Action Comics 419. Wow.

 

Love those photo covers from Marvel and DC.

+1

This A-Force looks like one of the more dreadful ideas as of late… even if written by Willow Wilson which is good on Ms. Marvel… Bah…

 

is this the prequel to T&A Force?

 

No, it's the sequel to A.N.A.L. Agents of Smash.

NM, they went back to Totleben for the regular cover. Not feeling this one either.

 

You do realize the guy is technically blind

 

miracleman or totleben?

 

John Totleben has been suffering from retinitis pigmentosa. His condition worsened during the time he was doing Miracleman for Eclipse and although all the difficulties he managed to produce some of the most captivating pieces of art, such as MM15.. His sight impairment aside I think his current rendition to MM15 is just as eerie as his early work. Im a fan

No, did not realize that. That's pretty badass for a person that can barely see.

NM, they went back to Totleben for the regular cover. Not feeling this one either.

Eh, give me the original MM #15...

 

This is actualy a big deal. Rare book that was never reprinted till now, plus you get new extras including a house ad concept art, the development of the original cover from sketch to inks to colors, scans of the original artboards of ten pages, character study and scene sketches by Totleben, layouts and sketches, and an unused layout page for page 19

Im alll in on that one

It's the only good regular cover I have seen yet. All the other regular covers have been absolute garbage.

Eh, give me the original MM #15...

Agreed, 15 is a Copper classic.

You don't have to jump on the bandwagon if you don't want to, but a week ago nobody was looking for this book.

The fact that it isn't the first appearance of Spawn nor the first preview of Spawn is a pretty good reason not to jump on the bandwagon.

Sure, for some it may be.

I don't understand why people would want the Cat #1 when this is the real book to get:

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Giant-Size-Creatures-1-High-Grade-1st-Tigra-with-Werewolf-By-Night-NICE-/351299176438?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51cb1007f6

 

I think the cat 1 is the book to get...ff 66-67, Thor 165 vs. Marvel premiere 1 argument that has been going on here for a while now...

 

The Cat is the book to get for what? The Cat is not Hellcat. Greer Grant is Tigra, OK, so if you like Tigra you have to keep both the Cat mini-series and the Giant Size Creatures.

 

Aside from this, anyone still insisting on the relevance of Thor #165 (story wise) have just never read the stories (or deliberately want to ignore a 40+ years of comics history). A cool cover, whatever you want, but nothing more. The story is also inconsistent.

 

It's the one to get regarding bronze age books that are heating up on eBay...

 

Ah! – wasn’t the hype about Hellcat, or Patsy Walker for what matters?

 

That's what I thought too, but it seems it's the first appearance of the costume that matters

 

I didn't think or even care about the hellcat connection. The cover is cool as is the book. I owned a decent copy and sold it a while back and was looking to replace it with a better copy. This movie hype is eventually going to kill the back issue market. Its like baseball cards of old.

Tigra has been rumored to be a character on Agents of Shield for a while.

I agree about the baseball cards to movies, once John Goodman played the Babe cards really took a nosedive.

You don't have to jump on the bandwagon if you don't want to, but a week ago nobody was looking for this book.

I'm just surprised someone actually has a 9.8 of that book.

 

It's much more understandable than something like this/

http://m.ebay.com/itm/331384300040?nav=SEARCH

can't we just all get along?

It's the Internet. Nobody is ever wrong.

Hot book that is finally getting its due after years of being idle. Hulk 324. Of course there is movie speculation involved but I have always thought this book should be worth more than it was.

 

Because of the return of the grey Hulk? I don't get it...

+1 Unless there is something in the book I am missing like a 1st Appearance or something this is really Not anything to chase... Jeez just grab a modern reprint of hulk #1

 

 

Synopsis for "The More Things Change"Edit

 

SHIELD has made a new genetic bath to cure Bruce Banner by making him control the Hulk. But something goes wrong, when Rick Jones notices that General Ross is fooling with the tank. At the same time Hulk is thrown in the bath. Rick and Ross fight, but the battle ends with Rick thrown into the bath too. Suddenly the tank breaks, and the new Hulk is born. He is Gray again after all these years.

