That guy is something else. I knew he was only here to sell, but his strategy sucked. Instead of joining and letting people get to know him first, he came in and thread bombed the site, made everyone think he is a loon or 12 years old and now expects them to buy from him. I tried to warn him but oh well. GLWTS!!!

CAHokie replied to Colicab's topic in Modern Age Comic Books
Slym, I guess us peasants better sell ours first before the krakens are released. Nah...I will just keep it. I have no need to sell a cool comic. -
This is where it started. I made his avatar. Ah yes, I remember reading that. However, it does not explain why he seems completely incapable of correctly listing a sales thread. Not that many of us would buy from him anyway. I am sure potential buyers love seeing a blinking suck on that avatar. I can't imagine that it fills his customers with a lot of confidence in the seller. Probably true. Although, as long as he was selling hot books, he'd find tons of buyers here even if he had a blinking avatar that said, 'I will ship you a German newspaper.' In case anyone wants to try this out... Love it!

I say without a doubt. That is extremely shady. Several people thought they had the book reserved for them and then did not buy another one from other sellers when it came available because they already had one. Now they do not have one at all.

True enough on that! I would imagine that the Black Cat would have many accidental "spills" if she was real and trying to fight and jump around in those outfits. She wouldn't make it one minute. Oh and just to be clear. I actually agree with what you guys are saying and totally respect and genuinely interested in a woman's point of view on this topic. My only point is that everyone who likes JSC is not necessarily a sexual deviant.

They're producing it because people are buying it, so it's more an indictment of the consumer. I said this many years ago on here but I think some people buy these books and ogle cosplayers at cons because it's an 'innocent' and under the radar way of getting their soft porn fix. Ok, if we are going to psychoanalyze that somehow buying a J. Scott Campbell cover means you are trying to get your soft porn fix, then please analyze the mental issues of all the 30-50 year old men on here read comic books with men in tights trying to save the world. If you're genuinely interested in the answer to that question, you might want to read Supergods (Grant Morrison). I was speaking rhetorically. I completely agree about the covers that are nothing short of being straight porn but if we are going to generalize people we should really look at this hobby as a whole. You know, the whole throwing stones in a glass house analogy. Most people assume comic book readers are little nerds that have no life and sit in a basement all day trying to live out a fantasy since they have boring lives. In reality you have collectors that do or have fought in wars overseas, are police or firemen and live pretty eventful lives already proving that judgement wrong. I don't think anyone is making the argument that people buy GFT covers or JSC ones because they live boring lives though. Plenty of very interesting people read comics, as you say. And everybody likes to fantasise to a greater or lesser extent (about many different things, for that matter). I can't speak for anyone else, but to me, comics - like all fiction - are about escapism. Power fantasies of superheroes and whatever else are totally consistent with that. Sexual ones (and again, I'm including the whole spectrum of "sexual" when I say that) aren't - primarily because there are other, purpose-built, avenues for that kind of thing. That's the only point I'm trying to make. And that's why I at boob pockets. To me, that's nothing to do with what comics should be about. Others have a totally different view, and that's great - I'm not trying to impose mine on anyone. (thumbs u Oh and at boob pockets! That is actually pretty funny.

At least it's not WHIZ_BANG_POW_IS_AWESOME [/quote I bet he changed it because no one is buying his junk in the sales thread. I warned him when he first got here that if he made a spectacle of himself and decided to be a seller no one would trust him. It goes without saying that we knew that was going to be his only reason for being on the boards in the first place.
