  1. Not too bad, have some Magic cards from back in the day when I used to play that could use some grading. Sadly I guess my signed card from Cassius Marsh when he was running back for the Seahawks isn't signature series material due to being late by an estimated four years
  2. thanks to the fine folks at Humble Bundle, I got Crystal Shard-Passage to Dawn for only fifteen bucks! Been rediscovering these books again after a hiatus from reading in the past six years!
  3. Definitely Spider-Man vs. Green Goblin at the end of the first movie. Especially showing Spider-Man strengthened by his resolve after not willing to be defeated
  4. Not as badly as Disney plus where they still work a dollar out of you regardless.
  5. Just finished a playthrough of New Vegas on Xbox (completed it on PC years ago though), and am moving on to Witcher III on PC followed by a Wizardry 8 run.
  6. Great show, this and Mandalorian make me feel like I'm twelve again Pretty great cameos and interweaving of past characters and all in all a better addition to the Trek mythos compared to Discovery tenfold. Bravo!
  7. 1. Todd McFarlane 2. Jim Aparo 3. Frank Frazetta 4. Dave McKean 5. Mark Bagley
  8. 22 years old currently, started with Superior Spider-Man in 2012/2013 right before the newsstand cutoff from Marvel (!), then went and read the source material from the '60s to the '90s (a few JMS' stories from the 2000s as well) alongside the X-Men, which led to my discovery of Todd McFarlane and how much bigger the world of comics was to fifteen year old moi beyond DC and Marvel. Feels like yesterday but it's already almost a decade ago.
  9. The origin may not be cool, but the memories associated with said books as well as the people you bridge a communicative gap with and share ideas makes an origin story not even worth dwelling on. Fandom, as much as it can destroy, also creates and nurtures. Heck, I'm in my early twenties and the first ever comic I read was a newsstand Superior Spider-Man 8 at a Barnes and Noble, but I eventually discovered greats like the Dark Knight Returns, Spawn, as well as the Spider-Man costume saga and MUCH MUCH more, and sadly I have no real life counter parts to rejoice in these discoveries with, but that's what makes the boards such a great place.
  10. Welp, on the bright side they said the same thing about James Bond and we got Indiana Jones as a result of that declination, still a bummer though.
  11. Hi, I stopped buying new comics a couple of years ago, but my interest in the latest Spawn run has gotten the better of me, and since Image Direct shut down, I was wondering what other subscription service I could use now that is the most reliable? Thanks in advance!
  12. Hey guys, after a recent replay of the Darkness video games as well as the recent emergence of Witchblade's 25th anniversary Kickstarter I thought it'd be nice to do a small reminiscence for the series since it's turning a quarter of a century year old and the mythos was incredibly well done that it deserves a mention. Anybody watch the Witchblade series either or play the Darkness games, etc? What'd you enjoy about most out of this collective IP, guys?
  13. further news in the BBC's constant bid for diversity: https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/51264879
  14. 1.) Thor - Now don't get me wrong, the one in actual Norse mythology is quite epic, but comic book Thor was always a bit of a bore and in the movies he felt quite useless and hokey as a laughing stock(pre Ragnarok). 2.) Deadpool - the costume is unique and all but the first movie was kind majorly cringe and although 2 was better it wasn't by much. 1997 and 2003 series were pretty as well 3.) Batman - this isn't to say he's a terrible character, I think his runs even in the limited series' were quite great, just his character never seemed all that dynamic to me. Long story short he just seems overhyped. 4.) Captain America - with the exception of some of his Red Skull stories it really just felt like he should have stayed in the 1940s. Another case of just terrible and bland writing that I just couldn't care for. 5.) Aquaman - Can't say what's not already been said
  15. 1.) Spawn 2.) V (from V for Vendetta) 3.) Wolverine 4.) Spider-Man 5.) Dream (Sandman comics)
