A cruel, goldskinned warrior with glowing red eyes wearing pseudo-medieval nobleman garb leading a pack of demon dogs could look cool as hell if done right. It's certainly better than the lovely "skinny HR Geiger meets Transformers" look the DC movies Apokolips stuff seems to have. Like is Virman Vundabar gonna look like the Cloverfield monster?

Guys that was a Steppenwolf image from a Mother Box. I would be surprised if he looks exactly like that in the movie. He's obviously wearing a helmet.

I really thought it was Steppenwulf, because Kirby loved to do the weird semi-mispellings for Apokalips stuff, up to and including the planet itself. I learned something today!

Since they now have an actor for Steppenwolf, his look will probably be very different. Even if they go the Loki route and just have Mance Raider walk around in human form and only summon his armour for a fight at the end.

Howdy folks my name is Avian Pneumonia and MY GIRLFRIEND just inherited a bunch of comic books from her father who recently died. Thing is that these comics include a bunch of really valuable comics? The photos she's sent me include an Archie comics #1, Archie's Girls: Betty and Veronica #1, and Archie's Pal: Jughead #1. I know not much more than the average early 30s American about comics and I know NOTHING about the process for determining the value and selling such things. What the hell should we do? We first need to get them graded by a professional but there are different organizations? And then where to sell it? I've been ripped off on ebay before and am cautioning against it but I'm also weary of some of the auction houses that are being mentioned as I'd imagine they'd take a big cut. Help? Is this even the right thread? Apologies if there's a better spot for this to be.

If you want them graded, CGC is pretty much the only option worth bothering with. As for selling, ebay is probably your best option, despite its issues. Just make sure to document everything you do.

The Betty and Veronica is already listed on eBay so I'm not sure what your game plan is. http://m.ebay.com/itm/263051927734 The writing on the cover is identical as are the spine creases around the staple by the V and by the A. The first thing you did was list them on eBay despite saying you don't want to use eBay? I've been ripped off too, but I don't have a 4700 rating either.

Don't grade anything unless you have a rough idea of what the grade is and the value after grading. There's a lot of comics that are valuable but you almost end up losing money because of the grading. I usually estimate it's about 40-60 all said when grading books (including grading, return shipping and I usually pay the extra $10 for rush) for a blue label (standard grading). If a 9.8 sells for $100 on ebay, chances are very low I'd make that money back if I sold. Plus, you're talking probably 2-3 month on the fast end w/o your book so keep that in mind. For judging how much a book is worth, ebay's the best way to go. Just look and see what the average is for actually sold book. No one cares if it was listed for $1000 if it only ever sells for $200. And unless you're gonna sell them to a local shop (which will get you probably 60% of the value on the high end), ebay is the best way to go. You can do a real auction house (comic connect, heritage) if you think the book is really worth something good but for fast turn around, ebay can't be beat, despite issues.

My parents are moving, so I went to pack up what of my crap I had left there. My dad told me to take the boxes of comics he had collected in his youth as he had to clear the space, and my brother and I had grown up reading them anyways so they were pretty beat to poo poo by now. I hadn't looked at those boxes for a good 16 years at least though, so it was pretty fun to dig through one of them this evening and see what was there. It was a combination of Dad's old comics, 80s Gladstone comics from when I was a little fellow and other 90s detritus that had collected from the time I had grown up. I pulled out a few gems to take some snaps of this evening. First off, some kracking Kirby kovers:     I guess the old man wasn't keen on Don Rickles?   poo poo drat     Wish the cover was still on this one, bummer And some other oddities and delights:  The Ten-Eyed Man has a place in my heart  hell yeah Prez  70s post-apocalypse was so dope, Killraven as well  Not much to say on this one   yeah Stingray  Boomerang's costume was mad goofy  Kubert cover, Kirby interiors  Not a 70s comic, but drat what an issue  yeahhhh  Those old Spectre comics were so great- people just getting hosed up left and right in horrifying ways. I didn't flip throught it, but if memory serves a criminal hairdresser gets cut in half by giant scissors  Last seen in Nextwave, I believe  Weird Worlds was such a great, if schizophrenic book.  SUDDEN-DEATH SHOWDOWN  RIP Captain Stacy  Neal Adams' X-Men were really something else  They were talking about Tiger Shark in the Marvel Handbooks thread and it reminded me of him  Iron Man vs Commie Iron Men (and the Crimson Dynamo is such an amazing name)   My favourite Wonder Woman And of course, the answer to the world's problems:

Thanks for sharing those. I love getting looks at old comics and it makes me wish I still had my brothers old comics. I like to think that in 20 odd years my kids would be posting my comics on some dead forum.

I was re-reading Final Frontier on Tom Scioli's site and I saw that he answered someone in the comments when asked who his favorite hero and villain were.Tom Scioli posted:Favorite hero: Orion. Favorite villain: Darkseid. That is like the perfect answer coming from a guy who's such an obvious Kirby fanboy.

I know it's probably not the popular choice, but I think Final Frontier is my favorite Scioli comic. Admittedly, I haven't read all of GI Joe/Transformers yet.

American Barbarian is so good, but I'll grant Final Frontier a close second. I haven't read GI Joe/Transformers or Gødland yet, though. Everything I see about GI Joe/Transformers looks completely insane, though.

Or rather, the arc was (is???) titled Betty RIP, but they didn't say she'd die. It's Afterlife though so even Archie dying would be fair game. A new issue of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is coming out next month so I'm holding out hope that we'll see another issue of Afterlife in our lifetime. X-O posted:Mark Waid specifically said in an interview he wasn't killing anyone. So I think they're just hyping it to hype it. They're gonna kill her for real and then Jughead gets recruited into the Time Police and saves her in the Jughead comic
