  1. You want to know the key to stopping any wife from commenting on your comic buying? Pay off the mortgage. ;)

     

    lol perfect answer... I usually just buy her something so she cant complain about my spending.... Last time she complained to me I told her lets switch she can work 12 hours a day to pay the bill and ill stay home and do what she does....... never heard a peep again lol

  2. Anyone in central jersey the Brunswick square mall in East Brunswick. Has a vendor table setup one guy has comics nothijg to great but everything half off i grabbed some decent uncanny xmen books new mutants 88 (not 87) all for 2$ each. Hes selling everything for half price what ever its marked. If ur close might be worth a shot. Hes there until tomorrow

  3. With Snyder and Capullo mentioning that Duke Thomas -(from the new Robins book) will have a part in upcoming issue 43 and the current story arch

     

    anyone think his first appearance will pick up?? and on top of that what would be considered his true 1st appearance?? The Future End Batman and Robin 1 shot? or Zero Year??

  4. "The actor who will be playing the new Spider-Man was finally announced Tuesday, and while some fans were enthused by the pick of Brit Tom Holland, others were disappointed that the world was getting yet another white male superhero.

     

    This may not just be idle online griping.

     

    Unlike with, say, Superman or Daredevil, a more racially diverse alternative to Peter Parker/Spider-Man does exist in print.

     

    He’s Miles Morales, a half-black, half-Latino teenager who first appeared in 2011."

    why does race have to play into everything? I am Spanish and i love spider-man and im a hugh fan of miles morales but when you go to see a movie white, black, yellow, or purple it doesnt matter we are going to see spider-man and last time i check he wears a mask and we are really paying to see that Costume anyway....

  5. I just opened 4 copies that where in the poly bag still and everyone has front and back cover dings. really shocked and kinda dont wanna open anymore of my stash, I was about to prep them for to send out for SS now dunno if i want to.

    I have been telling that on the boards of books in general sealed in those polybags yet most disagree. That plastic they used provides little protection and if old turns yellow and brittle.

     

    they all seem to have very similar marks in the same areas, prob from the store because i know i didnt do it, you cant see it with the poly bag on and i bagged and boarded them all as soon as i got them..... good thing I picked them up at cover price.

  6. Those 9.8s are sure disappearing fast now on ebay.

     

     

    9.8 was $150 last night, now it's $250.

     

    Give it a few months and watch them skyrocket when folks catch on how rare 9.8s are due to polybag process. I had 30 sealed copies and the best I got was a 9.4. There's a reason why the census on this book has so many 9.6, 9.4 in relation to 9.8.

  7. where does 5below stock the comics!? I have to go back tomorrow and check again.

    Since you're in NYC, I figured I'd mention that I went to the one in Sunnyside today and didn't see any. I checked the book island twice and walked around the rest of the store. Saw nothing.

     

     

    okay so im not crazy that was one of the store I checked out the other day. So your From staten island as well?

  8. Anyone buying the MJ Venom renew your vows cover? Looks like a cheaper alternative if you don't want to shell out the dough for hte 678.

    Yes "pending final art".

     

    Already pre-selling at $30 now. :o

    I would buy the colored edition cant seem to find it anywhere tho....

  9. When the next "everyone's gotta have it" female / minority / LGBT retconned character launches, I'll gladly make money from that garbage, no problem with it at all

     

    X-Men: Years of Future Past has a new 1st appearance that seems to be flying under the radar. Maybe.

     

    Christina or Chrissie Pride seems she could be a character to heat up if they keep her around post Secret Wars

     

  10. Maybe if anyone at the big 2 had an ounce of talent who could actually create a band new character of quality from scratch......

     

    :o

     

    More Bluebird please.

     

     

    Agree I think Bluebird could be a great character if they put the right push behind her.... pretty sure shes gonna be a big focus on eternal part two and if im not mistaken should be in the new Robins series.

  11. Does CGC use different slaps or should they all look the same, now im not talking about the label i mean the slab it self..

     

    just got in two books from eBay today and one is SO much thicker then the other and the thicker slab looks like it has an inner holder to keep the book in place.

     

    Both cert #s are good and the sellers feedback is spotless just thought its something my newbie self should ask.

     

    Thicker books have thicker slabs. Also magazine sized books have thicker/wider slabs.

     

     

    they are both modern books tho one is Batman inc #8 (0242811003) the other Superior spider-man 31 (0233832017)

     

     

    and I own raw copys of each and they dont seem any thicker.