 

REALLY ! That's it and this is a chase book? someone tell me its more than Hulk being grey again !

 

Isn't the Grey Hulk from #1 actually a retcon which took place after #324 though? .

 

I dont know how Hulk #1 can possibly be a retcon?

 

He was grey in the '62 #1 issue because of a printing ink problem. In #2 he is green, he was never intended to be grey. #324 is the first true grey hulk.

As I understand it you've got it backwards. There was generally a problem with the way comics were printed at that time ensuring a consistent gray (which makes sense if the gray is composed of cyan, magenta, and yellow; the printer would get variations if there were contaminants in the ink), so with issue 2 they decided to change him to green, which was easier to keep consistent from one issue to the next.

EDIT - duh, the book comes out on feb 25 I forgot.. Just spoke to the store and they said that they are trying to get Hughes for the signing on the release date.. Keep you updated

I'm just asking because of their last exclusive, ASM 4, and the SDCC debacle.

90 Day is $184.00, up from a 2014 avg of $151.00.

Nothing dramatic, but healthy.

 

 

sweet, 1 and 4 are the stars, while 2 and 3 are afterthoughts.. will be fun to watch.

Don't sleep on 2 either. 1st Carrie Kelley as Robin.

Broad and generalized statements are only "incorrect" when presented as absolutes or applied to individual cases without consideration of specific facts and individuality. Or when they're complete B.S. not based on reality, obviously.

 

I like this.

Yea, after three pages of people basically saying the original statement was incorrect he wants to back away from it.

*****Read into this statement as in 2015 , we now have a new generation of collectors who want to collect/pay good money for the books they had as kids.*****

What do you think happened to the books they had as kids? They probably still have them.

 

Most of the people who don't still have the comics they had as kids in the 80s and 90s probably no longer care about comics.

still kinda strange its worth so much tho...

The 4 issues together barely sell for above cover, go figure. It's all about the Skottie cover

I had no problem getting $40 for a set. Well over cover.

Somebody with a Hot Topic copy needs to make take a photo of the ad in it.

Everyone's going to go out and get themselves a 9.8 slabbed copy of Incredible Hulk #1 now. Now where did I put all of those?

, except that's not the first true Grey Hulk.

I still have all of my OO copies.

Most are bagged and boarded.

 

But I read them. Read them all like crazy. And it shows on many.

Man, I love comics....

Did you keep them at your parents or move them?

Or still live there?

It is?

Well I for one had no idea.

 

What was it originally in?

 

I missed that too.

What If books, as a BACKUP story.

This book cannot be compared to TWD Weekly, Marvel Tales, Marvel Super Action books for example because it has a totally new cover, by a hot artist and it's a collected edition of backup stories.

This was kind of surprising. I have a big stack of these and have never broken $20 before.

 

I can't fathom these late 70's Marvel #1s...which are among some of the most hoarded books in existence...selling for more than $3 raw.

 

One LCS I go to has a short box of these. I think they are priced at $8-10.

Shazam #1 is in that category as well, well used to be.

 

yes - if you can get high grade Shazam 1s for $10, jump all over them.

A year or more ago or so I saw about 4 at an LCS. Had no interest with them.

But I did pick up their only copy of 28 for $8.

That's a broad and generalized statement and therefor incorrect. People move, go to college, etc...if they can't store them at their parents place they probably sold them online or at a garage sale. Now they want some of them back.

I must have missed this. What movie hype is driving SA 205?

 

 

I've been looking for a decent copy of Strange Adventures 205 for a bit. If I do find an appropriate copy I will likely be fine in purchasing it despite the fact that it will all but likely be marked up as a result of the movie hype.

 

I guess something like a rumored Justice League Dark flick

Deadman = JLD = Del Torro movie -script = hype

anyone else have any sediments?

 

 

I have some in my backyard.

Bottom of my wine bottle.

"Madam MacEvil" will be next!

The next announcement? Books are already creeping up in anticipation.
