  1. I’ve done 4 high for years with no issues using hot flips boxes. @HOTFLIPS What do you recommend?
  2. Great books and prices! Both are great covers and good reads (I’ve been going back and reading all the EC titles so the CSS 19 is more fresh) and it is hard to find any of these titles under 200 bucks these days. These should fly out of here
  3. I’ve been looking for a copy of this one!
  4. I HATED Superman killing Zod in the first movie of a series. I am okay with Superman having to do that but NOT in the first movie. It is yet another example of the flawed structure of the SnyderVerse. Death and Return of Superman BEFORE the justice league is even formed? I agree about consquences and the ending, but what about all the people that lost their lives because he couldn't stop Zod sooner. That feels like a pretty big consequence. Had Superman defeated Zod and imprisoned him in the Phantom Zone there still would have been consquences and much of the early story with Bruce Wayne in Metropolis (which I thought was great) would still be intact in the movie. Zach Snyder is a fantastic director, Watchmen and 300 were great, but he did not really understand the character. If Superman kills in the first movie though, where do you go from there? IMO WB/Snyder (and yes I realize a lot of this was on WB and not Snyder specifically) should have done JL first and then do a movie later with the death of Superman thing where Superman has to kill doomsday (and uninentionally sacrifice himself) to save everyone and not repeat the tragedy of Zod's invasion. People likely wouldn't have had the reaction they did if WB/Snyder would have had the character development and understanding of what Superman really stood for first, like in Man of Stell where he talks about the crest meaning hope, and THEN later see him have to do that. Parts of Man of Steel were excellent but the ending? It was bad storytelling and it cost them ..... deservedly so.
  5. That's a great point. Maybe Luthor will be a character but not THE villain in the movie. Maybe it will build to that in the second one? I'd love to see Brainiac as others have mentioned or Metallo.
  6. Totally agree with you! Also, I get the criticism of the villains in Superman 3 and 4, but even with the hokeyness it would have been so much better if 3 used brainiac instead of what we got and Superman 4 used Bizzaro instead of Nuclear man. Even with the production cheapness of 4 it would have been better if it was that character with the same plot instead of what we got.
  7. <tear> Congrats! That is just outstanding. I remember reading that exact strip when it came out. I still sometimes think about it when I put sunglasses on.
  8. I haven’t seen this cover before. Is this the kick starter one?
  9. That would be so much better than what we got with Jesse Eisenburg. Henry Cavill was an excellent Superman but no one could make up for that Luthor performance.
  10. Awesome. This is exciting. Got to mold the clay but they have a lot to work with.
