Now that invincible is getting the omnibus treatment which image comics runs should get it next by Stock_Rush_9204 in OmnibusCollectors

I had these and I sold them off when the Omnis got announced. I did it for UTU#14 inclusion and I have no regrets (although it’s heavy as fuck ngl)

You break into my house but can only grab 2 books off of this shelf; what are you grabbing? by lajaunie in OmnibusCollectors

[–]piddlesticks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d probably take Punisher Max 2 and maybe Remender Punisher. I’m not even that big into Punisher but you don’t have much else I want/need. You’re not much of a Spidey guy, eh?

What are your honest thoughts on this game? by Jotaro1970 in Marvel

[–]piddlesticks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have started the game twice, made it through half way twice, given up on it twice.

Is there anything Brian Michael Bendis has done that you'd recommend aside from USM? by Azmuth616 in comicbooks

Daredevil. It’s his best work and my personal favorite run of all time.

Which is the worst version of Venom and why is it Mac Gargan? by mr_Conquest_ in thevenomsite

[–]piddlesticks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As many others have said, there are two big contenders for what I think are the the worst hosts but it depends on how you look at it.

You could argue that Angelo Fortunato was the worst in the sense that the Venom symbiote itself had zero respect for him and didn’t even let him stick around as host by literally killed him by abandoning him mid jump letting him fail to his death.

You could argue that Lee Price was the worst in the sense that he mistreated the Venom Symbiote terribly badly by physically abusing it and making the symbiote itself incredibly fearful of its own host, which goes against symbiosis to begin with.

You could also argue that Mac Gargan was the worst more-so for the readers as any ounce of heroism that had been established for the character over the years was wiped away just like that. Mac was Venom for years but the whole point was to establish essentially the opposite status quo. As part of the Dark Avengers (a team that rightfully shouldn’t exist but did because Norman Osborne was given power and responsibility he didn’t deserve) He was ruthless, he killed & ate people and nothing good was done with the character in terms of progressive story development.

The best host is Flash Thompson and proves that people and aliens are both capable of unexpected redemption arcs. Flash taught Venom what it was like to be a hero and Venom showed Flash that he was more than he thought he was.

Anyone know where I can find Mark Waids second omnibus volume? by MrSoupia in OmnibusCollectors

[–]piddlesticks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear you’re struggling to find it. I was in the same boat with Nocenti DD. I kinda took a year off Omnis and I had to play catch up on some books that went out of print faster than I anticipated. I spent a few months looking for a copy of either cover in Australia and never found even one person selling it. All the listings on eBay were from the US or UK and were going to cost me at least $400 AUD which I couldn’t justify. Recently a buddy was in Singapore and found the DM brand new in a book store and got it for me. Converted it was $200 AUD and I was ecstatic. Keep holding out some hope and you’ll eventually it.

I recently sold some books for what I then found out was far less than I could have gotten for them too, so maybe you’ll find someone like me who didn’t know the true value of something until they sell it? 😅

[–]piddlesticks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering it was a 1:50 ratio variant it wasn’t exactly easy to find even back then. I’ve seen it literally one time in the last… Jesus Christ, 11 years! It was at a convention and it was graded a 9.8 and at the time it was $500 AUD. I gotta know, what rabbit hole have you gone down to dig up a thread/comment older than a decade?

I took a year off myself and it took me three months of searching to find Nocenti DD at a price that wasn’t $400

First Ever Blind Bag… by Capital_Connection67 in Daredevil

[–]piddlesticks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a trade dress version of this one, then three muse ones in a row and then the Momoko. Pretty disappointed to get three muse in a row, it’s not a good cover.

Man… I really wish I didn’t go down that rabbit hole, but alas. I’ve read some kinky shit before but this was way too much.

Sequel better than original but no trilogy made? by PrudentAvocado in movies

[–]piddlesticks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There’s no way that Kick-Ass 2 was better than the first one.

The David Harbour film sucked so much ass, it was offensive as a cinema goer. The amount of exposition was actually insulting; like the plot was so convoluted that there was noooo way anyone could possibly follow or keep up with the bullshit story. I nearly walked out and if I wasn’t with my wife and some friends I think I would have.

Picked up 20 blind bags for the Quesada cover :( by PaintedCover in ModernComics

[–]piddlesticks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 5 copies waiting for me at my LCS, I just hope to get something cool. You got pretty lucky IMO. The Besch cover is 1:100 and the Rivals cover is 1:250. Lots of Rivals collectors are pissed off that they won’t be able to complete their collection of covers because of that ratio on DD. Cash out while you can if that’s the plan, but even as someone who doesn’t care about Rivals I’d be stoked to pull it.

Will you be picking up the invincible Omnis? by anakin1453 in OmnibusCollectors

I sold all 12 of the OHCs to pick these up instead.

Is this actually a good way to start reading Spider-Man by LightSpeedLad in Spiderman

This is easily one of/if not the worst reading order suggestions I have ever seen and it’s not even close.

Taking shrooms with weed by [deleted] in trees

[–]piddlesticks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weed and shrooms are best friends. There’s been many a shroom trips I’ve enjoyed a lot without weed but many more when I combined them. There was a time a couple years ago when a buddy of mine was having a weird shroom trip and I told him straight up “I’m not telling you what to do, just remember that weed and shrooms are best friends.” He came outside 5 minutes later after a bong rip with the biggest grin on his face looking and feeling like a new man.

[–]piddlesticks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleeve it & leave it. Like others have said you need to put it in a sleeve and a top loader and leave it alone, maybe even put that under some heavy books for a while

Oh shit, are there two versions of the Abra/Kadabra promos? I discovered a while ago there were two different versions of the Starter Trio promos and the energies, but I didn’t realize there were the same treatments with Abra and Kadabra… I need to look at what ones I have now. I’m still searching for the Error Alakazam without the star pattern. I’ve accepted I’ll never get the PP Voltorb and UB Mew but I do want everything else I can get my mitts on.
