That's all it takes these days. But in all fairness that Max series they did with Medina is one of my all time favorite stories. It was dark and very real world. I loved it!?

I also listen to their podcast (Tell em Steve Dave) and Walt and Bry have mentioned Foolkiller way before the show. But there is a massive audience for the show.

Also, if your LCS has copies of FF #642, snatch them up and do the same as for Sleepwalker #1.



-slym
I saw the odd return to old numbering for FF 642 in the shop this week - it made me pick up the issue to see what was going on, but I certainly didn't buy it... They just arbitrarily switched the numbering back at part 2 of the current storyline? Is anybody with a brain in their head even trying to run Marvel anymore?

I saw the Sleepwalker bit at the end... I had a letter printed in #3 of the original series from the 90's. It's the only issue I still have a copy of. :lol:
So the re-numbering is Part 2? That's seriously 'Why did Mickey Mouse divorce Minnie Mouse'!

Amazing Spider-Man 4 2nd print, the first Silk, seems extraordinarily hard to find. That said, thecargohold sold a 1st print for 19.99 and raised their price to 24.99. Lots of copies available cheaper than that still.

I have very quietly telling people to pick up this book...now watch it catch fire. Question to you all.. What is the better first app of this character? Phoenix or Baron Zemo. I know age plays a huge factor but I think the price may also. Let the games begin! Lol

Captian America 168 vs. Captain America 276?

I've been wondering which book will end up being *the* Baron Zemo book.

On the Zemo theme:

Hulk 449 and Thunderbolts 1 could be interesting specs over the next couple years.

If Zemo is in Cap 3, and if he doesn't die, I'll probably start buying those two books.

Hulk 449 is still undervalued in my opinion.

I think 276 will be the book because he is in costume, and it is more affordable, room to grow. May turn into a X men 54 and 58 type situation.

Even if he does die he could still be on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D! :lol:

I guess that's why the Star Wars #1 Hot Topic variant is being held back? I was wondering why they were going with the gray version for the toy:

I have a Hulk 324 and 449 ready for CGC submission. They look like 9.8s. I'll probably submit next week.
