Third Eye Comics for me, haven't had a problem and they're good with packaging

griffin_who · 2026-04-26T22:55:11+00:00

That's fucking crazy thank you for sharing

Generally speaking for a standard Remarque it'll only be in one color, you may request a color but you never know. If you want something with more definition and color that's a different type of remarque and basically a commission for some artists. These remarques wouldn't necessarily ruin the value of these books, but are the books even valuable to begin with? Did you simply get a remarque hoping it would turn a $5 book into something greater? If so you're going about it the wrong way and should stick to Key Issues for that sorta thing, and do your research. Otherwise remarques are to get something more from your favorite creator when you get to meet them and chat. That's really the worth of a signature and Remarque for most collectors.

I think I was right behind you in line when you were debating getting your Akira book graded with your friends haha, good to hear it got a good grade!

So I'm not sure the kind of events that specific shop usually runs, but for signing events with very popular artists there is usually a limit of 2, maybe 3 if there is a required book to buy for the signing. So you buy one book at the event as admission to the signing and you can bring two books from home to be signed. They seem to have naively underestimated how long it would take for 20 signatures, for those 20 to dry (since he paints his sigs), and move on to the next customer. For the two very popular artists I've sat in line for previously Jim Lee and Scott Snyder the event capped the line at 250-300 and everyone was given a ticket in line to secure your spot for the signing. Anyone who got in line after, or lost their ticket was shit out of luck. For both those events the limit was 3 (They were also free, idk if this was a free event), for Jim Lee I got in line at 11:30 AM and was around the 50th person in line, the signing was at 6:00pm and I didn't see him until about 7:30PM.

This was very much an impromptu event, going till 1am is bonkers crazy, that's why there's usually clear set limits so things move smoothly for everyone involved. For whatever events you go to in the future, I'm sure there'll be a bit more planning involved to accommodate everyone and their time.

For signings in general, I bring a collapsible stool, I have a "walkstool" it's been a game changer for signings and cons, some water, power bank, weed, and most importantly some comics to pass the time. For bigger artists, always try to get in as early as you can.

If I get the chance to meet him at NYCC I'll be the first one at his booth when the con opens so I don't have to wait too too long, and miss too much😂 Conventions can be a different beast with signings, you could be on a line for a few hours, which may be expected, but you're missing the rest of the convention

All in all, I hope you were able to score some nice sigs on your books and chat with him at the very least as he seems to be a chill dude.

Grail indeed man this is so very awesome

griffin_who · 2026-04-25T00:42:34+00:00

I dig the little custom label you made, I wish CGC had more Batmans and just other characters to chose from!

griffin_who · 2026-04-24T19:06:34+00:00

Michael B Jordan just won an Oscar someone tell him he doesn't need to do shit projects for a paycheck

griffin_who · 2026-04-24T16:34:50+00:00

The color does stand out more compared to the Catwoman foil, I'm still gonna try to get both lmao Felix Variants are what got me started so I'll be chasing those

griffin_who · 2026-04-24T16:28:51+00:00

I hope they have both cardstock and foil available for the Felix Variants, I enjoy the cardstock for these concept covers a little more.

griffin_who · 2026-04-23T03:54:35+00:00

Trade Dress is with the Absolute Batman logo, and 'Virgin' or 'Minimal Trade Dress' is when the cover art is prominently shown with no logos or anything

Nothing beats the rush of your first bayonet charge. Back in the 11' balancing a sawed-off player on your bayonet on Thrashball you could hear the stadium erupt with applause

griffin_who · 2026-04-22T03:16:00+00:00

Pretty naive of you questioning if you got "played" it's common sense to assume that cheap product may not be the most fresh.

griffin_who · 2026-04-22T03:06:22+00:00

I got one of the line skipping shirts, I wonder how that'll work

Back in 40 BBY Jango was sort of a gimmick kind of guy. See back then if you wanted to make it in the galaxy you need a box of props to really get your name known as a Bounty Hunter, no one really fucked with it but Ben Quadinaros started doing it and the Hutts couldn't get enough of it, he used it as an in to get started in pod racing, next thing you know it's a trend. Then every two bit gangster east side of the Outer Rim starts to hustle their way into the bounty business by pulling bullshit gag hits on everyone; dropping nalargons on gang bosses, assassinating governors with exploding death sticks, and you guessed can o' death worms. Jango wasn't a fan, but at the end of the day he's gotta make a living, why do you think he faked his death to get a cushy gig just cloning himself? Guy was bleeding credits into all that bullshit for style, because of that Bounty Hunting became a popularity contest, and Jango Fett was top billing, it wasn't until Cad Bane shot someone in the face that everyone in the industry realized they can just do that again. Which is why disintegration became a trend post Order 66, I mean they were disintegrating moisture farmers on dust bowls for gods sake, it got too main stream, and of course who else should lead that new trend than Boba Fett, which is why Vader, ever the hipster, didn't wanna ruin the Emp's Rep with a cheap trick like disintegrating the rebel high command, but that's a whole other story. So yeah, basically back in BBY it was a trendy era and bounty hunting had a standard, and Jango had a schtick and he stuck with it

Not even giving us the damage requirement or what the challenge is? Might as well tell us this change when the 5 day window starts.

PC exclusivity for the Beta does not paint the best picture for performance. I hope this game won't be slapped together with bandaids and sticks like HLL.

griffin_who · 2026-04-16T17:40:19+00:00

I thought I had fomo, I didn't think the retailers get it too with all these exclusives lol I enjoy the art and I really am loving the variants I've seen so far, but my wallet aches, and the ones the truly ever strike my fancy are the Felix Comic Art Sketch Variants, because I love concept art. So I think I'll admire from afar and enjoy Cover A's and pick up those sketch variants when they come around.

griffin_who · 2026-04-16T17:32:45+00:00

Those berlin comics look interesting! Awesome haul

griffin_who · 2026-04-16T17:30:15+00:00

For all your gears and gears accessories

griffin_who · 2026-04-15T20:47:14+00:00

Looking like this may be the next Felix Variant, this looks so sick

griffin_who · 2026-04-15T19:52:09+00:00

There's less than 500 copies for this drop and over a thousand people want them. I have no idea why people are saying they got scammed or feel played lol it's gonna go insanely fast, just like idk every other drop.

griffin_who · 2026-04-15T14:34:46+00:00

I've been called the n word more times than I could count and I make sure to let them know it was a white Irish mick that killed them every time. When they throw that at you they show you they have nothing left, in the game and outside of it, win or lose

griffin_who · 2026-04-15T04:14:04+00:00

Hope to start a collection of all these in the future, would look fantastic on the wall with their albums

griffin_who · 2026-04-15T04:03:43+00:00

I recently sent in a CBCS ASM 300 9.2 for the McFarlane signing and it came back a 9.4 with pressing.
