A while ago (decade?) Marvel stock was at 2 dollars and today it's considerably more than that.

I could have invested in that but didn't have the capital.

The funny thing is that most of Marvel's money is not from making comic books.

I think Valiant could have been the next Marvel but like so many other companies they got caught up in the hype of the pre-comic crash with all the variant covers and insanely huge print runs. If they would have kept Shooter at the helm and had a stable business foundation I think they would ...

I wonder if this is really an all-new story? Do we know if this just isn't some unpublished story by Jim Shotter that they unearthed? Still will be cool to see it....

Is it doubtful that we will see Magnu and Solar come back or do they have the rights to those too?

I'm thinking releasing 2 or 3 HC ...

That would be

How about an old school gold variant for the fans?

How about a Platinum Error variant and just don't tell anybody?

That box on the right looks like a few of the long boxes I have that I've probably had for 15-20 years. Boy, they get nasty after a while. Especially because in my parents' house they have ...

Nice find! This is the stuff that collectors dream about!

ok so this looks like a website that helps you organize your books with the ability to show off your collection and allow opportunity for trade/sale.. Im guessing that they will want a cut of the sales of a book, kind of eBay-ish..

That's what it appears to be and that's how they hope to pay for ...

The sad reality, though, is that 97% of all people who buy comics could not care less about dings, dents, etc.

That's me, to a point. I can put up with a little crinkle or two, or even a smallish ding if it's a book I'm using to fill out a run. If I don't like the condition of comics I receive I ...

It will provide some protection. If the level of the flood waters go above the top of the container your comics will be gone. If you can store them high up or on the 2nd floor that would be best. I would never recommend putting comics in a basement. Basements can be damp areas and could attract mold ...

I think the MH Custom Mailers are the best. I used to have a N.I.C.E. subscription for a few years and never got any comics damaged. I couldn't imagine a better way to ship comics.

I have never ordered from Lone Star but I think it is silly if they are not willing to ship a $20 comic with a bag ...

There are really only 2 reasons. One for investment and two for trading fodder.

Don't want to spoil your fun, but it sucks *SQUEE*...

There, I made it. 300 at last...

So why does it suck?

I want to try it out but I just have not had the time yet. I just got my taxes done though.

I have read some New Universe stuff but honestly I just could never really get into it. I voted Defiant above but that was before I read that he was looking for what universe felt the most liek Valiant. Personally, I think none.

In my opinion, Valiant should have been the third big universe that ...

Just don't grab the wrong paper to use.

I'm not endorsing it but i got an email in my inbox today saying it is available to download now.

The only comis I have left to read are some Conan graphic novels and some comics in spanish that I can't understand anyways!

You mean you like watching shows on a network that doesn't show what it's very name advertises???





-slym

I remember when MTV played music videos!

I think Turok would be the most likely candidate. I wonder if Hard Corps would make a good movie.

You would never hear a redneck say that!

A bunch of drunk Valiant fans together. Now that would be interesting!!!

They're not bad. You're basically looking at a rash.

You want to delete one of Zeph's post!...Who died and made you Greg?

I'm on a mission from God.

Man those pics are repulsive. Can somebody delete that bs?

I agree with you. I was thinking about just trying to assemble a run in any condition and then worry about upgrading it later.

DUDE! That is awesome!

I have the english version of that.

If you need any help translating, spanish is my second language. Just scan it!

I would love to scan it but I don't want to damage the comic. I believe it would be very hard for anyone on this board to find another one of these. Which ...

I couldn't resist since I like the cover:
