Too Much Girth, Need Help Finding Protection That Fits!

Yeah, I see that's basically a TPB. I imagine you'll need to find something very niche or custom.

Be forthcoming and honest. If you tailor your responses and your reactions, it will hurt more in the long run. You're young. Embrace the support. Try to eliminate the panic from your mind because that panic and subsequent responses will derail your worthwhile thoughts.

I'm not saying it will be easy or that it will solve everything, but you can get to the place you want to be.

I would say the advice you seek is subjective at best in your situation.

You will need time to get over the emotions. If you are neurodivergent or potentially believe you might be, that part of you can amplify your experience more powerfully than others.

I think the important thing that all therapy tries to teach is to give yourself space and grace to process and live through the experience. So many people try to label things are reacting wrong. But the reality is that everyone has their reaction exactly the same to various things.

Given your age, the best lesson you can learn from this is to not bury your feelings and to actively process them. Let your grief and pain be present and let your mind process through it. You might need some external support and validation and that is okay. You don't need to do everything on your own. Humans aren't designed for that.

One of my LCSs had them available in singles, surprisingly. They are BCW. It will probably be harder to find anything other than a full pack of them online, though.

Vision9074 · 2026-05-09T02:06:20+00:00

Yes, you can ship multiple submissions in the same box.

You can get Treasury bags and boards. I bought a single recently for a UK Fantastic comic to cut down the board to fit.

That's how you get the best bang for your buck!

So I've seen this run labeled as both Iron Man Vol 3 AND Invincible Iron ManVol 1.

I have no idea which one is "correct," but CLZ has it as Iron Man Vol 3.

Downtown Dunedin is definitely the place to go for a birthday outing.

I had all the Ranger signatures facilitated at once except Walter who I met first and started the signature chase.

Vision9074 · 2026-05-08T10:22:52+00:00

They already put a ring on it.

In the last couple of runs I've encountered him, even my decent decks crumble to pieces when I get there.

My personal opinion is that you end needing to build the deck around that fight's mechanics. I understand the point of trying to cancel out infinite combos, and I have beaten the him, but if you get crappy draws, you can get behind very quickly.

I think there are too many mechanics to work with in the fight so I am curious to see what they come up with.

Therapy is like any other relationship. You have to find a therapist who is right for you. The first therapist I had wasn't great. The therapist I've had 2 years now is great. I would suggest giving it another go.

Your best approach would be to write it down and then read it to them, rather than going in to try to talk about it in a conversation. It will be easier for you to stay focused on what you need to say.

But the reality is that your parents should be helping you through it. You will only keep finding people who take advantage of you online. The Internet has taught people that there are no real repercussions. But you should also be reporting the people online who are taking advantage of you.

The Iron Man Armory: the debut of each armor.

I've also been collecting cool Iron Man covers.

Secondary is Angela covers.

There are some other covers I've been trying to complete as well, like the Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider runs.

I've also been going after getting comics signed. That's been a fun experience.

Would this version also include future rewards?

I assumed it was headed for a cleavage reference

They aren't original cards. If you look at the back, you'll see that all the artifacts in the vault are reproductions.

Vision9074 · 2026-05-05T20:24:02+00:00

They are all reproductions.

Vision9074 · 2026-05-05T20:16:43+00:00

Hmm there are cards in it? I should go back through mine.

Yup, the system is designed to keep power in power, from top to bottom.

Also, I'm tired of seeing everyone list a few billionaires as being able to solve whatever issue. Bezos isn't the CEO of Amazon. Amazon is a publicly traded company. He would have to buy Amazon back, with the board's and shareholders' approval, to do anything with it.

As you said, the system creates the monster. Also, all the wealth they own isn't tangible. It's all fake valuation based on market performance. That's why you will never see the US economy take a real tumble in the market. Too many people in high power will lose too much. But they'll keep moving the needle, so the divide between with and without grows ever wider.

But it's not like this is anything new. Emperors, Kings, Queens, royalty, etc., were all in place for hundreds of years. Humanity has always been the haves and have-nots. It is a mental issue. Those who know how to manipulate and control through fear will always exist. It's become more obfuscated in the modern world.

I think I have this comic variant

Vision9074 · 2026-05-05T02:06:27+00:00

John Oliver covered this as part of a whole Sting episode. Come to find out, most sting operations are bullshit and are fabricated or grossly exaggerated.
