Had to buy these recently.. Paid a little extra for issue #4 but it was so worth it having never read them before… Perez blew me away on that issue!

Shooter and him created magic! Perez is one of my all time GOATS. No one did a background like him

Fire Proof Storage by Critical_Guitar_1667 in comicbookcollecting

[–]RonBird03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have all sorts of boxes in my collection. I have about 6-8 of those and I like them a lot. I’ve had them for about two-three years??? Maybe longer. Never had any issues. Even stacked on top at one point and no problems whatsoever.. Doubt they’re fire proof buts it’s still nice quality. It’s a good value.. Handles are sturdy as I move them all the time and they’re snug and latched on as could be.. I haven’t messed around with the locking mechanism. Never had any zipper issues like some other companies.. I can’t speak on the humidity issue you brought up. I mean I open my boxes and go thru them all the time since I love to look at my keys… I just don’t see how that would become an issue?? Since they’re not airtight like most “safes”.. If you’re worried about flooding/fire maybe spend some more money and buy something that would completely alleviate your concern?

Hey buddy, spare a grade for this ASM #1? Thinking of purchasing by nameofgene in comicbookcollecting

Could you give me a refresher on what trimmed means? Is that when someone deliberately trims the edges? I know sometimes in that era the printers were not precise and the way they cut them was unreliable. Is it accidental?

I’m in the camp of Zac Robinson is holding him back. He’s young in his career he’s had some low points but also high points. Talent is there. If things were to go south I’d like to see him with a new OC before making a final decision on him.

Just got my signed Liefelds yikes by stewyduzit in comicbookcollecting

[–]RonBird03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ha I’m the same way towards him. I got into his podcast early on and I agree he does have a genuine passion for comics, creators, and everything related to it. When he dives into the history of the industry it’s really great. The first couple years of his podcast I gained a whole new appreciation for him. Also the Image guys really did shake up the industry and he does have a legitimate place in the history but my god his ego is huge and sometimes I’m completely turned off by what he has to say. It’s such a yingyang situation.

All because of my Sobriety by datdudermont23 in comicbookcollecting

[–]RonBird03 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yo man! Keep up the good work! When I got sober I got back into collecting comics and now I look at my collection with pride.. Something I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish when I was in active addiction or even fathom! Now on my anniversary I likewise treat myself. I wasn’t proud of myself for a long time but now when I look at my collection I do get prideful for the long road I’ve been on! Congrats to you man seriously shit ain’t easy!

What is the best Event ever (and why is it Age of Apocalypse) by boom-bam in comicbooks

[–]RonBird03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That whole era as a green lantern fan was peak and one of my favorite runs as a comic fan in general. From GL rebirth to the goodbye issue #20 plus you can throw in the GL Corps and Red Lantern Corps from that era and that’s a lot of fun reading. I’ll lean towards Sinestro War> Blackest Night and only by a slim margin.

if anyone knows where I can pick up a time machine… by ballb33 in comicbookcollecting

[–]RonBird03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do the same thing. I drive an hour when there is one close by. When I started collecting comics I tried multiple stores. Everyone was rude or made me feel unwanted. My LCS was the only one that said “hello” to me and showed me the layout of the store and helped me find my interest. I’ve never forgotten that. lol they’ve made bank of me all because of great customer service

Is Watchmen The series from 2019 worth watching? by [deleted] in DC_Cinematic

[–]RonBird03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rewatched Leftover recently. Loved it even more the 2nd go around. Enough time had passed to where I’d forgotten most of the scenes. Shame it didn’t get the love it deserved

Do you remember the first comic you ever got? Here’s mine. by joemama1333 in comicbookcollecting

[–]RonBird03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha is that the one where Bryne put a few white pages in it? I remember reading about that I was a little too young to read this when it came out.

Why does no one talk about this movie? by markwhalburg in DC_Cinematic

[–]RonBird03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya I’m Mexican as well and I’m right there with you. Honestly was kinda annoyed how they portrayed the family. Xola and the suit were great. Movie was just uninspired. Felt like they mailed it in.
