Windows 98 posted:It is indeed a personal collection. I don't really ever plan on buying anything that would be worth a fortune in the future. If I was going to do that I'd buy an already CGC rated version of a high quality. I just like collecting Cool. My favorite comic buy was issue 51 of Hellblazer, it was in good condition. I don't think it was a particularly rare or sought after issue, but it (as near as I can tell) contains the first direct reference ever to John Constantine being bisexual. And at the time I got it wasn't in any Hellblazer trade.

My LCS has a Spider Man #1 (black and gold version) CGC 9.4 for $100 and I can't tell you how badly I want to buy that because I love the cover of that book.

When I was a kid I'd try to buy first appearance comics of characters I like or just fill out backissues of my favorite comics. I think I spent like $50 for the Sword of Azrael series because I liked him and liked Joe Quesada's art. That was a lot for a kid!

Silk is Mayday's real mother. If it were actually as huge as they're claiming then someone on 4Chan would have leaked it already, the guy leaks every major Spider-Man moment like that a day or two before. At best it will be a fakeout, at worst Slott will brutally murder a fan favorite and then pretend to be a victim when people don't like it.

I have to wonder how brain damaged you have to be in the age of piracy and internet access to think that controversy can generate comic book sales. I mean, sure, there's always that idiot who wants to own 10 copies of "the issue where Spider-man rapes a guy" because he thinks it'll be worth something in 20 years, but is that really a significant enough number to justify how Slott writes his books? E: Jesus Christ, I just realized Dan Slott's basically turned into Vince Russo. Lurdiak fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Jan 6, 2015 |

Slott thinks "Oh poo poo" and "rage" sells comics. It's his writing style. He's trying to make the dedicated fans so disgusted that they'll buy comics to rage. That doesn't really happen anymore, people just pirate it. Spider-Man and Batman are basically unsinkable, it doesn't matter who writes it or what happens, because they'll still be some of the best selling comics for both companies because of how recognizable they are.

It'll probably be something that looks horrible, then you wait five minutes and realize there's a way to rationalize it to not be horrible even though it's clear what the first impression will be and then it won't matter an issue afterwards. That's happened, like, four times this whole run only now we're giving BleedingCool clicks for some reason. I just want the next issue to Spider-man and the X-Men to come out...

I think I figured out Slott's endgame. Little Benjy, Mayday's younger brother is going to be flung back in time and become 616 Ben Parker. That's why they want him so badly. If they can destroy him, nobody teaches the "real" Peter about power & responsibility and thus destroying his history. .

It was an alright issue but a noticeable drop without Coipel around. More totem and prophecy nonsense but Punk Spider-Man vs Hammerhead was a nice visual gag and Miles and Friends adventures look fun. And Bleeding Cool's "big internet breaking nonsense" was just that they go to a post nuclear world as the Spider-People have slightly better resistance to the fallout and find that world's totem, who is Uncle Ben.

If the villians weren't so stupidly overpowered, Slott toned down the killings and wouldn't put a scene per issue (at least) of the Spidermen getting chumped this would be a good story. Hell, I'd pay good money for an ongoing of Spidermen team ups.
