    Aliens/Wildcats? This one sold for $2, although there have been higher sales.. the book is all over the place: https://www.ebay.com/itm/WildC-A-T-S-Aliens-1-August-1998-First-Print-Image-Comics/224309350498?hash=item3439e11062:g:QQAAAOSwljNf-INA The Darkhorse version/cover seems to be less numerous and does better ... But both are definetelty worth looking out for

    Book is all over, not a lot of listing now, mostly $15+. Have seen some sales where it went for nothing along with a bunch of other books. My comic shop apparently thought it was a $2 book not long ago.. shockingly they are now out of stock: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Stormwatch-37-VF-1996-Stock-Image/133603306899?hash=item1f1b60ad93:g:NG0AAOSwidZf0ulz

    The one of the right seems to still be a dollar box book, but the one on the left is a variant that potentially does double digits

    These 90s image books are a definite blindspot for me as I don't know the semi fake keys. I kept the obvious ones, but donated about a short box of ones that looked like fancy covers and no substance to goodwill. My older brother used to buy like 10 image books a week, read them in 5 minutes, and then give them to me as he did not collect and would never read them again (and his fiance hated that he read comic).

    I'm trying to play nice with you as clearly you have a bee in your bonnet

    I think they all have an idea that something isn't quite right, some more than others. Agnes/Agatha probably knows the most as she is a 400 year old witch. Dottie as Clea might be pushing it too far as the Sorceres Supreme should know this stuff (and who/how/why would she have been sucked out of the dark dimension to be cast in Wanda's fantasy anyway?) I will take their word for it that Mephisto sometimes goes by Ralph in the comics (a reference to Ralph Macchio probably)

    alas, if they pop him into the show as some sort of multiverse merging event we probably would have known... then again, mando kept luke a secret all this time, so disney is capable

    vigo looks right for old, but not ancient, magneto (the one we enjoyed in the 80s and early 90s), of course, if we are present day, magneto would be early 80s, so sir Ian is actually the right age (I guess he was always the right age in the movies as a concentration camp child as he was born in 1939)... then again, why would the master of magnetism age like the rest of us?
  10. The Less Blob
    They might not know 100% either based on the previews from some of the future scenes (and herb glitching out with the wall)
  11. The Less Blob
    well it seems sword (and others maybe) might be popping people into the wanda world and once inside they forget who the heck they are?

    We watched it as a family and it was fine. My wife liked all the 80s stuff, the fashion, the references, etc. A little bit of a nostalgia walk for those of us who are almost 50. But yeah, there were some plot holes that were ginormous and whatever. If you tell yourself "hey, at least I didn't spend $100 on tickets and movie theatre snacks to see this" then it is all good.

    OK, my big problem with Justice League is that the big scarey bad was taken out by Superman in like 3 seconds. Kind of anti-climactic. I had other issues, like a lot of it seemed non-sensical, but thaty was a big one for me.
  14. The Less Blob
    Understanding that audiences have short memories and perhapos it is a niche market, but Darkseid has been pretty well fleshed out visually in a dozen or so (it seems) full length DC animated movies over the years, cartoon shows, etc. (I won't count smallville because they didn't show his real form, i think)
  15. The Less Blob
    yup, they're stringing us along
  16. The Less Blob
    You're getting a bit stalky with me
  17. The Less Blob
    I read NL later, second hand, around 1980 when my brother was into it, he generally didn't hunt down older issues, but yeah, pretty inappropriate for age 8 me most of the time, funny
  18. The Less Blob
    crack it open and show us the cheech wizard (and the adams and jones stuff) ... was the cheech wizard original content? i am trying to figure out this cover. is she feeding her hot friend to the creatures?
  19. The Less Blob
    weren't simmons and stanley (or at least simmons) clean? simmons needed to be in peak condition in order to service 50 groupies a night, or that's what he would claim

    sales like these are not that encouraging: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Darkhawk-5-CGC-9-8-White-Pages-Marvel-Comics-1991-/383833716989?hash=item595e45b8fd%3Ag%3AKwYAAOSwvrRfwxBt&nma=true&si=BZbpsjZvXBDBh7scMVfgI%2BAabNw%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 https://www.ebay.com/itm/CGC-9-8-Darkhawk-13-Venom-Appearance/193774395965?hash=item2d1ddaa23d:g:beMAAOSwVO1fxbgh

    If you are willing to pay the CGC costs I will happily send a bunch in.

    I was responding to your question, I had not gone back and read all the subsequent posts where the poster indicted he meant #4, not #3, so the $180 was for #3. comprende?
  23. The Less Blob
    4 and 6 have some killer covers. I'm not sure I've ever seen #6 live.
  24. The Less Blob
    I was still looking for #3 because that was what the original post said. #4 did indeed sell for a nice chunk of change. #5 and #6 have also done very well.
  25. The Less Blob
    #4 looks like it should be a much tougher cover to keep perfect than #3, which has a lot of white on the spine, but the census #s are about the same for 9.8s, which is interesting because it seems like #4 had a lower print run than #3, at least based on anecdotal dollar box observations where I see lots of 1 and 2, some 3s, and almost never 4 - 6. perhaps more likely to submit a pristine #4 as it is perceived as more valuable (and the very limited ebay sales show it selling for more than 3x as much as #3 in 9.8). It seems like a crazy number, but if you want it and it hardly ever comes up...and none of the 9.6ses up for sale look like they could potentially be pressed into 9.8s
