Been reading theses boards for a few weeks now, but want to get active on them.
Brief background:
I'm a reader foremost (~85% of purchases), and speculator 2nd (~15%), but beeing around the stores, reading so much about upcoming issues, etc, I thought I'd start speculating since I was seeing what was getting hot, could be hot, etc. Hard to pass up on issues that you know can either make you money immediately, or have a high potentianl to in the future.
I figured, I'm NEVER going to sell my personal collection, so why not pick up extra copies of what I was getting, books I wouldn't get normally, but have cheap and easy access too, etc. And....it's snowballed from there.
I can't get enough of reading people's opinons on comics (both what's hot, and what's a good read). I don't really have many "comic friends", and frankly, I actually find a lot of those people who frequent the stores to be VERY annoying. Here, on the other hand, much easier to deal with.
-In terms of popularity (not prices, apparently it's not doing as well as I thought it would), reviews, etc, how is Bedlam doing/what are peoples thoughts???
I pre-ordered 1 issue, read it, then rushed out to scour the stores for more. I was THAT blown away by the first issue (subsequent ones have been good, but didn't have the same impact).
I find that Madder Red is somewhat of a mix of Deadpool, The Joker, and Millar's Nemesis.
