Had the same reaction. Been in the market for a gray Hulk, but not down with this tiny head/no neck.

The book itself is well reviewed, but I'd just do this one for $15. https://a.co/d/bEopAsR -
Pull up a chair. Let's you and I have a discussion...

His Wolverine Limited and Daredevil were my introduction to comics in the early 80s. DKR is similarly one of my fondest memories from the 80s. Ronin was decent. I quit comics around the time of Sin City but the first few were decent. Either way, I'd say the answer is sometime in the 90s. When I came back to collecting in 2018 I immediately grabbed Absolute editions of DKR, DK Strikes Again, and Master Race. Promptly sold the latter two because I couldn't even bear to have them on the shelf. What works for me is just thinking of Miller strictly as 80s Miller. -

I'd say, aside from simply not completing the transaction, the behavior displayed in this thread is worth at least one of the lists. -

COMIC STORES 2023: 'IT'S NEARLY 2024 AND I'M MORE THAN CONCERNED'

COMIC STORES 2023: 'IT'S NEARLY 2024 AND I'M MORE THAN CONCERNED'
Poekaymon replied to Prince Namor's topic in Comics General
I wouldn't say it's as bad as the VCR, but yes. If things haven't run their course, then they are most probably in the final laps. My first "career" was in retail computer parts and repair. Started out as a tech at a small computer store, then manager, then I bought the place. That was early 1990s to around 2006. Sort of a golden age in home computing. Somewhere in the 2000s I saw the writing on the wall. For one thing, with the release of Windows XP in the early 2000s, Windows was just too damn good and easy to use. A lot of the stuff we charged to fix with Windows 95/98, Windows XP did automatically. Average users could even install it themselves. People started wanting to put in video cards and stuff themselves and things became literally plug-and-play. I also felt Macs would be picking up and they were too proprietary for us to deal with. The rise of online shopping, including not just parts but whole-PC sellers like Dell, online videos for support for free, more reliable stuff, online reviews of the bad stuff... It all told me that the hey day of the small retail computer store had passed. To illustrate the point, at the time I owned my store, my town had: 4 or 5 well-established, non-chain computer stores like mine, a couple of Radio Shacks, a Fry's Electronics, an Egghead Software, and a Best Buy. Today, that same town has... a Best Buy. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I certainly feel the pain of the LCS (as with small book sellers and many other brick and mortar shops). C'est la vie. I often joke with my wife that I'm going to open another computer store and she just rolls her eyes because we both know that it would have to be wholly subsidized by my day job. I sometimes follow up the joke with "Nevermind, those days are past... Maybe a comic book store." -

I can't even with this thread. I might have to use the ignore function for the first time not because someone was bothering me but simply for my own sanity. Anyway, John Carter sucked. It happens--they can't all be winners. Still like Disney though.
