  1. Here's the thing guys. Sony took two shots at Petey Parker. One with Toby McGuire and one with Andrew Garfield. They tried the awkward, schmucky Spidey and the too cool for school Spidey. Neither was very effective. Plus they burned through a bunch of villains and killed off the Green Goblin in the first movie. They made quite a few tactical mistakes. Miles makes sense and I'm not convinced they use him in the current storylines past CW. They could use him to run through the gambit of villains that made ASM 1-20 such great reads in the first place. I'm talking Scorpion, Kraven, Mysterious, Vulture; etc. Miles could work, if for no other reason than Sony did Peter Parker no favors. I would not write off the UF 4 for around $20.
  2. :gossip:It's been all over the Internet all weekend.
  3. Jimmy Linguini knows his mess. He called this two weeks ago. Atta boy, Jimmy!
  4. . I'm getting the NG 1 sales when I click. Ygogolak is right. Nothing real impressive. All under $50.
  5. I don't think you can go wrong with either book. Pick the one that makes you the happiest and buy the nicest copy you can find within your budget.
  6. Wow. Jim Starlin is going to personally handle the adaption. Thanks for the tip, FD. Any action on Epic #3 yet?
  7. Man, I might have one or two of those as well. Thanks, guys. My family and I appreciate the info and I love the entertainment. I plan on donating a decent prize for the upcoming grading contest to give back (by decent I mean $80-$100 book) so please sign up if you have not already.
  8. Just pulled a 9.4/9.6 out of a longbox. You guys are all studs. I just want you to know that.
  9. Very nice, Sir. You are right on both counts. The 300 appears to have the top spot on the leaderboard unless we are forgetting one.
  10. I'm sure there are hoardes of undiscovered NM 98's out there. There's also hoardes of fanboys that would be eager to buy them. I'm not sure that isn't the most heavily graded book in existence already. I would assume it's at least top 5.
  11. After taking another look, it does appear the WD 127 preview mimics part of the story around pages 6-8 of Outcast. Because of this, I'd agree WD 127 is the preview, and Outcast #1 is the 1st app.
  12. Man, I can't find digital copies of either book anywhere. Anyone feel like posting a scan of the panels of the WD preview from either book in the name of research? NVM. Found it. Both these issues preview the first 5 pages of WD 1. I believe WD 127 is an original, 3 page prologue different from what appears in Outcast #1. Does/should this make a difference?
  13. Quick question, gang. With the upcoming Outcast show this may merit some discussion. WD 127 came out 1 month before Outcast #1. It contains a 3 page intro where Kyle Barnes is fully pictured, called by his first name and at the end of the prologue the statement is made that the story continues in Outcast #1 next month. Outcast #1 is listed as the first appearance and I'm sure the character is explored in much greater detail. Any thoughts on this either way?
  14. Nice guy, pays fast, and easy to work with. One of the board's best.
  15. I bought two last night just in case . Im also on board with Battle Scars #1 and Batman/Superman #8.
  16. Explain to me why it is going to sky rocket? Just because the board hates Sony's depiction of the Spidey movies the movies are a mega hits world wide. I don't see where a Marvel/Disney movie is going to demand a spike. Better movies maybe but has'nt the train left the station on AF 15? Maybe if some HG copies are flushed out and sell way over #s. But I'd say AF 15 keeps on climbing steady switch or no switch. Now if you told me Spidey villians might be finally done right and those should be hot I'd agree with that. I think he was speaking (typing) with a hint of sarcasm. And I would agree with you. The blue chip Spidey Villains should get a little push. 3,14,50,300 in particular. Can't rule out 4,15 & 20 either. Mmmmmorbius You might be onto something.

  18. Hot book and a nice copy. I think it's a foregone conclusion people believe it's only a matter of time before we get Warlock in the Infinity Gauntlet movie arc.
  19. This gentleman knows his stuff. Upon further review, I will backtrack on the 71 until I can give it a good read.
