The most popular and well known version of the character died on screen last summer so its not like anyone is clamoring for her to really return.

Die Laughing posted:You're right. I do hope there's always a young Spider-Man because when I was a teenager I found high school student Peter more relatable than high school teacher Peter.heroes. I felt the same way but in 2001, when JMS made him a HS teacher it rekindled my like of the character because I was in school to do the same thing.

Boogaleeboo posted:Making Wolverine into a grimdark teenage girl was just making text the subtext hanging around him for years. The reason he hangs around with young girls so much isn't some mentoring older figure thing, nor is it him creeping, it's that those are his people. Daniel Way said that the only reason X-23 existed was to give guys an excuse to jerk off to Wolverine in a "not homo way."

Codependent Poster posted:Hopeless has some things that really annoy me. Like last issue when he had an actual female character say they weren't going to be fridged. It was a terrible line and he's super clumsy with his 4th wall poo poo. I wish he would avoid that and just write. I really enjoyed his X-Men Season One graphic novel. Holy poo poo, in Spider-woman #4?

You can't give Slott too much credit for Flash as Venom. I mean they'd just come off a multi-year arc with Mac Gargin in the suit. Going back to Eddie would have been predictable.

Lurdiak posted:Flash as Venom could have been loving horrible, it's not an idea that's inherently good. It was made good by a talented writer. By talented writer you forget to mention that it wasn't Dan Slott. Look at Silk. Silk has been terrible in all her Slott written appearances but her first issue was absolutely fantastic.

Lurdiak posted:That's sloppy book-keeping! At least you got a neat comic out of it. If they used a credit card, legally they're supposed to contact the buyer and tell them they bought stolen goods. I've been through this a few times. I have a pretty great customer who only pays cash because he once bought stolen comics and in the end the police seized them as he received stolen goods and he never got his cash back. Ever since he's cash only.

WickedHate posted:The store isn't required to refund him in that case? I'm not saying you're in charge of that and at fault if it was at your place, but just in general, but I'd thought there'd be laws or whatever in place to help people who buy stolen goods and compensate them. In some cases. I believe in Indiana it's governed under pawn laws which get weird. Technically if you pay cash for anything you have to hold a pawn license but they don't really police it. The last time this happened I bought three boxes of comics, mostly decent 70-80's Marvel stuff. I think I paid out $150. Nothing seemed off about the guy at all, we took the books and gave him cash, just wrote his name in the log book. When word got around that a collection had been stolen I realized part of it was what I had purchased. But we'd already sold almost all of it. The owner wanted his books back, not cash so his insurance actually ended up taking care of it and since it was petty on our end we didn't pay anything, we just surrendered the remaining books back to him. We don't take the names of everyone who buys back issues and to avoid stupid things like inventory I have two barcodes for old comics so it's actually kind of a huge headache to trace purchases to customers even with credit cards. And in case anyone is curious about what I mean about the barcodes, When I put a book into back issues, it is removed from our regular inventory and I place a printed barcode that reads MISC22 on it. This is my back issue code. Every back issue gets one and they are all $1.00 each. That way it's very easy to just count by the box instead of checking every physical books. For high dollar books I put a code on the back that reads CBBIN which is "comic book back issue of note." We don't do a lot with high dollar stuff, I usually pass it along to a few specific customers right away but it's still easier to keep them all the same code with adjustable pricing. Whoa shop talk.

WickedHate posted:It's cool when you post about this stuff, you have interesting experience. There isn't really any "comic book shops" around here, just places that also stock comics, so it's all foreign to me. I should just stick to this stuff, any time I branch into other things it just ends badly.

Silk is definitely the best of the three Spider-Lady ongoings right now and I never once expected that to be something I thought. Especially considering her appearances in ASM to date.

TheJoker138 posted:I remember a lot of people being really upset that Bendis killed Hawkeye. I also remember being really confused by that because Hawkeye was lame and who cares. Now if they killed Hawkeye I'd be really upset. You're remembering correctly. Bendis has a lot to do with the upswing in his popularity. People were super excited when he came back and became Ronin, and later when he and Mockingbird were back together the reaction from fans was overwhelmingly positive.

SalTheBard posted:Just an FYI to anyone interested, Edge of Spiderverse #2 (first appearance of Spider-Gwen) is going for between $85 and $100. The variant cover I believe is going to for 200 to 300. Pretty loving crazy. It's easily the most valuable book I own. It blows my mind. I let a complete set of the variants for for $175 a few months ago. I knew I should have waited. I do intend to get my EoS #2 graded shortly, hoping to cash in a bit.

Skwirl posted:Technically, the entire multiverse has died, so if they brought it back now they weren't actually lying (Steve Rodgers and a bunch of other people died who were still around before Secret Wars had died and came back). I would say part of the reason for this was to not eliminate alternate universe poo poo, but try and defocus it, but I thought half the point of Age of Ultron was to cut down on time travel shenanigans, but then it seemed like everyone was doubling down on the time travel poo poo after that, including Hickman. Nobody cared about AoU, not even Marvel editorial.
