I'm pretty sure SF has a no prosecution order in effect. It is all over the news.  Why investigate if it won't be prosecuted?

Sorry for cobbledclam's loss  

Oh it's in San Francisco? Yeah I've seen reports of weird stuff going on there, of gangs literally being able to brazenly walk or ride in on motorcycles into stores and take what they want and leave, and nothing is being done about it. It sounds like there's some real problems there at the moment.

I seem to recall reading that the editor of Fantastic Four Unlimited requested that Herb Trimpe imitate Rob Leifeld's art style. So if the goal was to draw terribly, then mission accomplished.

Not true. It was Herb's own choice, and was his favourite art he drew. He loved the style. I've debunked this one before, here's the link: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbr.com/comic-book-legends-revealed-195/amp/

Artist: Herb Trimpe. 

Very sorry for your loss, I hope you get your stuff back, and/or that you get the interest of the police to actually do something. 

OT but I can't stop laughing at the last comic pictured, the Sports Novels. What a gem!

Enjoy some 'art'.

Let’s balance it out.

Here’s a quite horrendous drawing of Wonder Man…

Look what they've done to my boy. 

I've bought two in the last few weeks: Morrison's JLA, and the DC He-Man omnibus, which includes He-Man Vs The ThunderCats. He-Man should be fun, I haven't read all this material, whereas JLA was one for the collection, and it was fairly cheap. 

I mentioned this film not long ago when someone was looking for stuff to watch: Pan's Labyrinth. Imo a flawless film.

Well Chuck is always crying poor too, so maybe the MS DOS level website helps him maintain that image.

Dunno which is the bigger relic, MH or the original Space Jam site.

No thread like this is complete without this.

 

Objection! This was never a cover. It was just a promotional piece.

Also reminds me of this brilliant synth band…

 

Great album.

Got to see them live. Great to check them off my list for historical reasons, but considering their whole thing is literally standing completely still, their show is (or was, at least, when I saw them) pretty dull.

Doesn't this cover just make you want to buy this comic and get you excited to read it? haha

Your Generals and Admirals could have given up some of their makeup budget to help the war effort. How much did they spend on blush alone? 

Done with the DeFalco/Ryan run, and the 2 issue Waid/Pacheco Onslaught tie-in, taking me to Heroes Return (I decided to skip Heroes Reborn for now). The first 3 issues of it are some of my favourite FF comics ever, Lobdell's not a great writer, but he knew how to handle the Four here, and what to say about Alan Davis with Mark Farmer on inks? Perfection. And to top it off we get Liquid's gorgeous colours. Fantastic stuff (pun intended). 

Issue 4 is an odd beast. You can feel the budget cuts/rushed nature/the fact that something ain't right. I love Larocca's art from this period, but I'm not fond of Art Thibert handling his inks, and the colours are a definite downgrade here, for this larger issue. It's also coplotted by Claremont, as he prepares to come aboard. Come issue 5 things at least look a lot better again with the beautiful Liquid! colours, setting the standard for the book. Amazing what a difference that makes in this new era for Marvel. It also seems to help smooth out the inks somewhat, making them more palatable. And onward we go!

First Lyssa Drak... hot female GL villain.. outside of Sinestro/Black Hand/Atrocitus shes a pretty big villain

Ah, thank you. I don't even remember her, but it's been a looong time since I've read that run. 

I find the ads to be a great touch too, they REALLY add a lot to the package, seeing what sort of oddities were available and for how much. Great fun. 

What's with Green Lantern 18, from the Johns run? It's been posted twice on this page alone. What's so special about it? 

I did love Rogue One. Great film IMO. Solo though is just so... by the numbers. It answers questions no one asked (eg his surname, that was horrible). I didn't mind TFA, but disliked the other 2, immensely.

No way that'll happen. It's a bad trilogy, horrible even, but there's no way it's getting jettisoned, and so soon. 

Then there's Gambit's first appearance. Do you go with story first appearance, or by ship date first appearance? It's all such a mess.

Easy one.  From the figurework alone  it’s clearly drawn by one of the most famous of all Superman artists, Wayne Interesting.

I believe he attained the rank of Captain, so please show some respect. His name was Captain Interesting. 

No offence but this thread is pure cringe. The advice animal acne guy that hasn't been used in over 10 years, I mean, yikes. 

Good trailer, they've got a good track record, but it's way too early to make any determinations. Definitely on my watch list, though. 

Should've headlined the thread as boards sold, then made us click through to somewhere else for a randomised answeras to who: Dylan, Cal, they're now about 400sqft firepits, etc.
