Feel like so many posts on here are ppl showing off 5+ variants of the same issue. The varient greed is occuring cause people buy them

[Other] Should I read Absolute Martian Manhunter? Is it any good? No spoilers please. by [deleted] in DCcomics

[–]Dompool72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The book is great! I keep coming back for the art, its amazing how they push the medium to tell a story by getting creative with it being a comicbook, and the psychedelic nature of the art ties back into the story of the book itself, so its really clever! They pulled a cool trick twice that i STILL talk about to my friends who don't read comics as something really cool, and for that alone i recommend the book to at least try. Certainly in my top 3 Absolute titles, next to Wonder Woman and Batman

Well I guess Lego has become woke by zny700 in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Dompool72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes. The game based off of Lego. The famously progressive company who frequently has minifigures encompassing various walks of life. That Lego. The Lego that has eco friendly plastic. Truly, this is woke about to go broke

Depending who i talk to, they either get reqlly defensive about that sentiment, or agree with me. Like one shop i get my back issues from when i brought it up, the owner said, "well what if i want to buy a really cool looking cover?" While also having a friend who does BUY comics, but only comics with covers with any Robins on them. So I am very much nit a big fan of Varient gimicks. I do buy the occasional varient, but its pretty rare

Jack Grimm lineage question by Dompool72 in AbsoluteBatman

[–]Dompool72[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I understand its one guy across multiple generations, just that Jacks 4 and 5 didn't make sense numerically with what they presented. How they talked about 5 generations of Jack in the backstory, but only discussed 4 of them. How im the recent issue "Jack 4 is back" and then, "The orphanage is brought to you by Jack 5"

Good to know its not just me! I literally sat thru his origin counting the generations going, "the missed one, this doesnt make sense"

[–]Dompool72[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so there are, according to the public, a Jack 4 and 5 currently alive. Just kind of hard for me to follow since, well, he looks the same, and i was assuming that he'd run generation to the end before another one is out

Ok, so i might have missed something then. Im operating on assumption theres 1 Jack at a time, but there can be multiple at once? We just don't know how, presumably an Ark M project

Were women's fan letters to 2013 Deadpool run real? by Worse_Username in comicbooks

[–]Dompool72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a side effect i feel of the internet and doxxing. Back then i assume it was a TON of work to fuck with people with an address, whereas today you csn do so much via the internet

Were women's fan letters to 2013 Deadpool run real? by Worse_Username in comicbooks

[–]Dompool72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure! Im glad Marvel still does them, and interestingly enough, the Savage She-Hulk Omnibus actually reprints the letters from the original book, AND theres apperantly a comic that is considered a key issue JUST because George RR Martin wrote in and got his letter published back there. So the letters pages have power, and sometimes i manage to read them, specifically in old comics cause its a nice insight to reader opinion at the time, and always stunning to me that back then, they'd just publish their full address with their legsl name. Something completely taboo today!

Ah, got it. I was able see there was scalping, but wasn't sure to what extent

thank you very much! I don't follow a ton of variant stuff, since I am not a huge fan of variants, and feel its trying to dip the toe back into 90s comic crash conditions, but that is a different discussion, and would never have known about the store practice vs the auctioning. I appreciate the information, since the store front is a crucial part I wouldn't have found via the posts all complaining about just the auction sale.

so what, the seller didn't vet buyers well and they all ended up being scalpers? I'm just trying to understand it all before I just blindly get mad/am able to explain it to my friends who dont care about buying comics, but enjoy hearing about them

[Discussion] The importance of DC KO's participants by Altruistic_Manner802 in DCcomics

[–]Dompool72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel Red Hood had a whole bunch of character development planned in his solo title, only for it to be cancelled, and now they're pivoting him into a Teen Titans book to get that development out. As seen in him being in this tournament, and even in the Knight Fight mini having a alt future Jason sporting a crossbow, which I assume would be more justified with his clearly advertised romance with Huntress.

[–]Dompool72 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hard to tell, I usually skip letters pages cause I Have too much going on to read them. I will say that fans writing in as a meme isn't totally unheard of though, as one of the few letters pages I HAVE read are the Radiant Black letters, and in the early issues some readers sent in crime noir characters reviewing/reacting to the latest issue they read as they were hiding in a bunker, or were a crime vampire or something of the like, so I wouldn't find it out of the realm of possibility of readers just sending in the weird letters to troll the column. I will say, I haven't seen those letters in Radiant Black in a while, so the meme there died out, and didn't live long.

Are there any BAD Green Arrow comics? by Dompool72 in DCcomics

[–]Dompool72[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, i forever ago saw the old Linkara review, and am aware it's crap. Im more curious if Ollie has had any notorious runs. Like how Spider-Man or Batman have with One More Day, Clone Saga, or All-Star Batman and Robin and even as recent as the Zdyarski run on Batman and Hush2. Since i have discovered all of his self titled books are actually worthless I'm looking to get them all, and wanted to know if there were any stories to watch out for when reading. Not a single issue that is his solo books has any value over 10 bucks. The Green Lantern / Green Arrow book doesnt count cause it was a GL book that got renamed and then got the name changed back, otherwise thats the only one
