  1.  

    G.I. Joe & The Transformers all used "beams" instead of bullets, and the Cobra guys all ejected before their plane/helicoptor/boat/jeep blew up.

     

    I can't tell if this is supposed to be a humorous post or if it is just one of those nitpicking comments that bogs down a thread, At any rate yes while those Saturday morning cartoons from the 80s and 90s were rarely explicitly violent, violence was still a central theme of the shows.

     

    Studios do the same thing with movies these days, for the amount of death and destruction in movies like the Avengers and X-Men very rarely does the viewer actually see blood or gore. Nobody is going to care that Rocket Raccoon is out there blasting away aliens and monsters.

     

    This is America, sex and nudity is taboo here, not violence. I'm pretty sure kids these days are issued a copy of the latest Call of Duty game on their sixth birthday.

     

    Speaking of sex and getting back on topic, some of the more risque Hughes covers from Catwoman volume 3 are also sought after. Everyone knows of 51 of course, but issues 45 and 74 are also popular.

     

     

    A one sentence comment that "bogs down a thread" and your response is 4 paragraphs?

    :baiting:

  2. For the record, there have been a few tragedies involving kids between the time most of us were kids and today. It would be nice to act like they didn't happen, but sadly they did. I don't have kids of my own yet, but I do know that blame for a good bit of these was placed on media & parenting.

    That was why I am questioning the validity of a speculation as such.

     

    Now, back to the reminiscing... :cloud9:

  3. I'm gonna go out on a Groot limb and say that not only will the movie be a big hit, but Groot and Rocket Raccoon will be the next thing in toys. Start stocking up in August for your kids' Christmas wish lists.

     

    Everyone keeps saying Rocket is going to be huge with kids. Parents are OK with their kids watching and adoring a character with huge guns blazing a lot (killing)? I don't see how this would be OK for Saturday morning cartoons.

  4. Cap 6 is a fenomenon.

    I have two copies, 9.6 9.8 candidates, and I am tempted to submit them, but I am afraid that by the time they are slabbed, the hype could be gone.

    What do you think? Sell raw or slab them?

     

    He's signed for 7 movies or something crazy like that. There has never been a precedence like this to go by. Could be a $250 book by the next movie.

  5. If you could prove it I guess it would be but unless you write on the book "I PUT IN ANOTHER TATTOO " or you do a really bad job there is no way to know. if you put 1 book with the Tattoos in it naturally against a book with the Tattoos added it would look the same. Again if you dont mess it up.
    So barely detectable or undetectable resto = no resto. Got it. :o

     

    Considered restoration by whom? I don't think a third party would be able to tell, but who knows.

  6. Well I want to just kick myself in the sack, missed out on Manifest Destiny issue 1 when it came out, luckily I have the others. I have tried to snipe a copy of 1st print issue 1 and keep missing out. Last few that outbid me was in the 40-50 range.

     

    I smell Peter Panzerfaust all over again! May have to suck it up and pay $50.00 for one.

     

    the funny thing about MD - there is no talk of a tv show - but it continues to garner interest. All the previous "hot books" had all sorts of media chatter swirling around them. Sometimes a good comic book is just a good comic book.

     

    SAGA didn't either, which is that last book that really took off.

     

    Maybe there is still hope for comics!

  7. I think you're comparing apples and oranges.

     

    Mark Jeweler's inserts were placed in approx.. 5% (I believe) of issues and these were distributed to military bases, etc...

     

    Whereas the tattooz was in every ASM 238. So you cannot say that the MJ issue should be treated the same as a regular issue since they are much less common than an ASM 238 without tattooz.

     

    I believe that many collectors would consider an ASM 238 with the tattooz removed to be incomplete.

     

    From what you to are talking I think it's a somewhat valid comparison in the sense that there is no way of knowing how many 238's still have the original Tattooz in them, attached.
