Oh, Ween.

Hahahaha.

Looks like a nice first appearance to me and apparently to a lot of Ebayers.

Ya, I'm going to have to agree with the other poster as well. Seems more of an ad appearance.

:o :o

From what I've seen though, CGC does indeed note that #648 is the 1st "full" appearance of Spoiler.

 

they aren't infallible.

 

They aren't???

 

 

Anyhow, it is like the X-Men Annual #14 where Gambit is clearly in like 5 -7 panels or something, but the story was a "flashback", so #266 gets all the love. That surely looks like a pretty full app. on those pages though.

 

You do know that UXM266 was supposed to be on the stands before Annual 14, right? And some scheduling mix-up happened, as the events in Ann. 14 happen after UXM266... right?

 

 

 

-slym

Man, just think about trying to clarify this BEFORE the internet. Trying to convey this, figure this out, etc.

"1st appearance of Gambit? I'll just go check the .....

"O, there was a scheduling mix-up? Ya, I know this because I read it....???"

yeah, not bad at all....never know, maybe Vertigo is finally getting some love.

I've been told before that Vertigo stuff doesn't heat up that much because the readers are:

1-more mature, older readers.

2-a lot of them read the stuff in trade format.

I'm still waiting to pick up Peter Panzerfaust #1 from the $1 bins.

I bought Peter Panzerfaust #1 out of a $1 bin, but that was in Nov 2012.

 

there was a lot of 'meh' talk about PP when it first came out...normally people will say a title sucks by mentioning the ability to grab a copy at their leisure from a $1 bin later on. That's why I mentioned it.

Hahaha. So true.

PS. Do the $1 bins in the States work differently than here?

The ones I've seen here, it's usually just unbagged, unboarded comics, and they usually range from 50 cents to $1.

OK,

 

The consensus from the geniuses on the CGC forum is that Batman #28 is of little speculator-y interest & is a non key issue.

 

Got it.

You tell 'em Dr. Lawrence Doherty, PhD!

LOVE the Rocket Raccoon watering can picture!

And here I thought I was the only one who actually read the books.

Got the trades 4 or so years back. A+ (thumbs u

These are just the issues I bought originally and sold to my buddy. He's in the middle of a move, so he sold them back to me at a good price. Luckily, Kevin Eastman was cool enough to sign the first 6 issues and draw a little turtle on them.

 

Anyone have any clue what kind of extra value that would add?

 

I think signing a comic adds about 5-10 dollars from someone famous like eastmen or hotish...but that can all depend, I got something chadwick signed and I don't think it'll bring 5 bucks, on the other hand I got Wiebi to sign some stuff and it goes up about 5 bucks? The little sketch is known as a 'remark' and it can add an equal amount to the signature 5-10 I would guess....having a full set of something gives you an easier sell and means you can ask for a little more...

 

I'd try for 125 and titrate the price down...

But is their proof??? Only reason I would get something signed (not as a CGC submission) is for my own personal collection.

Anything with Rocket Raccoon on it will be HAWT! The kids are gonna love that little critter.

 

I'm just praying they don't make him hokey like Jar-Jar...

 

Nothing in our lifetime will ever be as hokey as Jar-Jar, EVAR!!!!

 

Not sure if these guys win... but they came damn close to Jar-Jar....

Man, the theatre I saw that in had an "If you don't love this, we'll give you your money back" promotion. There's not that many movies I would do that for, and I'm not one to just take the refund to get something for free. But man, the movie was THAT awful. The worst part was those characters weren't nearly the worst part of the movie.

And an impressive run of 9 posts in a row ...

Hahaha.

Ya, like I've said before, the way I do this thread is I read from where I left off, and comment as I'm reading. So that's why all my posts are clustered. Is this bad board edicate? I LITERALLY have no clue if it is. I hope it's not annoying or boring annyone.

That is an underrated film.

I waited the WHOLE movie for the Merlin scene, where he shoots some sort of magic or lightning or whatever, from the previews.

.....ya, it never came.

I'll keep for you.

 

I only have one very small little wish. A year or 2 from now, they give East of West the Game of Thrones/The Tudors/Deadwood HBO treatment.

 

Networks have made tremendous strides in recent years and the quality of their shows has increased exponentially. Take a look at TWD, Sleepy Hollow, Revolution, Black Sails, etc. and you get the idea. I don't know stories like EOW and Saga would appeal to a lot of people but they are no farther out than Game of Thrones imo.

 

It's pretty funny, though, in Game of Thrones (just finished Season 2), like the "big" battle scenes, how you can still tell it's a TV show because they keep the filming VERY tight, don't pan out. You can tell it's still a limited budget, limited scope, and that they kind of hit the wall in terms of what they can do.

 

 

I know you don't get the Braveheart, Kingdom of Heaven, or even King Arthur with Clive Owen type battle scenes but the story is still wonderfully bittersweet. I can't wait for seson 3.

O ya, I LOVE the show, and wouldn't want it to be like that, or expect it. It's just I noticed in the Battle of Blackwater Bay , when they're fighting in front of the Mud Gate, that you could really tell that they were purposefully not showing the full picture/keeping things close-up, etc. Just the first time in the show, really, that it was like "okay, it's an amazing show, but they're still working within TV restrictions.

I kind of wish it was The Massive instead. I think that story has the most potential for massive success. Modern day pirates, environmental disaster, adventure.

 

 

Don't count it out yet seems like there is a announcement every day.

Oh yeahhh...I pick up any of those Grampas I see.

I came across one when it was first released, and it was bent in half.

Somebody's hitting the pipe pretty hard today...

1-

2- ???You clearly haven't watched the show then, or aren't observant. I love it, but you could tell that they were stretching their limits during The Battle of Blackwater bay, specifically when they're in front of the Mud Gate.

3- I see you refrained from making fun of my psychiatric disorder. (thumbs u

I'll keep for you.

Don't know about that last one looks pretty crappie.

(thumbs u Ya, because THATS never been done before.

There's SO SO SO SOOOOO many of these, comics about special forces/agents/assassins/special ops/ etc that are based on comics, no one even KNOWS they were based on a comic, and no one ends up caring about the comic (or even the show/movie for that matter).

Looks like The Red Star may finally get made... Into a TV show..

I read the solicite for that while making my order for this month. Never heard of it before. Looks pretty interesting though.

If Harbinger is a Wannabe X-Men, couldn't you say X-O Is a wannabe Iron Man?

 

Only if you've never read X-O Manowar and Iron Man.

 

X-O Manowar is an amalgamation of several heroes: Captain America (man out of time), Iron Man (armor suit), and Conan (barbarian). The character has bits and pieces of all these heroes, but doesn't really relate directly to any of them. The otherworldly origin of the X-O Manowar armor also further distances the character from Iron Man.

So THIS is X-O Manowar?

Hmmmm, I think the movie is gonna do well.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "bomb".

 

It will make a ton of money. No doubt.

 

I agree

 

There will always be a few boardies who will throw out the 'it will bomb' talk. Plenty of IM3 hate and that film cranked out $1.2 Billion to date.

 

 

I see GotG doing just good enough to launch an animated cartoon series.

I THOUGHT Iron Man 3 would be good.

And ya........it was so-so. The Mandarin thing was just atrocious though.

When the Guardians of the Galaxy movie bombs (and I suspect it's going to be a huge dud), what are those IH #271 and associated GoG comics going to do?

The visuals that I've seen look great. More true to the comic than most Marvel movies.

If Harbinger is a Wannabe X-Men, couldn't you say X-O Is a wannabe Iron Man?

Well, he has a power suit. Lots of heroes do though. Other than that, there isn't really many similarities.
