Re: Q&A #2: Deadline is September 2nd
Here you go! Feel free to pick and choose :) 1) With the many discussions regarding increasing comic prices and the value that each comic provides, I'm curious where your breaking point is. Assuming no DC version of the Marvel Unlimited service becomes available (or any other massive shifts in the d...

Re: Shop Chat with Kowabunga
I picked Tues/Wed, as those are the nights typically devoid of major sporting events. Doesn't matter much in the summer, but in the fall... well, just ask my football widow.

Re: DCBS Monthly Shipments
Yeah, your experience mirrors mine at DCBS. Anything they don't feel like tracking down gets the "shorted, can't replace" excuse. But they don't bother getting replacements at the time of the short (which I thought was standard procedure when shortages happen, unless it's on a super-high-d...

Re: DCBS Monthly Shipments
So DCBS finally got back to me. They simply cancelled Peter Parker 298 and Jessica Jones 17. They claim they were shorted, but it never occurred to them to replace them? And since they were initially listed as being in my final shipment, I suspect they couldn't replace them because the issues were n...

Re: DCBS Monthly Shipments
Eric, the three monthly issues I'm confident were released, as subsequent issues are in my last DCBS shipment. I have no clue about the 2 year old trades. X-Men Gold #24 Leg JAN180993 Peter Parker Spectacular Spider-Man #298 Leg OCT170901 Jessica Jones #17 Leg DEC170846 ------------------ Transforme...

Re: DCBS Monthly Shipments
With the collections I have outstanding, I'm not willing to just cancel it all and flush what I've already paid for. That would be painful. But I assume I will have to re-order from somewhere the handful of issues that were released weeks/months ago that they are choosing not to fulfill. I have a ha...

Re: DCBS Monthly Shipments
I don't have THAT many outstanding items with DCBS, but it would be nice to wrap up the loose ends and be done with the transition. One or two items they claim they were shorted on and said they'd fill them when the replacements arrived. That was over three months ago, so I assume that if they were ...

Re: DCBS Monthly Shipments
So, I have a question for all the new Kowabunga mail-order customers... have you had any difficulty getting your remaining items from DCBS? I asked them to hold my final (March) shipment a couple of weeks so that a few straggler issues could be included. Once all those items were released, I asked t...

Re: Goodbye Legacy, hello ‘Fresh Start’!
I agree that it's preferable to the legacy numbering completely disappearing. I had no issue with the dual numbering in the late 90's early 2ks. I mean, it was stupid, but it was better than ignoring the long time large issues numbers I suppose. But with how often Marvel seems to relaunch, rebrand, ...

Re: Goodbye Legacy, hello ‘Fresh Start’!
The problem is that even hardcore comic readers can't really tell you the main idea of Legacy. Something vague like "back to basics" I guess (if someone held a gun to my head)??? Aside from new numbering, absolutely nothing was different in the books I read (which were the same books I alw...

Re: Next Spider-Man writer
I like Ottley quite a bit, as he's been consistently really good on Invincible. I'm glad he's getting a shot in the big spotlight. Good on him. Spencer... fingers crossed that he doesn't shoot himself in the foot with his stories or his ramblings on the interwebs. He was a rising star that couldn't ...

Re: Marvel overhaul...what would you do?
I'd love to see page-counts increase beyond 20, but asking modern artists to produce 60 pages a month isn't going to happen unless you're giving them a 9-month head start to get waaaaaay ahead. And padding books with backups by C & D-list talent isn't the answer either. That always feels very ba...

Re: Next Spider-Man writer
I wouldn't want Spencer, as his Cap run was... uneven to put it nicely. And while he's a talented writer, he can't seem to separate his comic writing from his highly-political twitter obsession. I would make the same argument about GW Wilson. No matter which side of the political spectrum a writer l...

Re: Pull List - Whatchya Readin This Week?
When I look at it on a weekly basis like this, I'd be inclined to say that it's a light week... but I realistically only read 20-25 titles a month, so this is probably more normal than not. Time, money, and space are a premium, so I really have to limit myself to what I deem most interesting/importa...
