  1. But this board, which has many, many more members, is perfectly fine.

     

    This board has all types of problems, but it is policed albeit some think too much and other think too little. Its a work in progress.

     

    We regulate sellers, we out con artists, we have kudos threads, we do great work for board members when they have traumatic life events.(Death, cancer, fires, floods, etc....) I've been fortunate to be a part of several.

     

    We share ideas, we send an action figure around all over the country, we help to raise money for events and so on...

     

    We had writers on here, artists and publishers. A large amount of money changes hands on this board weekly and for the most part most transactions go well.

     

    Love it or hate it its the model for most boards in the comic hobby.(Whether they admit it or not.)

     

     

    Well said
  2. List of why Marvel books are loosing readership, My opin

     

     

    Rehashing the same old story lines.

    Completely changing the characters we grew up reading.

    Attempting to sell books based on events rather than good story.

    Forcing readers to buy multiple books just to follow a story line

     

     

    Basically ignoring what made them successful to start with,

    providing their customer with a well written story based on characters we love

     

  3. Standing in a LC store listening to the covers being ripped off the books for these returns is depressing. Thousands of books hitting the dumpsters across the country :( .Seems like, in this day and age, that recycling, or maybe some form of donation after some kind of marking, should be done with these books

  4. Pretty sure Briggs land had just one cover unless you are counting the yesteryear variant that was a 500 print run I believe. I also think B land will blow up once the show gets more attention.

     

    Animosity had a 1:10 and so many store variants that it's becoming absurd. Same old story,. :(

  5. Any variants confirmed?

     

    I'll be getting a few signed I feel:

     

    Briggs Land #1 (Signed Edition)

    not sure if anyone posted this but there is a variant from yesteryear comics limited to 500 selling well on ebay

  6. Just read # 4 , damn this is a good story.

     

    Not Vampires.... what???

     

    I heard it from a reliable source that they're unicorns. Magical unicorns. :-)

     

    I knew it...just couldn't prove it

     

    How do you know they are magical ?... could be the basic?

    I’m sticking with aliens , leader said we have been here “well for longer than you might suspect" Aliens ,…… maybe magical Aliens?
