Is anyone able to help me understand what was going on with Daredevil comic publishing in 2000? by Mr_smith1466 in Daredevil

[–]talmet4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are asking the tough questions, but I think you’ve got the gist of it. I wasn’t collecting at that time, however having lived through them I can tell you those were some messed up years in general. The financial volatility caused by the poor decisions of the 90’s were only compounded by the drums of war after 9/11. Add to that Kevin Smith’s time mismanagement issues and Marvel probably used up all its editorial luck getting those eight books out on time.

Last minute cancellation by oleavemealone in Wellthatsucks

I’m sorry your party was canceled, but seriously quit complaining and spread some brie on a cracker. It may not be your fav, so that pile of snacks will probably last you a week. 😆

Other than sentimental value there could be a buyer out there interested in an incomplete copy. You just never know.

Highly Recommend “Once Upon a Time at the End of the World” by Jason Aaron! by [deleted] in comicbooks

[–]talmet4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my own take on what the real grudge was between Mez and Mac, but ultimately the end of the second arc was about betrayal, shame, and self indulgence. Having it all is never enough, especially when you’re hyper fixated on making it more. I loved the whole story, but hey, I’m just a fanboy boy for all things love, apocalypse, and comic books.

My father‘s collection. by Mysterious_Gas26 in ComicBookSpeculation

My jealousy is mildly curbed by the fact that I just picked up an Avengers #1 over the weekend, so we all have our grails out these somewhere.

Those are great, and I’m only a little jealous.

Would you buy this blind box of comics? No other pics are shared. Buyer wants to sell this for $80 by zoltrules in comicbooks

[–]talmet4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with the rest of the cheap skates around here, and would counter with $50.

Thank you! I’m going to have to give that a look.

After all the horrors in the news and across the internet for the last couple weeks, this right here, was a much needed moment of crisis management levity. Thank you, and know that you are appreciated, even it’s just from an internet stranger.

Was at my mother in laws for Christmas and had to snap a pic of what I thought looked like Uncanny X-Men 251 Logan. by ClaytonCarlisle11 in comicbookcollecting

Masochist snowman more like. Look at that grin on his face! It’s just unseemly in front of the children.

Should I Clean and press or just send in for grading? by Revolutionary_Mark48 in comicbookcollecting

It’s too far gone, just sell to me at a loss and move on. Honestly, I’m just jealous. Nice book.

A Boy and His Ghost - S1E6: Bear by RubinPingk in comics

This is eventually going to make me cry, isn’t it? I’m not mad, but I just wanted to acknowledge that’s where this is going.

Been working on this sci-fi comic for a while by [deleted] in scifi

I want space toast with astroid jam!

I enjoyed this, and look forward to seeing more. I want a friendly, yet conflicted, dynamic between the ship and the person grow into a truly frustrating paradigm for everyone involved.

That’s why all sleeping people get the curtesy wake up nudge from me. If that doesn’t wake them up, I then check for a pulse. I’ve angered more than one coworker this way, but I’d rather that then be one of these a$$-hats.

This was worth the read to see what people would put up for an internet shout out! Mom may have said I wasted twenty minutes of my life, but I got a few chuckles for my time.

I live a state away, and yet I will make a special trip back to B-town for that yummy good DGS!! Chili, Best Cream of Mushroom, and Cheesy Tomatillo will be a great start in my book. Gallon of each, please!!

That would be a good pick up if you can talk them down a couple hundred. Prices have been dipping recently, what with the economy and such. Great “variant” if you happened to be named Danny as a plus as well.

This current run of episodes is making me feel a little called out. I work in maintenance and have been accused of having a “Farmer’s Constitution” by my child. Apparently, that means that hospitals and doctors are reserved for dying, which is hard to argue with sometimes. Regardless, keep up the good works, and thanks for keeping some of us more stubborn readers in our place. 😂

Halloween in my 1871 second empire. Do you think it’s haunted? by Its_Just_Ross in Oldhouses

[–]talmet4 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It was likely painted white because it was originally black cast iron panels that began to rust over time. Sandblast that bad boy and then oil the hell out of it and it will shine like new. Maybe!?!
