NoMan

I'm not sure what this is. Do they give it away at movies? Has someone stole my idea?

YES! Everything! In one place. Whole story. I gave up trying to follow the story cause it was just too tough over the 20 years to track in Plookaville's that came out every 5 or 6 years. It comes in a nice slip case. Around $54.00. I'd pay $1,000 for it Seth's storytelling in so good!

All right, I remain bored, so I'll throw my hat into the ring. How to "save" comics, Noman's way: Give away comics at the movies. Nice ones. Have them "to be continued" in the comics found at the LCS. Make them less expensive/better quality. Take a hit. You're making bank at the movies, spend some of that on the books/creating new properties. As Kav said, have the comics reflect the movies. If it's in The Avenger's movies, it's in The Avenger's comic. This makes sense to me. Why would this not at least help the situation of not enough people buying/reading new comics? Don't jump all over me if this has been covered in multiple threads over multiple years here. I didn't start this thread and everything has been discussed here. Over and over and over. Spend two solid years here and you get the jist of it all. Plus it's kinda a fun conversation with maybe some newer members throwing ideas out there.

I kinda got a soft spot for zines, too and always look. In fact I look at zines before the "pro" stuff. I rarely buy any although in the 80s to mid 90s I bought tons of zines. Being respectful is being respectful. Good and bad segments of the population. Good cops, bad cops. Good doctors, bad doctors. Good kids, bad kids. Only a dummy with no respect bothers a shop owner. You say "Please" and "Thank You" and "Yes, Sir" and "No, sir." My dad was a small country lawyer. The lawyers in this small town would all sign up to do "Public Defenders" duty (that is until he was kidnapped with my mom at gun point by someone he failed to keep out of jail) and it always made him INSANE when someone he defended came to court wearing a baseball cap. He also refused to take calls during dinner, even if you were calling from jail.

Make a friend at Target. It's easy: "I want toys. Here's 100$. Call me the second there's new toys. There's more money where that came from. Now where's the Starbucks/pizza part of the store." All my friends I met at Target. If you live in Los Angeles there is an exhibit about the history of Japanese toys (Robots and Godzilla and stuff) at the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo. Ends 3/24/19.

What’s a Coca Cola consumer? I love soda pop! Especially the Dublin Dr Pepper. Bottled out of Dublin, tx with the original formula. I went to Coke World in Atlanta a couple of months ago. I don’t recommend it. One of my favorite hobbies when I travel is to find the local "Coca Cola" rip off and drink away. By far the most disgusting was this soda called "Thum's Up" in Indonesia. It tasted like peanut butter and dirt. Another was called "Gold Spot" and looked like urine.

I didn’t overlook that. It’s kinda an obvious, like the sun rises in the east. How many of these “millions new to collecting” people watch the latest Wolverine sequel/reboot/retool/ re-whatever and drop over 1 to 2 grand (or more) on a low grade Wolverine’s first appearance? How many drop 10 grand (or more) on a High grade? It’s wishful thinking.

All of my money is tied up in travel at the moment. In about 6-9 months I'm gonna go on a buying spree and I need things to sell for a lot less than they are now. Any help you guys can give me would be super cool. That or I need to do a GoFundMe.

I wasn't here in the 60s to correct everyone. Now that I am here, I feel it is my duty to let you know your collection is worthless.

I don't believe in technology. I don't want to have any part of paying "The Man." I sew my own clothes, grow my own food, pooping in my garden for fertilizer. Speaking of which I gotta pinch one out now. Be back in a sec....

This isn't the 80s. It's 2019. Many, many things are different.

As the writer I believe I should be paid first. In full. Whatever's left is yours for more, um, McDonalds

I believe I made that point, agreeing with you. And the other billions and billions of comics? Many thousands and thousands entombed in plastic with the numbers "9.8" in the left corner.

If you draw it, mysterious discarded McDonalds wrappings and all, I'll write it.

I readily admit I could be wrong. Very wrong. I hope I am. I’m gonna be in the money if I am wrong. I just don't think I am.

Not really. I have one Time Traveler. It was $100.00 from Fleebay in some kinda CGC case kinda thing (PSA? Forgot the grade Maybe 8?). I ripped it out of that and opened the "card" and played with it and it immediately snapped at the hip. I still love looking at the card and put back together with tape toy. I have it in my closet so I see it everyday when I get ready for work. Brings back wonderful memories.

Good for a theater to do something fun and kinda different like this!

Where's all the Micronauts. I WANT TO SEE MICRONAUTS.

Hahaha. I was always partial to the guy in the AF15 in the SA thread that would go on and on about how Spidey would never die and that when the Chinese discovered the money to made in this hobby we would all be rich.

I don't know why stupid people do stupid stuff. Just a question as I was super bored yesterday.

and that's why we love you.

I hear there's gonna be a variant cover.

When I was a kid in the 70s my folks had an Airstream trailer (Hipsters you can have 'em. I associate nothing but trauma with 'em) and belonged to the Wally Byam Caravan Club (look it up). We were all camping somewhere in North Carolina and the Rally Masters (See Wally Byam Caravan Club) said Andy Griffith lived on a big house near the campground and not to go there. I immediately rode my BMX bike there and started doing power skids in the drive way. He ran out the door flailing his arms screaming, "Get outta here, punk!"

Once about three years ago I was at the Selous Game Reserve in Tazania, a 21,000 mile wildlife thingee in Africa, and the guide told me that kept having to tell the tourist not to get out of the Land Rover and try to take selfies with the Lions. They kept having to tell this one guy over and over until they kicked him out of the Reserve. The morning of his departure the plane landed for him and he couldn't be found. Later he was found in his yoga clothes on his yoga mat out where a heard of Elephants hung out, trampled to death.

Finally after 20 some odd years, all collected in one book.
