  1. They'd have to change a lot of it. Red Skull is the main villain. Theres a venom dinosaur. Hawkeye is his partner. Spider-man's daughter or granddaughter, I forget which, is in it. I love the story and would love to see it done but theres so much that would need to be different.
  2. [ Alien gizmos are more believable than what you're proposing. Like Garrett is not going to notice on a multi-hour flight that the people Ward shot aren't actually dead. This and also what does Ward gain from pretending to kill Koenig? If he was still with SHIELD it would serve no purpose to pretend to kill him. Granted he could be lying, but in Cap 2 Fury admits to not even knowing about Hydra until the last minute. So how would he have time to set up a double agent?
  3. 3 book Modern normal track Received - 21 April
  4. Maybe I'm wrong but wasn't it mentioned in an earlier episode that the abomination was stored at the fridge?
  5. Just got an Uncanny X-Men 251 recreation from Chris Mangold's recent Megacon sketch opp. Also X-Men 205, the first Hope Summers and Black Science 1 Ghost Variant. All got 9.8's
  6. They did mention that Garrett had killed some people that had found out. I also am not sure of Wards motivations behind killing the fake clairvoyant. Maybe it was about Skye or maybe that was just his excuse because he's Hydra. Isn't the point of the boards to discuss made up stuff?
  7. I find it hard to believe Wards double crossing Hydra unless he's just flying by the seat of his pants. If he was in Hydra the whole time but is still with SHIELD that would mean someone in SHIELD knew about Hydra. Fury stated in Cap 2 that he didn't even know about it. But maybe, when Coulson took Ward aside and you couldn't hear what was said after they saw Garrett in cuffs, they set something up.
  8. I've already got my tickets and am stoked to see it tomorrow.
  9. I'm scared to see this now since everyone is applauding it. So used to seeing lots of nit picking and cynicism with comic book movie reviews on the boards.
  10. That would be a nice setup for Secret Invasion somewhere down the line as that race was an enemy of the Skrulls. I'm not 100%, but I think Fox has the Skrulls as part of the FF license.
  11. I think last nights episode was the best one so far. Can't wait to see how the rest of the season plays out.
  12. jealous, mine have been in the QC phase for about 4 or 5 days now. I stopped keeping track haha Good luck. I guess not counting any con days this went 16 business days from received to shipping. So not too bad.
  13. Coupon submission -Received - 10 March -Verified - 11 March -Scheduled for Grading - 25 March -Graded - 28 March -QC - 31 March -Shipped - 01 April(not April fools joke) All 9.8s
  14. I'm curious how long some posters think CGC graders spend on a book. 12 seconds? 20? Some of the posts seem like they imagine Graders do extensive CSI type investigative exams. I'd think it depends on the book. I'd venture a guess and say 30-60 seconds. Some more, some less depending on era, grade, resto, etc. I hope they are well paid for that one minutes work. No salary quoted but they have had a job opening on their website for as long as I can remember - http://www.cgccomics.com/about/careers.asp "CGC is hiring: Comic Specialists or Graders We are seeking professional specialists or graders with experience in vintage and modern comics, restoration and knowledge of pedigree.

Tnerb, who spends most his time on the journals applied and went through the process. He wasn't hired though.

  18. You do know that you can't witness any books that you want graded. Yeah I can't believe none of us said that. If you are a CAW then you cannot witness the signatures on any of your books. So if you are the only CAW at a show then your books cannot be done. I would think this is a common sense thing. I never "knew" for sure but figured this would be how its done. If it wasn't, it'd be a huge conflict of interest. Plus I'd figure the boards here would have a really long complaint thread about it.
  19. Not too bad. Hope mine goes this quick if not faster.
  20. Wow to this whole thread! Glad you were able to recoup most of your money.
  21. Looking forward to how this journal pans out. I do dig seeing the older sci fi covers and older covers in general. I've never really read this stuff but might have to check it out one day. Good luck with your additions.
