They never did explain, if he's striking with enough force to put a three-foot crack into the side of a building, how is he not shattering his own ankle?

Went on Wikipedia to look up his powers and came across this gem:

He could shoot webbing out of his ass? 

Here’s to a speedy recovery Bob

 Yea and magically didn’t effect the inks or the paper lmaoo.

Just to educate you the foil used on comics is made of aluminum and would withstand heat or any solvent much greater than printer ink.

Alcohol is enough to damage comic cover inks let alone a solvent that would break down foil.

Shoot!  an eraser is enough to take off ink and wouldn’t even blemish the foil.

great theory there Einstein 👍🏾

I can see where Jerome was coming from now.

Here's a tip: When you create a thread asking for opinions, try not to make snarky and disparaging comments in response to people with theories that differ from your own.

It's fine to have your own working theory, but Jerome is correct, anything other than "It's a super rare manufacturing error" is met with an attitude.

Here's my opinion again. It's probably a manufacturing error. It's probably rare. Rarity doesn't make it desirable or valuable. It's ugly.

You'd have to decide that for yourself.

Nothing that hasn't been said already. Looks like some type of printing error, but I have no scientific explanation. It's not a visually attractive one IMO like the black or white though.

Nope. You did. You chose to have it signed without a witness.

Small stress front cover at the bottom staple, but I'm not sure if it's production related.

Even with that, I agree with the 9.4s and also see no obvious reasons to press. You could always have it screened to see if there would be the potential for improvement with a press.

Never get tired of that one Gino! The skull “noise maker” is also a nice touch. I don’t think I have ever seen a copy for sale, ever...

Noise maker or 3 ball flail made from a skull? Hard to tell, but an absolutely amazing cover regardless!

I’d think showing all the Jedi Farce ghosts from past films might’ve been mighty expensive (both in production and having to pay actors like Liam Neeson or Sam Jackson fir their screen time/imagery) and also might’ve looked a little hokey. 

More expensive, yes but I think it would have worked much better than just the voices for me.

It’s fine as is.

Agree to disagree. I thought the film, especially as a finale to a 9 part saga, was a massive let down.

Half the Star Wars films had Force ghosts...including the final cut of Rise of Skywalker.

I’m aware of that, and the film censorship body can and does make exceptions, but they’ve banned or edited films for less.

I’m not saying this is definitely the reason, just that it seems plausible to me.

As always I would take some of this with HUGE grains of salt. A lot of this info has parts from more legitimate sources but with a different spin. Some of it reads like saltly fan fiction.

Chunks of this are also from other interviews but slightly changed. "This wasn't the movie we worked on" was taken from an interview but here it a bit out different context.

In another interview it was regarding the time crunch on this movie with a few less months to work on it. JJ couldn't spend the time in the editing room he wanted to.

Mustafar WAS supposed to be longer which was taken from various sources books, twitter sources from cast etc. First order officers were also mentioned to be in the early scene.

At least its a bit better than DVD Overlord/Mike Zeroh.

I agree 100%. It could be completely bogus, completely true, or (most probably IMO) somewhere in the middle.

Some particular things that seem likely to be true:

• "The force ghosts weren’t meant to be voices because they shot that footage on camera. The actors were in costumes. Rey was supposed to be surrounded by the force ghosts to serve as sort of a barrier between her and the Sith surrounding them.
• My source thinks but can’t 100% confirm that this is because of China."

This makes sense to me. Film censorship protocols in China apparently dictate that supernatural elements such as ghosts are not allowed on screen. The ending as it stands is not mind-blowing in any way, so I wouldn't be surprised if the original cut had the force ghosts of past Jedi included. It would have helped to "tie the 3 trilogies together" like people were saying in interviews much better than the voices alone did.

• "The cut JJ eventually and hesitantly agreed to in early December was 2:37 minutes long. It wasn’t the cut we saw which he wouldn’t have approved of (and which is 2:22 long). Apart from the force ghosts, there were other crucial and emotional scenes missing. The cut they released looked “chopped and taped back together with weak scotch tape” (JJ's words)."

The film released is very poorly edited, to the point parts of it don't make sense. Lando's conversation with his "daughter", Finn never revealing his secret to Rey, Claude. The part about Han's appearance being a "projection" of Leia's memory also seems possible (just my opinion).

I am aware however, that even if these elements are true, it doesn't necessarily validate this "anonymous source" and their claims.

By the grade assigned on the label.

Is that what the clients and future owners are asking for now?  Can I please buy a book from you for $1,200?  But I want one that doesn't have any Grader's notes at all!  Pleeeeeease. 

All you need is a set of eyes. If you agree the assigned grade reflects the actual condition, then buy it. Or don't. 

Here are the claims made by an "inside source" regarding the JJ cut and how Disney apparently hacked up his version of the film.

"Vast numbers of collections like the Mile High" do not keep showing up.

If you are correct, no new copies are showing up and the competition is to buy and sell a finite number of Comics.  It assumes there will be no new available copies from anywhere. I don't believe that/  If that was indeed the case then the demand for finite copies would invariably drive markets up given a modest increase of buyers but demand seems to me to be a fairly smart bunch buying what is available at the best price. I continue to think there are a lot of AF 15's out there, far more than the CGC or the census might suggest.  I think that is likely true. Buyers are buying quality, not grade. 

No, the fact that new copies are showing up does not mean they are coming from collections like Edgar Church's.

The Church collection is the most remarkable ever discovered. There are zero collections like it showing up.

New collections showing up? Yes. Raw AF 15s that have never been to market? Yes. Vast numbers of collections like the Mile High? Absolutely not.

Also, it's a GA collection, so not really relevant to AF 15.

We all saw the Mile High collection surface forty some years ago. Vast numbers of collections like that keep showing up. 

"Vast numbers of collections like the Mile High" do not keep showing up.

Nothing in 5.5 on GPA either. Closest recent sale was $250 for a 4.5 in July of 2018.

Happy to oblige. These kind of things fascinate me. Nick Bostrom appeared on Sam Harris’ podcast if you’re looking for Something else, it was a good episode. 

@Ron C. What does the back cover look like on the "faded" copy?
