  1. Frank: Nice beaver. Jane: Thanks. I just had it stuffed.
  2. Better than showing Harry Potter 1-7 for the hundred thousandth time.
  3. That was my first thought as well. Either GA Cap or Marvel Mystery. Just too many awesome Schomburg war covers. Supreme eye candy.
  4. My very few interactions with Bob were always decent (I don't recall ever buying anything from him though). I remember running into him at one of the big cons (either WW Philly or Bmore) and asking him about Green Lantern #76; specifically about the lack of uber HG copies (this was well before the first 9.6 came up). I sent him a follow up PM and he came into the Bronze thread we had at the time and gave his input/reasoning. He towed the line between comic book genius/historian and Rozanski Hucksterism and cuckoo for cocoa puffs. But mostly a mix of all 3. He was a character, for sure. RIP Bob.
  5. Hoping for the best, expecting the worst. I’ve tried to avoid anything about this movie (plot, news, cast, everything). Really, the only thing I’ve heard is that it’s supposed to take place between the original and the Cameron sequel. I hope it’s not a direct prequel to Aliens (ie. Not about what happened to the LV426 colonists. We already know that story even if we didn’t see it).
  6. I bought an Alf 48 from there many years ago.
  7. Sure, I would do it. Like Shad said, it would need to be from a trusted seller. I wouldn’t take a chance on eBay or IG (unless it was an in-person meet up). That said, I think the most I’ve ever spent on a raw book was $800. That was for an FF5 many years ago. I had it graded afterwards and it came back a 4.0. I still have the book, so I think I did alright.
  8. Swamp Thing, Sandman, Transmetropolitan, Invisibles all are great. Preacher blew me away and will always be a favorite. 100 Bullets was awesome and ambitious.
  9. Was the movie fun and entertaining? YES Were the performances good? YES Is it worthy of an Academy Award for Movie/Director/Actor/Actress? NO Is it worthy of Academy Award Nomination for any of those? NO
  10. Merry Christmas to all my fellow nerds!
  11. I liked the older sister better. You’re right though, it’s easy enough to be able to swap the cast out and go a different direction. It would be smart to do something to keep Campbell involved though. As long as the story is clever and the kills are good, people won’t be bothered too much by a new direction.
  12. Sad news. Very sorry to hear this. Condolences to his family & friends. the Zappa avatar always stood out for me.
