    VintageComics got a reaction from FoggyNelson in Brave & Bold #28: Speculation on future pricing   
    They are a bit of an unfair comparison.
    Hulk #180 and 181 are impressive because they are the hottest BA books on the planet have have been for over a decade.
    But that doesn't diminish GSX #1 or X-men #94 (With GSX #1 being the 3rd appearance of Wolverine IIRC)

    It's unfortunate that in comics, a market is now decided by how well a movie does.
    It shows that it's a fickle market.

    Had this slabbed for a customer and it's not for sale but thought you guys would enjoy what is literally once of the nicest 7.0 copies I've ever seen. Yep, back cover is clean and solid.

    UK copies have been picking up steam for some time now.
    Personally, I don't think there is a difference although I know many disagree.

    Looks like this movie is breaking all sorts of barriers culturally.
    My kids absolutely loved the movie. Even my son, who refuses to watch Star Trek, LOTR or Star Wars and didn't really love any other Marvel movies loved this one.
    Marvel aimed for a different audience and they knocked it out of the park.

    So, all the pump and dump sites.
    There's so much BS pump and dump out there sometimes I just wonder if there are any normal people out there anymore.

    I think saying it's patently ridiculous is patently ridiculous.
    I can tell you that when I heard the Immigrant Song played for the Thor trailer it nearly made me jump out of my skin as it was a perfect match.
    I would have seen it regardless but I have no doubt that a soundtrack can often sway people who are neutral and definitely people will notice music when listening to a sound track.
    The Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack was so popular that it's become a phenomenon to itself.
    These are no longer 'comic book movies' and that is where you may not see the value of music. They are pop-culture fests and the more pop-culture you get for the dollar the more successful the film. They transcend comic books now.
    You don't think music has an affect on movie marketing? I think you're mistaken.
    Here's a couple of articles that demonstrate how difficult and expensive it is to use a Led Zeppelin song in a movie.

    If they didn't have any significant impact then why do they spend so much time, money and effort on soundtracks?
