    Sorry if this is a thread Krap, as recent discussion is mostly movie industry business analysis, but as far as the movie itself goes, I was very disappointed. I haven't seen every Marvel Studios movie (Iron Man 3 and GOTG 2 are the ones I have missed), but to my taste this was the worst by far. I felt like in many spots the scenes seemed more like outtakes. Hemsworth and Hiddleston had trouble staying in character, it seemed, and most of the others didn't seem to give a thought to trying to convince anyone they were Norse gods. Too much weak humor, an un-Thor-like Thor (I had thought Hemsworth did a great job in all previous efforts). The don't cut my hair crybaby was silly. The Grandmaster was also far from a cosmic Elder, too. Then there's the gunplay among gods . These are Superbeings. Guns are ordinary. Save it for Punisher movies. Watching the Executioner fend off Asgardian zombies with two AR's instead of wading through them with a battle axe and super strength???? At parts it felt too much like another Star Wars flick, with Ray guns and spaceships. There should have been a massive wooden sailing ship that flew. Rather than carve a unique mythology, this felt like a mash-up of other non-Marvel franchises. I saw it as bland and offkey; anyone else got a different prism that maybe I could look through? At this point, Thor is the first Avenger I'm ready to see retired from the Marvel cinematic universe.

    I saw the new Thor and thought I was watching yet another Star Wars movie. Does that count?

    Ran out of steam last night, guys, but that got us through the Moderns I have to offer currently. Hoping to pick up tonight with Copper; about two dozen or more books coming up yet. A few esoteric picks and a batch of Copper keys. Stay tuned! PM's are certainly welcome on what's posted already, too!

    I guess so! I always thought the story was it was a price-hike obfuscation, but that apocrypha does not hold up if some were 15 and 20. I Do wonder if the pattern over three months is 15-25-20 across all titles, as Avengers 93 was a 25-cent giant. Hmmm....
  22. Readcomix
    I thought all titles went to 25-cent giant-size books for that one month to ease the sting of transition from 15 to 20 cents? There were 15's and 20's (at normal size) that month too?

    Shooting for 10 pm EST tonight to add more books. 1st Painkiller Jane, 1st Omega Red, 1st Gwenpool, Spawn variant cover, Fanboys vs Zombies, Crow (Kitchen Sink). All raw, most all high grade, one might be signed. It's at least got a squiggle and date on the cover

    Thank you! He and I both got lucky; he says he got a collection of office copies compiled over the years from a long-time Marvel employee. There were a few short boxes of high grade, but almost all bronze and early copper -- TOD, Ghost Rider, Man-Thing, Star Wars, Star Trek, chunks of all the Spidey titles from those eras, X-Men -- but these were the only outliers, two 1959 romance books. Baker, Colletta, Maneely, Pike and Russ Heath (among others) packed into these two.

    Picture? Sounds like a compilation from Gold Key's series UFO Encounters and UFOs and Outer Space. Loved those comics as a kid! Yes, simply done but just vague/mysterious enough for a child's mind to run rampant.
