I, too, need a haircut.

Anyone have good, affordable solutions for this? I like the idea of yoga blocks, but I don't know anything about their material composition in my make-believe archival setting. Anyone use these? https://www.bagsunlimited.com/category/241/comic-book-box-spacers

CLink doesn't start closing until next week. CConnect is the one ending now.

94 94. I enjoyed Bang! and asked my LCS to add it to my list. The writer is interested in pulp heroes and how those character types have iterated through pop culture for several decades. I don't know that it's going to be a breakout hit, but it intrigued me enough to keep me reading. Plus, I like to support Image and Boom!, so I'm always on the lookout for good titles from them.

Ooh, I need to find where I can stream this series. Loved the film.

I rented it and was unimpressed. Poor scripting, uninspired acting, weak fight choreography. I will give any comic film a chance and think HQ is a great, lasting character that will rightfully remain a fan favorite for a long time, but this was just weak imho.

Interior is color, I assume? Ain't no Allred without color.

Oh man, what a score. And here I was ignoring the pulp thread.

Dunno, but he does commissions. He sometimes shares them on Twitter. I'm sure he's at the top end of prices. He's such a big name at this point, a modern master in my mind.

I've purchased way too many. More than my usual imprudence already allows. Lots of good deals. Like I said earlier, no screaming deals, but ones worth grabbing for me. I'm buying for my collection, not to flip, so I'm happy to let them ride out what I still anticipate being a downturn in the coming months.

Only for the fearful imho. Those who can engage in thoughtful, informed speculation with an understanding of the limits around that speculation: those people can have fruitful conversations.

I would love for a real economist to study this. I anticipate volumes of research related to the pandemic for years to come across all fields of human activity. Hopefully, someone with expertise takes up collectibles.

Recessions aren't capable of happening when they want to happen. They aren't sitting around with their peers discussing timing. I suspect you meant something else. For what it's worth, economists have noted that we've been due for a recession the last couple of years, but the bull market kept defying that. It wasn't a matter of if, it was just when and how. Scientists have been warning of a pandemic since ebola and SARS. Also not a matter of if, but when and how. I consume a lot of news, and it was evident in December that this pandemic was coming. Unfortunately, leaders from top to bottom did little to nothing about it. For those people who do long-term planning for this kind of thing, they don't know precisely when, but they know it's coming sooner or later. Large companies have risk managers who develop disaster readiness plans. Governments do this, too, of course. How well either of those entities do it is another question, and not really the concern on this particular point.

Hypostitization.

What happens to these Disney kids?

I'll take the 96 at the discount please.

Same for his copper thread. What gives, Roy?

Psst, needs to go in Copper/Modern.

Hope springs eternal.

My personal experience buying comics these last two months is that I've made several purchases that I consider "good buys". I've been able to get books I've wanted at the bottom of FMV, but nothing that was a steal.

My DC grey tone collection needs this.
