Man, you guys are bringing back some memories!! I was big into comics when I was in middle school / high school, but I eventually grew out of it. Well, maybe I didn't grow out of it, so much as I found other things to blow cash on. hehe. I think I have like Spawn 1-13 or something like that. I always loved McFarlane's work, ever since I saw his Spiderman stuff. I think I have both versions of the famous cover he did with Spiderman kinda squating on a web. I think he even did a cover of Spawn like that. Jim Lee's art was also excellent, but the style of McFarlane is so different from Lee that it's difficult to compare the two. Lee's work is more accurate to human features, while I think McFarlane's was slightly more cartoonish. (not in a bad way) I also had a couple of those X-ecutioner's song books, but I'm pretty sure I ripped them open and read 'em.

Ah well, I hope my mom still has my comic collection safely stored, one of these days they'll be worth something, right? heh.

*exitspeed* · 02-22-2007, 02:48 PM

Every once in a while. I'll bust out a box of comics and make my wife sit through me explaining each and every one. When I bought. Why I bought it. It's value. What makes it so cool.

Got to love a women that would sit though that.

Civil War is Over and now its called the "Initiative"

For those not familiar with what is going on..
Tony Stark (Iron Man) is now the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. because Nick Fury is missing. Ms Marvel may have something up her sleeve for Mr. Stark, but so does Ben Urich and Sally Floyd.
Captain America turned him-self over to the Po'Po'... share a cell with Kingpin?ew!
Spider-Man revieled his Identity and to save the Wifey and Granny he lives out of Hotels... Also he's Back in Black. Kingpin wants them dead...maybe.
Storm and BlackPanter got Married... and are currently helping out the Fantastic Four because Reed and Sue need some alone time...if you know what I mean.
The only person that has stood his ground is Punisher!! Whom has Captain America's mask.

Initiative is setting in motion what started the Civil War... All Super Powers must register their real name and powers with S.H.I.E.L.D. and go through training to become an Agent. All 50 States will have their own Crime fighting Super Hero Team.

enjoy... I am.
Peace
Drew

satal95 · 02-28-2007, 10:08 AM

Don't forget that aunt may got shot and may be the reason for spidey going back in black.
The next series i'm waiting for is World War Hulk because this is when Hulk will come back to earth and he will be bringing a can of whoop ass to the marvel universe

DrtyRat · 02-28-2007, 10:29 AM

Too many memories w/comic books...just curious what secret wars #8 (i believe that is the first appearance of the venom suit) would be worth in very good condition.

*exitspeed* · 02-28-2007, 10:37 AM

Man those stories sound awesome. I wish I had time to read'em.

Drew,

What books have this stuff happening? I'm curious about spiderman, being back in black etc. Did the Marvel Universe have a catastrophic change, or was it a gradual shift to where it is now? I haven't followed since the mid-90's, so I basically have no clue as to what's going on, and to hear all these storylines is crazy-talk!

a lot can happen in 10 years.

most of the change has been gradual.

*exitspeed* · 02-28-2007, 02:30 PM

Punisher Summer Specials. Those were cool. I have 1 and 2 of those.

satal95 · 02-28-2007, 09:26 PM

S13 Charlie if ur interested in the entire civil war run lmk have the entire run.

DrtyRat Secret War #8 can get you around $40 right now but just wait till the Spidey 3 comes out and more then likely it will jump up in price

BustedS13 · 03-01-2007, 12:53 AM

i still buy Punisher, but that's just because i have an ALMOST complete collection of every issue of every punisher series.. i used to buy all the comics i read, but now i mostly just download them.

i read regularly:
Punisher
Loveless
American Virgin
100 Bullets
Y

...and that's really it at the moment.

SochBAT · 03-01-2007, 01:25 AM

Good lord, so much shits happening.

Why'd spidey ditch the TechnoSuit?

