  1. 2 months?! lucky guy, that's a fast turn around for them :D...they lost all my golden age books I submitted to them for CGC and didn't notice until I called six months after submission asking for an update (took almost another two months to find the books and send em off...with even more troubles from them in the meantime).
  2. Studios who have released a movie that bombed: If guaranteed hits were the point I don't think we ever would have got Iron Man to begin with.
  3. That's the rumour at the moment (though he sounds like he isn't going to have clay powers, rather it sounds like he is basically just Hush). I've always wanted his first appearances, as he is a favourite of mine, but never pulled the trigger except for buying a single loose page from his debut story in TEC #40...that's enough to keep me satisfied.
  4. I think what is really bothering me is that it is clear they are shooting the entire movie for best presentation on tik-tok (all shots centre framed aligned so everything can fit in a vertical screen when shared, even the slow scenes, so the excuse of doing so for editing purposes like Fury Road are moot). It's already well known that many movies are composing for Tik Tok now in order to best harness social platforms, but this one just feels even more obvious than usual.
  5. Born in Roncesvalles....and I eventually ended up moving back there in my adult life. Unfortunately I won't be attending the con this weekend, I often skip this 'smaller' one and just save up for the main fan expo later in the year.
  6. Yawn and Yikes! (also is he only getting his signature makeup for the final act? Seems like it is being put on just for the theatre)
  7. Yeah, 100% needs to drive there as transit would make it too painful a trek. Best hit up those inside the downtown core first.
  8. As a native Torontonian I actually have nothing but bad things to say about Paradise Comics...so it's a good thing it ain't on your map I would however recommend Gotham, and highly recommend you check out The Beguiling. Silver Snail is great as well though I honestly haven't been there since their last move so cannot say for certain (but they have always been a Toronto comic staple)
  9. Jim's a cool dude who you should certainly buy comics from. A+ highly recommended and I look forward to my next purchase.
  10. It is less about posting here to get Mike to notice and return the books and more about publically making it know who has been victimized, which spurs on more people to be vocal about it and also allow those who are currently doing legal action to easily find and message others in the same boat (since my centralized form is no longer active the boards are the single best place to find others)
  11. Mike only told me that he filed a police report. Whether that is true or false i have no idea, nor do i know anything else other than who the suspect is.
  12. His store, Cool Stuff, was apparently robbed back in January (I only found out recently though) and customer books were stolen (which ones and how many I do not know). He told me he filed a police report and shared security footage with me - at which point I NOPED right out of the conversation as it is now grand larceny and I am not getting involved in this growing mess further. I didn't post anything explicit about it since I was waiting for him to make an announcement or whatever, but that doesn't seem to be happening and so yeah, I guess might as well confirm it since a few other people also know at this point.
  13. Due to the situation of many customer books being stolen from Hero Restoration, and how that now involves the police, anyone who still has not received their property back should be considering what legal channels they can go through or contact. If Mike is still returning books, or is in contact with some customers, he needs to be more communicative and transparent about that here (and not just rely on customers to post on his behalf). You should still post here if Mike has not responded to you directly, as it is better than nothing.
  14. I've never had a page I've cut from a wrap come back as trimmed or qualified - maybe it's a possible risk, but for me personally it has never been an issue. I've cut my pages with a knife, so it was clean, but scissors will suffice. And yes, you can request how the page is facing. Be sure to include a sticky note attached to the bag/board of the page that specifies how you want it (not guaranteed they will do it though) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiLV6koOSWG/?img_index=1
