I thought Clarke's third law was "never remove your glasses in front of Lois"....
You guys are too sophisticated for an unedumacated guy like mineself.

And the blabbering and circular logic continues... But where it used to the mania on a ratio of 15:100 maniacs to normal and relatively silent majority while cities burned, now it's down to the three or four remnant posters who simply can't see or explain - gasp- the world outside their window. :lol ...

The role in the decline of the books for elements of virtue-signaling and SJW themes was obvious even during their publication, but I think more importantly it is very telling that there are people here who dug-in on their defense of that and denial of these themes as "problems" yet now would ...

The once-again recently relaunched Incredible Hulk has actually hooked me in again - the return to a darker horror-tinged vibe is right up my alley and I was already a big fan of Nic Kleins art, which has been a treat on the title. It feels like a proper spiritual successor to the Immortal Hulk ...

I am absolutely planning on backing this at the highest tier shortly...

Mental-Algebra Problem: They tried it through Social Justice agenda publishing. And it failed. Yet in the past these things were done, often more successfully, without agenda and unhinged blue-hair life-vitriol.

And so, if it's done organically and correctly then the publishing line you are ...

Wow those are awesome! So many pages of amazing art from that first two years of the original Valiant. It was a series of guys who eschewed the "image Comics art style" and just made these gorgeous books with compelling pages. There is just something about that era of Valiant that delivered this ...

There isn’t an equivalent of Wizard today, in my view.

Agreed 100%.

It was a perfect storm - you had Wizard, Valiant and Image which were all new. Wizard went the "access media" route and Valiant and Image needed exposure so they gave Wizard access.

The closest thing to Wizard nowadays is the ...

Pretty good sell for shadowman 13 I think

Too bad for me. I gave up the Valiant variants back when issue 8 of that series was ...

My understanding is that much of Shadowman vol 5 was made in low-print run which declined significantly over the course of the series (Diggle's book). Is that true?

Marvel Team-Up #121 | Marvel [09/1982]

The first appearance of Frog Man also features a stunned Barry Allen and Iris West on the cover reacting with shock to Speed Demon.......

I thought a few of you guys would find this interesting. There was a period where this was, hands down, the hardest-to-find Marvel Action Hour figure that saw release (the Wave 5 Prototypes are another story entirely). This toy was a late-line release and didn't see much U.S. distribution (mostly ...

That issue is a great highlight of the Quasar run - I remember reading it after pulling it off the racks as a newsstand back in the day. It was just unreal that Gruenwald went there. It was awesome.

Trivia time! It also wasn't the first time that the Flash was hinted at appearing in a Marvel Comic ...

Just finished a Stray Bullets bind. I got David Lapham to sketch the end sheets I used for the books. One of the copies is for me and the others are for friends.

OMG I ...

I would love to be captivated by a comic again........

I haven't read a book from my order in probably since November of last year and the only two books I was truly looking forward to had monkey wrenches - I missed an issue or two of Silvestri's Batman Joker mini, and Frank Miller's Ronin 2 has ...

OHHhhhhh

I'm still here routinely enough. I post a little less though mostly because I've been focused on a personal project that I put most of my attention towards for some time now, and then also because there isn't much to say that hasn't been said until there is something new.


I really need to ...

I remember this conversation maybe three years ago now!

I saw this post as well. I could barely stomach reading it to be honest. I'm just so sick of that company as well as IDW that I can't stand it anymore.

Amazing Spider-Man #129 | Marvel [02/1974]
CGC 8.5
1st of the Punisher (Frank Castle) and the Jackal



Available now on Wave 1 Collectibles Online.

I've always been fascinated by these. Just one of the most obscure, cool projects to come out of Valiant fandom.

Terrible to hear. The concept of strokes terrify me. I want no part of that as I age.
