The Question, Caption Atom, Ted Kord Blue Beetle were all originally Charlton characters acquired by DC. The Watchmen characters are all famously analogs of the Charlton characters that DC acquired.

So did Charlton acquire the Blue Beetle from Fox and then it was acquired by DC?  BB dates back to 1939 or so, if I recall.  

I know nothing about the Peacemaker that'll make his debut in the upcoming The Suicide Squad movie so I decided to look him up.  I was shocked to see that he was originally a Charlton character who first appeared in Fightin' Five #40 in 1966.  I guess it was later acquired by DC.  Is this the biggest Charlton key?

The ‘threshold’

interesting if true…

 

Here's an extended version that highlights the theory in real time...

Bloom County was the only reason to buy (or get out of the trash bin) New York Newsday.

I haven't been to Oahu in many years - I went to Jelly's but I think it's now closed or converted to a different store type.

He should have checked the number, that Star Wars book is recorded as a 9.6

The fact that the certification doesn't match the label isn't making me feel better.

No kidding.  I had never seen this type of error before - I've seen restored/qualified have blue labels but the grade always matched.

For the original post of the Dr. Strange book - it's even in a newer style shell - those are impossible to swap out the grade without destroying the slab itself.  It's an inside job...just you wait and see the Ronan Farrow expose that'll follow it.

It's a great movie to sleep... zzzzzzzzz I woke up very rested.

Reminds me of the strutting Spidey in that Spider-Woman comic...

Ill go with a back cover that i hate to the fringe of having nightmares

Is that a Shel Silverstein reference?  If you're unfamiliar with the Giving Tree, it's an award winning children's book that probably gave many of them nightmares due to the author's huge, menacing grimace looking back at them when they were read a bed time story.

It doesn't show up in the recalled/error comics.  Maybe I missed it.

Let me also add that the theater I went to was full - not an empty seat in the house.  This is the 3rd movie I've seen since restrictions were lifted and this is the first full house I've seen to this point.

It looks like all the main characters are voiced by their original actors, so we will hear Chadwick Boseman once last time.

Just saw the movie.  It was fun and was a fitting bookend to Black Widow.  Although the Task Master deviated from the comics, the movie tied it well to the outcome that it offered to achieve.  The Red Room concept was actually pretty slick and there were a couple of twists here and there but nothing that was masterful.  It's a good popcorn movie and gives ScarJo her crowning moment.

It may actually be in the other thread. But with this fine search engine it may not even come up one or two spots down from this one.

And I am not kidding. I've gone to search for a thread, not have it come up, and then revisited the first page and it is right there at the bottom.

I don't know the length of the episodes either, however, according to IMDB the first episode will be "What would have happened if Peggy Carter and not Steve Rogers took the super soldier serum at the start of World War II."  

I thought there was another thread on this but I couldn't find it in this section.  Regardless, the premiere now has a date: August 11

I haven't seen an update on the website yet, but will there be a show in 2021?

I plan on being there on Saturday.  What a great lineup of dealers.

What's the USS Eldrige about?  I don't know that reference.

Quoting myself, I guess I need to take a shot.

I just read that it was alleged to be involved in the Philadelphia Experiment, which makes sense now.

What's the USS Eldrige about?  I don't know that reference.

Great transaction with Nick just the way I like it - great communications and timely payment.

Good detective work, Wiz, I'd forgotten about this thread.

I'm not following your comment above though regarding the "M" in relation to the logo - can you elaborate?

                         ASM #33                                                   ASM #34                                                      ASM #101

The "M" in Marvel from ASM 33 is angled while in issue 34 it is completely vertical on either side, is my guess.
