Wow
Very nice. Congrats!
Did you ever meet BWS?

Sadly not yet. I really started going to cons after he quit.

Thanks for all the kind words. I am very stoked about finally getting a high grade copy. It has eluded me for years. Usagi, the Barks/Rosa Ducks and Valiant have always held a special place in my heart. https://i.postimg.cc/4ybvN2n6/IMG-9616.jpg Magnus the more I learn about you the more I like you...

Yes it is a legit sig. and yes CBCS does verify them. I have a Solar 3 and Solar 10 both verified signatures of BWS. Outside of those two books I have always wanted XO (actually a couple of them!) and Unity 0 signed by him. I think those are some of the most important books he did for Valiant.i love...

I don’t know that massive is the right word here..lol. According to the article it was 2 people. Honestly if they haven’t seen it coming they have not had their eyes open. DMG is back to upsetting creators. Brett Booth is off Bloodshot, Juan Jose Ryp has moved on from Rai (personally that hurts me!)...

I would state that most of them are variants, and that's a whole other beast! Lol. But the overall health of the market is staggering. So many books have gotten huge bumps that just seem to keep going. I agree or course that this is buoyed by other markets..high waters float all boats as they say.

Anyone else noticing the exploding prices on hot characters? Every time I turn around another book is reaching crazy prices. Every Genre seems to experiencing massive growth. It’s just so crazy to me. Books I bought off the rack 10 years ago getting hundreds of dollars raw, books I bought for. I jus...

Rai, every itineration has been awesome!
Rereading Shadowman from acclaim has been better than I remember it.
XO has always been a favorite.

But Rai. Always Rai..lol

I know people don’t remember but the combo blanks are much rarer than the regular blank cover. For those that don’t know they had flip book blanks from 2012 (?). They were XO/Harbinger, Archer and Armstrong/Bloodshot and Shadowman/ I forget right now..lol. I could pull the, out and check. I think th...

One of my favorite variants ever just because it was so crazy! I have 2 copies and I have a make ready (which is different layers of the cover as it went through production, 4 sheets) which is so fun. Super happy that I have the goat and then I have one of the characters from Stalinverse.

Yea, the Brushed Metal threw me off. Damn, I didn't realize that those Psi Lord books were that scarce! They are 100% ugly!

That is why they are so rare!

I know a lot of people don't like her, but she's not doing anything different from most editors. All editors will either ask for writers to pitch stories or pitch a story to writers and say what do you think. Comic book companies are always looking for story ideas. What does vary from Editor to edit...

That's some great info!

Great list and I love the valiant issues, non incentive... great info!

I just read the interview with Hopless, and now that’s what I am. What a disappointing interview. He talks about not discarding what came before while doing something new...and then he does exactly the opposite? Stranger in new land/time? They did that. Looking to the armor to tell him about the wor...

That’s a mighty fine piece! I am very envious of some sketches that people have pulled, especially like this one!

I know how you feel about knowing a real place and seeing it in a movie. It has happened to me many times. It takes me out of what I am watching many times because I think about my experiences there rather than what the movie or show is doing. Lol. I enjoyed the movie and hope for a sequel. Oh what ...

I love when I walk away for a bit and then come back and read all these comments. So glad I was not alone in my thoughts. Fine book as a comic, but not a XO comic.

Interesting list. Seems like some blow back on DMG. To me it seems like people believe and books to invest in are the original versions. I mean there are so many good books from VEI. So many first appearances I think would warrant more attention. I still appreciate all your work doing this DBS! I s...

I would love to see a Rai game, and I would get it regardless of the game.

I don’t know where you got 45 mil from. That would have been week 1. Obviously it had a lot more to go. I feel very confident that it would have crossed the 100 mil mark, and that’s not counting the world wide. By any standard I would say that’s a hit.

I started to watch it and need to finish it. I wanted to be so stoked for this, but it's looking super formulaic and vanilla. The goal was to hit the theater and check it out, but COVID spoiled my plans on doing that. I'll finish it and hopefully review it soon. As far as the other movies are conce...

Sorry tell you guys but the rates for shipping go up 2x a year. Postal is worse because they have changed their pricing to be more in line with fedex and ups (they were doing it for way less and getting killed!) . FedEx is cheapest right now for posted rates because they are trying to make up for th...

So any thoughts on who is guiding the ship editorially? No doubt it is Heather and Lysa. They have probably been doing it for months prior to the announcement. The reason I guess that is because in the announcement they talk about the books that they have coming (including Bloodshot, and XO. Yes Ro...

You guys are too funny!
