Books that you don't want in your collection...

Walking Dead #1...had a CGC 9.8 black label last year and got rid of it in less than a week since I believed the bubble was going to bust at any minute.

 

 

good job buying silver age books, but you took an L here.

 

I don't understand the rationale here. If he had the book, didn't want it, and sold it for FMV (at the time), how is that a loss? No one here has a crystal ball.

Avengers 55

 

 

Ditto

 

 

So overplayed on these forums I refuse to own one.

 

Is it acceptable to have one with detached cover? I wanted it for the story… :D

 

Thatll work. I feel the same way about IM55...one of the last books in my 1-300 run that I need. I would take one thats been used as tissue at this point, just want to read the freaking thing.

I picked mine from a gracious boardie (which is also a dealer), it has spine split & a completely detached cover.

I am still missing a #56 and a #58, and still on the hunt for the nicest #59 I can find, but more or less now I can read the whole Ultron/Vision/Yellowjacket arc… :)

What did poor Wanda ever do to Liefeld, that he drew her in such a damned way... also, Rob, DARLING... molars look different from incisors look different from cuspids & bicuspids.

 

:eek:

In fact, Wanda is the less worse of the group. His Captain America must have had serious problems in his muscles/ligament/nerves.

 

I hated so much that "move" on Marvel’s part, and I also think it somehow laid the bases for all that’s bad that came afterwards. :sick:

Books based around Deadpool, Squirrel Girl, and Lobo. I have little to no appreciation for these humor based characters that add little value to any narrative they are placed in. I will admit Deadpool may have been a decent character in the hands of a capable writer but as he is, especially today with him being little more then a representation of crude childish internet culture I cant stand him. He is also far too over-saturated in media especially as a congoer of both comic and anime conventions.

Any and all Green Lantern. He's been a character I never liked. Can't really say it's based on anything as I like characters with similar personalities and similar powers. I just can't get on board with Green Lantern. Maybe he'll grown on me, but not yet.

I would not even use the term "reboot": this is a relatively modern term.

That "decision" in 1996 was the worst thing up to that date that Marvel could have done…

 

Agreed, but it gave me a good stopping point. I don't own any Marvel books beyond the last issues of those titles before the new #1s. If not for that I'd probably feel some compulsion to keep buying new Spidey and Iron Man books, but thanks to that brilliant move I absolutely could not care less about Marvels beyond that point.
