nice job! how much was the A&A Die stamp?

The die stamp(s) fabrication was $38 total. Not exactly cheap, but then again Library Binding gave me exactly what I asked for. I don't have a scanner myself, so (before they had the A&A comics to scan)I had to rely on low-res Internet jpg's of the A&A ...

Phantom, the important thing is to make sure that the binding company representative understands exactly what you want, because there's some lingo that you'll need to wrap your head around.

- Cover color: Rust #840 (or PS8405)

I think to get out of the current slump the line needs to be redrawn to define what is and who are good and what is and who are evil. Heroes vs. Villains is the way it should be not heroes vs heroes and bad guys run the show while they scrap. It worked as a single story but come on Marvel and DC ...

I was underwhelmed for much of the 2-part story. You read Gaiman's 'The Wake' series from the Sandman and compare it to -this- funeral and it makes the Batman story seem a bit slapped together.

I know DC was trying to parallel 'Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?', but the whole Batman death ...

Hola compadre.

Nice job on the ring.

I didn't get into Valiant until -after- the ring promo and I didn't even see another one until 3-4 years later, going for ~$100 in a comic shop! :o :o Didn't buy it, of course, but a few weeks ago I was leafing through my X-O #0 (seriously, are there any of ...

Picked this book up because Gaiman wrote it to try and renew some interest in DC. It was ok if you consder it as an "elseworlds" type story. 5.5 out of 10 for me. I might not pick up the next issue so it wasn't that super. The explanation for where all the villains came from and especially the ...

It didn't come with the box, but for $8 shipped I'm very happy with it. :D
I can barely squeeze it onto my right middle finger and I need to soap the ring up to remove it.
