  1. Past hour
  2. That hurt me to read it. 😭 What a great cover though, I'm sure it's somewhere in good hands.
  3. No, 'legitimate sales looked to be appalling' means exactly what it says. 'Looked to be' means LOOKED TO BE, which they did and were. I never said 'only' looked to be, which would have had a different meaning... so why lie? This whole thing is really giving you a great deal of unnecessary difficulty.
  4. While I'm looking forward to seeing this, I'm also worried it won't do the books justice. @AJD, I totally agree with your assessment of the books...I found some of the concepts in them (especially The Dark Forest and Death's End) both ambitious and chilling. I recently watched the Chinese 30-episode(!) adaptation of The Three-Body Problem on Amazon and felt that it stayed fairly close to the source material (although it did add a few characters). Definitely worth a watch!
  5. Hey, I support your right to crack. So crack away!
  6. Manufacturer ink line on right side of front cover. Small tick near jb on spine. Some waviness on the top right front (pressable?) Thanks for looking.
  7. Yes, I agree, the legitimate sales were appalling. That's what I've been saying all along and now you're finally getting it. But just a few short minutes ago you were arguing that "genuine sales only looked to be appalling" which implies that they weren't actually so: So now you're finally admitting that the legitimate genuine sales of those comics didn't just look but were appalling. And that of course is why they were cancelled. Case closed.
  8. Today
  9. Correction: It is two billing increments. Once an attorney hits 7 minutes, you get a .2.
  10. So why this long song and dance on your part about affidavit fraud being the underlying reason behind the poor sales of these books? What were you trying to do if not make a case for the underlying popularity of the cancelled comics? But DC and Marvel were in the business of SELLING comics, not in winning popularity contests among fan boys. Yes, yes, winning popularity contests such as Alley Awards was all very nice but the bottom line was nonetheless still sales. And speaking of rude, whatever prompted you to make these comments if you didn't want an exchange of "pleasantries"? You're hardly now in a position to complain about "rudeness".
  11. I never avoided them, I just cracked everything out for years. I havent done that in awhile though. A lot of the scans are old, so a lot of those graded books have been cracked out.
  12. Nonsense. Twice you very strongly implied that the bean counters perception of weak sales was wrong: But the bean counters were correct. DC and Marvel weren't making money from the affected comics. What I clearly understand is that you're rationalizing. For whatever reason you're trying to argue that those comics should not have been cancelled. But any comic that failed to meet minimum sales targets for the publishers was cancelled which is right and proper in the real world.
  13. In the beginning of January I read through the 30ish issues of "the Incredible Hercules" run from 2008 IIRC. It was a pretty fun read with some nice humor, action, mythology, and Koi Pham and Clayton Henry had some really good art in the beginning of the series. I would actually recommend this for anyone that likes Hercules or Amadeus Cho.
  14. About a 5.5/6.0. C&P for maybe 7.0.
  15. Not just a "strong" page, but maybe the best Graham BP page ever.
  16. Incredible Hulk #180 - 1st appearance of Wolverine- Low Grade G/VG - Has MVS. Asking: $345.00 or B/O
