And so it begins, I've been so anxious to post here. Not a room yet, but at least we've begun the process.Got some statues on their way so this will look noticeably different. Also need to decide how to display my comics and slabs. The UV/Sunlight damage comments always freak me out.

So what are your thoughts on my humble little Comic Corner?

I might be interested, keep me in the loop on the info

Will do. Trying to gather names at this point, then we can discuss venue, etc.

I may have asked already and it may have been ignored. Either way, anyone interested in a Boardie get together? Maybe dinner and drinks somewhere?

I was a part of one for SDCC, it was fun. Put some faces to names and talk shop.

Anyone interested!?!?!

Comicdey is a ringer. Dude needs a handicap or something! Wouldn't be surprised if CGzc recruits him from here!

Please sign me up. I'm hoping I can advance at least 2 rounds.....

So after a long amount of waiting, it's looks as I'll have a small area to display some things.

Looking for some tips on displaying your stuff (comics, posters, action figures, statues etc) in a confined space.

It's not a comic room but you gotta start somewhere right?

Am I the only one underwhelmed by the artists list so far? I live in Seattle and go every year and it's basically the same artists they rotate every year/other year.

 

I thought they would get some heavy hitters since it was their 15th anniversary.

Stan Lee has been there at least three times in the last five years.

+1

For a 15 year anniversary it's definitely underwhelming so far. I remember last year Supergirl and Legends cast were booked but all cancelled last minute so maybe they're hesitant about something similar happening.

I still think Supergirls cancellation had to do with the fact that at the time the show was in Limbo as it wasn't picked up for season 2 by CBS nor had the CW acquired its rights yet.

I'm anxiously awaiting the Professional info on badges then the great great cluster *&%$ which is the Hotel sweepstakes.

Very very happy with the gift from our very own Shadow. So cool its framed!!! Thank you!!!!

I am so glad that this thread is still going. I was just looking at when he was with us over 2 years ago.

Ill be there again. Was great last year. We should try to organize a dinner or something?

I'm getting married the 22th....So only preview and Thursday for me

I have to mention my sister seeing this. She knows how much of a comic fan I am, she told me she deliberately scheduled her wedding the weekend before SDCC this past year.

Can I also just say how sad I am about the Justice League Cameos. Read somewhere that they looked like youtube videos. I was hoping for something far better, even if they weren't going to interact with anyone.

The "sadffleck" meme does have me feeling sorry for the guy, I thought he did a good job as Bats only to dragged down by the majority of the reviews. Zach Snyder seems committed to recycling his content/techniques. Unfortunately they don't carry the same weight they once did. I think Time Warner needs to seriously rethink this and hand over the reins to a different Director. As much as I like Snyder, he should not be directing Justice League, this movie would seem to support that.

Id say this movie was average at best and that's heart breakingly sad.

In my opinion, those of use who said Eisenberg was a poor choice for Lex Luthor have been proven right. I also think Wonder woman could have been amazing but her casting choice was poor as well. Surprisingly, I think Affleck did very well as Batman.

While I think that financially this film will be deemed a success, that is attributed mainly to the hype that was built up (kudos on a great marketing campaign). I think this movie could have and should have been better, much better.

I'm very curious to see how this will all play out because if the reviews continue to be negative, I'd be surprised if they kept Snyder on board for Justice League. Unless this financially bombs, which I highly doubt, Justice League and the rest of the DC slate will continue forward but I think the writers/directors may be changed. Snyder is a good director but he either got lazy or ran out of ideas as most of this film was stuff we already saw in his other movies.

Regardless, I think that Snyder directing Justice League does not look good right now, and Time Warner SHOULD switch it up. Snyder certainly didn't help this film, I don't want to see him harm JL.

Living the dream

So true. Heartfelt congratulations to the OP! Must be exciting!

From my personal experience, Akoni doesn't care what happens to him. He's done. Leaving CGC or anything related to CGC once the dust settles.

Forgive me, I'm a little late to this discussion but is there any word on those of us still in limbo with him? Is tysalazar57 our best option?

$60MM weekend. you can kiss $200MM domestic goodbye.

Strengthens my bets with Jsilverjanet that most non-Batman/Superman DC movies won`t break box office records.

 

But I digress, and will save it for another thread.

 

I believe the first movie up in that bet is Suicide Squad. I feel very confident.

of all the trailers I saw, Suicide Squad was least impressive. Personally don't like where they appear to be going, especially with Harley.

The Wasp looks like she will be a kick character. DC ruined WW for me so until Ms Marvel comes up, I'll hope Wasp can live up to the hype.

Batman vs superman looks great, but then I see Gal Gadot and it's a serious let down.

Saw the FF trailer at Ant-Man and boy did that look horrible. We need to boycott Sony's mediocrity just because we like the characters. Let Sony lose a couple (hundreds of) millions then they'll stop putting out this garbage and the rights will go back to Marvel where they belong. THEN and ONLY THEN will we fans get the FF and Spidey movies we're desperate to see. What Sony did and is doing again to FF is criminal.

The consummate professional. Prices were excellent, packaging even better. Arrived very fast. Ed is so easy and great to work with. Truly one of the best sellers I've been fortunate enough to buy from.

Tamir is a great seller. Great prices, shipping was fast and packed very well! I would not hesitate buying from him again. A great addition to the site. Thanks!!

I still cannot believe the prices surrounding this issue. Is it really THAT rare? 1:50 doesnt seem to be that crazy of a ration. Also don't most modern books tend to drop in price as the time passes? That certainly is not the case with this issue.

Can someone please help me out?

Personally I love the cover and would definitely get a copy, just not for the prices I'm seeing.

Gwen has become the new deadpool in regards to cheesy covers

So then you just coined Gwenpool, let the mania begin......

Deadgwen would be a little too on the nose

Beanpole aside, the wig just makes her look like a strung out "him"

 

I can't get over the fact that she seriously looks horrendous with that wig

 

I've not really been satisfied with either canary in this show, but Laurel much less so. Laurel has consistently been the worst part of this show for me. I'm very glad they've at least sort of realized this and made felicity the main female lead. I was hoping that introducing Laurel's sister as Canary meant Laurel was expendable. Sadly I was wrong.

 

 

And yes the current Canary looks awful.

Agreed, Sarah would have been the better canary by far. Both by looks and skill (as depicted by acting)

Also her Canary Scream is too gimmicky for me. I liked it better when the Scream was from a device. If they kept it like that, I would have been happy. It looks dumb to watch her do that canary scream.

For all the good that Arrow is, there are still some parts which are very difficult to watch and some characters who would serve the show better by being off of it.
