9/2/2021 Topic: Infinite Destinies / Infinite Fury cover misprints glorkar	So I'm finally getting around to reading all of the Marvel Annuals that are part of the Infinite Destinies / Infinite Fury story arcs. I've noticed that there are misprints on two of the covers. Guardians of the Galaxy (https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/guardians-of-the-galaxy/1_annual/phusmps) shows Part 4 of 8 on the cover, but is in reality part 6 (as shown on the title page of the backup story). Miles Morales: Spider-Man (https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/miles-morales-spider-man/1_annual/phurmvy) shows Part 5 of 8 on the cover, but is in reality part 7 (as shown on the title page of the backup story).
9/3/2021 Topic: Infinite Destinies / Infinite Fury cover misprints glorkar	The indicia doesn't mention anything about the story or backup story. . Just double checked to make sure I had my numbering right. Are those the numbers printed on your cover? Or the actual story that printed in the book? . My cover A copy of GotG definitely has "Infinite Fury Part 4 of 8" printed on the cover. Flip to the story and it's titled "Infinite Fury Part VI". My cover A copy of MM: SM has "Infinite Fury Part 5 of 8" printed on the cover. Flip to the story and it's titled "Infinite Fury Part VII". . I did find this that states that Marvel planned on releasing them in a different order initially: https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Infinite_Destinies That lines up with yours, but not mine. edited by glorkar on 9/3/2021
9/8/2021 Topic: Batman: Wayne Family Adventures glorkar	I didn't know this was a thing. I read a few comics on Webtoons and today I got a notification that this series dropped. So apparently DC Comics and Webtoon have a deal. This is the first series they released. It's a cutesy slice of life series. It's light and fun. Totally worth checking out. https://www.webtoons.com/en/slice-of-life/batman-wayne-family-adventures/list?title_no=3180
9/8/2021 Topic: The Suicide Squad Movie glorkar	So, The Suicide Squad. Have you seen it? Did you like it? I'm gonna throw this out there and say that I was not impressed. I feel like there were too many characters and the story was mediocre at best. Best performance was hands down Rat Catcher 2. All in all, (I know it's not popular opinion) I liked the first one better.
9/9/2021 Topic: Uploading Variant Cover glorkar	Go to the main cover of the issue you have a variant for. Click on the tab named "Variants". Scroll to the bottom of the listed variants. In the bottom right corner is a red button named " ! Report Missing Variant ". Click the button and fill in the blanks.
9/12/2021 Topic: Questions about Bagging and Boarding glorkar	I've run into a few regular issues that are oversized (example, all of the Batman Urban Legends issues) that don't fit in modern/current size bags. I always seem to have some old ones lying around from ebay purchases that are a little larger that they seem to fit in. I've been debating buying some golden age bags and boards to see if they fit in those.
9/20/2021 Topic: TMNT Adventures #23 - 1st Slash glorkar	Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures V2#23 https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-adventures/23/pktxmw This is the first appearance of Slash. Should get a note and maybe a price adjustment. Seems to be getting a bit of love on the auction sites recently.
9/23/2021 Topic: Dealing with A Seller that accepts offer then..... glorkar	It's the sellers prerogative if they want to accept an offer or not. And when someone offers an insane amount of money, it would be silly not to accept. However, it's absolutely ridiculous when the person who offered the money says, "Oh, never mind. I don't really want to pay you that much. I was just hoping that it would start a conversation and I could get it for less than I said I was willing to pay". That's the sort of behavior that should get called out.
9/23/2021 Topic: Dealing with A Seller that accepts offer then..... glorkar	So he has a book listed at $2. You offer $2. He ignores you. You offer $500. He accepts. You reneg and say you'll only pay him $2. I get that he had poor communication on ignoring the initial offer and not just rejecting it. But the way you acted was just as bad imo. If a seller ignored me, I would just go to a different seller. You were trying to start drama with the second offer. It appears you succeeded.
9/25/2021 Topic: Dealing with A Seller that accepts offer then..... glorkar	If you didn't want comments and feedback from the random masses, maybe you should have taken a hot second to think about things before you posted on a public forum. You basically staked a sign in your front yard with your phone number and a message saying "don't call me".
9/26/2021 Topic: Lady Mechanika : The Monster of the Ministry of He glorkar	So Lady Mechanika is getting some new issues. Joe Benitez has signed back on with Image Comics. The first issue of the new arc is available for preorder (in store early Dec), as well as on Kickstarter if you want a special exclusive edition. https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/OCT210009 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/eljoebenitez/lady-mechanika-the-monster-of-the-ministry-of-hell-1?ref=user_menu I've only ever read the FCBD story, but I've always been intrigued. This seemed like the perfect time to jump into things (the full collection of TPBs available on the Kickstarter for $90 doesn't hurt either, lol).
