BabaLament Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 @F For Fake I love the DHC Aliens/Predator/Terminator runs, though I think NOW had an interesting take on Terminator IP. I put the entire 1992 Kenner Toys DHC mini-comic set on slab from Dallas; very tempted to do the Crossover on those since the rest of my Aliens stuff will be on CGC slab, and my OCD demands uniformity. However, they were pricey little buggers, since they required special pressing. Even though I'm less than thrilled with the service (or lack thereof) from Dallas, I still have great respect for Mr. Rickets work in the pressing shop; he turned those rolled out mini-books into something special. I also love the minis for being unique; they have never been reprinted or collected in the DHC Aliens Omnibus series. The future for Aliens/Predator/Terminator material doesn't look particularly good. Bob Iger (Disney) said recently that the 20th Century Fox/Disney deal will finish up around the end of January, but that he isn't going to produce some of the more violent Fox IP. He specifically called out the Aliens & Predator franchises as being DOA on arrival at Disney, aside from work that is already in production and paid for. From what's out there, it looks like he's referring to finishing up Ridley Scott's prequel trilogy, promotional funds for the upcoming Terminator movie, the couple of Alien(s) video games that are almost out of development, etc.. Mr Iger also said that future Terminator projects are problematic due to the IP rights being split several ways. Since they pulled the Star Wars IP from DHC after the Lucasfilm buyout, I'm assuming the worst & preparing for DHC to lose the Aliens/Predator rights as well. If Disney does decide to farm out the publishing rights, I'm wagering they'll go to IDW, who already handle some of the Disney IP; but I seriously doubt Aliens or Predator will find themselves in house at Marvel. My opinion; I would love to be wrong. FoggyNelson and F For Fake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabaLament Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 @batmiesta Nice collection of books! I also think its hilarious that the Marvel books were once published by Warner. Oh how times change. batmiesta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BabaLament Posted December 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2018 The final batch of my initial CGC submission came home today! Overall, thrilled with how my books came out. Very happy with the level of professionalism from Customer Service in answering some of my questions, the TAT's; just everything involved worked out nicely. Almost have my next box of books ready to send in; still waiting on some last minute holdouts. A set of First Series Punisher (1986). I love how they couldn't decide on it being a four issue or five issue limited series. I also appreciate the re-use of the art throughout the Punisher runs; how book four of series one became book one of series two, etc. Book three, the shot-out target, is another one of my favorite later-issue Punisher cover swipes. A Skottie Young signed side-by-side; I love the chibi/Funko Pop style he does. I think they're fun. McFarlane goodness. 'Nuff said. Spectacular Spider-Man #90. Not in the greatest of shape, but that's ok. Not everyone can afford 9.8's, and its still a nice book. Spider-Man 2099 #1, second printing, included w/ ToyBiz Spider-Man 2099 toy. I taped a magnet to the back of the toy display, and it's hanging off the side of my PC chassis. Uncanny X-Men & The New Teen Titans #1. This is one of my best friend's favorite books. I assume it will take up residence on his office wall shortly after his birthday. X-Men Gold Annual #2. This was written by Seanan McGuire, who is a fantastic author. Anyone who enjoys zombie goodness, check out the work under her pseudonym, Mira Grant.

Long point I'm about to say recently @valiantman made a point in the most graded total of Universal Blue label from CGC in 2018: IH #181 8.0 is the most slabbed grade for that book, it still ranks 141st over all books now that 2018 is over though even at over 10,000 slabbed IH 181's I had saved $1850 for an 8.0 in September of 2017, I thought I might be able to squeeze into an 8.5 but then it took it's most recent (that I noticed) hike, and I had to settle for a 7.5 from Dale Roberts..... (want to trade? ) it is still my grail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
