Yeah, but Silk barely plays a part in the current books. Maybe eventually?

From the other thread linked to: Solar #3 (1991, first Toyo Harada) Harbinger #1 with coupon (1992, first Harbinger team kids) X-O Manowar #1 (1992, first X-O Manowar) X-O Manowar #4 (1992, brief first Shadowman) Shadowman #1 (1992, first full Shadowman) Solar #10 (first printing, 1992, first Eternal Warrior, first Geomancers) Archer & Armstrong #0 (1992, first Archer & Armstrong, but a limited gold variant exists) Eternal Warrior #4 (1992, brief first Bloodshot) Rai #0 (1992, first full Bloodshot, HARDCorps, key storylines issue) Shadowman #8 (1992, first Master Darque) Archer & Armstrong #8 (1992, first Ivar the Timewalker) Solar #10 (second printing, 1992, first Eternal Warrior, first Geomancers) Bloodshot #6 (1993, first Ninjak) Shadowman #16 (1993, first Dr. Mirage) Quantum & Woody #1 (1997 Acclaim title, first Quantum & Woody, two covers exist) Many of these are technically "Modern" but they're all from the '90s. I'd add Harbinger #15 (first Livewire) as well.

Funny, I was just going through some books last night, saw a few of those, and wondered whether it would just be best to toss them. Still, In imagine people are buying these for the shipper, not the comics

They did that with Spider-man for Brand New Day, and that's what led me to give up on Marvel altogether. The underlying problem is that their branding is their characters, so they need them to be recognizable. But as a monthly publisher, they also need their characters to change in order to tell interesting stories. These two things are at odds with each other. Personally I think Marvel would be better off going a "New 52" route and restart everything from scratch every so often. They could have done that with the Ultimate line. They should have let that replace the original line; then they could have let the characters from the original line have their stories come to some logical conclusion, rather than continuously shoving them back to the status quo. Then in another 20 years you start up a new line that's more in line with society then. Then each new #1 would actually mean something.

When they relaunch the next time they should keep the original legacy numbering, and the legacy numbering picked up from each of the previous #1s. Until the entire cover is covered with numbers

Just buy every comic you see until you're broke and can't afford rent. That's what I do. – Sent from my local LinkNYC kiosk. GET AWAY FROM THOSE BOXES, @$$#ØLE

Same here. I was 14 when I started collecting comics in the late '80s. But it still comes off as whining if you read too many in one sitting.

I know it's not a lot of money, but I never expected that I'd be able to sell some of my late-'80s DC drek at any price: https://www.ebay.com/itm/152959436403?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1559.l2649

Limiting yourself to one a month seems a little unnecessary, but I'd recommend not reading too many in one sitting. I binged on Classic X-Men, and whatever back issue runs of Uncanny I could put together (my first issue was 216, but I now have a run from about 140 to 400, and a bunch of issues prior to that), and I found that the X-Men come off as whiners if you read too many at once, because it seems that at least once an issue someone points out how the rest of humanity "fears and hates them." I understand why Claremont did this; any issue might be someone's first, and you want your readers to understand who the X-Men are. And no one had the internet to catch them up.

This is the "moderns heating up" thread. Not the "moderns that I'm disappointed aren't heating up because I stocked up on the hopes they would" thread.

If this was an auction, maybe. But with a 6-figure BIN? I doubt anything is about to "get real"

Yep! I sold one of mine for $30. It had a little bid of a bidding war last minute it seemed. I also realized while listing my other Infinity books that I have a high grade newsstand of War #1!

I worked in printing for a while in the late-'90s/early 2000s (interestingly, for a company that also did computer coloring for comics; Crusade, Event, and Acclaim were some of our biggest clients). Physical matchprints were the standard for color proofing when I started, but by the time I moved on from that job, we did digital proofing for almost everything. Much cheaper and almost as accurate. For comics, digital proofing works fine.

My thoughts here:

Since the money book you'd probably want is the same book for both characters, and is from the Golden Age, it's probably already pricey.

Ignore this post.

This book could very well be this bubble's Turok #1. Pretty much anyone that wants one is already going to own multiple copies, having invested big, but with no one to sell it to. The contrarian tends to be the one that makes money with investing/speculating; I may need to pop a bunch of other stuff on eBay before this particular bubble bursts.

Just wait for 888

I have a hunch that there are a decent amount of collectors that are PoC that are buying these books. And while it may be realized later that a better deal may have bene had, I think there is not going to be regret over buying the book. Let's not forget that JA 6 is also the first BP solo story, and that it introduces a few elements of Wakanda.

I think Black Panther is kind of changing the rules. But probably only for Black Panther comics.

I should have sold my mid-grade as a BIN. Someone got a deal, compared to some of the recent results: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Jungle-Action-6-F-VF-feat-Black-Panther-first-Killmonger-Preyy-Warrior-Falls/152932055778

How is Disney supposed to "take over" a company they already own?

I'm going to preface this by saying that I've barely read any Spider-man since One More Day/Brand New Day (which was an awful idea and made me pretty much quit reading Marvel altogether). I was going to make a stupid joke and say that Peter is going to be the Red Goblin. But I thought about that for a sec, and thought… what's a synonym for "red"? "Scarlet" comes to mind. Are there any clones of Peter still running around?

Oceanside is on the south shore of Long Island. Not too far from Brooklyn. Could be that someone ships from his office