9/26/2021 Topic: What If...? glorkar	Sooooo, who's watching it? What are your thoughts? Do you have a favorite episode? I'm gonna be honest. I can't remember specifics from a lot of the episodes without looking into it. I don't know. They were all okay, but none of them were great? Like, I don't regret watching them, but I'm truly not going to remember any of them in a month or so. The first episode with Peggy as a super soldier was probably my favorite, if I had to pick one. Not sure why. Maybe because I have a soft spot for female protagonists.
9/27/2021 Topic: What If...? glorkar	Defiant1 wrote: The Dr. Strange episode made no sense to me because it conflicted with the events in the movie, yet the cartoon made it appear that the events in the movie were impossible. I just felt that all of it was really poor writing. I feel that the animation is overly cliche with exaggerated expressions and reactions. The only thing I liked about any of them is that they got some of the actual actors to do the voice work on many characters. Everything else was forgettable. Being different than the movies is the whole point of the series. In the Dr. Strange episode, the whole premise is What If instead of becoming a cripple, he lost the love of his life? Instead of spending his life trying to get his old life back, he spends it trying to simply bring her back to life. It's that driving force that takes him down a dark path while he tries to change the unchangeable. That's what the multiverse is all about. One small change can have a drastic impact on the outcome of everything else.
9/28/2021 Topic: What If...? glorkar	I can see your point with the Dr Strange story. You're right in that even though the tragedy was different, he still became a sorcerer. No matter what happened to him, he was always destined to become what he did. I felt the same sort of "meh" towards the Star Lord / T'Challa episode. It just seems unlikely to me that some smooth talking rich kid would be able to 'set straight' a bunch of murderous thugs right from the start of their time together. And I'm kind of with you on all of the shows not being spectacular. Each one had it's moments, but overall they were just filler while I'm waiting for movies to come out. Honestly, my favorite Marvel TV show is still Agents of Shield. I know a lot of people didn't like it, but that seems pretty typical for the stuff I enjoy most.
10/7/2021 Topic: Dollar Bin Digging - Signed Books glorkar	When I have a few extra minutes, I like to dig though the dollar bins at my LCS. Yesterday I found two signed books. I'm not familiar with the either the books or the signers, but it's always neat to find something like that, you know? . . Alphabet Supes signed by Jim Krueger - Apparently I should know him. He's written for both major brands and a ton of other books. According to Comicvine, he's written over 300 books. His big runs appear to be the Marvel Earth-X, Universe-X and Paradise-X books. https://comicvine.gamespot.com/jim-krueger/4040-41498/issues-cover/ . The Imaginaries #2 (Titus variant) signed by Ben Avery - looks like his claim to fame is adapting George R. R. Martin's Hedge Knight to comic book form. edited by glorkar on 10/7/2021
10/7/2021 Topic: Harley Quinn: Animated Series: Eat. Bang! Kill. glorkar	I'm enjoying the book so far. Definitely plays well with the show itself. All of the voices of the characters pop right into my head, lol. It's a shame it's only a 6 issue mini. Would have been a great opportunity to release a new character in issue 12 as a nod to Harley's first appearance in an animation related title.
10/7/2021 Topic: Squid Game glorkar	Anyone watching? I watched the first episode yesterday. Seemed interesting. It was super slow getting into it, but ones the game began it was entertaining. I'm going to give it a few more episodes for sure.
10/7/2021 Topic: Questions about Bagging and Boarding glorkar	BasementComics wrote: I buy BCW Current THICK bags as they seem to accommodate most current books, annuals and giant size. For TPB and smaller hard covers, I'll use either silver or golden age depending on the thickness. Just wanted to let you know I picked up a pack of the thick bags from Amazon. (Linky to the ones I got) (The desc. says 500 count up top but it really is just 100). I had my ASM 74 waiting patiently for these to show up. I was a little doubtful when I pulled the first one out of the sleeve. It just didn't look like what I was picturing for some reason (I was expecting square edges or something crazy like that). Slid a board in, then the book. It's almost like it was made for that sort of thing, lol. Truly, it fit perfectly. So glad you told me this was a thing.
10/8/2021 Topic: Magnus, Robot Fighter #1 Incorrect Cover Price glorkar	https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/magnus-robot-fighter/1/pkuyiv Magnus, Robot Figher #1 This one needs a cover price adjustment. Should be $1.75, not $1.25.
10/8/2021 Topic: Super Mario Bros #2 Incorrect Cover Price glorkar	https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/super-mario-bros/2/pitvop Super Mario Bros #2 This has an incorrect cover price listed. It should be $1.50, not $1.95.