BOROSUN · 03-01-2007, 01:59 AM

read wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_War_(comics)

MadScientist · 03-01-2007, 09:20 AM

Techno Suit was designed by Tony Stark... Stark convinced Spidey to come out on national TV an un-mask to help the Super Human Registration Act (SHRA)... after doing so Spidey found that Stark was hiding something and had no real response to why he was for the SHRA... Spidey went rouge (not the charicter) and Iron Man came after him... Iron Man used the Techno Suit against him!! He went back to the old Red and Blues for a bit but Rhino beat the sh@t out of Spidey.... he recovers after a few days and goes out agian and at that point Kingpin has had a Sniper watching the Hotel they are staying in... and shoots Aute May!!!

Spidey is going EMO right now so he is wearing the Black Suit.

Peace
Drew

WTF?! I was just reading up on the Civil War in wikipedia, and it started from the New Warriors filming a reality tv show in Stamford, Connecticut?! I grew up in Stamford! I wonder why it's appearing in a comic book, now I'm really interested, heh.

ALEXTHESUS*PECT · 03-07-2007, 03:39 PM

thanx for the info and websight.

MadScientist · 03-08-2007, 10:04 AM

RARE RARE RARE... my god... I was looking through the Price Guide for Civil War and Wolverine Origins.... WOW!!!

I have several Civil War - Variants... deffinatly worth the money spent... If you send them off to be graded the jump in price by the Hundreds... a couple are very very limited... like total of 17 printed.

Civil War Variants... you must find and buy!! All Michael Tuner art work!
#3 Thor cover
#3 Spidey Techno Suit cover
#6 Naymor cover
#7 All out War cover
They are each about $500 if you get them CGC Graded 9.6 or higher!

Wolverine Origins #10 - Variant... Find it, and Buy it... Last week it was $80, this week its $125... get it CGC Graded and its worth $2500!!! I picked this up yesterday... the comic shop had it on the wall and didn't update the price from last week!

I also suggest anyone that can find Captain America #25 - Variant... GET IT... Editor in Chief Joe Quesada said "dead means Dead" in regards to a possable comeback. No Superman retuns here!!

OK... time to go read all this new stuff...

Peace
Drew

*exitspeed* · 03-08-2007, 10:37 AM

I can't believe the OG Wolverine #1 is only worth $48. I was hoping that would go up more. if I have it graded could be worth $576.00.

But Wow my Uncanny X-Men #266 that I have in as mint as you can get condition can be worth $1,248.00 if I have it graded.

OK.... WTF!!! seriously... why the hell would you publicly announce or make a statment of this magnitude to comic book geeks!!
Cap being dead is a Kick in the balls alone... Then they release Civil War "The Initiative" #1 (one shot) and Spider-Woman and Ms. Marvel are talking about Cap is not dead... "he is tucked away safe on the raft"... WTF!!! I thought Dead ment Dead?!?!? What a dick!!

yes i just went off over a comic book.. thats how it is!

Peace
Drew

Rayne · 03-10-2007, 12:11 PM

Out of all the comics I used to collect I only kept:
DC Comics
Superman #123 (Glow in the Dark Edition)

Marvel
Silver Surfer #50 (First Printing) Thanos in the background and Silver Surfer embossed

Image
Prophet #1
Danger Girl #1
WitchBlade #1

Maximum Press
WarChild #1
Christian #1

I wish I would have bought Bone #1 when I had the chance. Anyway, I have no idea what each of the comics I have are worth and more than likely won't bother finding out for a while.

John_R · 03-12-2007, 01:11 PM

I am surprised at how cheap comics are. Even the ones that are "expensive" aren't tbhat expensive. Reason why I say that is cause I use to play Magic the Gathering back in the day. I have a couple cards form the Beta Edition (there were 9 overly powerful expensive cards), one being a Black Lotus. The things value from $700 (in poor cond.) to $1500-$2500 (Mint).

Sorry, not much about comics here. I lost all mine during the Hurricane season of 05'. Thanks Hurricane Dennis.
