  1. Looks like I'm on a roll! Guy just hits the buy it now for $500...0 feedback...became a Ebay member today...screen name..."fartobam0"..not counting on this one

     

    +1000 odds say the guy thinks you had the book underpriced and pays you double. Any takers?

  2. The Wolverine crashed right after he waxed Shingen. Think about how LS 4 handled Wolverine's jaunt to Yashida Corporate vs. the movie:

     

    LS 4 - There's probably flunkies everywhere, so I'll need this crossbow, this rope, those arrows, these throwing stars...and I'll get in there all quiet like.

     

    Movie - Trap? Bah! I'ma ride my bike right up to the reception desk and show 'em what's up!

     

    Which strategy worked out better, and which was more true to the character's legacy?

  3. Count me among the unexcited if they trot Phoenix out again. "The Last Stand" was terrible, and how do you fit the whole saga into an appx 2 hour movie while still giving the real story proper play? TLS tried to shoe horn it into "well Jean has an extra personality", and that failed hard. Working in the Shi'ar and Hellfire Club etc would need a good amount of backstory just by themselves.

  4.  

    Right on, people have waited a lifetime to finally see Patrick Stewart naked!

     

    Well they already got a PG-13 version of it in that TNG episode where he gets captured by the Cardassians.

     

    I really wish I could bring myself to not hate this movie sight unseen, but all things Wolverina are a non-starter in my crotchety old man comic world.

     

     

    I simply do not remember him being captured by the Kardashians ....

     

    Don't you remember when Darh'el - A Gul was dating Khloé Kardashian?

     

    It was season 3 episode 2: Keeping up with the Cardassians.

  5. When will the madness end?

     

    Never. I personally have been inspired to start the CLSA - Comic Label Spellcheck Authority. My tamper evident yellow smiley face sticker will 100% guarantee that your graded comic's label is free of any spelling errors.

     

    Punctuation check will cost extra though.

     

    Ahhhh, I was hoping for a grammatical error in your post. You know, something to drive home the value and importance of the CLSA. Something like: "when collecting comics, it's important to look a head."

     

     

    You sir, are hired as Director of Marketing and Sales!

  6. Sadly, with so many of the movies being "reboots" of the franchise already, I'm concerned another one is going to just fall flat, unless they take a really good angle that explains the previous movies in a meaningful way.

     

     

    And once again involves Sam Worthington donating his heart to save Christian Bale while ignoring all the complexities of organ transplantation. They don't even have to be in character, it could just be a side bar of those two talking it over at the local Starbucks.

  8. This is my favorite cover of the bunch, and I'll post images of the actual books that I have reserved for this signing a little later tonight.

    Currently 10 spots available for this cover

     

    Optional add William Shatner at his next convention appearance for $100

    I reiterate my earlier :takeit: and request the addition of Shatner! KHAAAAAAAANNNN!

  9. Basically it looks like a third party that would say the book presents better than graded.

    If you received a grade you are not happy with, it may be worth it for this company to say it looks better than graded.

     

    You're better off getting the grader's notes and comparing them against the book. The few times I've had to go down that road I've immediately wound up concluding "well crackle my bacon, they did get it right."
