This thread has been dead ever since the freaking movie came out. Make it change :makepoint:

I's nice to see the flames still lit here even if the movie didn't deliver the results we all hoped for.

Just goes to show, at the end of the day it's really about the comic book.

Let's face it It's tough to separate the two entirely. When they take something that was "ours" for so long, and all of a sudden make it mainstream, we all think wow, that's cool. But the truth is thet hollywood machine only see's comics as intellectual properties to exploit and process into works that appeal to the "mainstream". After the movies come and go, we end up feeling somewhat betrayed, or even worse, violated (Daredevil, Spider-Man 3 and that god-awful Batman wand Robin movie come to mind) and we also suffer the effects, by having our books rocket in price only to fall precipitously when the movie's fail to deliver on the promises.

But we carry on :preach:

I think all the oldies in this thread know that S22 has always been tough to find. Early mail order days, CBG days, and now the internet days.

 

The movie did not change that.

Quite a bit of volume for raw and graded copies the last few weeks. Looks like folks who wanted to run for the exit...mostly did.
