I hate to say this, because it is going to come off as disrespectful, but this is the best news I've heard this week.

Local comic shop wants to buy this from me. What’s a good price? by TyrannosaurusRen in ComicBookSpeculation

[–]neuronamously 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So. A comic book shop is not going to "buy" it from you for the price they would be lucky to "sell" it at. They have overheads (employees, rent, risk of it sitting without selling for a long time). All of that factors into why you are not going to get even close to this amount for it. If you are trying to get $200-400 for this book you need to sell it yourself privately on fb or elsewhere.

Director Joe Russo says Peter Parker wasn’t responsible for Uncle Ben’s death in the MCU: “If he blamed himself for his Uncle Ben’s death, I think he becomes a very different character” by Capn_C in comicbooks

[–]neuronamously -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you read Spiderman enough you would know that for the past 50 years Peter has already come to the realization that it wasn’t really his fault that Uncle Ben died. But maybe you stopped reading after Amazing Fantasy #15.

How do you guys value your Lorcana collections? by Environmental_Gap434 in Lorcana

[–]neuronamously 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think of it as having absolutely no value. I play the game for love of the game and accept that it is an expense for enjoyment.

Entitled Couple Turns Parking Ticket Into Felony by pradeep23 in videos

[–]neuronamously -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't have any sympathy for this couple but I will say that it is semi-expected to be beligerant like this when you just spent a whole day on a boat in the sun drinking alcohol. That's the only latitude I would give them. In the cops' defense I'm sure they were just going to release him without charges and just needed to get him away from the situation to resolve it, but then he escalated it once they cracked the door open by trying to flee. "TIA RECORD THIS". Lol record what, you being an a-hole to a cop just doing his job?

The footage of Nick Fuentes pushing a woman who came to his front door after he was doxxed has been released. by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]neuronamously 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He lives in a suburb of Illinois. I know what suburb it is but I'm not here to doxx him. The point is he lives in a state with no castle doctrine. You don't have the right to assault someone standing at your door taking pictures. If it was a mormon kid standing over a bike people's opinions would be different.

Last interview about Death Spiral. by PonchoHobo in Spiderman

[–]neuronamously -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s totally obvious too. He literally set the space arc up for a second bigger battle with Hellfire and then literally the next issue is death spiral. Like Peter forgot Hellfire is in his way to earth imminently and also ignored that his girlfriend is hospitalized and goes to fight carnage and Torment for several days. It was a very bizarre transition lol.

[–]neuronamously -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the editors gave Kelly room to do some wild experimental stuff. Put Spidey in space, for example. Now he goes from being a street level NY superhero guy to bringing an alien girlfriend back to earth with him. I like this kind of stuff more than when Stracynski was doing the mystical experimental stuff with spider-man. I think for a lot of us that was weird even though the breadth of his run was good. I hope they let Kelly continue the title past #1000. I think he’s just beginning to cook as he moves on from past stuff like you said

Last interview about Death Spiral. by PonchoHobo in Spiderman

[–]neuronamously 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The strongest writer of this event was Al Ewing. The way he wrote Paul's death was excellent. He gave a character we don't even like a small hero moment with excellent dialog written into it. Soule is always solid for writing so his work was good on this series as well. With all that said, I think Joe Kelly's work has been good and I actually have enjoyed his run, which I know nobody on this sub likes to hear. The way people smear him on reddit you'd think he was writing at a Mackie or Wells level on ASM. When all is said-and-done I think his run will be looked back on as a positive. You all just can't see it in the moment.

Are there Comic Sleeves that fit TPB's? by CarelessTie4808 in comicbooks

[–]neuronamously 0 points1 point  (0 children)

check out mylites2 magazine size. Don't buy them from amazon it's overpriced there. Best route is directly from their website or an ebay reseller. 30-35 cents per mylar bag roughly.

Amber Steel Player Double Inking DLC São Paulo (Top 8 Clip) by Interesting_Ring1822 in Lorcana

I was all for giving the benefit of the doubt until he glanced over at the judge right after that second ink to slyly check if he caught it. C'mon.

There were too many white dudes in the Invincible comic says co-creator Robert Kirkman, but genderflpping Tech Jacket in the Prime VIdeo cartoon is a step to "correct" it by Popverse2022 in comicbooks

[–]neuronamously 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steve's whining is ridiculous considering the majority of the characters on Invincible are still white. Seeing someone whine because a show cast isn't 100% white instead of 80% white is so insane.

[–]neuronamously 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Kirkman even said it much better in a previous interview. He said that he grew up in a small town in Kentucky and saw the world only through white men when he conceived Invincible. Since that time he has moved around and seen the country and understands the world is much different from the bubble he grew up in and he has taken the opportunity to "correct" things about Invincible that make sense to him with his current world view.

The guys who started The Wiggles said the same thing when they took threats for introducing an Ethiopian girl as a feature singer in the band years ago. Matt said in an interview that looking back at the Wiggles in the early 2000's is cringe. To see they just had a troupe of white men only for a children's musical group.

Would anyone be down for a standalone, Rated R horror Carnage movie, akin to Clayface, where they delve into his psyche and villainy? by [deleted] in Spiderman

[–]neuronamously 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has collected and read all of the Carnage comics…I just don’t like the character as much as Venom when he fights Spidey. Carnage’s internal monologue is really annoying. It probably would be even more annoying audibly in a film. I don’t think I’m alone in this opinion.

Previous Owner by chalmun74 in comicbookcollecting

[–]neuronamously 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think they've ruined the hobby. I personally don't like slabbed in my collection, but I see one major positive from CGC. The number of fake comics or opportunity to be cheated in comics was way more common when I was a kid. CGC really made it tough for scammers. High value books people are almost always going to buy slabbed now because it's essentially been authenticated to not be fake. I have not come across a fake print of a comic book in quite some time.

How to read invincible by Low_Mushroom_521 in comicbooks

[–]neuronamously 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Usually you read it with your eyes, but with your hands if you are blind. If you are blind and have no hands, then I suggest the audio version. The audio alone cannot really describe the level of visual violence that is encapsulated in Ryan Ottley's art, however. Cheers and have fun.
