You only have four days to go, so quit tapping that finger. I'm working on a process right now to turn into liquid metal. Not much luck yet.

I spent $107 at an estate auction today. Snowstorm precludes me from emptying the car but I'll show my stuff soon enough. I took this in right away to avoid any bending though.

The Detroit Rock City poster on the side is groovy, love that movie.

Trailer looked pretty good up until that last “big” thing they showed. Don’t want to spoil it but you know what I’m talking about if you saw it. Why ruin what could have been good with that. 

Just watched it again, now I see what you mean, bigger and badder is the name of the game now.

Yeah, I got to see so much behind the scenes stuff - I love all that movie magic stuff. It's really cool in person. In fact, I still have the security pass on my car that let me on the lot (I was her ride daily) i'll take a pic and post it later on.

A female one would be hella cool but I don't know that's true. I'm sure I would have heard about it as she worked on the original shooting and both sets of reshoots. I think the Super Predator is the 'big baddie' or at least that's the guess I have based on my limited knowledge. Or maybe the female could be slated for a sequel?

 

I think it was more of a rumor going around, based on the chinese movie poster, which sorta looks female

Fun fact: My sig other worked heavily on that costume. :P She would come home all the time and show me pics of bits she painted/aged/worked on that day. I agree it looks very cool!

That's awesome that she shared it with you. I also heard that there might be a female predator this time around, that should be cool to see.

From what I understand, it's supposed to follow the original Predator so that would make sense.

 

I had a chance to check out the sets when it was shooting and they looked amazing! (sig other worked on it)

Whichever way they go with it, I'm excited to see it!! The latest predator costume design looks great as well.

Great topic. I enjoyed looking at all the books. I have been working on a run of Marvel Collectors Item Classics in VF or better. Not as easy as you may think. Those square-bound covers tend to disintegrate.

I enjoyed getting these signed by Stan. Regrettably, I have come to believe that the Dynamic Forces "Jack Kirby" signatures are not authentic.

 

Very cool books either way,  thank you for sharing.

Currently reading this one now. It reprints a couple stories but most importantly, it reprints stories from Showcase 4 and Flash 139 in it’s entirety. 

Key books for cover price then!

Perhaps.

Yeah, X-Men: Gold #30 was a wedding issue as well.  I never thought about the parallels that both issue 30's are wedding issues until you put Gold in parentheses.  I will say this though, the cover to X-Men (vol2) #30 is one of the more iconic X covers to me.

I was on the wedding line of thinking b/c one the FF books in the pile says wedding of Sue and Reed,  and these were on the rack at the same time, while I was in store to get Batman 50.

I can't believe they reprinted X-Men #30.  Isn't that a dollar bin book?  I've got at least 3 copies.

wedding fever maybe? Isn't the new x-men (gold?) #30 a wedding issue as well? 

To celebrate Marvel Knights 20th anniversary, 15 new True Believers books will be released. List of books in the article linked below

Shopping for comics was a good way to avoid the heat today...

Catwoman - new and back issue #1

I went a bit crazy with the True Believers this time, but for $1 It's hard to say no. 

Happy July 4th!

I truly believe this is an overreaction to past times when their grading reputation was not good. I look at raw comics on their site and at times it's obvious that the comic is undergraded. Great for buyers. Not so great if you want to sell them raw comics.

I have had great luck getting nice copies from MCS, when choosing their VF (8.0) books, many of them look nicer than VF.  Scan would be better than a photo for this book, but i think it is quite nice for VF.
