  1. Listen I know I'm a straight up spoon in the eyes of you guys and rightfully so. I've been caught red handed "shilling" which is without a doubt taking hard earned money from people's hands. Do I deserve any sort of belief that I can change, and won't shill again, no probably not. Is it something I am committed to yes (i know this holds absolutely no weight in your eyes.) The truth of the matter is, Ebay and Paypal have both made it impossible for me to sell on the bay anymore. I can show you emails, or paperwork, or I can even record a phone call with their customer service. I've been given Bellow Standard status, and there's no way for me to re-enter into selling, unless I go as far as to change identity, get a new bank account, and rebuild from there. (Which I'm sure some of you think is something I'd do, but trust me its not.) I have a steady job now, I am seeking help for my problems with lying, addiction, amongst other things. A number of you have my personal information, and I don't mind sharing it with the higher ups, so you can come after me if I ever do break the rules again. I'm not gonna sit here making BS promises, asking for forgiveness, the truth is if I stay off the sales forums, I can't sell on ebay, I will only be on this forum to add to discussions.
  2. Its PLANNED as on-going... but sales do make a difference. Could definitely see a Seaon 2, a la Roche Limit: Clandestiny
  3. I watch the show on a weekly basis but I really try my best to turn off the "comic fan" part of my brain at times.
  4. They caught onto the shill and most likely banned him, deleted his posts and any posts responding to him. Although my restraining order should have stayed. In correct, for whatever reason I'm still here. If any of the powers that be would like to talk, I'd be more than happy to via PM or email. I don't care if it's In Correct or Out Correct. You maintain that perimeter mister. Yes sir. Check my signature.
  5. To me this just means more books about to hit auction, driving up the GPA avg even higher.

  7. Wait you mean to say you own that Rafa A. cover OA??!?!?
  8. That Luthor Strode cover is definitely on a level above the rest. Setting the bar very high! Its Michael Adams, he also did the Spread Action Figure covers (which way pre-date the SW and Marvel ones) [/i]The attention to detail on the price stickers being faded is a really fantastic touch.[/i]
  9. I think we'll see this happen a bit more over time, given that Batman Adventures was never considered to be a book that collectors would want, I'm sure there's tons of retailers who have them in storage in All Ages boxes, or runs from former kid/collectors.
  10. Most Brian K Vaughn: Y: The Last Man, early Wakling Dead, Loeb/Sale color series, the Wake really got me for some reason.
  11. Remender seems to have a somewhat anti-speculation stance with this book, from the blog post about the decision to do just 2 standard price Murphy covers, to other comments about wanting to make sure everyone gets to read it that wants to.
  12. Double Take books were selling quite poorly around my way... Tokyo Ghost was flying off the shelf, mainly thanks to everyone in the staff reading copies and all of us freaking out loudly at Murphy's panels.
  13. Its really good folks, some of Murphy's best work, and he's by far one of my favorite current artists. Like a lot of Remender, this will be a bit of a slow burn, but already tons to hook you. I don't want to spoil a damn thing, go out and buy this book, its well worth the money. Saving up my duckets to hopefully score my first Original Art ever, which will be from this series.
  14. I will read anything with Remender, Murphy or Hollingsworth attached. Give me all 3, and you've got the happiest camper out there. Its at the bottom of my stack, saving it for right after Cap White.
  15. I love Star Wars, and collect the toys but I'm really really getting tired of these variants. Marvel ones too, unless they are someone special, I.E. Peggy Carter, which will make a great SS with Hayley Atwell. The Luther Strode one is amazing though...
  16. Is that why your name is Smoak and Frost? Haha not that clever. Felicity Smoak + Killer Frost
  17. I don't like Gwenpool at all, but I'm sure as hell not dumb enough to let my dislike for her and what she stands for get in the way of making some $$$.
  18. I watch the show every week, its not close to my top favorite shows but I watch it none the less. I was a huge OC stan, but Ben McKenzie is just horrible as Jim Gordon. I would very much like to see a Seth Cohen fanboy cameo though.
  19. How can a Deadstroke rip off, that breaks the 4th wall, makes fart and jokes, and has the ugliest mug in comics possibly have any sort of staying power? History is full of the unlikely being speculative gold.
  20. I'd like to point out that Alias got me back into comics and is in my top 5 all time. I'm not just some crazy loon. Well I'm a bit crazy but yeah, I love me some Bendis and Jess Jones.
  21. as soon as I heard the news about this show I bought every NM/NM+ Alias 1 I could find. I already had 2 slabbed, 9.8s. I have about 15 yet to be slabbed, possibly will get them signed by Ritter or Bendis.
  22. No chance, thanks to marketing. Marketing is never reflected in the budget numbers, and for a big film like this you can expect it matches or exceeeds the budget. I figure this thing will piggy back the other Fantastic Four movies and possibly be added into a potential FOX X-Men/FF Blu Ray box set also. This licensed property will be added to every superhero endcap or display for years to come. Don't need much promotion for that, even Waterworld eventually made a profit, eventually. Just takes a bit. ...and I'm only talking about the dvd/Blu Ray format. ' True... but remember optical drive media is dying compared to iTunes/Netflix/etc
  23. Hey Guys, J here (never Jay, long story.) Been in this game since I was about 8 when my dad started letting me buy 1 new stand per grocery trip. Then finally he started getting me Layton Iron Man's (he was always an Iron Man guy) before finally letting me get my first wall book, a MacFarlane ASM. I ended up getting all the fireside books that collected origins, as well as the enyclopedias about the bad guys with their power levels. I was hooked. I made some horrible comics at a local copy store. Fast foward to college, I had my collection (no keys really) in my garage, I was handed Watchmen and Arkham Asylyum, the next day I spent $150 of grocery money at the LCS. Now I'm a 30 book a week buyer, (still waiting to bite the bullet and become a key collector), and luckily enough in this economy I've landed a job with a comic company as Manager of Marketing. Not sure if I can say which one Love the forum, even the sometimes spooish behaviour and hate. you guys know your stuff and are a fun bunch.
