1950's war comics Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 2 hours ago, Mecha_Fantastic said: First off, no, it's been finished for quite some time now. Second, it was actually pretty darn good. Liefeld only did alternate covers, with top-quality art by at the time newcomer Jim Towe, and writing by Chad Bowers. Now, let's be honest, it'll never take off in the marketplace, but is that really a necessary criteria for judging whether or not it's a good read? Sometimes a fun book is just a fun book, and that's exactly what that Youngblood series is. Krep on Liefeld all you want. However, don't rubbish stuff you have absolutely zero clue about. There's enough misconceptions going around in the comic world, why add to it with your own ignorance? Woodgod is a running inside joke around here to a few of us and thank you, your reply reminds me why i seldom go to the modern section of these boards FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old_Man_Adam Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 As if it isn’t bad enough to rip off comic collectors , you have to rip off the insurance company too ? (Less sympathetic ) that guy sealed his own fate trying to sell to another LCS kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody cares that you like Youngblood My point wasn't that I like Youngblood, but that I find it harmful to automatically talk down on a book without knowing anything about it, when it happens to be good. I find that harmful for us as fans, regardless of what the book is. Nonetheless, if you feel it came out of nowhere, I accept that, and wholeheartedly apologise. tv horror 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bit that people reported him because he had pawned comics and visited other stores IN THE PAST. Pretty sure errbody up in here is guilty then. Now I hope the DNA evidence is irrefutable.

DavidTheDavid Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 But he gets to be that. He's not harming anyone. If people shop his stores, caveat emptor. If comic collectors can't tolerate a few weirdos in their world, they've probably picked the wrong hobby.
