The S-shaped spit curl, while definitely iconic, is also a look straight out of the 50's. Given the realistic, modernized nature of MoS, it makes sense that they don't include it as part of his...

Yeah, people forget that he's not just another freelance artist, and that he has a corporate job with DC. I have no idea how many hours a week that job requires, but assuming he works at least 40...

I think there are a bunch from old Batman comics. The infamous "Quiet or papa spank" one the one about Joker's boner comes to mind.

Edit: found 'em.

The latest Marvel solicits confirm that they are going ahead with the reprints of the Uncanny X-Men omnibus (as well as the Amazing Spider-Man vol. 1 omnibus):
...

I think the beauty of the issues before #121 is that Claremont was really setting up all the pieces for something bigger down the road. As things got closer to Dark Phoenix, you could really see how...

I remember that most issues typically had a few sentences here and there that would explain someone's power, personality, and/or role on the team, but I don't recall large sections of texts going...

For my collecting purposes, I draw a line at the period when publishers were switching over from the old printing process to computer coloring and glossy paper (sometime in the early 90s I believe). ...

Claremont's best work on the series was definitely in the earlier years. I felt like the stories started to go all over place right around the Fall of the Mutants. There were some bright spots here...

Agreed about the reprints. I have almost the entire Claremont run, split between the complete series of Classic X-Men reprints and original issues of Uncanny X-Men. If you just care about getting...

I've been following the Spidey developements, and honestly I think the whole thing is being blown out of proportion. I think the nerd-outrage is even more silly considering everyone has already...

I get what you're saying, but not all online shops are immune from overinflated starting prices. I don't buy from there, but I've heard that Mile High prices their books high, and then brings them...

That begs the question of whether this inner circle of dealers whose sales data is used to set prices in Overstreet uses Overstreet to price their books to begin with. Or whether they just simply...

What does everyone think of the utility of comic book price guides in the Internet era?

With the advent of online sales, it seems to me that comic book price guides are becoming increasingly...

That's true. I wasn't into eBay back then, but I do have a small collection of vintage toys, and I scan eBay from time to time for pieces to add. From what I've heard and read online, there was...

I think the vintage toy market is still going strong actually, depending on the toy line. When you think about it, most toys with any real staying power are licensed from some kind of entertainment...

From my observations, it seems in Asia (particularly Korea and Japan), entertainment franchises are designed to tell a story with a beginning, middle, and end, whereas in America the purveyors try to...

I have similar memories from that era. In particular, I had lots of friends who got into baseball cards and comic books who didn't watch baseball, nor read the actual comics. They were convinced...

It's funny how the sports card market followed a parallel path to the comic book market. I remember back around the same time that companies were putting out foil and holographic variant covers and...

It exists, I don't know that I'd say it's alive and kicking. The only places I see comics outside of comic shops are at bookstore chains like Barnes and Nobles. It's funny that they are called...

Unfortunately, I think X-Men suffers from being one of the most continuity-dependent franchises, such that it's often hard for new readers to get into it without knowing a lot of what has happened...

What year did Marvel file for bankruptcy? I would place the bursting of the bubble a year or two before that.

Yeah, that thread was partially what inspired me to ask about a dedicated toy/collectibles subforum. My only gripe about those types of threads is that it's hard to discuss more than one subject at...

Well, I saw a thread over in the classic comics section on superhero toys that is going on 38 pages now, so I figured that at least indicated some interest in the topic. That, and my own interest as...

I wanted to put forth a suggestion for a new forum for CBR (I hope this is the most appropriate place to do so). Given that many comic book readers are also collectors of related merchandise such as...

Not really -- just show Batman with white eyes in a few scenes, and cut to a first-person view with fancy graphics to make it clear that he's using some special tech in the lenses. They did it in...
