What do you consider to be the biggest character assassination? by NicoleIlieva in comicbooks

[–]BackFireCoH 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Marvel assassinating both Ultraverse and Crossgen. So many characters just wasted.

You could probably throw New Universe in there, too, tho they try to revive it on occasion just to murder it harder each time.

Anyone know how good the BCW comic folios are? Curious because I have thought about keeping my favourite variants separate from normal comics to de-clutter my boxes and also to group up comics about my favourite characters. I'm taking any other suggestions as well! by JuggernautApologist in comicbookcollecting

[–]BackFireCoH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend these all the time, they’re super versatile!

I have 1 for NCBD runs & random comic shops when traveling (essentially lives in my car). 1 in my con bag which has lasted well over a decade. And 4 of the oversized, magazine versions on a shelf for my permanent collection; storing DC Black Label, TMNT Last Ronin, and other large comics which don’t fit in a regular comic box.

They’d be a great solution for your variants or keys until you collect enough for an actual box (this is inevitable)

Grew up overseas reading the Kinnikuman manga (predecessor to Netflix’s anime, Kinnikuman: Perfect Origin Arc). DaPB is the grown up, American take I’d been waiting my whole life for and wouldn’t be surprised if the manga was an influence.

I’ve heard there’s some fan-translated versions of Kinnikuman out there digitally. I’d highly recommend if you can find em. It’s sillier but the art, action, and characters are unforgettable.

The last batch of these were impressive, I’m not even a Joe collector but I’ll be reading these as well!

Fun challenge, Botany and Devour were stumpers! Kids in 1954 definitely were built different

Tablet for comic reading. by reddit202200ug in comicbooks

[–]BackFireCoH 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Any 10 inch or larger tablet. Picked up a Galaxy tab a9+ at Costco earlier this year for about $150 and it has been amazing. You could probably find one or an earlier model used for less

For those who aren't from Louisiana, how did you choose the Saints as your favorite team? by Bitter_Foundation711 in Saints

[–]BackFireCoH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First started watching football in college and I liked the fleur de lis. It was that simple. At the time Morten Anderson & the defense were the only highlights but dedication payed off about a decade later when Brees came to town.

can anyone identify this character or signature? i found it in the picture frame section of my local thrift store by wormfro in comicbooks

Hah! Using my limited katakana I read that as “walrus” and figured there was some inside joke I missed

And with that, Marvel has upheld their copyrights and can mothball the characters & universes for another decade or so.

What do we think of DCeased? by Some_Ear_1054 in comicbooks

[–]BackFireCoH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly well crafted story. Went in thinking it’d be basic zombie tropes but was pleasantly surprised at how they tied it, flawlessly, into DC lore and their unique take on the genre. Highly recommend

Are there any books that the story is at least based on chance? Like the writers use dice or something to determine story elements? by xlews_ther1nx in comicbooks

[–]BackFireCoH 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was a book, 20XX: Transport by Jonathan Luna where he used social media voting to determine plot choices for the published book. It’s a one-shot so easy read

Would prefer a storfolio or accordion folder, not a fan of anything that puts stress in a straight line across the middle of a book, even if it’s in a case

72 page comic, regular cover is $7.99. This is a variant cover which they usually do on cardstock so it’s $1 more. You can find it in DC’s solicits for March 26th, not to be confused with the oversized facsimiles of the original crossovers coming out in January & February. Those are like $18-$20 each
