    Not equating Superman to GOTG or TSS. Not for a second. Just saying if he could do what he does with D list characters, he will ROCK this one. Time will tell. I’m hopeful.

    In all fairness Rocket Raccoon and Polka-Dot man don't sound like good ideas but Gunn pulled them off. I think he will be fine with Crypto.

    Wonder Woman 205 comments state “Origin of Nubia”. This is incorrect. Wonder Woman 206 is Nubia’s Origin (and the comments for 206 correctly note this). While “Who Is Nubia” is written on the cover of 205, the issue is not the origin issue.

    Or, just maybe..... it will be the best Superman movie we ever had and the highest grossing DC movie ever...... written by an incredibly talented writer whose humor goes way above most of our heads. After a decade of DCEU dysfunction, I am ALL IN with GUNN... or as Vigilante would say "hashtag me too". That’s just funny. In bad taste? Maybe. But still just a joke. Now that I got that off my chest, let the bashing continue.

    I will be happy with a confirmation that Shazam (the character) has a future at all on the big screen. If Shazam does have a place in Gunn's plans, better off not keeping Levi. He hammed up the role WAY too much. Billy was portrayed as an adventurous, rebellious teen .... that became a complete goofball as an adult Shazam.

    RIP. CB Royalty.

    I happen to love this mythology. I still hope Gunn will do the character justice.

    Happy they went with the classic harlequin Harley outfit.

    I’m not saying this is the reason Shazam 2 bombed. i am saying the Rock was thinking about himself and himself only. undisputable.
  10. eastriver400
    In all fairness, he really wanted nothing to do with Shazam from the get go. He had a vision, with himself at the center, and it backfired on him. Unfortunately it may have taken Shazam down with him. I was ecstatic that such a big star was connected to the Shazam universe... Be careful what you wish for. I can only hope Gunn sees the potential in the character. Perfect gateway character for younger fans to get into DC comics.

    So the rumor mill on twitter is reporting that Dwayne Johnson blocked a Black Adam post credit scene that had the JSA invite Shazam to join. As a lifelong Shazam fan, I have to say the Rock really ruined everything.

    What a disappointment. I just hope Gunn/Safran reboot Shazam in the DCU. My hope is they didn't announce anything Shazam related in order for people to go see FOTG.

    Wait what? Why Darksied? What is the consensus on what this could mean?
  14. eastriver400
    I refuse to pay anything but cover price. If the comic says 20 cents, thats all you are getting out of me. PERIOD. But seriously, of course not. Who cares what you paid. Markets fluctuate. If you found a sweet deal, you found a sweet deal. Doesn't dictate what that book should now sell for.

    Loved the use of the song, and loved that one of the kids had a DM poster in the bedroom.

    Mind (or "nose") officially blown.

    Saw it last night. So. Much. Fun.
  18. eastriver400
    Well, my daughter was just watching “The Masked Singer” and called me in because it was DC Comics night. Jim Lee made an appearance as well as Helen Mirren and Zach Levi. I guess that’s some sort of PR for FOTG, but still pathetic. The fact that Shazam is Safran’s production and the promotion is dismal is not a good sign at all.

    Hello Mike, thanks for following up. I just sent you a private message.
  20. eastriver400
    Thanks for your sleuthing by the way. Those black light photos were amazing.
  21. eastriver400
    It looks less like a stain, and more like a lack of glossiness. Do you think it may be a production flaw?
  22. eastriver400
    TWO Quick questions. 1) I always thought bleeding was a common production flaw, especially with Red Ink. Is it possible the grader considered bleeding to be a transfer stain? Transfer stain is when the ink actually transfers onto the next page correct? There is no transfer of ink to the inside pages. I'm still baffled. 2) What about that scrape looking flaw? Not staining correct?
  23. eastriver400
    Ok here we go. I had to crack it. INSIDE BACK COVER: No stain whatsoever on the inside cover. There is red ink bleeding from the Zingers ad on the back cover. Again that isn't staining. BACK COVER UNSLABBED: Looks even less like a stain of any sort, however at the right angle under direct light, I do see what looks like scraping? Would love to hear your opinions now. @Stronguy @Funnybooks @JollyComics @theCapraAegagrus @comicginger1789 @joeypost Thanks so much. Im obsessing.
  24. eastriver400
    I’ve turned it toward the light and every which way I could. Still don’t see a stain!! Maybe as suggested above, it’s in the inside cover. I’m going to have to crack it open this weekend. thanks for your input.
  25. eastriver400
    I think you are right. Thats all I could imagine. I guess I will take a look at the inside cover as you suggested. I hate to think I sent the book in without examining the inside cover, but who am I kidding? It wouldn't be the first time. Quick question, if a stain isn't present in the inside cover do you think the 8.0 makes sense based on that tiny mark alone? Thanks so much for your input.
