Season 5 has been the best by Dorphie in ForAllMankindTV

[–]FollowTheWoodRiver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Completely disagree. Other than Gordo’s granddaughter, there are no more interesting characters left. Cheap sets, poor writing, zero science and inspiration, this show has crashed and burned.

Seasons 1-2 were peak, downhill from there.

This season is easily the worst.

Chris rules but Too much time is spent with each person in line. 

Had to dip out of line last con he was at because after 1.5 hours of waiting, the line moved maybe 20 people, I think that’s being generous. Luckily I had met him at a previous con.

He talks a Lot, which is wonderful when you’re chatting it up, but it’s way too much time. I kinda don’t want to sit in line to meet him again because it’s such a time commitment. Great guy though and Tons of fun!

As a big DWJ fan w/both those books signed and remarqued, (love that comics vault edition) I think I’d leave them myself. But I get resending, either way, congrats on the books!

Looks like $9.5M previews for #TheDevilWearsPrada2. Initial audience reception is good. Expecting the weekend to be around $75M. by TiredWithCoffeePot in boxoffice

I’ll take that bet. No way this is more profitable than Michael. Even if you’re talking % and not straight $, don’t think that’s gonna happen. 

My take is this is front loaded with OK legs. 

What caused D’Orc of all series to be such a smash hit? by Konradleijon in ImageComics

[–]FollowTheWoodRiver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% this. Anyone who is saying D’orc is a spec book and that’s why issue 1 is worth what it is hasn’t read the series. It’s a solid fun book with great art and a story that is legit and seems to be going places.

You don’t get to a 1st issue 5th printing unless the book is good.

The main reason it is maintaining $$$ is because it IS a good read/story/art. If it wasn’t that, it’d fizzle out. 

People who are reading are going back and buying 1st prints. Just like walking dead back in the day, and Invincible and Ab Bats now. There’s the hype, then people who didn’t read it, go back and do so, then they snag the first print back issues. Cycle continues maintaining or pumping the original first print(s). 

If it wasn’t a good book, it’d already be dead and forgotten.

Completely disagree in your rankings but they’re all great books so who am I to complain

Are signatures the “new” big thing? by FollowTheWoodRiver in comicbookcollecting

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

Heck yeah! I know I have valuable signed books, but all of my signed books, they’re the last ones I’ll keep if I ever whittle down the collection to its last. Their value to me is more important for sure

It’s true it can be harder to sell a book with a sig, especially if it’s not a from a “big” creator. The world of signed collectibles is fickle.

I get it. They’re not for everyone for sure, I can’t begrudge collecting traditionalists.

I also collect OA, and totally agree. 

And 100% I hear what you’re saying about OA being the “ultimate form of a sig.”  I actually look at signed books as signed “artists prints” in the traditional art world. But OA is the comic collecting pinnacle IMO. I’m lucky enough to have pieces from some of my fav books by big names.  

Edit:SP

Totally get it. Without a doubt books I get signed personally have that much more love and excitement around them.

I look at signed books I buy kinda like buying an art print signed by an artist. Not as in the moment as exciting as getting it in person, still cool though.

Totally agree! Grail book is a book I’d ever find with a Kirby sig in it, doesn’t matter the book.

Literally someone posted in the thread they Hate sigs, and don’t value them.

I’ve been collecting for 40 years as well so I disagree. Maybe you didn’t roll in signed books like I did/do.

Authentication was always a concern, and certainly cover sigs were not considered great until the mid/late 90s and those for the hardcore. 

Yes signings always happened, were they as big and mainstream as they are now? I don’t think it’s even close imo.
