  1. It's not in the book. They made it into a stamp of his signature.
  2. That's the exact point. Prices fluctuate all the time. It's the long play. That graph is from 2008 to present. If you look at that everyone has done really well.
  3. It was an attempt to garner a reaction from the OP as to the legitimacy of looking at the stock market as an indication of collectibles. So, that's a graph of the stock market. Is it a day, week, year, decade?
  4. Ah, Bendis brought him from Marvel. Makes sense.
  5. Sorry, no. You're assuming everyone views their personal financials the same way as you. My comic money and my work paycheck are two separate accounts. They do not cross streams. Live within your means and you will be fine. In regards to the window you are looking at, how does this graph look to you?
  6. Maybe I'm missing something. I thought you were mad because you hadn't received a shipping label but you had not yet sent photos of the damage?
  7. Not liking the blue. Also, when did Superman fight fake Thanos?
  8. Says the person on a site owned by a grading company
  9. todd_mcfarlane_official MY RECENT VISIT... “Stan Lee. I wonder how he’s doing?” It’s a question, I think, many of us in the comic industry have been asking ourselves recently. With a handful of news articles swirling on the internet about Stan, it has led to lots of questions. Through all of it, I really have focused on just one crucial question… “I wonder how Stan is doing?” With that in mind, I want to post about my recent visit to see my dear friend Stan at his house last week (March 29th). To be clear, what I am writing is strictly about the one hour visit I had with him. What Stan does with all the rest of his personal time was not something we talked about during my visit. When I entered the room where Stan was seated he welcomed me and asked that I sit next to him (since his hearing is far from perfect these days). And…how did Stan look you may ask? Like a 95-year-old man. I think we tend to forget that fact, at times, since he’s become so iconic and seemingly timeless. He’s a man who has been around for nearly a century. For the next 60 minutes, we talked about things like his growing up in New York, his love of comics, his even bigger love of his late wife Joanie and how he was doing health wise. He told me that getting old kind of sucked but said, “what are you going to do?” His stories told me how obvious it was that he missed his wife and, how every day, a pair of ducks come swooping down from the sky to land in his pool and then come up to the glass windows begging for food (which his wife would oblige every time). We talked baseball, movies and he asked what it was it like for me to live next to a giant natural desert preserve in Arizona. Basically, it was every day, normal banter mixed with a few fun stories. But soon it was getting late and I had to get going. As I got up to leave, Stan grabbed my hand and said, “Todd, thanks for coming by. Your visit is much better than any medicine I could take.” So, what did I observe on my visit for that one specific hour? I saw a 95-year-old friend. And for me, at least, that was comforting. TODD
  10. Ha, sounds like he has to that answer that question a lot. It's basically the same answer.
  11. You've talked about Saga as being almost unadaptable, where you and Fiona Staples are designing this story to be a challenge to bring to life outside of comics. Has your experience with Runaways, and the experience you're having with Michael on Y: The Last Man, changed your opinion at all on Saga and its ability to be adapted? Are TV and film even ready for a story of Saga's size and scale? (Laughs.) You know, I still probably think not yet. But I wouldn't have imagined what was possible with Runaways now being possible 15 years ago … so, maybe in 15 years we will have caught up. I still think for now, I flatter myself to think Fiona and I are doing something that celebrates what only comics can do, which is the scope beyond a Hollywood blockbuster in terms of the visuals, but also a challenging grown-up story like you would get in a long-form TV drama. I think it's still very difficult, with what we're trying to say and do, for that to be done in film and television. I remain not completely opposed to it. But for me, it's so not the goal. I would rather just keep my head down and keep making a great comic book, then get out there and chase a great adaptation. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/brian-k-vaughan-y-last-man-hulus-runaways-saga-1059577
  12. If this was an eBay case I would not be sending anything until I received photos of the damage.
  13. This book has doubled since 2015 and lows in 2016. Batman #423 1st Print CGC 9.8 $400
  14. Nothing confirmed. Appears a version of X-Force will be in the movie, but all the trailers have Cable and DP fighting each other. Very unknown outcome so far. Either way, the first movie is was gives characters a big bump now. After that it's pretty flat if they appear in other movies.
  15. Ha, I was thinking Batman Who Laughs, but that's a good one too!
  16. What if the took a long time character and combined him with another long time character? Brilliant! Wait, what if they took a long time character and made him bad and his costume was stolen from another comic manufacturer? Outstanding!
