  1. yeah, my first thought when seeing the scan was that something was up with the book.
  2. I know everyone has their own favorites, but here's my list of top 10 SA DC Keys:
  3. I've picked up a new obsession the last few months in the form of Alexis Ziritt, creator of Space Riders and Night Hunters. The stories are great and varied - Space Riders is like an 80's morning cartoon gone mad, while Night Hunters is a hard sci-fi cyberpunk dystopia - but it's the artwork that's just unlike anything else out there. Anyone else on this bandwagon?
  4. This whole episode is really cringe-y. One the one hand I don't think people's livelihoods should be destroyed because they made a mistake. On the other hand it certainly doesn't seem like this guy did anything to atone for what he did, and putting him in a place of power is a poor example to others that this type of behavior is ok.
  5. In terms of "importance", I think cultural influence is the way to go, in which case FF and Dr.Doom get shown the front door. Nobody outside of comics much cares about them. And ASM isn't a 1st appearance, go b'bye! So: 1. AF15 2. X1 3. ToS39 4. IH1 5. JiM83 6. Av1 7. FF52 8. ST110 9. TTA27 10. ToS 52
  6. Maybe the problem is that people think being bisexual is "shocking", or should be, or is intended to be.
  7. I think everyone's definition of "decent/good" is different? Tons of stuff around the $200 mark that's certainly worth owning, IMO.
  8. I do have to say I was surprised that ASM1 had gone up that much. I assumed it was below the 1st appearances of other big characters. To me, FF5's popularity is completely weird. Doom doesn't carry his own comic, and doesn't have much going for him in my opinion. I'm shocked it rates as highly both in price and fandom. But hey! To each his own.
  9. I look forward to the day when characters' sexuality is un-newsworthy.
  10. well, then it's just subjective, in which case I choose ST168 as my top book.
  11. Just going by the unrestored, 2.0 entry-level price per copy, which I'd say is the best proxy for mass demand: 1. AF15 $28k 2. FF1 $16k 3. Hulk1 $14k 4. ASM1 $11k 5. X-Men1 $10k 6. JiM83 $8k 7. ToS39 $6k 8. FF5 $5k 9. DD1 $3.5k 10. Avengers 1 $3k ...JiM85 $2k ...ST110 $2k ...TTA27 $2k ...ASM14 $1500 ...FF48 $1300 ...X-Men 4 $1300 ...Avengers4 $1200 Did I miss any?
  12. Separately, if anyone missed out on the limited edition (195 copies) High Society Regency Edition HC/slipcase from last year, Heritage is auctioning off a few copies. I have one, and it's beautiful.
  13. yup. Busy guy! This Prophet movie sounds... meh. I wish they'd do the Brandon Graham sci-fi version instead.

  15. No worries! I had the same thing with issues 2 and 3 in 9.6. Eyed them back last year when I got my 1 in 9.6, and was like... ehhh do I need these? (and then I did lol)
  16. Completed my BW Grendel 9.6 run, upgrading from a 9.4, and scored this amazingly rare self-published Head Lopper 1.
  17. Post your complete sets if you got 'em!
  18. Leaving this up until Saturday morning, then off to CGC for a press and slab.
