Noooooooooooooooooooooo
people may hate on the Inhumans push, but i think Marvel's Medusa love is great if it means we get more panels like this.
I plan to read the whole thing. Not out of some loyalty or some need to finish it since I started it, but because I'm really enjoying it and enjoy the concept and really like all the writers on it.
Not all the TPBs are out yet though. They've been putting them out consistently (it seems like 3-4 a year), but they're not all the way to #300 yet. They've put out 11 TPBs so far, so I'm guessing they're at the early #100s by now.
Jamie Delano has written everything so far that I've read. Up until this one arc, all of his stuff has been absolutely stellar and I've been completely loving it. I plan to read everything in the series. I've been really digging it so far.
Or I could just wait until they die and inherit it for free. Morbid, yes. Realistic and pragmatic, also yes.
I may or may not be a terrible person.

Funko can go fuck themselves as far as I am concerned.
I also just did something really fucking stupid and expensive. But totally in Baller-GAF range. But it's gonna take a while to come. I am also strongly considering buying the premium format Harley.

Messi did you buy the page.

Ah ha. Playing the long game. I can respect that.
I wasn't expecting two POPs at all so this is pretty fucking cool and makes me even happier to keep the subscription going. It being bi-monthly makes me care less about it being a bit more expensive because I'm in the UK.
In the process.

Remember you get a discount if you buy multiple. You're losing money if you don't take advantage of it.
What page did you buy?
Already in the process

Well, the worst of Hellblazer is in the 80's/early 90's issues (with some exceptions, obv), so if you're liking those you'll most likely absolutely love what comes later.
Think i should have a go at it again, iirc i stopped after the cabin fever arc. Or the snuff videos arc. Somewhere.

I sometimes get the impression GHs job is working with artist to get their commissions sold. How much is your cut?

Only when selling to Messi. And I can't disclose that information.
This is disgusting coming from the biggest bragger of them all

Pete Carroll Owns Me
I'm turned off by it too. But only because I don't have any money.
Thats why he left us? Where did he say this?
I haven't really been doing it lately. I'm just kind of tired of BallerGAF. I buy stuff quietly now.
He mentioned it a while back when Sillymonkey showed his awesome collection. It's more impressive when we don't shove it in everyone's faces. GK's collection is ginormous, dude owns his house, and he's dead silent about his shit other than those pics. I've got a lot of respect for it and I'm trying to gain that same sense of humility.

Uh you just mentioned your latest IST order yesterday
I have no issue with people placing info on the latest orders. I do it because a) I like getting feedback on items placed b) this is one of the few places that would understand these purchases. It's not like I think I'm some big shot or anything.
I also like providing feedback on other orders. It's another good way to drumb up discussions on comics and stuff outside the usual new comic impressions.
Edit: but I do try to balance it out. And keep it focused on the items at hand
Fair enough. Just remember it the next time you are bragging about owning your avatar ect
Lol
Nah not that. I'm talking about bragging about the amount spent vs. the actual items. I feel like you misinterpreted what I said. I was commending you for being humble.
I'm trying. It's a genuinely crappy trait and I'd like to kick it.

Ah yea. I get that part. I personally try to keep it more the love of the hobby, not anything else.
Yeah look at my edit. I think you misinterpreted that. I think it's cool that you have this "BallerGAF" collection yet you were dead silent about it. That's cooler to me than say me going "LOOK AT WHAT I GOT IT WAS A BILLION DOLLARS"
I'm resigning myself as the head of BallerGAF and I turned in my Girly card a few months ago

Kinda wish you all continued bragging. Makes me feel so wise about my spending habits.
Simply Sarah

Honestly, I'd rather not think about how much I've spent on comics (or really anything that forms what could be considered a collection) beyond the needed "Is my spending reasonable given my current and potential near to medium term financial situation?"

Man I wish JC would come back.
Haha so you guys think Greg Land is bad. This CBR article about swiping is great. This Dude Fabio Laguna just ripping off Jim Lee left and right in the 90s

This is sort of why I want to stop. I don't want people who join here to think that they need to make poor life choices to fit in.

Too late.
nah man, I seriously love hearing about what other people buy. Opens up new interests for me
JC left?
Wouldn't worry about it I'm sure he will get himself banned soon enough. He can't stay out of trouble.

Last night I got a Spider-Man toy that grows in water. I checked on him this morning and...
Fucking burn this with fire! It's alive.
I loved these as a kid though. I had one that was green and turned into a big slimey dinosaur.
