I love the guy's artwork, I just wish he would finish / release his Spider-Man story. Or do another Danger Girl run.

The storyline they chose to go with in Amazing Spider-Man 2 should have made it one of the best comic book movies. Instead they made something borderline poor. The people who are running the series can't be fans of Spider-Man and those #121 and #122 issues. The only thing making the movie watchable are the effects and casting of Peter and Gwen.

They made the easy choice. She'll be good in the role but probably not iconic. Which is too bad because Motoko and the Ghost in the Shell material deserves a movie that is close to Blade Runner level.

I've seen graded Spawn early issues go for good amounts. Someone told me the rarer issues of Spawn but I can't remember. It certainly wasn't those early issues that everyone thought would be the next Batman, Amazing Spider-Man, etc. I wonder what the reception of Ms. Marvel #1 will be like? The variant will go for a lot. The interior art looks nice too.

I might get this early, I don't want to wait for my usual few month comic order and find out this comic sold out or went up. But I don't think Rucka's stuff goes for crazy amounts. Stumptown never went for much I think.

I just stick with the standard 2 Mil Mylar. No need for anything else.

I order a lot of stuff from Bags Unlimited, but I don't believe I've ordered plastic boxes from them. I assumed they were the same ones everyone is carrying (it seems there is only a single manufacturer of these, though different distributors call them different things). BU boxes have the same (similar?) oval hand-holes the other problem boxes have had. The old ones from Canada had more rectangular hand-holes, had rounded edges (not the sharp rough-cut edges along the top), and were a heavier plastic. But if BU has a new product, I'm willing to try it. Anybody with experience with their long boxes? Maybe I should not have called them new. But they are fairly new to me. But they do have the oval holes. I was just looking in one of my long boxes with older comics. I forgot I put acid free paper on the sides of the box. It's probably going too far. The E Gerber ones are probably the best but I just can't pay their more expensive cost for smaller boxes compared to the Bags Unlimited plastic boxes. Unless the plastic boxes are really bad. Which my small plastic boxes have no problems.

Are you talking about the new Bags Unlimited long plastic boxes? My small plastic box seems really strong. I'm going to use either a 2 or 1.43 mil Mylar from E Gerber for the back to back. I'm going to do it both to save money and space. Since going from a 27" long normal box to a 20" long plastic box will add boxes around my place. My concern is the weight of the boxes doubling up on the comics in the bags. But I did place TPB and HC books in my long normal comic boxes at one point. So it shouldn't be that much of a problem for the plastic boxes. At least I hope it isn't.

In the last couple of years I've made the transition to Gerber Mylite2 Golden/Silver w/ a Fullback and the box made for these. I love this setup! Books have plenty of room and the Fullbacks are great. Yeah, they are expensive, but I love my books. As far as the plastic boxes go, I use the corrugated plastic boxes from Bags Unlimited for my CGC books. I got tired of the cardboard boxes falling apart due to the heavy weight of the slabbed books. I've had NO problems with the plastic boxes from BU and recommend them highly. The plastic boxes I have are from Bags Unlimited. Those E Gerber boxes are only 15" long according to the site. The plastic boxes are 20". I have the smaller plastic ones now. I guess I'll go with the longer plastic. Also does anyone here put two comics per Mylar? One front and one back? I'll probably do that for the low cost runs.

I use the smaller plastic boxes for my comics that are in Mylar. I'm new here and was thinking about starting a topic on this. Let's see if people can help me here. I'm thinking about getting the longer plastic boxes for my comics. The plastic boxes are stated as acid free. Normal long comic boxes aren't acid free. At least the ones I've seen. They are good for moving and not having a lot of boxes around. But I don't want to put my Mylar/acid free boarded comics in one of those normal boxes. And I'm going to make the transition to all Mylar soon. I want a good acid free box for storage/transport and to be done with it. Of course until the comics reach their final display home. The E Gerber boxes are a bit smaller than the largest plastic box and will basically double my box load. Plastic seems like the only option. What do you guys think?
