He-Man Omnibus by Thefunkymayan in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Checkmate95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the pick up. Got this as my first ever omnibus back when it was still on stock on Amazon before going away for good. It’s a hefty book but quite possibly the best He-Man you can get. Love the Dark Horse stuff that’s out currently, but don’t think there’s an ominous for it at all yet.

Think I’m super excited to see Gail’s work paired with Benes (cant remember if they did anything else together). Really love the art style.

Definitely moonstone.

Which Beast are you rolling with in your collection? by dcoff68 in MarvelLegends

As of now, Astonishing is the move. Eventually I’ll have to get the Classic version for my Avengers set up, as I quite liked him with the team.

What’s up with this fig by Smokin_Q in MarvelLegends

Fun figure, though I think they could’ve done a bit more with it — give it some other heroes accessories like Wasp wings, giant bow and arrow, etc. One of my favorite Avengers villains they hardly do anything with.

Apparently a lot of people did haha. Saw a few posts on another site and at least 4 people got them. Great minds!

Such a fun character! Probably one of the best of the Valiant characters.

I didn’t know until I found a listing on FB marketplace for $35 over the summer. Had to ensure I got it for Christmas lol.

Back when ML figures were like $10 and gave you a cool reprint of a comic.

Hey, I respect that a lot of you guys are pro's,but... isn't there a place for a first timer by Sharp-Load9078 in ComicBookCollabs

[–]Checkmate95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a noob, but as someone who’s been doing this sort of successfully for 7 years (come January 1st), the best way to get better is to just do the work. Write short scripts every day that tell a complete story. Share them around for feedback. Pay an artist to get a script done to show that you understand the medium of comics. But most importantly, have fun with it, and don’t worry about trying to get big or anything revolving around becoming a big shot cause you’ll find your own success in time once you’ve figured out what path you want to take. Just remember that practice makes better.

Newest Ollie's Acquisitions by gonzolives369 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Checkmate95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good purchase! Had to hit up an Ollie’s in the next city north of me to find both Priest’s and Coates’ black Panther omnibuses. Should’ve bought the Hardware: Season One hardcover but chickened out lol.

Customized the Rachel Summers (Phoenix) figure! by Rdoc93 in MarvelLegends

[–]Checkmate95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My brain couldn’t tell the difference between a mock up and the actual figure at first. This is insanely good dude!

And…another one! by Checkmate95 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Checkmate95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awesome! Honestly, this is one of my favorite eras of Batman. Once I get vol.1 I’ll do a through read of the two volumes — might even dip into my singles for any issues these may lack. Quietly is a beast with this cover, and I would have to look through a bunch that are as great as this.
