  1. Children, young adults, parent, grandparents will relate to Peter Parker as Spider-Man because that's who has been Spider-Man for their entire lives. Interest waned in the ASM movies because they stunk, that's all really. Look at the pre-Nolan Batman movies. They were horrible and there wasn't even a thought of having someone other than Bruce Wayne as Batman in the later films. I hope UF4 keeps going up, I'm still finding them in the wild for cover price or less Children, not grandparents, are the demographic Disney and Marvel care about and want to cultivate. Miles Morales is already in the cartoon series, he is popular with kids, and gaining more and more momentum. For all intents and purposes Peter Parker the comic book character is a thirty something married guy, his appeal as an awkward teenager who gained superpowers has been diluted over the years, and the movies have proved that this trope is well and truly played out. Bruce Wayne & Clark Kent are timeless simply because they started their comic lives as fully fledged adults. Peter Parker has been forced to grow into adulthood in a span of decades in comic books which has been an awkward process at times. Miles is a fresh take on a tired character. The Spider-Man costume is the draw here, not what the name of the character is beneath the hood.
  2. I saw upwards of €350 on ebay this morning, which I think is close to $380. Theres a copy of ASM #31 for less than half that price on ebay too...
  3. Great communication, bulletproof packaging and a pleasure to deal with! highly recommended!
  4. The thing is Peter Parker has been Spider-Man twice already. The movie going masses might just be fed up with seeing slightly different iterations of that character. Certainly his origin story is played out by now.
  5. I think there is a lot of truth in this. If Marvel do go with introducing Miles in one of their upcoming MCU movies, it will be potentially an easier sell to the general public, because any of the 'controversy' would more than likely be drowned out by the hype and excitement of an ensemble cast movie. Giving Sony an easier ride for the standalone Spider-Man movies afterwards, as he has been introduced, people accept him as Spider-Man, therefore there is less risk for Sonys franchise. I hope we do see Miles as Spider-Man in the movies, it would genuinely be an exciting choice.
  6. A bundle of mags I picked up on ebay. The Epics 1-3 have been on my wishlist for some time, so it was great to get them all in one go
  7. I'm glad I picked one up at my LCS might grab a couple more later.
  8. Dale is a fantastic seller, very professional with great communication. I bought a stack of books from Dales Holiday thread, and they all arrived securely packaged and in beautiful condition. I am very happy, thanks so much! (thumbs u
  9. I bought several modern comics from Brent. Brent was a pleasure to deal with, the books I received are in beautiful condition, and were packaged superbly. I am really impressed! Buy with confidence! (thumbs u
  10. Claudio was an absolute pleasure to deal with, his comics were in fantastic condition and he packed them amazingly well. Buy with confidence!! (thumbs u
  11. picked up two of my grails at a local con today
  12. Red Sonja 10, pence copy, double cover It was a shock when I took it out of its bag.
  13. I can't fathom these late 70's Marvel #1s...which are among some of the most hoarded books in existence...selling for more than $3 raw. If anything it's proving that ebay is the worst value place to buy comics.
  14. 1cool is an awesome seller with great communication, and my books were really well packaged. Buy with confidence! (thumbs u
  15. I have been picking up copies when I can too, but in reflection i dont think we will ever see Angela in a movie. Her heritage is too embroiled in controversy with the legal action between Todd McFarlane and Neil Gaimen, and now they both share creator credit for her. It may be too much of a headache in terms of royalties and permissions.
  16. I loved it! Much better production values than Agents of SHIELD. Also, it was nice to see Eli Thompson has cleaned up his act since we last saw him in Atlantic City

  18. I bought two CGC slabs from Mike, and it was a very pleasant process! He is awesome to deal with, great communication and I got the package unbelievably fast for an international delivery, and it was packaged very securely indeed! Buy with confidence!!! (thumbs u
