The trends so far are strongly geared around the highest population books. Guy's are subbing books in demand. The total population of books out there is largely irrelevant, as the absolute population of a book is never listed for sale simultaneously. We only ever see limited numbers of a given book offered for sale. Demand is the strongest factor in determining what, are how many books come to the market. The market is self regulating. The fluctuations in price will present, but total populations of books, has little or no impact on the price for books with mature populations. ASM #300 35,000 copies out there.. HOT! Spawn #1 32,000 copies out there... HOT! Wolverine Limited 1-4 49,000 copies out there... HOT! Etc, etc, etc The biggest subbed SA book is FF #48 with 9,000 copies. The book couldn't be any more hot than it currently is. Mid grades books for keys are their own markets, book by book. For non-keys, mid grade books are a constant, flat price appreciation, that is a constant.

So they dropped him on hearsay?

Isn't that old news, that he was cleared of? This third-party judiciary via social media is getting tiring. We're meant to take the assertion of aggressive behaviour at face value, without any details at all, or right or reply from the accused? Give me a break! This is way too old.

Dam, thats a good looking 9.2! Even with the iffy scan, it stands out. Looking at the staples, those pages were never lifted too often.

Should have been in the Loki thread. The video and the tv series give him the same amount of screen time

TWD #1 is calling off, Invincibles #1 CGC 9.8 are about $1,000 ahead right now.

So the question is a streaming service more aligned to a Tech company, or a movie studio? I would lean towards tech, based on the growth strategy they are exhibiting. The same can be clearly said for music streamers as well, where contents providers are paid a pittance. It's a new model moved in on in the Movie business, hence why the writers are in the situation in the first place. The rules of the game has already changed, and of course, employed wages are last to catch onto the fact.

Thats a very cool tool.

None of the tech based companies chase profit. They pursue balance sheet value, through % of market share. They are not focussed on the profit and loss performance, that is secondary. The model is creating the biggest audience, that can be leveraged at a future time, with a long profit tail. The initial growth period is not about individual years profit or loss. Growth is metric they're chasing. Don't look at these companies even in 5-10 year picture, they're looking well past that. Albeit, they might have sold their shares before then. The film industry is notorious for front loading costs into whatever production is currently going. The SAG-AFTR need to pursue a cut of the gross revenue, and nothing else. Otherwise they're just asking accepting a royal shafting.

Yeah not helpful.

The colorisation is a 70's tribute in itself. The B&W was a tribute to the golden era of film. Both were really enjoyable, I for one applaud the move. A black and white release was innovative in this day and age, showing that great movies stand primarily on the emotion they generate, and not solely revolving around the vfx team.

They really did think this one through. I watched it last night, and felt it hit all the requisites exceedingly well, cast, acting, story, and cinematography. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Dam you Taika Waititi!!!! From high of $2,500 speculating dollars for the variant, all the way down to "no one was bidding" sale of $18

Episode 3 was a nice step up. Having Jonathan Majors in the episode definitely helped.

Thats it in a nutshell. The bay is not the place to be buying or selling big ticket items. I''m surprised the Hulk #1 was only a 20% margin under the Clink result.

If you zoom in on the face, you can see a striking resemblance to their editor.

A great group shot! Any close ups to go with it?

Ebay would be top of the IRS's compliance reporting list for this item. Though they only have addresses, not tax declarations in their clients account details. Delivery address isn't proof of anything.

The rabid WWBN crew has to be a tiny demographic, no? I took the B&W release as a masterful nod to the golden era of cinema. Lon Chaney Jr, Claude Reins, true legends in the pantheon of movie stars. Friends who watched it, loved it. WWBN already has 66,000 reviews on IMDB! Thats a staggeringly strong response. The B&W format was a winner. This color version is a colorisation as well, the filter/fx effect looks appropriately selected.

Agreed. A lot better than I imagined.

Time to get into... WTH!! Even DarkHawk costs real money to collect!!! The fact that guys are paying more than $50 for this book stagers me

I remember Ian talking about books that were delaying completion, weird odds and sods, like Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Annual #2. I think all the usual suspects will be sucked up. The real gems are in Ian's experiences putting the collection together

There will be ramifications yet to be seen or imagined. The impact of AI will be across the board in the movie business/(defacto comic worlds) for years to come. But I see it as static edition, it can "create", but I think that should be replaced with replicate. Lately we've seen a backward trend on the quality of movies brought to the market. There's a lot of reasons for that. Will AI be the sole vector that changes that trend? My take is a firm no.
