If I had any money whatsoever, I would have bought some from you. Judge Dredd is one of my all-time favorite characters, and while I've been getting the Rebellion "Complete Case Files", I've seriously considered getting some of those early Progs.

Nice to see they did well! :thumb:

Interesting! I was going to suggest taking Mile High's prices with a grain of salt. You would do better to take ebay sales versus mycomicshop. Also, might I suggest looking up New Universe titles at Torpedo Comics (www.torpedocomics.com). They have a wonderful section called the Monolith tha tfeatur...

Weird side question...does anyone know how DC/Wildstorm is able to continue Top 10 without Alan Moore's involvement? If he can take League of Extraordinary Gentlemen with him, why not Top 10?

I read Beyond the Farthest Precinct and was kind of 'meh' on it. Was Season Two any good?

Re: Streaky the Cat

Am I the only one who feels that Supergirl's companion, Streaky the Cat was severly underutilized? :P ALL the "Super-Pets" are severely underutilized. http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc300/yodazone/SergioAragones.jpg :D Ok, that sketch is all sorts of AWESOME! I love Sergio Aragones, a...

I went for 'maybe', mostly because I'm more of a trade guy.

I WILL read this in trade. Rucka and Oni = Solid Gold. I love his Queen and Country series and I've heard noting but good things about Whiteout. He's good with characters.

Two of my best friends live in Phoenix and I've visited them annually for the past couple of years in that fine city. I'm thinking of coordinating next years visit to coincide with that Con. Though San Diego is back on the table too.

Maybe I can do both? :hm: :lol:

Also, my man Elveen for always hooking me up with a killer deal on books. I'm so close to a complete Sojourn run now, I can taste it!

I'm not thru all the Crossgen books yet but I know at least Sojourn ended mid story. In it, Arwyn only manages to collect 3 or 4 pieces of the total 5 to reform Ayden/Atwaal's arrow before the book ends.
This is truth. :cry:
