So with Loki wrapping up is it worth the watch? I did watch the first two and found it kind of boring and lost interest. 

Do I have to pay taxes on comic book futures or options?

It has been a while since I submitted. How long does it take to show up as received in the system? It was delivered on 2/19 via USPS. Modern Fast Track submission.

It feels so fresh too.  I like Galaxies because it's similar to the old Spotlight series, but the main series is just kinda slow.  20+ issues and not much has been accomplished.  '84 just feels right.  #2 does come out next week and the A-cover looks super sexy.  

 

First issue of Secrets and Lies was solid. I'll have to give Galaxies a shot,passed on it with the main series being so boring.

A lot of nice books posted!

Nice books! Gratz on finishing your run.

Yeah those Heath Sea Devil covers are sweet. Slow working on a run of them.

Yeah I liked the original series a lot, it was one of few DC series I got back in my Marvel Zombie days. Never was able to get the whole series but the Janus Directive arc was cool. Plan on reading the whole series now that I have DC Universe. Plus other 80s titles I missed out on; Captain Atom, Firestorm, Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, The Question, etc.

Well certainly didn't see this coming, I would have thought he would end it around #300. Seemed to me there was a lot more story to tell, though I am sure there will be a spin off series down the road. Image is really going to be hurting in sales without WD and Saga.

Lots of good ones to choose from:

DC

DKR

Watchmen

Last Days of the JSA

Kingdom Come

Crisis on Infinite Earths

Marvel

Secret Wars

Punisher LS

Wolverine LS

Other

Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers

Kinda blah covers this year. I guess I'll take the Joker cover. Number 17 (1987) was my first guide. Sadly I got rid of all my late 80s up to the mid 90s price guides when I had stopped collecting.

I don't own any...unless Superman: The Golden Age, vol 1 counts.

Though 7 is out of reach for me, I could maybe do a 13 someday.

Picked this up recently. These DC war covers are just so great - over the top fantasy, or are they?

What it is not realistic to hang off your burning plane and fire your .45 at your pursuer. I will say nobody better in the era than Heath in realism of the tanks, ships and planes.

I just reread the old Great Darkness Saga from the copper age and the Darkseid War a few weeks ago. Great stuff! Been waiting for Grail to pop, but I have yet to see much action and have not seen her in any comics since her initial appearance.

Legion of Super Heroes and Teen Titans, best DC reading material of the early 80s.

I like to bend them and eat some greasy food before reading them.

Next up JLA #40 and #41 featuring the 1st and 1st full appearance of Grail. She is Darkeseid’s daughter and a well designed character to boot.  Half New God and half Amazon. She is immensely powerful in almost every way plus it seems she can fire off Omega beams. In other words, she is one super scary villain. Perfect addition to an upcoming movie in my opinion. The aretwork is outstanding for her entire run. 

I like both books but #40 was the winner out of the gate. Now it seems people are actively seeking both books and the price they will pay has narrowed in difference. The incentive cover to #40is gorgeous but it’s price does not seem to reflect its rarity yet. 

I own 2 CGC 9.8 of #40 plus 1 NM+ raw. I also own 3 NM+ raw of #41 and 3 of each of this run up to #50. 

Ratings

#40 and 41

Raw NM = 7 out of 10

CGC 9.8 = 8 out of 10

 

 

JL Darkseid War was a great read.

I enjoyed it, picked up the Yasmine Putri variant. Though the main cover was tempting too. Should be a fun series.

Authority nice thread! Appreciate your reviews.

Thanks FF. Next stop, complete my set of Action Comics 

Easily done if you have a million or so lying around.

Cap'n Storm arrived on Saturday, pretty solid low/midgrade copies of #'s 12 & 14 finishes the series for me! 

 

 

 

Little bit of tape pull on #14

 

Grats on finishing a series.

Dang missed the cut-off but my choices:

Battle 38

War 11

Navy Action 6

Combat 5

Navy Action 4

Honestly I could have picked another 5 easily!

A couple of posts back I showed my OAAW #198.  Bumped into it at a flea market for a couple of bucks. Had it as a kid and it has always been one of my favorite covers in this run. Got to thinking how I'd like to have a higher grade copy slabbed. Went on the bay and found 30 copies of this book. Only one slabbed at $56 with free postage in 8.0. Snatched it because it looked so pretty.

I love SA books. They are the books of my youth but just not that fun to collect anymore due to the ease of obtaining them. I prefer the challenge of the GA nowdays but sure love having a nice slabbed copy to appreciate this cool Kubert black cover!

Nice pickup. One of my favorite Rock covers.
