So now that I've contributed to the drama, I'll add a RAK to be positive:

 

Crossed Volume 1 TPB

 

This is the first original Crossed story. It collects the first 12 issues of the series and completes the story. (The follow up series have different characters.) So you don't need to know any prior knowledge and you don't need to buy any other TPB to finish the story. (thumbs u

 

It's a violent version of a zombie story and in my opinion the best Crossed story. Even though the series is known for the violence, the 1st volume had a good horror survival story. If you wish the Walking Dead had more action, or you like horror movies claim it.

 

 

I would like to add to this RAK. After you read Crossed Vol 1 you are going to want Vol. 2. So whomever chooses the above RAK will get the below RAK from me automatically.

 

 

The free webcomic:

 

Crossed - 'Wish You Were Here' finishes in 2 weeks after nearly 3 years of awesomeness.

 

Best Crossed story ever.

If it wasn't Crossed - still be in the top 10 of just...everything.

 

Crossed is an acquired taste - but if you know what's coming (snicker) then, there are some really good stories.

 

And some awful ones.

 

Family Values is hardcore to say the least......

 

If you have cast-Iron guts - you should take these, and then download the free webcomic. (thumbs u

The notion has been expressed from A-Z by many boardies that if you can't follow up with an equally generous offer than you shouldn't participate.

 

If you consider your offer generous, subjectively based on your personal financial standing, but it is objectively much lower in value, than it's not an excuse either.

 

Read my sig line chumps.

It will get taken. You might have to toss in some cash, though. A pile of $10s and $20s usually does it.

 

Or a stack of uclebenjamins, get it?

Anyone else notice that that whole issue seemed to skip friday?

I gotta go take a long nap- everybody have fun, and be good to yourselves.

Wait...I missed an ASM #50????

 

 

Yeah, but it was in poor condition and only worth $40-$50.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know you're joking, but the value of that book was way off. I sold one here on the boards for $125 that was in similar condition if not worse.

 

The book moves pretty quickly.

Time to adjust my spreadsheet on the cost of an ASM 50! Glad it turned out to be an even more desirable book then I thought.

Looks like a freebie day. You will also be receiving Crossed Volume 3 as well!

 

[ebtorres]

I've heard mixed reviews regarding Crossed... one of my cousins loves it though; says it's a hardcore book very different from a lot of stuff out there. I never thought to give it a shot, but it's Garth Ennis so maybe I will one day.

 

Update on Y: The Last Man: I'm done with book 4 and I am loving this series!

[maloney414]

Oh shoot yeah the crossed rak

 

[313josh-migration]

Awesome. Thanks guys.

[ebtorres]

So ebtorres got me thinking, and since it is Batman Day. Another Bat RAK. Same rules, free shipping in US, we'll talk about international.

Brave and the Bold 100, & 200, Dark Knight HC(NM)

 

 

 

Got this today! Thanks Scturo!! (thumbs u

How about making it clear that to claim an offer the new offer MUST be of equal or greater monetary value? Nothing in the rules states this however this is the notion that is really the crux of the issue and pages of shaming that never should have made it into the thread. Be clear. Be transparent. Inferred or thinking someone "should know" equal value is expected is not the same as putting it in black and white.

 

I could claim offers and post offers however I do not believe in excluding anyone based on monetary value so I am making a conscious decision not to participate. Essentially this has become a thread where if a person falls into the classification of being a "have" then come and play. If you are a "have not" then you are not welcome. Nothing in that sentiment, which many have stated, is even remotely generous or imbued with the spirit if giving. That sentiment is exclusionary.

 

If I put up a hundred dollar book and someone took it because they truly wanted it and would not be able to get otherwise and all they genuinely had to give back was a $15 book my attitude would be "Thank you for giving what you could." I realize that is not even remotely close to the sentiment of the most active and vocal participants in the thread.

 

If this thread is going to require an equal degree of reciprocity then state that in the rules and change the name to "The Reciprocity Tree." That is really what the unstated expectation is and the current name is a complete misnomer.

You are neglecting the many RAK that have been given

This is not the reciprocity tree, nor is it the Socialism tree
