  1. They should just listen to me and everyone will be fine
  2. After seeing Jared all tatted up and looking all ravey I realized who he looks exactly like
  3. Well, it is our own BronzeBruce (thumbs u ... Thanks David, just sold another privately but still have 2 left. Book is definitely in demand. Hope I can find more. BTW... thanks to all for their contributions in the various "heating up" threads. I read regularly and find the info extremely helpful. AHEM...
  4. Nice to see that prices have settled down back to normal on this book http://www.ebay.com/itm/ULTIMATE-FALLOUT-4-CGC-9-8-1st-PRINT-1st-MILES-MORALES-SPIDER-MAN-/221742966128?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33a0e92570
  5. Well if people didnt realize this will drop just like Morlocks #1 did and just like New X-Men #115 did.. what can I tell ya
  6. If he sold them to fans on his site first and sold out, he shouldnt have copies to sell at a con later on. Period. Technical problem, or not, youre holding on to copies - fulfill your orders to your fans and ship those first before making a premium. End of story
  7. Just now seeing this and my 1st thought was... so Max Cady did rape Juliette Lewis and they had a love-child? That's all I'm seeing. Max Cady wannabe bs. It's old, not fresh, and already been done much better by Robert De Niro. The only thing shocking is how stale it seems. I take that back. It's a bit shocking what's been removed. The 'Clown' motif that was Joker from day-1 all the way up through Ledger. Gone. Nothing clownish about this fool. No more "Clown Prince of Crime". Been replaced with "Methhead in Makeup", complete with bad teeth and face tat. Yawn. I concur Looks more like stan the caddy
  8. Uh oh... Here we go! Yup, this smells bad. Theres an on going discussion about this also o the C2E2 thread under comic events. If the artist really fails to deliver those orders he basically makes Marvel look bad. If alot of people will voice their concern about this to Marvel you may be able to get a quicker response..
  9. This wouldve made a better joker already
  10. I think there is resistance to preview books though I'm not sure why. I've seen this with Rat Queens, Wytches, and other short story previews. The herd doesn't appreciate them now. Looking at how popular reprints have become, I could see a change in this area in the future too. There's two kinds of previews. There's the DC Comics Presents 26 type, which is a unique story, and there's the recent Image type, which are short snippets from upcoming books. I think ambiguity has led people to assume most recent previews are type 2. That's a good point. It's just a matter of time before ANMN goes mainstream. Do you guys think this will happen with the Rat Queens' What's Next preview ? Their pretty popular themselves and those books are cheap. I think they preceded Rat Queens #1 by at least 2 months. Rat Queens is a true reader's book. No hype here, no cashing in on deaths or a million variants. Just a very out the box kind of title that caters to current demographics - female readers. Yes, its also optioned for a cartoon series, but it does exceptionally well with or without that in mind. If the current writing will continue to resonate with its target demographics it will be just a matter of time before it becomes an even bigger hit than it is currently. Yes Im a believer
  11. Not the highest, but wonder if it will grow? http://www.ebay.com/itm/DC-COMICS-PRESENTS-26-CGC-9-8-WHITE-First-CYBORG-RAVEN-STARFIRE-SUPER-HOT-/131491523614?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e9d816c1e

  13. So are the: Spider-Gwen Skottie Young variant Spider-Gwen Blank variant Spider-Gwen 1:25 variant Every other shop variant... If you got those at cover price as well... http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sop=1&LH_Complete=1&_from=R40%7CR40%7CR40&_sacat=0&_nkw=spider-gwen+1+9.8&_pgn=2&_skc=50&rt=nc Nice to see you obsessing Phantom though...
  14. Speaking of combo packs (haha), I picked up my Superman Unchained #1 to bag and board it better and the polybag tore apart. Luckily it's a great copy but I RARELY take books out of the original packaging if that's how the book is bought. Ah well. Curious, what do you think it would grade? I keep hearing stories about combos being poorly handled at the factory stage 9.4 - 9.6 in my opinion using http://comicspriceguide.com/comic-book-grading. I've never had a book graded so I am a novice at that. It's a great collection copy 'fo 'sho Heres another cool tool to use as reference for grading http://www.e-bigs.net/freetool.php

  16. As long as you don't try and tell me Jean Grey says Combo packs are gay. Batman #40 base issues are already selling for $10 You read my mind.. actually.. she read my mind.. um, nevermind I wasnt thinking anything
  17. You guys better start listing some moderns heating up or else ill start talking about combo packs again
  18. The talking point is the fact this character has been well established for 50+ years. As vaillant said, it's poor storytelling. Develop a new character. No, the character's been revised a million ways over 50 years. And every few years the writers re-examine these characters for the times in which they're NOW being written. Do you really want Bobby written as if this were still the early '60s? No. Except when it comes to his sexuality. Wonder why that is. Cheap shot. Give it a rest. Moot point, with Revat's clarification. But, there are certain things about people that don't change. I believe sexual orientation to be one of them. I believe gay people are aware of their orientation from the get go (can any of the gay board members chime in). I believe that when tomorrow's news break about Bruce Jenner you'd rethink that statement (thumbs u Gender reassignment and being a gay male are very different things. Agreed. A good article about it HERE Sexual preferences is not always black or white.. A lot of shades of gray..

He was always uncomfortable with his gender identity... Has he really? I dont know the whole story, just saw this in the news and thought about your comments.. See these boards are getting to my head and thats not a good thing I do follow 2 of his daughters on twitter though

  21. I have to say, I was very skeptic about the performance of this book, and still am to an extent, but seeing them selling for $80-100 after the hype has settled, is actually impressive. I do hope for those who purchased, that these prices last and maybe even grow.
