Who win: Spiderman 2099 VS Batman Beyond?
wardevil0 replied to Great08's topic in Modern Age Comic Books
There was a Youtube deathmatch competition between these two several years ago... I suggest Miguel would escalate violence faster than Terry and win the first battle, but maybe not further fights. -
Is Spider-Boy a fan favorite or just spec hype?
wardevil0 replied to Shaun Hill's topic in Modern Age Comic Books
For the near term, it's speculator hype. This may bleed into actual fan appreciation, but it's hard to tell. Think of it like Spider-Gwen, whose early appearances were pushed by hype but now seems to be a legit fan favorite character (EoSV 2a in CGC 9.8 is ~$1k), relative to DC's Punchline (Batman 89a in CGC 9.8 is ~$120), who was pushed hard by spec hype but never really got enough of her own traction. It all depends on how Spider-Boy develops. Given the number of Spider-related characters relative to the number who have established themselves with lasting fan bases, it's unlikely Spider-Boy will be of any particular interest 10 years from now, which is what I would expect of a "fan favorite." -

No, I can confirm I don't have very many of this particular run, just a few. There may be some you need, I'll try to post a list/photo of what I've got.
-
Yeah, I've got a ton of miscellaneous Marvel and DC I'd love to move on. My lists are a decade out of date, but I could give you an estimate of titles over the next couple of days.

Wizard helped pre-Unity Valiant, Bone, Strangers in Paradise, Cry for Dawn, Hepcats, and more indies I can't remember get traction with kids who wouldn't otherwise have ever looked beyond the ever-expanding X-books.

Alrighty. I'm over 15,000 comics, mostly bought out of some misbegotten urge to fill a run or maintain loyalty to a title that wasn't really very interesting. Do what you want, but don't start a topic of discussion and act condescending to people who actually try to discuss it with you. I'd be glad to sell you some of my worthless drek for $3 each, guaranteed no fake.

It's going to be tough to get a lot of good responses, because the biggest barrier for you is shipping to Switzerland. Very few books from that era (95 to 261) are of any particular interest, #107 maybe, and so have been seen in discount bins for ages. With enough time and effort, you could probably get almost all of them for $2 each or less, but that doesn't help you get them to Switzerland. Basically, I'm saying you should also consider alternative costs for these issues. Do you think it's possible to get this many for this price or less? I spent a long time filling runs, like post-crisis Flash, Green Lantern, Detective, Batman, and today wish I hadn't wasted the effort. I'd rather have one $100 comic than 100 $1 comics. My vote would be, read the comics on a digital platform and ignore the bulk.

Most newsstands I've seen are the more eye-catching red, blue, or tri-colored...

Something of a minor key...

I was about 14 when Wizard came out, so those first few years, bagged with the prism border promo cards and posters of the cover art, were just ideal in that time and circumstance. Art competitions on the envelopes with gold Valiant comics as prizes! Wild speculation over the secret identity of the cover artist Wittman (it was an artist under exclusive contract at the time)! Top 10 lists, hot comics, so much to appeal to a teenage comic reader. From a more adult perspective, I can recognize the drive to generate faux excitement over constantly fluctuating prices contributed to the speculator boom-bust as much or more than anything else, and most of the articles about movie casting calls or upcoming projects turned out to be completely baseless, but still. At the time, Wizard really stoked excitement for comics.
