  1. And have a good internet connection

    What is "internet"?

     

    It's like the force

    It's all around us

     

    Does it have calories from fat?

     

    Is it communicable?

     

    Would a tin-foil hat help or hurt?

    I have not been able to completely master it, but I do know it is allergic to water...

     

  2. I don't know what to make of the AOW storyline...I mean I can't wait for the next issue and enjoy it, but on the other hand it seems to be going around in circles a bit and when I finish an issue I feel like not enough happened. I was ok in the beginning but this slight irritation is getting worse....Anyone else share this view?

  3. I think the truth lies somewhere between the extremes. First, I think it's very harsh to call TWD a "flash in the pan". This is a comic book series that has lasted well over 100 issues and more than a decade, and is still at/near the top of its popularity. It has spawned a record-breaking TV show (as well as a successful wrap-up show and a spin-off to come), merchandise (books, toys, etc.), cosplay and even a nationwide obstacle course series. In the OA market, it's by far the most popular and widely collected series of the past 20-25 years. Its TPBs helped to accelerate the popularity of that format. Even if you think the franchise isn't particularly original, it's infiltrated popular culture and the public consciousness like no prior zombie franchise has, and certainly to a far greater extent than Sandman, Preacher, YTLM or any other Modern (re: flash in the pan) comic has - this is not a series that was hot in the geek community and ran for 5 years and then faded away. At this point, it's run long enough to have indelibly stamped its mark on this period of comics history - it's an important series, and the longer the comic and the TV show run, the more memorable and emblematic of the era they will remain, even after they are inevitably cancelled (not that we couldn't see spin-offs and reboots like we've seen for "Star Trek" and other franchises). hm

     

    Would I invest in the comics? Hell, no. But, I wouldn't expect to see #1 9.8s fall 75% in value either (note: I don't own this issue). I don't see why it couldn't hold a $1K price tag at a minimum, even after the TV show fades away. It's not like a grand is even what it used to be, after all, especially not to the people who traffic in higher-end comic books. And, for a book that has had this much impact on the hobby and pop culture, that would seem downright cheap to me, even when the comic and TV show are no longer running. 2c

  4. For any of you volume dealers of Walking Dead, do you have any idea what you think this lot of comics might go for?

    Not trying to pimp my auction, just wondering what to expect about closing price.

     

    Also, you have pictures from far away and in bags.. so the [buyer] can't really get a good sense of the condition. This could hurt you
