Another stellar season.  I never read the books, are they flying without a net at this point?  Or are they still following the books?

Way off the books

Two people cannot have a different opinion in comics. Never happens. 

Can you imagine how boring this place would be.

First one was a classic, but by the time 2 came out he became the Sherlock for this generation.

so A game of Shadows got compared to Sherlock making it seem worse than what it was.

 

+1

Though I really enjoyed the movies and am most definitely going to see the third.

I wouldn’t doubt it actually. He’s a powerhouse performer. His son is talented too. I’m from Des Moines IA so I’ve met Corey and his son and a couple other band mates. Love how big of a comic nerd Corey is. 

So very jealous, meeting him is a bucket list thing for me.

Sorry for temporarily derailing the thread

Greg Capullo and Corey MF Taylor? I’d be all over that book! Wish he would do more comics. Maybe in 5-10 years when he’s done with music. 

I spoke/babbled to Mr Capullo at a con last year and asked if he would ever do anything with Corey Taylor, he seemed keen on the idea. Just gotta get them in the same room.... And I don't think Taylor will retire from music, he will still be bouncing around on stage at 80.

Not sure if this counts. I would absolutely set up a meet and greet with Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman and have them sign my favorite work by each (V for Vendetta 1 - Cgc SS 9.8 or higher would be my 1 comic to own - and Good Omens). The books aren't super expensive - I own both, unsigned - but bribing them to do a private meet and greet and signing would not be cheap. Really, I just want to babble with them.

My second choice would be a meet and greet with Greg Capullo and Corey Taylor so I can convince them to do a comic together (with a new accompanying Stone Sour album). Then that would be my one comic to own.

Sorry, now back to your regularly scheduled Supermans and Batmans.

Welp, only lost by 4, so not completely embarrassing. Well played and good luck @RockMyAmadeus 

Big thanks to @BlowUpTheMoon for hosting and @sckao and all others who helped 

Grades in. I just hope to keep the match close against RMA, but I have a feeling it will be more Globetrotters vs Generals (which is to say I will be blaming my loss on the talent of my opponent, not my incredibly inept grading skills, when really, it's both). 

I'm excited for Neal Adams and Gerry Conway. I bought XMen 56 to get signed by Adams and will probably buy XMen 65 to get signed by both (I imagine the signatures get expensive fast with those guys and the CGC tax they add, so I'm trying to limit myself).

Also excited for Summer Glau, because Firefly is amazing. Might have her sign the new Firefly 1 comic. My gf is excited for Donna (her favorite Dr Who companion, and my least favorite) and Captain Jack (I liked Torchwood), so I think I'll get her a pic with both.

I'm hoping for more announcements soon. Come on Phoenix whatever-you-call-yourself-this-year, don't disappoint.

Welcome to the boards. That's a very nice start to a collection, with grails some people can only dream of owning. Most folks on here are very knowledgeable, don't hesitate to ask questions. Searching previous posts is great too, lots of good stuff has already be discussed. Good luck to you in your collecting goals and hopefully you meet some cool people on here

When the CCS invoice is emailed to you...  does that mean they've finished pressing and heading to grading?

From what I can tell, it means the book has been received but is not yet pressed. You'll still have a bit before it heads back to CGC.

I'm in, please. Thanks!
