  1. I haven't read through all 17 pages, but I'm surprised I haven't seen any comments regarding Felicia. Possible Black Cat app. in the future?
  2. That sounds illegal. Were ladies of the night involved? not to my knowledge, no.
  3. I agree with what you're saying. If the buyer made an offer, and the seller says, "No. I'm pretty much letting it go too cheap at my asking price. I might just hold onto it," it mostly seems like he just won't take the offer. The "I might just hold onto it" also seems like he just wants somebody to pay the asking price, which the buyer ended up doing.
  4. I agree. I LOVED NWM when it was coming out monthly. I think if it still did, it would be one of the top moderns. The art was good, the writing was good, the story and characters were interesting. But if you can't even release bi-monthly issues, then it shouldn't have even been in the running.
  5. Yes, I know it's probably trimmed (no, I didn't do it), but still...
  6. I was the same way a few months ago. I was collecting every issue and variant in 9.8, and almost had a complete collection. I ended up dumping all of them and sticking to reader copies. I'm not sure if I'll wait for TPBs from now on or keep buying monthlies.
  7. I got an e-mail from Midtown saying I've been charged for my NWM #6 order. I had forgotten all about it. Hopefully, since they've charged me, it will come out.
  8. Maybe a decline in value, but I think the quality has improved a lot. Meaning, it has improved from already being a good read. The second trade is due out soon. I encourage you to check out both volumes. The second trade is already out.
  9. Yes, I do. I've no reason to think otherwise. Do you think they don't want their own book to be out in time? Do you think they are deliberately trying to get people to lose interest in their book? Do you think they don't like being paid? I mean, honestly? And this kind of comment is one of the reasons why a post by ES saying "we're doing the best we can..." wouldn't be accepted by many of the complainers in here. E.S. is making money no matter what NWM does. That's part of the complaint is that he's not invested in the comic because it's just a side project. And if E.S. took the effort himself to say they're doing the best they can instead of opting to brush it off at a panel, then at least he's showing that he's aware of the readers and is doing his best to fix the problem. That would be enough for me. There is a big difference just telling yourself that you know they're doing their best and E.S. actually saying that they are.
  10. How many variants do you have? Got a few, but that isn't the crux of my view. I've got my bigboy pants on speculating in silver age keys. The moderns are just for z and giggles. But my commentary remains the same: silence is unprofessional. E.S. doesn't run Area 51, he's dealing with comic books... Even at the con with Kirkman. One sentence wouldn't have been too difficult to utter. Instead he got his panties all bunched up. Silence until there is something substantial to say is professional in my view. The fact is, although you're saying you'd like him to say _something_, the chances are whatever he could say wouldn't be good enough because the book would still be late and that's like the apocalypse for some speculators. He probably knows that no matter what he says, people will still complain, so why bother until he has something substantial to say? Dude, make one reply without mentioning speculators. I have one graded and one raw copy of #1 for my collection, NOT for speculating. I'm just as pissed as everybody else because this was my favorite modern title. If E.S. was/is invested in NWM, there would be some kind of reaction to the delays. If I was doing something I love, I'd be doing everything I could to put out the book on time. No matter if "the book would still be late and that's like the apocalypse for some speculators," actual fans of the series would like some kind of reaction to at least know they're still invested in continuing the series. I'd have more respect for somebody who would come here or on the internet and say, "We're doing the best we can to get the next issue out. It will be late, but we're trying" than to have no comment whatsoever. EDIT: accessndx beat me to it I'm a fan and I'm not wound up about it. I don't need ES or Nate to say "We're doing the best we can..." because I already assume they are doing that. Do you think they're both sitting back with their feet up saying "Haha we have up to issue 15 finished but let's delay #6 for a few months because LOLOLOL!"? No, I don't think they have 15 issues finished. But do you think they're REALLY doing the best they can to get a single issue finished on time? The original "plan" was to have 6 (and then 7?) come out, and then the trade would be released. So essentially, they just needed to finish one or two issues, and then they would have a break to try and get a head start on the next arc.

  12. I hate these delays. NWM was easily my favorite series after ASM/Superior. It sucks that it doesn't regularly come out every month.
  13. Thanks! I can't stop looking at it
  14. If you ever need to sell...I know a crystalized gorilla fan...wink wink... Haha nice! I just told Nate to sketch anything he wanted, and that's what was done when I went to pick it up.
  15. Thanks! And special thanks for giving me an idea for the ASM mashup
  16. I'm going to try and revive this thread. I got these done at Heroescon by Nate, and they just came in the mail today. These will definitely be in my collection forever: And my personal favorite...my favorite Modern with my favorite series
  17. My Heroes subs were shipped out yesterday. Modern FT.
  18. Did you FT it? Yes, I did, Chase. R_H I know CGC is usually slow, but believe it or not, I just got back my latest Modern FT in 12 business days. It's supposed to be delivered today. Spoke to CGC about an hour ago and they have graded my books including the RRP and they are all 9.8s She said that they should be shipped out tomorrow; therefore, they arrived on May 31 and will be shipped back to me on June 21 -- 16 business days!!! R_H Nice!!
  19. Still marked as Graded 6/14 24 business days and counting. My book moved to Grading/QC 6-16. That's crazy buddy. I have a 6/3 invoice (MFT) that went graded and QC by 6/13. I thought that was fast. Hopefully yours will ship soon. I hope so. It was a Standard FT (my ASM 13), so hopefully it'll ship by the end of this week. There's no Standard Fast Track - you can only do Fast Track for Economy, Value and Modern submissions. Whoops, I meant Economy. In other news: Shipped/Safe 6/19
