  1. Nice! I have the Unknown World #1 on order - just taking its sweet slow time getting to me. Once I complete the raw set I am really tempted to try for a mid-to-high grade CGC set. Love the covers so much!
  2. This guy gets it excellent taste. Here was my recent purchase that just arrived yesterday. I'm hoping to get the entire run (in fact, I have a post on this in the WTB forum)
  3. Pretty good start to the series - excellent production on it (the autopsy scene is nuts!). While I am VERY much against heavy use of over color processing (blue/greens/oranges!), and this show is certainly guilty of it so far, it does make sense for the setting and it being a TV production (though I look forward to more scenes in the day, which looked much creepier that any of the night scenes). The practical effects were great - especially the suit, and it's really only the tiny CGI vines that break immersion sometimes.
  4. Yup - it wasn't subtle at allllllll, and it's not like they only did it once (I recall catching several instances in the movie)
  5. They did my boy Megalon dirty - totally illegal non-regulation moves as dictated by the kaiju commission! He was robbed!
  6. FYI the buget for Shin (the better movie all around) was only 15 million, but King of Monsters was 200 million. One major notable thing to consider is that KoTM covered ALL of the special effects in dark scenes (as well as an over reliance on recoloring everything in post). Shin's effects were in broad day light and thus much harder to pull off (and to me looked great still - especially since they went the traditional route and used miniatures in combination with the CGI). So worlds of difference but Shin was a very good action movie on a budget.
  7. Honestly, If I had to choose I might just say 2014 was better, if ONLY just because it left me wanting to see more - whereas this one made me not want to see another movie
  8. I absolutely love Godzilla films, but this was perhaps one of the worst movies i've seen in awhile. I'm still trying to process the entire mess, on exactly how it could have ended up being such a boring and bland film.
  9. Not sure what to expect, but this Canadian here hopes to be an exception to your shipping preference
  10. Close, but cannot confirm that the photo is NYC (But since it was taken by Eliot Brown, there is a good chance it is)
  11. Nice - I didn't hear about that raw copy, good to hear its getting the attention it deserves as I have a cgc 4.5 of this issue that looks much better than this 5.5 (I was actually surprised by the 5.5 grade here for that front cover).
  12. Thinking it will be close to 5k, which is helped by the seller disclosing which issues were included inside (CGC really should do that in this specific comics case). But honestly i'm far more interested in seeing the sellers other auctions, specifically Chamber of Chills #23 5.5. Price of that one has shot up, and this one as already hit 2k.
  13. Agreed - very good inventory, though funny enough the comics I inquired about were out of date price wise but we resolved that out very easily/quickly - so i'm looking forward to scouring his site some more for future purchases (will still maintain that the site needs a major revamp)
  14. Just bought a few books from goldenagecomics.com , which I wasn't even sure was a working website that was still being run (it really needs work, but then again as a web developer I can say that about most sites) but was mailed back about some issues and we worked out a deal. Very nice stuff for sale, though extremely annoying to search for on the site
  15. Yeah i'm thinking 4.0 will be easy to hit. I just found a 4.0 for sale on mycomicshop and it is also missing a similar sized chunk from the corner ( https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?ItemID=48599212 ). Cleaning and pressing shall be done!
  16. So my good friend has unearthed an epic collection of comics he put together in high school and has asked my help in grading and selling em (coming soon to a CGC boards sale thread near you!!!), most of which have been straight forward but this copy of Hulk #181 is giving me some pause. It looks great, and could benefit from a cleaning/pressing, but does have an obvious defect in the missing chunk on the cover - i'm unsure of how much of a hit it would take for something like that. The MVS is still intact so any faults you see below are it. I was thinking 3.5 or 4.0 at best? All other pictures in the spoiler here to save on space:
  17. Oh hell yes, I love Eyes of the Dragon, and it most certainly would work better as a show rather than a shorter 2 hour movie.
  18. The main presentation they apparently showed pictures of characters unique to the 70's Atlas/Seaboard, but at the same time used the original 50's Atlas icon in another area of the presentation. So plenty of confusion which might just be an error.
  19. Considering it's the 'Ghost Rider' producer who has made this purchase I think it is a very safe guess to assume he is interested in doing Atlas' Ghost Rider knock off; Grim Ghost.
  20. Dig out those 50's/70's Atlas comics, as looks like we're gonna get some new films on old properties So what is everyones guess on which heroes will be getting their own films out of this deal? I'm thinking a modernized Tiger-Man has a good chance.

  21. He bought a GA comic off me and was a pleasure to deal with - quick payment as well! Kudos to him indeed, kudos!
  22. She was not. For all their grandstanding about doing things together as a team, they were very quick to put together THE MOST IMPORTANT PLAN EVER and not even try to talk to Marvel :P I don't think it was about things being more important, but rather logistics - she travels at her own speed, not via jump gates, so whenever she found out about the battle it would have taken time - and it didn't seem like the Avengers even tried to call her before doing the time heist so I assume the only reason she was around for the battle was dumb luck (since obviously Strange or Wong didn't grab her like they did with the rest of the heroes, or else she would have been there on the ground with them)
  23. wut? She didn't wait long at all, she destroyed it the second she arrived back on earth - it was literally the very first thing she did. My main issue is WHY go back to New York for the chance at only THREE infinitie stones, when they could have just all went to Titan the moment Thanos was tied up with FIVEstones, and had Thor cut his arm off then (That entire battle almost worked if it wasn't for Starlord hesitating and snapping Thanos out of his stupor)
  24. I"m not talking about 'depth' being returning the stones (as they as a separate story element), but rather the unique properties of each stone (such as the soul stone specifically being sentient) which doesn't add anything to the story. The audience only needs to know these stones are powerful and a generic property (power, time, etc...) - anything after that is superfluous. I'm just saying there is zero reason to introduce and explore the idea of trapped souls and a sentient rock
