everyone please go to the for sale thread in GSB and either list something for jimjum or buy something! a great cause for a great guy!

if still available-

all my best wishes for a full recovery jim! you are one of the best guys here and we need you back!!

picture this: AVENGERS 5: THE RETURN OF THANOS!!!! i know, i know. but it's the last marvel villain that i found compelling in a big way. i miss infinity war and endgame even more now.

"and when push comes to shove, i will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love!" lmao. classic!

this was a great clip, thanks for sharing

in his autobiography from 2012, he talks about making this movie and the ins and outs of the process, literally. it's a good listen/read. and spoiler alert, yes, they slept together.

i liked her. it was everything else about the movies that i disliked.

it seems that many people do not understand the difference between 'oddly similar' and 'homage.' for example, xmen 135 is an homage to neil adams' classic xmen 56 cover. it's not oddly similar, it's designed to replicate the other design with different characters. same with xmen 104, which is homage to xmen 1.

if by worst, you mean best, then i vote for kitten. no sidekick has ever been more worth of being rescued from torture. #headlights

as someone who has been in the market for this book lately, i recommend including larger photos and rear cover photos as well.

i must have forgotten to put mine in this thread, or maybe i put it in the other asm thread. anyway, got this earlier this year from @machone79 and i think it presents well for the grade. plus the WP that i love. nothing compared to @skybolt copy, but i'm still happy with it.

roy, you have a lot of valuable insight to offer in the world of comics and comics related stuff. i've gained valuable knowledge from many, many of your posts over the years i've been here and researching older ones too. i have a great deal of respect for you. you like to ask questions, and start discussions and debates. i appreciate the curiosity of your mind and your interest in engaging others. these debates can also devolve into arguments, especially here on the boards. one thing i notice is that you insist on replying to everyone, all the time. we all like to have the last word, but it often just means a conversation devolves into bickering. and often, that results in yet another locked thread. i am not blaming you, but i would recommend letting more stuff go. block who you cannot deal with, and let others have the last word on stuff even if you disagree. it will make your life easier, save you alot of time, and hopefully save some threads here that people would prefer stay open.

well, before yet another movie thread gets locked, if they are making the surfer a woman, it's a big F. no way around it. i love a good strong female superhero. captain marvel in her first movie and avengers endgame was awesome and believable. the first wonder woman movie is tons of fun. valkyrie in ragnarok was a cool character and well portrayed. but literally no one needs yet another popular character from 60-70 years ago to be given a sex-change. the surfer's origin story is based around the fact that he sacrificed his true love shalla bal to save his world. mephisto later tries to tempt him to do his bidding by reuniting them in a classic story. yes, a female could also do this. but it is not the same, nor likely to be as good, imho. what's more, it's a big leap for those of us whose favorite character was a man for the last 50 years to just say OK, now it's a woman. again. more importantly, who needs this? are teenage girls suddenly going to care about the silver surfer if its a twenty something woman? marvels and many other recent marvel films indicate the answer is absolutely not. has there been a bigger marvel comics SA character yet to be portrayed by a live actor in a film from marvel/disney? so many of us have been anticipating SS entry into the mcu. i love that actress too. THE WITCH is one of the greatest art films in the last twenty years. but no. not silver surfer. surfer deserves his own movie, without the FF. and it needs to be a man. and a bald one at that! (too old now, but mark strong would have been awesome for this 20 years ago)

white pages are important, no doubt about it. but in the latest CL results, we see $7100 for a 9.0 with white pages and $2600 for an 8.5 with owwp. wtf? as someone who has routinely overpaid for white pages, this result is nuts. almost 5k for a half point increase in grade. and last gpa in a 9.0 was 5k from june, so it should have been more like 4k now.

so, now i can ask, hows that 'marvels' movie doing?

comic swap link is not working. how much are tables?

agreed. comicconnects site is apparently much more modern and takes 9 minutes to load each page. however if theres one thing Borock can do at Clink, its add rear cover scans on at least any book over $100 value. not that hard. heritage does it. the last time i emailed them about a back cover scan, someone said they'd send it over, then they didn't. and they've gotten dozens of thousands of dollars from me over the years. that's an F in my book.

very sad news. sean was a very nice and cool guy. we did some deals and he also generously answered all of my questions about books and art that i was considering buying but knew little about. i saw this OA piece by andy macdonald somewhere and asked him about it because i loved it. he sold it to me right then and there for what he paid for it. really sad news. way way too young.

assume it would be worth MUCH less if the guy actually knew how to draw? interesting how that works. sort of like the movie "THE ROOM,'' its so awful its a classic.

armageddon was also quite terrible.

i heard marvels is pretty bad. too bad it doesnt have it's own thread here.

saw the japanese anime SUZUME with him recently. i pretty much only see stuff that a 9 yr old can see though. for grownup films i wait until i can rent or stream at home.

i go to many marvel and dc movies with my now 9 year old son. saw flash, saw antman quantumverse, even saw eternals together. neither of us had an iota of interest in marvels after seeing the preview (nor did i prior to seeing it).
