  1. This whole series is a freaking white whale for me!!!!! I'm so damn sick of unsuccessfully trying to order decent copies. So I ordered a couple of copies of A1 #1 about a month ago from Scott's. Well according to Scott, they were vastly under priced (not my issue) and scooped up... Yetttttt I was still allowed to add them to my cart and check out. So my order was cancelled. I found out last night after checking the mail and finally looking back at my Paypal.

     

    So then I bought a first of #2 from a boardie. It showed up with that freaking fold wrinkle on the spine. I paid twice what I paid for #1.

     

    I passed on it when it first came out and unless I fork out a freakish amount, I'm just going to read and envy.

     

    (Though I do have a Though Bubble coming that I got for a great price assuming the pictures were accurate - though at this point I'm going to assume a fat mountain gorilla has used it as a mating rag - thus again I'll have over paid for garbage.)

  2. You guys have to realize that sure it's about timing! Star Wars kicked off the epic SCI FI fantasy movie genre! The new movies didn't hold up to today's standards of story telling, acting, imaginary animal skateboarding. The magic wasn't there for the fans like it was for the old guys (me) because they're inundated with history, and better scripts.

     

    I like Saga because the -script, dialogue, characters are fresh for me. Sure it's a sci FI fantasy epic, but its done well... And there is a giant spider woman with disgusting eyes and a perky chest. What more do you need? I haven't been this aroused/disgusted since RTOTJ when Leigh choked out Jabba....

  3. Tell me why !!!!

    :pullhair:

     

    It's a good read. Great narrative. Just ignore those who seem to have turrets syndrome and keep blurting out nonsense.

     

    WTH is 'Turrets" syndrome.. :roflmao: :roflmao:

    Random outbursts of gunfire from the cockpit... (shrug)

    Erratic shooting off at the mouth from the cockpit of your skull bucket. :applause:

  4. I don't want to burst your 'thought bubble' but you realize this will come back from CGC as a green label, qualified book (no disrespect intended Mr. Hog, just FYI).

     

    Thanks, 3 things: l was shocked by the price but it wasn't my sale - nor was I bidding.

     

    I was thinking yellow but you're right - which is strange isn't it? Seems to devalue a great book. It didn't hit me.

     

    Lastly, the final bidder looks to have pulled, out so final was only $155. Wonder if they are a boardie? hm

  5. Mr Hog.

    Comics are like trains.

    When its already left the station,it's often very dangerous to drop everything and rush like the wind to jump on board.

    :takeit:

    Saga RRP has tainted my perspective. I like coming here for the candid wake up...

  6. Just so you al know my secret:

     

    I preorder 20-30 but when I get them I put them threw my paper shredder then mix the shreds with others like what is left of my NWM and Saga, but also with my AMS 700s - it's called diversifying people.

     

    I'll then luxuriate in the shreds nekkid. I advertise myself off as a 17 yr old japanese school girl and sell the lions share by the oz to Chinese business men - again, off shoring to further diversify in emerging markets (China, not Japan, duh)

     

    What's left goes to a novelty companies to make those recycled grape scented pencils. Wha I'm saying is, I love grape. It's all about the Benjermans kids. Respect.

     

    What the heck is this thread about anymore?
