I think you’re probably right about Galactus in that context. But how about this? A series about The Watcher from way before earth existed. Maybe he still watched the inhabitants of planets, but would also inject himself into their development, good or bad. Some planets could even have their own supervillains and heroes. This could provide endless storylines. Other worlds could easily be used to portray current issues we currently face or entirely unrelatable issues to our earth. Eventually, something went so wrong that he vowed to only observe.

Wow, I don’t remember that. I read most of the ROM run as it came out too. It has been 40 years though, and my brain is far from what it used to be. If that storyline didn’t happen, maybe it should have.

The Dire Wraiths from ROM? If so, I have to admit that I don’t remember them fighting.

I don’t know if the title is perfect, but I have a question for the boards. Why are uber powerful characters not usually brought into the Marvel and DC Universes with their own stand alone series? Im talking about characters such as Galactus, The Living Tribunal, The Watcher, The Celestials and other similar characters. You can make your own argument for others. Are we as readers, as both kids and adults, not as fascinated by them? Do we need more vulnerability, even from super heroes? Spider-Man, Daredevil, The Thing and others have powers, but are still relatable has having weaknesses and flaws. Even Kid Colt lasted a long time in his own series. Both Marvel and DC also had series for bad guys, such as Dracula and The Joker. Batman and The Punisher are both hugely popular characters, even though the don’t have super powers. Would The Living Tribunal just not hold enough interest to have been introduced in his own series? What about the original Beyonder? The One Above All? Are these characters just not relatable enough even though they are wildly powerful? Do we, as humans, need flaws and vulnerabilities for the character to be able to support a successful series? Would their powers just make most foes, good or bad, uninteresting to us? If so, why? There may be exceptions. Even Superman has his Kryptonite though. I’m thinking the one real character that eventually had his own series was The Spectre. Once he had a host, he could certainly be considered uber powerful. Galactus had a limited series, but well after he was introduced. I’m not sure if this topic has been broached before. I’d be interested to read your opinion. Maybe I’m just wrong about this.

This might be an interesting topic all by itself.

Run on.

I love seeing Vigilante 1 as a wall book.

Vehicular homicide?

I have a foolproof way to increase your comic sales on eBay and guarantee immediate payment. Maybe some of you have already used this with great success. 1. List as many looks as you can. 2. Set your shipping time to 1 Day. 3. Go on a 3+ day business trip or vacation. 4. Watch the sales, offers and payments come pouring in. Even when you accept offers, tell them you are away and won’t be able to ship for 2+ days, and ask them to pay you on a certain day or later, they will pay you immediately! This method may not work with an eBay store as you can set an away note. I suggest to not set your account as “away.” No need to thank me for this tested gorilla marketing tactic.👍🏻

Tough, tough book in high grade. I think the last three issues of VoE had a print run of about 100.

Gnaw.

Sweet gherkin, ya think? That might work.

As an American, I had to look this up. Why? 1. I have never seen these nor heard of this company. Turns out it’s actually German, but they do have operations in North America. 2. To find out where to buy them. Heading to the store now.

😮

@greggy Can you explain the voodoo you use to get all accounting errors on your account corrected immediately?

Does CGC, or any business, have a legal right to keep a customer’s credit card “on file?” If a check was sent in, there should not have been any credit card involved at all. I’ve sent a few checks recently for this exact reason. I guess I’m going to need to check my credit card I have used with them in the last.

Surprised the #5 is still here.

So much for appropriate and on topic.

Very nice!

My 9-28-21 Economy is gone now too. It will be missed. And most of the books in it aren’t mine, but other boardies’. 🤬

Thank you. I checked everything except Spotlight, of course.

Excellent! Thanks for the head up.
