  1. It has become such a disjointed mess - between the books , comic books , films , tv series - et al the Star Wars timeline is at best a “ choose your own adventure “ .Where they go next cinematically is anyone’s guess , Knights of the old republic perhaps ? Here’s what I don’t get - 2,000 years prior to the Battle of Yavin people are still driving around in clunky spaceships ? Humankind has progressed more ( for better or worse ) in the last 100 years than an entire galaxy of planets has over 2 millennia ?
  2. I concur - that “ prank call “ deal at the beginning of TLJ already had me sour and by the time we were reintroduced to Mark Hamill playing someone who apparently was Luke Skywalker , My teenage son and I ( both lifelong Star Wars fans ) turned it off. I eventually finished it many months later ( my son wasn’t interested ) and though IMO the latter half of the movie worked better than the first half , it’s easily my least favorite . I will admit that the trailers make Episode 9 look appealing ( return of emperor , possible kamino/ bespin locations , seeing a Jedi lift a star destroyer ) another part of me doesn’t want to get duped again as episode 8’s trailers looked great too ....perfume / pig ?
  3. Saw the trailer ... getting a slight “memento” Vibe from it , also having Guy Pierce as the villain may add to that
  4. Yeah that’s odd - I did have a similar issue where at my LCS where Captain Marvel #8 came out with the Star storyline - they only gave out the Carnage cover - which turned out to be better or at least equal in hindsight
  5. Indeed - personally , it’s also one of my favorite marvel covers ( if I don’t have one already I’d grab this )
  6. Imagine if that’s how they introduced SS into the MCU in Thor 4?! That would be awesome , but that would also mean Thor would essentially be alone against Galactus ?! Apologize for the thread crapping tangent
  7. Damn - I’ll have to go back there today ( mid town grand central is the closest for me at work) I grabbed IH#25 yesterday ( the only current modern I get religiously now that the House/ powers of X mini series is done) and was debating if “ the Superman who laughs “ was worth my time
  8. Very nice ! You’ll keep a pressing company in business
  9. Marc was super cool to work with - he helped me on my hit list with half a dozen runs and even allowed me to have timed payments . Not an easy task on his end but he’s been all aces ! Highly recommended !!!
  10. Hopefully the pizza was tasty - I’m thinking 8.0 - maybe spot tac will help if you plan on pressing ?
  11. Can we vote with numbers that require decimal points ?
  12. I wish I could find the one where wolverines claws were longer than his forearms ....
  13. Does the anti - marvel rebel crew who ousted their previous employers to create image comics still hold any clout?
  14. Highly recommended - as a NJ native , my favorite old school TRUE comic show
  15. 8.5 -9.2 with cleaning IMO ...on a somewhat unrelated topic , I gotta say ASM 119-129 might be my favorite 10 issue cover run in the series ... congrats!
