The story of the Comolete is one of the cornerstones of the Valiant Universe. Everyone should read it, no matter what the price.

Just throw it in the trash.
Normally I would contact the seller to let them know that it's not what they think it is. But I don't feel like it, so I won't :|

I like that Turok cover and I ended up with several of that issue. I bought one and had a few given to me. Turok was a great comic at the start but than they gave him guns and ruined it.

How can you say that? Guns make everything better! Especially BIG guns!

And if you don't believe me, ask Rob Liefeld. :D

No way Turok's scientific bow and arrows was much better. I remember reading Turok when he was in that land of dinosaurs before he joined Valiant. But taking away his bow and arrows and replacing them with gubs was an awful move. Now if it was the Punisher sure load him down with guns. But not Turok.

Were gubs part of the Comolete story?

:D

I saw that this morning and thought WTF! That's not a signature, it's a scribble. I have seen some eccentric signatures but you can always make out a letter or two. This ones just garbage.

Wait, were referring to the shipping? It's pretty silly. Or were you referring to the start bid? Because that's bad too.

I guess it's all bad :thumb:

Yep, it's all bad. Just another time wasting seller who doesn't have a clue.

There is nothing wrong with that guy trying to sell a box of comics. As long as he is advertising exactly what he is selling. Even if no one would want that many of them.

The person’s right to sell whatever he/she wants is not in dispute. I believe GGSAE is simply pointing out a box of horribly overhyped, overrun, worthless books that no one would need 100 copies of.

Yes 10 copies would be way to much. I have one at that is enough and one gold one.
I wonder will the old Valiant comics go up in price?

Me? I'm not selling any of my comics. I have over 20,00 and they are mine. Unless I'm starving or dead they are staying right here. I have a gold and silver Unity #1 as well. I like the cover on them.

Is it not amazing....and terribly, deeply disturbing...that there are still unopened CASES of Deathmate Yellow Diarrhea still floating around...?

Burn, baby, burn.

One of the most hugely promoted Valiant projects that turned out to be one of its biggest flops. And yes.... it was that bad
