Re: Speculation: Bad Idea is doing Solar Man of the Atom
If they were truly confident in their product, they'd sell it in all stores, and create value through value. Instead, they play stupid games with a niche audience who are drawn to being treated poorly in the name of exclusivity. So, instead doing of the Walmart/Amazon model for sales, they're tryin...

Re: Gold Key Magnus set complete!
CGC 9.4 Magnus #1 (1963) is a ridiculously awesome book. A holy grail for Silver Age Valiant precursors.
(Only a single 9.6 grades higher, but I'm partial to the old label CGC books, personally.)

Re: Since I seem to be in conspiracy theory mode
For some reason, I'm thinking of Michael Jordan. He won 6 championships 30 years ago. He was an executive for a basketball team 20 years ago. If someone decided to hire Michael Jordan right now, knowing that he was once the greatest basketball player of all time, with the hope that he could match or...

Re: How bad is it to take a CGC graded comic out of its casing and read it?
I agree with these guys. CGC graded books are sort of the second half of the idea, "one to read, one to keep". You can read your "keeper" books, but if that was your plan, it's cheaper just to buy "one to read" and avoid graded comics altogether. Does this still apply ...

Any Interest In CGC Valiant Blind Boxes from Me?
Would there be any interest in Valiant CGC "blind boxes"? I'm thinking that I would make a list of all possible Valiant CGC books you might receive, so you would definitely receive something on the list, but you wouldn't know which book you're getting until the box arrives. My daughter kno...

I started my first Valiant fan websites in the later-1990s and registered the valiantcomics.com domain. It was done while Acclaim still existed, so it pre-dates anyth...

Re: Homages and Pastiches
If you zoom out far enough, all superheroes are just pastiches and extensions of the originals. Of course we don't think that, we're fans who actually read the books and know what makes all of them unique and distinct from each other. But even accounting for the differences, many heroes are just sl...

Re: What If Alien...
I feel like the goal would be when Marvel reinvented itself in the early 1960s...
However, I feel like the result would be more like Marvel's New Universe, but without the Marvel fanbase to get it started or give it a try.

It will be interesting to see if we get the same number of pages as 3 regular comics at $3.99 each... (which would be $12) or if there are additional pages for $12.

I'm sure if you research their current operating procedures that should answer those questions. Are they listed in Previews? Does Comichron track their sales/print runs?

First, this isn't a published issue... it's an ad for a shoe pre-order. Beyond that, maybe they can complete their Kickstarter, or at least respond to the people asking about it.
