  1. Macho-Man while big wasn't that tall. I'm going with The Undertaker!
  2. +! And don't forget most of the women faces he does look very similar too. I'll have to look for that next time, I wasn't aware they had faces. You must have been looking at the pair of lungs instead of in the eyes.

  4. What is the source of these designations? That's the much more relevant question, which also basically answers your question. Who is this guy in the gif having his mind blown?
  5. Silk has much more story potential IMO if Marvel could actually find a writer that wasn't so involved in skin level diversity and more into diversity of ideas. Silk (Cindy) has so much in common powers wise with Peter Parker however she has a treasure trove of what if perspective to the world she is now in. She was held in a room during her adolescence and told if she got out it would be dangerous to use her powers. This could be shaped many ways kinda like how the did what if's years ago....That Superman what if he was born in the USSR was a great example who would Peter Parker have turned out if he didn't have Aunt May & other support while developing his powers. Tons of potential for SIlk.
  6. Well what do you expect Marvel seems to have forgotten who the x-men are.
  7. X-23 is not Wolverine (Logan) clone yes, has her own story yes but not the same.
  8. That is the most bombass thing I've seen in a long time. That's a nice trailer for sure I'm just worried that the studio just like Marvel is showing us too much and that's about all the action in the movie.
  9. Order all 500 for retail of $125? get all the variants and a bunch of donations.... How to do that? If anyone wants to buy 500 copies for me I have $125 + shipping ready, I'll get the variants + a dozen issues, you can keep the rest Orders on this will be huge. Can you imagine any dealer NOT ordering $250 worth ?Super cheap and that would give them 7 variants on an order that size. This book is pushing itself into the top 10 each month without a 25 cent cover price. Any bets as to the final number ? My bet is placed at 500,000 plus. https://comicsheatingup.net/2017/01/12/the-walking-dead-163-highest-ordered-comic-in-nearly-two-decades/ 730,000 exceeded pre-orders you called it Authority.

  11. I never claimed the raffle didn't happen. If you think that then here's one you'll gobble up hook line and sinker.
  12. The artwork in the comic and the timetable that it's get's produced in is pretty amazing. I think it's safe to assume most people on here and other sites are reading comics. There are a ton out there right now. But, let's look at one thing, you are posting on the CGC forum (an arm of a company dedicated to providing a service almost solely for the valuation of comics / collectibles) and another forum that is literally titled speculation and investing. Has there been news since this? June 18, 2015 Adrian Askarieh: Yes. I’m producing it with New Regency and Fox Television Studios. We’re in the process of announcing a showrunner and directors for our pilot. The goal is to not make it a miniseries, but make it a 13-episode event series. And if it’s a hit, we’ll do one every year. That’s the plan for Enormous. And it’s moving forward very fast. And everyone seems to be very excited about it. http://screenrant.com/deus-ex-jonny-quest-hitman-agent-47-adrian-askarieh/3/ P.S., some of those people were big advocates of the comic from the beginning. I personally supported you when you were on here asking for money. P.P.S., It's the internet. There will always be people posing discouraging remarks. Don't take it personal. I don't think CGC cares whether or not a book I pay to grade makes me a 5 dollar profit or a 100 dollar loss after I pay I think you are falling into the speculation part over the collecting/enjoying part I know a bunch of friends that have older books that they have no intention of ever selling. They are grading for the preservation aspect and others do it for their own pc's. I have even used cgc to improve my own eye at grading as I'm sure others have. Sometimes members here just want to talk about a title and hope it continues because we like it first and foremost. And for the record I've been posting in this thread since I read the posting by Authority and I have never seen Tim or anyone else associated with the property on here asking for money.
  13. Yeah clearly its dead. I see tons of raw cover 1a's on ebay ....just pages and pages of em. (sarcastic laughs)
  14. Of course I don't expect creators to come and ruin their opportunity. I would expect someone to keep cash in their pocket. Options that actually move forward have announcements along the way. Preacher was very slow, IMO, in movement. It was optioned 2/ 2014. Then they have to start writing it and the pilot was ordered 12/2014. 10 months and that taking into consideration that Seth Rogan was involved who has plenty of other movies, acting and writing. It hit TV 5 / 2016. Over two years from the option. Even though it was relatively slow, they still made announcements when they were working on it. Enormous was optioned 2 / 2016. Has their been any news since then? When someone says "Big News" for a property that is optioned, you would think it would be about the TV show or movie. Not the fact that they are coming out with another story arc. And, of course this is my opinion. I was simply stating my opinion as to the question that was posed as to why some people don't like Enormous anymore. I will bet you those "people that don't like Enormous no more" are holders that are either nervous nothing will happen in the future or the title stops publishing new issues or both. When the creator comes on here and says there is news coming that is his choice to either tell us or not. Belonging to the board for a few years brings me to this conclusion. When news hits and moves forward the cheerleaders come out and pump it up. When there hasn't been any news reported on a option in a while here comes the booo squads.
  15. I wasn't speaking about this book specifically or exclusively when I said what I said about cash and rumors, but anyway. So what is the line then? People like things to actually happen on a timetable that they can benefit from? The truth is no one writing any of this stuff really knows, it's all gambling. A little information coupled with a lot of feelings. People just want honesty. We don't have the information that the creators have. It's very rare that you hear a creator come out and say something is dead and 'm not sure why. Is it even remotely possible in the land of Oz you are speaking from that the creator might be under a NDA and can't disclose information at this time yet he wants to give us a tiny heads up? I know shocking isn't it. Right, I'm sure the 100 or so optioned comics are all under an agreement still. If the option is still valid where is the beef? The public doesn't know everything going on behind the scenes and since its not our "intellectual property" its kinda a moot point.

