Oh my. :O
My wallet is weeping already.
Just read another couple chapters of A Dame to Kill For. This is so much better than The Hard Goodbye. I was getting prepared to be slightly disappointed by Sin City in general after not caring for The Hard Goodbye at all, but A Dame to Kill For is great stuff. I can't even put my finger on what the main difference is between the stories, but A Dame to Kill For is way more gripping and interesting.
The art is pretty stunning at times, too. Some of the panels are just fantastic.
Not bad. I wonder if it'll be a little less since Damian is a bit smaller than most statues. I'll definitely consider making it my first statue. We'll see.

How does Sideshows payments plan work?
Wow. Just Wow.

Depending on the price, you're required to pay a minimum of such-and-such an amount per month. It's usually not bad. Like $50 per month or so. Sentinel is a gazillion dollars, so that one has a minimum of like, $81 per month.
Cameron Stewart and Dave Stewart on colors. a GOAT combo.
Shit could be the sequel to twilight and id read it with that art team

It appears that we have a fundamentally different definition of trolling. I cannot "troll" Quitely, as he isn't here to see my comments.
Stating my opinion that Quitely sucks and backing it up with examples is not trolling. It's...stating my opinion. I'm not sure what steps I'm missing in between that are confusing you.
You are tilting at windmills here but want to congratulate yourself for not being passive-aggressive? I'll give it a try!
"Some posters" (e.g. you) can't diferentiate between opinions and trolling. If people get personally offended by the opinions of others, then I feel sorry for them and wish them the best in their lifelong journey towards maturity.
People bash on comics I like all the time. I respect their opinions and get on with my day.

Watch the face turn out horribly. That's okay, no one's going to be looking there anyway.
I like the boobies
Huh, didn't even know there was going to be a face. Has that been confirmed?

Statue GAF, what constitutes "Premium Format" for these things? Is it just a lot more time and attention to details, or are they made out of different materials?

Really? Because that looks more like a DD than an A+.
I'm buying it because I like Power Girls feelings.

Fuuuuuck. Read through Hellboy Boy In Hell volume 1 this evening. Ugh. Still digesting, but so so good. Finally too, so many answers about Edward Grey after all these years. "
". How tragic, although as Edward says himself, other doors were opened to him. And what about the three things HB is still destined to do, one of which Edward took on himself?
. Also, as always, the greater shared world paying off - It's a bit too coincidental that
occurred in Chicago - this must be the same place Howards and Johann eventually visited in the BPRD abyss of time/wasteland series. Sure enough, that sword Howards is lugging around did pop up in the witchfinder series, should of guess they were going to go there.
Some great stuff with the big guy himself too, some extremely surprising things
, and even teasing HB's
This volume seemed like the most concrete answery story since the island. In HB's words "Holy Crap. Didn't see that coming."
Just love it love it love. Amazing to have Mike back on art too, I miss Fegredo but it seems right too.
He cursed me that I should live forever, then tore me to pieces
Any chance HB can't remember killing Satan because Edward did it? Perhaps the trade off for helping HB was to take him one step closer to his denied destiny
Gray's demise
Some great stuff with the big guy himself too, some extremely surprising things
Azeroth being ate by the leviathan!
sister - was this the lady with azeroth in the midnight circus then?
Just love it love it love. Amazing to have Mike back on art too, I miss Fegredo but it seems right too.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Somebody paid up for one of those Bermejo commissions. The one for NYCC last year went for 5500

All of the shit he's been posting to Twitter has been amazing. I'd love to get my hands on his SDCC prints.
I like to feel them too :/
You pay a non refundable fee at the time of pre-order (usually $40) and then you set up your own monthly payment. Take for example the Jean Grey premium format releasing next year, I paid the deposit and my monthly payments won't start until Novemeber. I set mine up to come out every month on the 5th, so that when a statue is released, I get them earlier in the month vs later. You also end up paying a little more that way though.
Premium format usually indicates that there's some sort of fabric used, gives it a more realistic approach. Comiquettes are just solid polystone.
The statues are also MASSIVE

Sentinel is as big as the average toddler!
Yes. You have to be careful when selecting them. If you don't have an area set up correctly they look awful. It's always best to have a plan mapped out in regards to what you like, what scale is appropriate for you, and what type of collection you want to have. I would say that Cheska's lady statues are a good example of it being "done right."

Looks like that is it. Their search is a bit shit as are some of their listings. Decent prices though and reasonable delivery times so far.

Look at those double-D's. You know you want those on display in your home.
I read all three books. I liked them, but I did get a bit bored by the third book. Good series, overall. TV show has been really good so far.
Cheska and Jedey actually wrote some interesting posts about subjective tastes and objectivism but what we are doing now is just taking jabs at one another, man. I don't like this because a) I don't find it very fun and b) my English skills are not up to snuff so I'll always be in a losing position
Let's just share a hug and let it go. What do you say?
Thanks! I'll give it a read. I'm enjoying the show, just a few cliché parts in terms of the dialogue.

Covers are great -- inside art, not so much.
I have absolutely no idea what's going on there, but it's awesome.
