Marvel want DC comics ripped up.

[RockMyAmadeus]

I just realized we hijacked this thread. Sorry OP.

Drinking and posting... not always a good thing.

 

Trooper... come home safe and thanks for your service.

 

I much prefer the hijack topic.

 

 

Oh, and BAD Marvel. BAD!

 

50 comics for ONE variant...?

 

Pffft.

[chromium]

that's comforting... Gin/tonic is the only drink left I can drink copious amounts of and still be able to function in the AM.

Looooove Bombay Sapphire Gin with classic Schweppes.

Maybe Marvel should be sending out bottles of gin instead of another stupid variant...

Now that's funny!!

And Fyi, Gin will kill your liver faster than other boozes.

 

WTF?

Why is that?

btw... I've heard that Gin and Vodka are essentially made the same way with just some subtle differences between them. Not that I ever checked that out for accuracy, but since we're lobbing booze trivia around...

 

Vodka is a neutral spirit, pretty much alcohol and water. Gin is a neutral spirit infused with botanicals, including juniper berries so it can be called gin.

Gin is Sin? Quite possibly.

I wonder how much this special variant is going to bring at auction once it's been CGC'd at 9.8/9.9

[comicwiz]

Although it's unlikely to happen, wouldn't it be funny if the promotion backfires, and we see unripped DC copies turning up on eBay selling for multiples of the Marvel variant.

Is this the first time something like this has happened?

 

This reminds me of a time when I worked at Yonge and Finch in North York.

 

There were 3 hot dog stands at the intersection. One at each corner.

 

One day, one of the hot dog salesmen decides he's going to undercut everybody by selling his $3+ hot dogs for a $1.

 

What happened? Every body had to cut prices to $1 to stay competitive. Even though they were almost losing money at that price they had to stay competitive.

 

I hope this doesn't turn into something ugly down the road and start a back lash that affects the hobby.

 

All we need is a new age in the hobby called the Shenanigans Age.
