A tease...

I know about the silver logo cover...

You have to pay to get grader's notes. I know, but CGC's website says that there are no notes available. I don't even have the option to buy them. I can see this with a 9.8 as there is not much to note. However, I would think an 8.0 would warrant notes to explain how they arrived at this grade. Hey Kaptain! Ok, I see what the main problem is with this book. Apparently, this book was kept in a comicbag for a *long* time. Long enough that that the plastic of the bag adhered to the front cover in places. As some point in the past, when the book was finally removed from the bag, the bag took a lot of color and ink from the front cover. If you look at the big "JOKER" logo, it should be a solid red. However, all those yellow streaks on the logo are from where color was literally peeled off the front cover. (And this probably happened years ago- if something like this occurred when one of the graders at CGC removed a book from a bag, CGC would contact the submitter. While this is not a common defect, it is one we see every once in a while in the grading room. It seems to be most common with DCs and Marvel from the 70s and early 80s and almost always affects the reds in the cover the most.) That's why, even though it looks *structurally* to be around a 9.4, it only got a VF grade. I'm sorry it didn't get as high as you were hoping for.

It's either this, or stand around with his hands in his pockets.

I wasn't around for that one.........information anyone? I remember someone on CAF Fake selling or something like that a blank Adlard cover

Hey all, As was mentioned previously in the thread, the matter is being investigated even as we speak. As far as announcing anything here on the boards currently, the only two people authorized to do that are Paul or Harshen. Paul is currently flying back from Seattle and Harshen had scheduled the day off to to attend to his fathers surgery today. Rest assured, once we have a better idea as to the facts involved, we'll make a statement here on the boards.

I've always felt that there was something similar about these two covers, but I've never been able to quite put my finger on it.

There pretty much was! Check out this 35-part blog series "The Life of Reilly" about the Clone Saga, with imput by Spider-writer/editor Glenn Greenberg. http://lifeofreillyarchives.blogspot.com/2008/03/part-1.html

No, no. Jim Owsley (aka Christopher Priest) is the guy who *wrote* SPIDER-MAN VS. WOLVERINE, specifically with the intention of having Ned Leeds die in it. This is Peter David from his blog explaining how the whole ASM #289 reveal came about:

That a book that came with an action figure? I'm not sure. It's from 2001, but other than that I'm at a loss The first print would have come out about 9 years earlier, so chances are that printing was related to something like a toy or promo.

G.I. Joe #21 second printing does not exist. Only 1st and 3rd. (In other words, all the third printings would technically be second prints. But since they all say "Third Printing" on the 1st page, that's how they are labeled.)

Oh! Oh! I can think of one particular moment where Vader seemed to show at least a smidgen of humanity! Can you guess what it was? I have been trying to think of something in the original trilogy...not seeing it. The moment I'm thinking of is in EMPIRE right after Vader gives the order to lower Han into the carbon-freezing unit. Chewie starts to go crazy and Boba Fett raises his blaster to shoot him. Vader slams Fett's blaster back down. (And of course it's followed up with Fett turning to give Vader a "What the hell is *your* problem?!" look.) I thought he wanted his bargaining chips to lure Skywalker to cloud city to stay undamaged until he could spring the trap. I don't know about that. Vader knew that Luke was already on his way to Cloud City. And even if Chewie were killed, and Luke knew it, he would still come to Cloud City to save Han and Leia. I think Vader simply thought "There's no reason for the Wookie for to die. Solo will calm him down. I don't want anyone to die unless it's necessary."

Is this that "Gangnum Style" I've heard them talk about so much lately?

Oh! Oh! I can think of one particular moment where Vader seemed to show at least a smidgen of humanity! Can you guess what it was? When he let Admiral Motti go from his force choke without completely shattering his larynx? Nope! Guess again!

Probably old news, but I don't think the complete image has been shown in this thread. (Some people were speculating things like a baseball cap in the final part.)

PREDICTION: It will be revealed that Merle is the reason that his and Daryl's mom died in that fire.

you sure that's Maggie? looks like future Carl It certainly looks like where Carl is headed. It looks like Carl is headed to growing his eye back?!

FYI: When you choose the "image" option when submitting, CGC doesn't scan, they photograph. No, really. We have scanners. We use scanners.

I love it!!!! Thank you so much, Andy!!!!

Looking great so far, Andy!

Wait til they start saying it on the show. "My name is Me-SHAWN." "Nice to meet you, Me-SHOWN" "Where do you come from, ME-shawn?"
