Not only that but the Avengers movies are actually good. The star wars movies except for the original 3 are horrible, awful, stupid films. Popular yes but awful.  BigLeagueCHEW, davidpg and Bo1983 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Readcomix Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) I know some of you guys are loving the coming of Kang, and I sincerely hope he delivers for you cinematically  and they release Kang-a-Roos Underoos and everyone lives happily ever after, but….the dude wears trout-fishing boots all the time! I can’t shake the feeling that we’re more likely to get another Grandmaster a la the Lebowski Thor comedy director style, not some epic bad@ss Thanos type. I still say we get the Marvel western cowboys out of this, resulting in a Hawkeye and Two-Gun Kid series on Disney+, and maybe an adaptation of the Rawhide Kid mini where he comes out. This is the vehicle for Disney to bring back westerns; forget Avengers #8 and start hoarding those Dell photo covers! Edited August 2, 2022 by Readcomix Missed a word Cat, Bo1983, aardvark88 and 1 other 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolverineX Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Bo is back.  Anyway, glad to see avengers 8 back as the hottest book of the week.  Majors is set for 5 projects so we will be seeing The conqueror a lot.   Also yes, we are comparing silver to bronze so not apples to apples Bo1983 and Comics4All 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT no worries... The house is now worth 168% of what I bought it at based on local sales over the last three years and it is already more than halfway paid off. I put a LOT down. I am locked in at a much lower interest rate than anyone can currently get. Selling the book pales in comparison to what I would have missed out on if I did not buy the house.  That's why I laugh. At the end of the day it is newsprint. Eventually the rest will be sold to pay for a nice vacation home somewhere. Edited August 2, 2022 by Buzzetta jcjames, musicmeta, F For Fake and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it will make you feel better to know I sold my first AF 15 for $135, and was thrilled as I'd paid $95 for it less tnan a year before. A $40 profit in under a year. I was hooked. Or my last sale, which was a 5.0 for just under 20K. I wouldn't mind having either of those back. Bo1983 and jcjames 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, I remember having a long drink as I hit "submit" when I bought the 3.5 for $5500 and then a few years later, the 6.0 for $23k and having that feeling of agita wondering if I just did something incredibly stupid. Now, even if it slips back a bit, I can still sell it in around a decade from now and put it a nice chunk down on a small condo in NC or FL or somewhere that I see ocean. As long as the hits outweigh the misses I will still play. The idea though is to still let go of more than I take in, either by dollar amount or physical footprint. Maybe it is time for a plastic crack sale... first of the year... Bo1983 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