  17. Do you need the cash? Do you need to move inventory? Will u make enough profit for you if you sell? Do you need to make top dollar or are you looking to grow your buyers? Ask yourself those 4 questions then you should have your answer. Do I want to talk about moderns that are heating up? Or do I want to measure more? I have my answer. You ask the same question in two threads now I was just giving you some advice. I guess the head-butting in this thread had me thinking you weren't being sincere. My apologies, I would just like the bickering to move to another thread. I took his questions as sincere but I understand the defensive reflex. It can be tough to tell when people are being serious, sarcastic, angry, or joking. emojis help. The reality is you have to follow trends or better yet, be at the leading edge of them. Nobody wants to give bad advice so you'll here a lot of us say "buy, buy, buy..." when we like a book but almost none of us saying "sell, sell, sell..." because we don't want you to sell too soon. The majority of us want to see others "win". None of us can know for sure can we ? In 2017 I think I will follow old Wolfman Jack. I had a high school teacher that told me he used to say on the radio everything was for sale.
  18. Obvious difference being, 12+ years since her debut she is doing better than ever... To be fair NYX 3 was a 50-75 dollar high grade raw book before movie news hit and then they made her into the "new" wolverine inside his old costume. That push has sent the book into several hundred dollar range. Will it last who knows but I tend to be skeptical when a book shoots up that fast on a movie appearance that may or may not lead to seeing her again.
  19. The raw copies are more impressive to me. The link is to a copy signed by Stan Lee. I'd think there would be quite a premium attached to that sig. What do you think ? All low feedback involved on both sides of that sale as well, and I believe they charge $100 for Stan Lee's signature so I agree that this one is not a fair judge of market. + (Almost) All Campbell's sell. This book has also been "hot" for a while IMO. One of my local shops wants $500-600 for raw new books signed by Stan Lee. Next time I am in there I will snap a pic of the New Spider-man & Spider Gwen/Silk books signed by Stan Lee they want $500 for. Yikes that is scary crazy.
  20. Nice side hustle for the bug dealer. Bug dealers rule in good deals I hear there is an entire industry based on killing those things.
