  1. MCS approves this message Crossing fingers for all those holders of 9.8's that it'll be a decent show, AOS sure didn't see much price bumps and its been on several seasons. Bitter? Nope I'm a realist. Factor in its netflix sure it'll have fans but I'm still not convinced these paid services trump basic cable tv shows right now in ratings. Maybe I'm too old and can't think outside the box enough. I liked Daredevil and binge watched them but it kinda kills the hype when the whole season is there on debut day IMO. These "paid services" 100% trump basic tv. What show still has raving reviews and is superior in quality ? Yup Daredevil...the show lots of people binged watched on its debut and are continuing to. A.O.S. hasn't seen much of a price bump in the comics because the show is mediocre and low on the quality barometer. What drives prices on comics is buzz and quality. The difference is the "buzz" isn't constant when the whole season is there to me. There really wasn't much discussion with my friends after each of us watched Daredevil. However shows that are weekly like Gotham, Strain, AOS has much more discussion in my groups of friends even casual conversations with people. I watched Daredevil over one weekend,,,,it was cool but after that it was a bit of a letdown to me, over too fast and a long wait till the next season. Ask yourself how many paid services are people really willing to spend over basic cable stations? You got Netflix, Amazon, HBO, Cinemax, Showtime & there go paid services. Add all those up and it is more expensive than a basic cable package. When 50 percent of Americans make less than 30 k a year and that is before taxes, add their cost of living plus family expenses cutting these paid extras are occurring whether that is promoted or not. I'm in my 40s. I work with 20 year olds. Many of them watched and wanted to talk about Daredevil. And they are average "kids". Not comics nerds I just pictured you as a DJ in a gentlemens club. "Next on stage...Electra!" I really liked Daredevil, thought is was done extremely well and maybe better than Gotham yet I enjoy Gotham more. Just can't tell if it's due to being more of a DC fan or how it involves a great deal more characters compared to DD. I like daredevil more and I'm a DC fan I think Gotham is too corny and I hate Jada pinkett in it. It has good moments, but I always just want to see batman doing some batmaning when I watch it
  2. Nothing crazy but big books for me recently were a bunch of Grant Morrison ss dscott did for me at sdcc and nycc, highlights include batman 655 reg and variant, 666, and an invisibles 1 which is super high up there for me, and a bunch of others. And not modern but love and rockets 1 9.4 :luhv from the great seanfingh Still waiting on my batman 608 rrp... One day you will be mine, oh yes, you will be mine
  3. I think that's gonna be my new tactic. Just throw out there that I preordered like 50,000 so people don't think a book is worth preordering... I've already said too much
  4. Who has a garage sale on a Thursday. Must be in the hood. Originally they all started on Friday, then someone had the idea to push his/hers one day up to "beat" the others. Now they are mostly on Thursdays around here. Just Hector and the soccer moms. hector and the soccor moms would be a good band name
  5. Just wanted to say I got my books, under graded if anything, shipped fast and super easy to work with. Thanks Nick
  6. Those are so impressive, congrats. That Saca jumping off the cliff is just incredible, that's what I should have done with my copies when I still had them
  7. Nice! Was that a Preacher 1? And welcome to the Boards, and the hobby! And condolences on your future bank account. You mean people keep money in other places than PayPal? Haha, that's how I felt after my last sales thread
  8. Congrats on the bone that's a sharp copy. I know you parted with some nice books to get it
  9. I need to figure out where AH! is going to be next so I can get mine signed and graded
  10. Batman 608 rrp, which also happens to be at the top of my want list. Who knows though, I'll get one and then it'll be something else. Funny how there's always another one to chase, and I never feel completely satisfied
