@Rich_Henn Im gonna go with Dogfish for this one.

Got me excited to hunt for another Dell'Otto. ?

The JL one has the trinity on it but is there also a Trinity one? I need it.

one S/S please.

2 copies please

I'd have a healthy stack of Dell'Otto stuff for ya

Yes please!

When do we get a peek?

All 3 of these (+Finch on Batman, + Bruce Timm on both Harleys and Deering if its easy)

I agree 100% but the way my experience went, I'm unfortunately leaning towards @MedicARs observations as well. Stan was physically there, for sure, but I said to all my friends that I went with, it just seemed like he had no idea about what was going on.

I'm on it now but yea, missed the 9.8 Thank you though @ADAMANTIUM

Well sure, why not pile it on some more guys, thanks!

Yea, I missed the boat. Nobody clued me in before hand.

Interesting, so potentially that would be over looked if I were wanting to get my book slabbed one day. Thanks for the help!

Has anybody else picked up the Venom #150 cover? Was there a printing issue on the spine? It seems every copy I looked at while at MegaCon seemingly had problems.

Kev, Yes, there were VIP lines on BOTH sides of the main grouping of "the rest of us" so to speak. If there was another Stan specific signing for the Stan specific VIPs, I'm not sure the folks that bought those tickets knew about that but the handlers were more than willing to create a separate waiting area for them to skip the line, no problem. I personally didn't read too closely what the Stan package was because I knew I had other things I wanted to get and spend some of that $$$ on. Funny thing is, the line waiting kind of put the kibosh on all of that. I mean I'm glad I got what I was able to get these past 2 years from the photo and autograph but this year, wow, not a fan of any of it.

Yup, just too much. And I missed Claremont and Layton's lines and on top of all of that, I'm more of a DC guy.

It seems I wasn't the only one in Stan's lines who had some common sense ideas that would have made the weekend just slightly better. I mean aside from Stan I had other books for my PC I wanted to get signed during the weekend. I maybe even wanted to shop a bit. I spent 3-ish hours in Stan's line on Friday. I got my hastily and lazily laid down sig and was very upset. I window bagged the entire bottom of my book and Stan decided to squish together his sig in a corner when he literally had the entire bottom at his disposal. The folks that sprung for the extra special Stan VIP package, I understand the rationale behind it. I myself did not want all of my money going to that cause and after the experience I had, I'm glad I didn't spend any more money than was absolutely needed on Stan and his handlers (swindlers??). The majority of the conversations had while I was in line centered around the VIP and Stan VIP crowds. The VIP, yes, I understand, Disney Fast Pass type availability, that's great, they can easily be mixed in with the pleebs that were waiting in line. The Stan VIP people, why oh why did that $400 package NOT include a specified hour or 2 hour window each day with a designated area where just Stan VIPs can go get their stuff signed? This would allow the remaining lines to flow more easily, and hey, I mean I know the promoters were not too keen on sales for exhibitors when I'm sure they were getting a cut of Stan and the other major celebs take, but if I wasn't waiting in line, I probably would have spent some more money ON ACTUALLY BUYING COMICS AND ART!!! This was the first convention I have gone to, where I dont believe I bought more than 2 books, and 1 was for a friend who had been searching for a variant that I luckily stumbled across on Thursday night during random strolling around. I'm glad I was able to get a photo last year and the smushed signature this year because, yes, this will probably be his last appearance at MegaCon and I do agree with the OP, it may be time for him to retire the sharpie. I'm leaning towards the thought process as well that Stan isn't even aware of what's being charged to each and every person who goes through his line. He just shows up, they put a marker in his hand and he scribbles. I'm going to withhold any more ranting about the handlers and their manipulative maneuvers and just say I'm thankful a CGC witness was nearby and was able to assist. The experience overall with Stan was unfortunately not something to be remembered in a positive light.

I just dont get it. I mean I see both sides of it. His twitter feed seems to definitely have some uneducated "fans" that probably were on Marvel's side with the window bagging issue as well. I'm sorry though, I got Stan's signature this weekend at MegaCon. I had my Amazing #252 from about Spidey's waist down open, more than ample space, Stan gave me a blob signature in the corner rather than using all the space allotted in the window. I feel like I got a bit had in that case. Jose Luis Garcia Lopez also signed a book of mine that I had almost the entire cover available for (Scott Snyder also signed this book) and he remarked about the "blue tape" under his breath. All of these artist/writers took my money no problem though. If I try and keep the integrity of my book secure after learning the hard way on my first Signature Series submission (did not window bag, artist signed, then flipped through my book and told a story about how the specific portion came to be that he contributed on) that I feel have the window helps at the very least to make that clear and safe, what is the problem? over.

Can't put my finger on it. Maybe because we just saw the release of the Iron Fist cover so recently? Now we wait for the next announcement.

I'd lean towards that as well. Maybe someone else will stumble across this thread and offer some insight.

Anybody jump on that Defenders cover? Not that impressed with it.

Well that's just annoying. The whole point of the title is for all 3 characters to shine and they re-branded it with the Bat. Come on wal-mart!

I've been trying to track down these issues myself for a while. Not sure at all on print run but just judging the price folks are asking for them and the scarcity, I'd imagine relatively low print run on Adventures.

Congrats on the retailer variant. I grabbed on and hopefully will be having them signed soon. Also caved and grabbed the Kirkham set in high grade so I'm not too upset about money involved in it.
