Titles counts and keeps countin', and we knows now finding the trick of who's been titled and titles lost ain't no easy ride. But that's our lot, we gotta' travel it. And there ain't nobody knows who they're gonna' title next. Still in all, every night we seeks the title, so that we 'member who we was and where we came from... but most of all we 'member the Mods that finded us, them that came with titles. And we lights the boards, not just for the 'membrance of Arch or  Gemma but for CGC Mike, and for all of them that are still out there. 'Cause we knows there comes a night, when they sees the distant light, and another Custom Title be comin' home.

2 titles enter, one title leaves

Something that involves special oil

So THATS why I haven't gotten one in all these years! 

Just posting to see if my custom title was delivered yet

Custom titles still exist.  You have not received one (yet)    The rankings are gone.  On a side note, I see we all just lost our join date.  I have alerted web help to try and fix this asap.

I knew something was missing

Dena and I had a meeting about 3 months ago, and racked our brains over this.  The rankings were not changing with the post count like they used to.  As it turns out, I believe they turned into achievements instead of post counts, and we don't use achievements.  So, we did away with the rankings, and now everyone is listed as a member.  @dena might be able to explain it better but, that is the way I (my old brain)  remembers it.

So no more custom titles?  Well that's no fun!

Anyone know the reason?  @CGC Mike

I used to be a Total Newbie and now I'm just a member!  NM

Wow, I don’t remember that. I read most of the ROM run as it came out too. It has been 40 years though, and my brain is far from what it used to be.

If that storyline didn’t happen, maybe it should have.

I only read two issues of ROM and they were the ones with Galactus in them...last page of the 2nd book (and he actually moves the planet, not them):

The Dire Wraiths from ROM? If so, I have to admit that I don’t remember them fighting.

If I remember correctly, ROM averted the big G from devouring his planet by showing him the Wraith world which he was not able to consume.  In retaliation, the big G bannished ROM and friends far away from their homeworld.

Are all powerful characters as entertaining longterm? Superman has been stale through long stretches and I believe it's due to his powers. I think it makes the writing more difficult, coming up with stories that don't rely on gimmicks or a 'kryptonite' to be a threat. Great adversary's are harder to come up with. Spiderman probably has the best list of villains, because they don't have to be world-beaters.

Agreed.

I think a limited series on each one you named would be interesting, but longer then that would drag.  With great power comes great responsibility and with greater power comes tougher story lines.

I really liked the first ep and after seeing the "in the coming episodes" portion it looks pretty good.  I already wonder how many seasons this will take on, hope its at least 8. 

I was checking out Mycomicshop website and saw this pretty cool JB cover on their first page.

Placement, placement, placement. Signature placement makes all the difference in the world. My 100% biggest gripe is when I window a book and it is removed from the bag for a signing. I get it the creator/writer likes a certain place but I've researched examplars and know what their signature looks like and where I want it.

This is my biggest pet peeve and lead me to start this thread...

The worst offense is to sign a book in black sharpie on a black (or dark colored) part of the cover.

Coming 9 years after the first film which got only 12% on Rotten T.  Well I guess they can only improve upon the original.

0 cents?  Nice, precursor to free comic day!  

Not sure what type of bag, but I would've absolutely killed whoever spilled whiteout on the book.

Cancelled.  But there’s a thingamajigerdodad event in the works.  Special guest star will be the Invisible Man with his invisible slab collection. 

That was renamed to whozeewhatzit

it is not in any way shape or form Charles Vess.

Maybe in the Multiverse? 

Think I'll skip this one...still waiting for a whatchamacallit event

Jason Aaron is my guess

Don't think it's Aaron, but not really sure its Vess either.

Why would he pay Hyperion and how much does he owe him?

Could be Charles Vess
