wouldn't surprise me.
  7. I thought RRP was noted on the slab. That book just says Variant?
  8. Yea I agree- I actually liked the XBox 720 better. It made sense. And I'm not that excited about their system. Seems like they are just adding on a cable box. That doesn't excite me that much...
  9. Got some books in Lobo's Spidey Blowout. They were packaged well and came as graded. Thanks for the help!
  10. So are you trying to say that Iron Man is the most popular hero amongst young people?
  11. Yea I'm not sure I've ever seen one. I wonder if I have one in my collection and didn't think much of it as a child...but that is probably doubtful.
  12. No offense, but I'm amazed you did a trade with someone with 18 posts on the boards. I've tried to do trades, but I really only spoke to people I'd done business with in the past. Sucks he cheated you though. You could contact the police, I mean you have his address, but over $300 I wouldn't hold my breath.
  13. See I didn't really care that much about the Guardians of the Globe book. I didn't feel any real attachment to a character and didn't feel the group was that compelling. On the flip side, I did enjoy the Invincible Universe book. Unfortunately it got cut though because my pull list has gotten out of control and I haven't enjoyed the GOG book before.
  14. Yea we should get confirmation on this...? I've seen books that have done that intentionally.
  15. I think that is the first time I've seen someone use "Soothsayer" in a conversation. Well done
  16. Why are you memes so small? I don't have anything to overcompensate for? Nor do I, but I still like to be able to read a good Meme without straining my eyes.
  17. In before the lock! -slym You think? Oh what the hell In before the lock!
  18. pfft...white warning label, should use it to wipe too Someone is skilled in the art of Memes to start using this picture right?
  19. See this isn't really funny... via Imgflip Meme Generator You know if you do to many memes they just won't be funny anymore?... Holy Carp!!! You're RIGHT!! via Imgflip Meme Generator Now that is a funny Meme. That cat just doesn't stop. He is like the energizer bunny.
  20. See this isn't really funny... via Imgflip Meme Generator You know if you do to many memes they just won't be funny anymore?...
  21. First of all this is all I could picture reading the above: Second of all: "Kick Game"??? This one? Walking Dead Survival Instinct 4.0 out of 10. Or maybe, this one? 3.0 out of 10 . Perhaps you meant this one? 4.0 out of 10 Oh., hold up....those are all the same game. I'm sorry, I interrupted you, you were saying something about making stuff up as you went along. Carry on. (thumbs u You know the Walking Dead game won game of the year in 2012, right? That was a collection of Web Games where you picked a direction and watched cut scenes. But I guess I'll ignore that game like you ignored a multi-platinum sound track, #1 movie at the box office, and millions upon millions in DVD and licensed merchandised sales throughout the last 25 years to have it fit into the easy definition of "sucked". (thumbs u The first real game they came out with fell on its face harder than a 90's goth girl running down the street who's eyes got stuck shut from too much mascara. Ummm...I think you mixed me up with someone else. I merely was informing you that it won game of the year. I never played the game- although I'm intrigued. Games like that are hard to play since I've got kids in the house though. It is why I never finished Dead Space 2. I saw you respond to my response and thought it was the same conversation. You don't want to play either of the Walking Dead games. One really isn't a game, and the other is a game that really sucks. Yea that is why I have not rushed out to buy the game. I heard it was pretty much a bunch of touching cut scenes.
