Its been a tough book to find the last couple of years. Money will bring them out now. Fun read.

Yep, and maybe CGC will get BKV's name right, eventually.

Runaways 1 is also very tough to find in hi grade. I have been trying to get a second book, and have looked though dozens of books and never seen any above maybe a 8.5. I have a 9.6 but would love a 9.8.

I am a big fan of Molly Hayes as a comic book character, but she could easily become super-annoying in a live-action adaptation. Is there any idea on what channel the show would air in Canada?

You won't have trouble finding one now.

Hulu, web based streaming service..

Disney recently acquired a 30% ownership interest in Hulu. Disney, as we all know, also owns Marvel. From a business standpoint, it would appear Marvel/Disney has more of a vested interest in shows on Hulu vs. the ones on Netflix. That being said, I hope the quality of the Hulu show is at the same level as what we've seen for Marvel shows on Netflix.

I hate hulu. You can watch for free with a bunch of commercials. or you can pay a subscription fee to watch fewer commercials? I'll wait until someone pulls it & throws in on Torrent at that point. I refuse to watch commercials if I'm paying for a subscription service (yes yes, I know... my cable company has commercials and I pay a subscription fee to them too. I don't care. It's different)

How so?

[JLS Comics]

I like this but I dont want to sign up for yet another streaming service. Its the way of the future though unfortunately ... streaming. Cable will be obsolete before we know it.

[Old Fashion PB and J]

Not signing up for Hulu to watch a show.

I don't know how to explain it. But it's different in my brain. I don't see a Hulu subscription as the same as cable. I see it more like I'm mostly paying for instant access to a library of DVDs/BluRay's of 99% old content. I just have this aversion to dealing with commercials when I'm paying specifically for the convenience of on-demand viewing.

You're not the first person to feel that way.

 

I harken back to the old radio model. Some shows were sustaining, others were not.

 

In that model, you will see commercials during that old content viewing. You would not see videos when watching a Hulu original. Are there commercials during Hulu original shows? The idea is one pays for the other.

[Doktor]

From what I know, you get commercials during all Hulu content. You just get fewer commercials if you pay for a subscription.

 

The idea for Hulu was that the commercials pay for the hosting & delivery & add some extra revenue for stuff that's already paid for when it's first aired on TV (since Hulu was designed as a joint venture between a few networks so they didn't have to host on Myspace or maintain their own sites anymore)

 

But it's become an independent entity & the same networks are essentially double-dipping out of it now. Still get the broadcast TV revenue and now are selling the rights to Hulu (even though they kinda all still have a stake in it?) which allows them to justify charging people.
