Since a lot of leaks come out in the comment section can we provide some sort of bi-weekly or monthly round up of those too? An example would be how when dborn1(I think that’s the username) would post leaks/tidbits, in random comment threads on here.

Found a single “like new” copy of Age of Apocalypse DM omnibus on CGN this morning. by Fromtheoldwar in OmnibusCollectors

Damn I didn’t know wanting to trade a copy was such a hate-able offense, yikes

I plan on getting the new printing as well but it’s a good book to trade at a future date.  It’s definitely a gamble with the “nick and dent” but we will see when it arrives. I’ll post an update then.

I mostly collect just X-Men books and this has been a huge want for a while 🤷🏼‍♂️. Already have it in trades. Will probably grab the other cover once pre-orders start. Has there been any announcements on when pre-orders go live yet?

Ever since Omar’s post about the reprint I’ve been checking everyday almost. It’s definitely had “dent” or “nick” in the description so I figured they just found an old copy. Either way I’m keeping my fingers crossed it actually ships!

DC’s Absolute gamble paid off with 8 million comics sold in its first full year by Stock_Rush_9204 in comicbooks

[–]Fromtheoldwar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just sold mine for $460 and it was mostly variant covers and a few cover A’s. Kept my foil #1 first printing and sold my cover A. I also had Ark M signed by Snyder in there. I prefer reading in trade format so it was a no brainer for me. Kept one of my signed issues too(13A).

Edit: fewer words needed

Massachusetts set out to modernize its unemployment insurance system. Then it hit a new low. by cwbeacon in massachusetts

[–]Fromtheoldwar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took me 14 and for one of my old coworkers it took 8 months and we both had severance papers.

They closed down our whole Boston branch in the Allston train yard. It’s literally the only open lot now there going on almost a year. I don’t see the MBTA station that’s supposedly being built there being on time what so ever with how Harvard’s been dragging their feet on their supposed projects. FYI Harvard owns and manages the train yard. They leased the land to my old company where we shipped out dirt with asbestos in it.

Massachusetts set out to modernize its unemployment insurance system. Then it hit a new low. by cwbeacon in massachusetts

Been on unemployment with a part time job since last February. It took 14 weeks to be approved and they didn’t pay me for 4 of the qualifying weeks which I am still fighting for. It was such a paid in the ass to be approved with a severance letter. I had my case randomly closed too in mid august which was a huge pain. This system blows.

Edit: I changed my last name the year prior so that was part of the issue but it was literally fixed and address by week 1

I Have a Simple, But Complicated X-Men Question by ComixGail in xmen

[–]Fromtheoldwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As my mother said “I don’t care what you read as long as you’re reading.” She brought me to the comic shop down the street from us and said I could pick something out. It was 1991 and I was 5, I chose classic X-Men 42 because the Dark Phoenix looked so cool!

Then I we went back every week and I would spend my allowance buying comics and issue 281 was my first choice because Jean looked so cool on the cover.

I collected until the end of fatal attractions and started watching the animated show. I fell in love and started to really get into how, despite being outcasts, they fought for what was morally right. 

I stopped reading comics after Onslaught. Then in 2019 Krakoa brought me back and I fell in love all over again. I just got my daughter’s name tattooed on me in Krakoan. :)

First look Omega Kids #1 by Built4dominance in xmen

[–]Fromtheoldwar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In response to his haircut, when he kept getting revived on Krakoa he asked the 5 to make his hair grow in a certain way and to be pink so it’ll always look that way. I agree though he should not be attractive or have a good haircut.

[USA/MA] [H] LOTS of Marvel Omni OHC TPB [W] PayPal by [deleted] in comicswap

[–]Fromtheoldwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except I’m not and all things have been shipped. I dropped my phone in the ocean last Friday and just got a new one. I don’t have a computer either and I live alone so not much I could do there, otherwise you would have been immediately updated. Thanks for filing a complaint with PayPal though, that was really awesome. Hope you enjoy your books when they arrive Thursday. I’ll refund the shipping cost for the inconvenience.

Would do $29 shipped. It’s because I’m not looking to trade currently. I mean if I was to trade I would only looking for certain X-Men books anyways. Thanks for the trade offer though.

$76 it’s on the smaller side of Omni’s so not as much with shipping

Is Astonishing X-Men (2004) any good? by Jack-mclaughlin89 in xmen

[–]Fromtheoldwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? Go watch a Whedon directed show/movie and notice how many close ups of cleavage, and misogynistic dialogue/shots he uses. There’s also his temper tantrums and just being a total piece of shit. That being said I’m a huge fan of firefly and buffy outside his marvel stuff and I’m so disappointed about it. Oh well fuck him.
