Benito Cereno posted:The actual reason why Glomgold was made Scottish instead of South African was because Ducktales came out in the '80s and they did not want that apartheid stink on a Disney character. I mean the guy's a ruthless greedy villain, South African "white" business tycoon is exactly appropriate.

Yeah I suppose it's possible someone totally unrelated to Don Rosa put that sign down right next to him at his table at this con.

I think the new DuckTales cartoon looks like it'll be fun but after watching some of the more recent preview videos I feel like David Tennant sounds too young to be Scrooge.

You can tell the casting director of Ducktails '17 listens to Comedy Bang Bang. I bet the first suggestion for Scrooge was Paul F Tompkins.

Last time I saw Rosa, he had a sign saying he wouldn't sign the Boom reprints of Life and Times. I wonder what the story is there.

Yeah I never got the impression that Glomgold was Irish. The new one, who knows. He does have a green suit so maybe? I think he should be a Trump like trust baby. Also the big question is who should voice Darkwing Duck when he shows up. (And he must show up.)

I collect statues and stuff of a few specific characters. I had the idea of getting the first appearance issue for each of them to hang on the wall (since the wall space behind the shelves is just being wasted) but 2 of them are Cyclops and Green Arrow, so that's just not happening. Anyone recommend good issues to represent those two? And not you know, several thousand dollars. They don't actually have to be good comics.

X-Men (1992) #1 is certainly a good cover for Cyclops. Maybe Long Bow Hunters #1 for GA?

It's a mix of costumes anyway.. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check them all out when i get a chance. Edit: The other two I have right now are Canary and Emma (I think you see the theme here.) I got JLA #75 and the action figure cover of Uncanny 600 for those two. Emma's first appearance doesn't have her on the cover. Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Jun 19, 2017 |

For Green Arrow, I'm assuming this is for Ollie? Either Green Lantern/Green Arrow 76 Green Arrow 10, 12, or 15 (all from Volume 3)

Rhyno posted:Today I got sucked into a multi-customer discussion/argument about Gwenpool and Spider-Gwen and how they are or are not the same person.  Context, because the context is awesome: Gwen has run into Deadpool but has been thrashing him because it's her book and he's just guest-starring, but when he realizes that Gwen's a fouth-wall breaker too he starts fighting her on a purely meta level and kicking her rear end with literal popularity power. Unbelievable Gwenpool does a lot of really fun stuff with its premise.

Yeah, Spider-Gwen was a huge hit so they did a Gwen month of variant covers, and Gwenpool turned out to be ridiculously popular with cosplayers basically immediately, so Marvel figured they had something there and made an actual Gwenpool ongoing. I'm actually super interested in cosplay becoming an emerging force in the fandom, we've gone from stuff like new costumes being designed with ease of cosplay in mind (Batgirl's new costume had explicit notes about it) to entirely new characters being created. It's a heck of a thing.

What about Kevin Smith's Green Arrow #1, with the close-up cover by Matt Wagner? (I happen to have a copy of this to sell, if you'd be interested.) That way, it could go with all of Ollie's different costumes over the decades.

Cyclops:  Green Arrow:  Just print them off and get them signed. Better than comic covers!
