Comic Book Discussion Thread V.16

Anyways, I'm not asking for an analysis based on these photos. I was just excited to find the comic, the saddened it wasn't protected, and I just wanted to test out the camera on my shitty phone to see how much detail it could pick up. Turns out it's not great, oddly enough.

Just wipe all the finger grease off of the lens. Should improve the picture quality.

I tried. It's just a low level phone, with a not amazing camera. It doesn't seem to focus well up close. But when I find the comics I think have a higher value I'll see if I can take better photos. Thanks.

Saw a lot of recommendations for Planetary here. I think I'll pick it up. I want to get the 2nd vol of Fear Agent, too.

Anyone know if Black Science is any good? I read a few issues so far and liked it.

I've got some Abe Sapien digital titles I bought a while ago but never got around to reading. I usually love Mignolaverse stuff but I'm having trouble getting excited about these. Is this a good series?

I am currently reading the Onslaught series and I originally remember how great of a story it was....

But that was trying to catch all the comics in the series. Now with having the 4 volumes to read I am surprised how poorly written it is and so many discrepancies in the story and art work.

What is a good Marvel series that I should read next?

I was thinking AoA or Fear Itself.

Im not really a comic book fan but I bought the telltales game called ´Wolf among men´ where you decided what actions to take which in turn affects the story line and all I can say is that it was awsome. I recommend taking shit loads of C and playing this game while recovering. Its based on a comic so it should be right up your alley. Yes it cost a tenner but worth it unless you are a bum.

They also have other games which I will try out the next time I cant get out of bed and dont have my laptop at hand.

Thanks. If anybody is an authority on those books it ought to be you.

Cover art from my new book. It's on a site that rhymes with dickfarter, if you like to help indie creators =)

The quality of the series' (Hellboy, BPRD, Abe Sapien) have gone way downhill since The Death of Hellboy. Abe is a very cool character with a great origin, and it looks like his species is going to be the new age of man after the apocalypse is all over, but they're just dragging it along. Same with BPRD. He shouldn't have his own series. He should have a series of mini-series.

Anyone watch that show 'Comic Book Men'?
It's basically Pawn Stars for comic related stuff.
This week they had the Secret Wars
where Spidey gets the symbiont costume.
I own that.

Just got a "subscribed post" on facebook for something called Comic Bento, another one of these monthly subscription things but for graphic novels. Wondering if anyone here tried it or heard anything good or bad about it

I think it was $70. I paid 3.95.

I thought it would be more than that. Kinda surprised.

Post pictures here if you'd like. Especially the binding. The binding is where a comic retains or loses most of its value. I'm pretty rusty, but I can give you a pretty good ballpark of where it might rate to someone who appraises professionally.

Old 60s/70s stuff can be pretty beat up and worth a lot of money, but those early/mid 90s comics right before the comic book bubble burst are nearly worthless unless they're in damn near perfect condition.

Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, just telling you not to get your hopes up.

Finally got around to selling my first appearance Deadpool. Put it on Craigslist for $300. Got $280 for it. Not too shabhy.
