Amadeus Arkham

Is the "speckling" of the black areas of the cover a fairly common issue with this book? I've seen a lot of copies in various grades that have speckling on the mask area and the legs.

Because everyone loves a wedding?

Why is ASM Annual #21 heating up?

Moar lens flare.

You have a copy of #316 for sale? PM me.

I would think the character is more important than the...person?

? First appearance of Mockingbird.

316 isn't too random, it's Venom's first cover. That one has been hot for awhile. Hmm...you'd think as a Venom collector I would have known this.

Anything Venom is starting to get pricey. A CGC 9.8 of even a random book like Spidey #316 is getting to be north of $125.

So stock up on Astonishing Tales #6.

Long as they tone down the dark clouds and lens flare. Zack Snyder's getting to be almost Michael Bay-esque in using those tricks.

As long as it's John Stewart, I'm good on waiting.

Ah, Golden Age comics. It's not racist if we're at war with 'em! (thumbs u

Just like I planned. Haha.

Gotta start somewhere, right? The Amazing Spider-Man #252 and #375 I bought from boardies as well as the repro animation cel from the 1990s Spider-Man cartoon. Issue #375 is currently holding a place for my copy of #300 which is sitting in Joey's place awaiting pressing and grading. Hopefully I can get another frame and put issues #316, #375 and #347 in it. The Batman is awaiting my copies of 405-407 to come back from CGC and I will have the entire "Year One" run graded and framed on the wall. I'm trying to keep it simple since I don't have a lot of space with which to work. Keeping it to my favorite hero/villain feud and my favorite hero overall. Maybe someday when I upgrade to a bigger place I can have a proper "comic book room" but for right now this is a comic room/office that I share with my girlfriend.

It means that they have compared what you sent them to what was put on the order form.

Mine is currently sitting in Joeypost's garage waiting for him to work his magic, so put me down as a "raw" awaiting CGC.

Hey, remember when they teased that they were actually going to do something with The Leader?

Let me know what you want for that X-Men. Haha.

That's the nicest 5.5 I've ever seen.

For this evening's performance of Batman v Superman, the part of Bruce Wayne will be played by Reed Richards.

Is right after SDCC usually the "busy time" for CGC?

Too bad (for us, not him) that Idris Elba is tied up with Marvel. He'd make a perfect John Stewart.

My MST shipped out today. Hoping to have the books back by the time Obama's out of office.

Screw it. Just have Alex Ross hand-animate the flick.
