Going Once...

YES! I noticed that! Didn't DarkHorse have an Aliens vs. Predator comic?? I sorta' remember a cover. Anyway, I love that!... tying them into the same universe... that movie would be cool, but the "Aliens" better have more than they've show thus far or their history I think the last Fridaty the 13th movie I saw had Freddie Krueger (sp?) dragging Jason into hell at a junk yard... another cool and unexpected cross–over. Do you think it's doable in the comic movies?

I'm not sure what the percentages are between "Comic-aware" and "Comic-oblivious" movie-goers, but I would think that even if the "Comic-oblivious" group didn't get it... they would in turn be intrigued and maybe ask questions of their "Comic-aware" friends, or just scratch their heads and move on. Maybe it compells them to see the Hulk movie possibly to find out... even if that movie does not follow up with it. I'll agree that the cameo woud have to be inserted in such a way that does not confuse the story for those indivduals, but I can't see it being a negative if some don't understand. Even though some of the writing on the Simpsons is geared towards the adults... it does not seem to hinder my kids enjoyment of it and there may be even be more material percentage wise that they don't get. You see "inside jokes" or "in-the-know-references" not intended for the majority viewer, in other films like Shrek and other Disney flicks for instance. I recognize it would take effort to coordinate the cameo appearnces but I still feel it would be a mutually beneficial strategy for all the studios to unite the Marvel Movie Universe, even in a small way. I don't recall if ever there was a series of movies linked with one another quite like this. In a way it's like Norman Lear's TV series'... many linked with one another in a big TV Universe... All in the Family, The Jeffersons, Maude, Good Times, Florence with TV crossovers.

Actually Iron Man could make a great movie by himself...with the Vision, Thor, Giantman, Wasp and Cap (maybe Beast) the Avengers could make an awesome visual... then again so could the Defenders or even the Champions! Imagine the Champions on the big screen Ghost Rider and Iceman, that could be an effects challenge.

Damn Gene! Was that some sort of Low Blow nyuk... nyuk I could care less if I was the only fan... Spongebob is cool! I watch with my 2 daughters everytime I get a chance. I love the "cursing" episode!! What about a contribution Gene? or do you want to find a new topic to torture us with... more talk of how our collections are going to be just chunks of plastic?

I'm a Graphic Designer - Desktop Publisher... just wanted a cool Icon. Coming next month... "Homer-thing"

Here's a close up up my new Icon for any that care... A combo of my favorite cartoon and comic characters Meet... SPONGEVERINE!!!

Had to go straight there, eh? I believe they could find a way to make a deal regardless... especially if both sides realize they could benefit. One cross-over given, gets a cross-over in turn down the road. They are businessmen and money is the main motivation. I can't imagine why they couldn't see the obvious benefit... with little investment. It would serve them well to create a combined hero universe... maybe I'm naive dreamer...but wouldn't it be grand!!!

Here's an idea... Wouldn't it be cool if the "powers that be" behind every superhero film could envision a bigger picture in which all the Marvel Movies could be linked together with the use of character crossovers... thus creating a larger, less isolated Marvel Movie Universe? I think X-Men, Spider-man and DD have all missed a great opportunity so far. Crossing other heroes (even briefly) into the main movie could help in so many ways. Giving a little more punch to the main movie while helping promote the other "cameo hero's" upcoming movie, not to mention creating serious intrigue in the minds of the viewers for pending sequels. For instance.. would you have like to see a brief scene in the X-men movie in which Wolverine was scowling at a TV report that has brief footage of the Hulk battling some mysterious white creature in Canada, (or maybe just ripping into a small town) etc? The special effects and investment could have been simple and minimal (maybe using existing footage)... just enough to let people know Hulk is in this world and in the mix of things. ..or wouldn't it have been neat in the Spidey movie if there was a scene with Daredevil briefly? Maybe the two accidentally swinging by one another? or just Attorney Matt Murdock "tip tapping" around town with his cane and stopping to consider Peter Parker as if he knew something was unusual about him? Maybe non/newbie collectors don't notice it, but we do. A little more substance and detail for us long time collectors. I know they could do it with a little cooperation, forethought and creativity as to not screw up any timelines, etc. It could also lead to a Secret Wars type "Multi-Hero" story line that maybe becomes a Trilogy... all the while the individual character's movies still continue... just like the comics I realize there would be some problems accomplishing this, but we know they could do it if they were so motivated, so let's try and keep the discussion positive rather than dwell too much on the red tape that would need to be cut for this to happen. Also... If DC gets it's Movies going again... there could be "cross publisher crossovers" too!! How about a Hulk vs Superman short before X-men 2... the rematch before Green Lantern the Movie?

I knew there was no link between the 2 characters, but thought it might still be considered by some to be a worthwhile collectible companion to DD 131. In my What If? post I mentioned how Spider-Girl can be looked at similarly. The recent character we see today had her 1st App. in What If...? 105 v2 and the CGC label credits... the 1st Appearance of Spider-Girl... while realistically (like NF 15) the first appearance of a character with the same name is What If? #7 v1 whre Betty Brant is a lame version of same. No current SG fans are stocking up on that one either There's more info at the post...

Hey Jamie... Not really worried (is my too big?) ... just noticed it changed late last night while there were less members online. Seemed as if someone misunderstood my comments and wanted to punish me No biggie. I am new here though... so I did notice. Hey... I saw "Unbreakable" again last night. I'll comment at your post. Bru

Rickdogg... I like your auction format. I tried to learn how you did some of your HTML from viewing the source earlier tonight (on your Hulk 180 auction). As stated, I sold the other MTU 1 9.4... not looking to gouge anyone I'M A FAN!!!... but I'm always on the lookout to upgrade and sell the copy I'm upgrading from... seems to work for me.

Hey blowout... No I bought the 9.4 oww and then 2 weeks later a 9.4 White pager showed up... so I sold the 9.4 oww at cost and went after the 9.4 White. It was always a favorite and high on my want list and I'm a page quality freak to some extent. I DON'T own more than 1 of either. I have a 9.6 HFH 1 that I paid dearly for, but I know 3 other individuals that own one as well. One of you guys knocked me down a star for my post? It was 3 Stars 5 minutes ago until I made that comment...not nice

I feel that Marvel Team Up #1 and Hero for Hire #1 are very rare books in 9.4 or better for obvious reason and are probably the strongest books long term. Marvel Feature is undervalued but seemingly more available. Defenders #1 in 9.4 pops up semi-regularly. The rest are common enough. Marvel Team Up #1 and Hero for Hire #1 I've watched these 2 books in particular for the past 3 years. Only saw (3-4) 9.2's of MTU #1 and (2) 9.4's of which I bought both. There was a 9.6 that Motor City had but they forgot it was on my want list and sold it for 1K over a year ago. Hero fo Hire #1 is almost as tough. I have one of the 9.6's and know where (3) others are, and (2) 9.4's... but that's not many out there. I know where you can Find a HFH #1 9.4... Sullypython. I too thought Nick Fury 15 might be a sleeper due to it's possible association with the current Bullseye character. I bought (2) 9.4 copies and had difficulty moving the extra copy during this DD frenzy ($325). If it does not garner much interest now, I can't hope for too much more down the road (Unless there ever becomes any kind of tie-in which I doubt) Those Late Major SA titles are available in abundance. Only a good buy if you can get them below market. I would not expect them to grow in leaps and bounds either.
