  1. Yeah, I liked the first 2-3 issues, but I struggled trying to finish the series. I sold my set years ago, but I know I have a few #1's in a box somewhere.
  2. Speaking of books based on video games, Last of Us #1 and sets is trending higher
  3. Netflix is letting Tiffany Haddish do whatever she want to do, so this'll get made.
  4. the latest Planet Money podcast (March 12 episode) is about NFT’s and the Beeple auction. Directory of episodes: https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510289/planet-money they also have a few entertaining and enlightening episodes where they try to buy rights to a comic-book superhero and ultimately hire Jerry Ordway as the artist to revive a 1940’s character in the public domain.
  5. Morrison's New X-men run feels undervalued to me, and he did introduce a lot of new characters.
  6. I don't think he was intending for a 9.9, he just came across a deal of literally a pallet of Spawn 1, thousands of copies, at a time when they were selling for pennies on ebay. IIRC, we was hesitant to buy because they were so worthless at the time. Can't remember his name, but his avatar was R2D2 playing guitar. Edit - His name was accessndx
  7. speaking of large print runs materializing into money, whatever happened to the boardie who bought a pallet of Spawn 1 for a couple of hundred bucks?
  8. Aren't these early pull-downs usually a result of a specific auction being reported by buyer?
  9. To be fair to Eisner, he was contrite in his depiction of Ebony later in life and was inspired to write Fagin the Jew to address certain stereotypes in graphic novel form.
  10. 6 books: And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street If I Ran the Zoo McElligot’s Pool On Beyond Zebra! Scrambled Eggs Super! The Cat’s Quizzer The headlines seem to be misleading. The books aren't actually being banned (many libraries are stating they will still check them out, for example), but they are not being printed any longer. IMO - If you have them, sell now and buy back later when the frenzy dies down.
  11. 'Oh great, in addition to being mad at me for throwing away his original star wars action figures, now my son can be mad at me for throwing away his trading cards too.' - Hekla's Mom
  12. 2 weeks ago I'd never heard of NFT's, now I see it everywhere.
  13. not modern and not comics, but banned Dr. Seuss books are blowing up on ebay.
  14. Hey Tom, good to see you still here too. I agree that Jupiter's Legacy should (and probably will) be more in the vein of The Boys. I’ve enjoyed WandaVision too, and they definitely could have gone darker; but it’s Disney. I wonder to what degree the success of The Boys will influence other comic-based shows to go over the top or at least stay true to the source material? Early signs are Invincible will; hopefully JL will too.
  15. 'Be the first for all our Netflix trailers and previews. Sign up now for the Millarworld newsletter' https://twitter.com/mrmarkmillar/status/1363786318069833728?s=20 Jupiter's Legacy trailer coming soon?
  16. I hope this pans out. It was an interesting story and Larime seemed like a really good guy.
  17. I appreciate your reports; you give a lot of great info. If I get lucky and find something hot, I'll report it - but you put in the hard work.
  18. FWIW, the latest Planet Money podcast from a few days ago tried to buy Doorman rights from Marvel (1st appearance Doorman, West Coast Avengers 46 same as 1st GLA appearance). The TL/DR of the podcast was that even obscure characters like Groot can become moneymakers. great macro-economics podcast, btw
