Snyder / Liefeld - Twitter Pissing Contest

Can't we all just get along? Apparently not all of us.

Current Batman writer Scott Snyder and Deathstroke writer / artist Rob Liefeld mince a few words over on Twitter about what drives Batman comic sales; the character himself or the writers?

The above images were direct messages between the two comic writers, which were later publicized by Liefeld. Of course Liefeld is true to his world and the pissing contest moves from being a private matter to one that all of their followers can see and add their two cents into.

From where we stand both work on titles that we enjoy, both have had their up and down issues, and this matter in no way affects how we will continue to purchase our comics. It did however provide us with some rather entertaining tweets though.

Arrow Guest Stars We Want To See

In October the CW will be premiering their new show Arrow; based off of the DC Comics character Green Arrow.

We already know that Dinah Lance (Black Canary) will be appearing in several episodes, and the trailer has given us a glimpse of Deathstroke's mask, so we can conclude that we'll be seeing him too.

But here's our list of Heroes and Villains we'd like to see make an appearance in Arrow...

Arsenal / Red Arrow	Deadshot
Grifter	Huntress
Lobo	Manhunter
Nightwing	Raven
Star Sapphire	Zatanna

Who do you hope to see make an Arrow appearance?

Live Action WildC.A.T.S Movie

Okay so this isn't something that's actually happening, but this is something I really would die to see; I grew up on the WildC.A.T.S cartoon and have quite an extensive collection of their comics, so I'm kinda a big fan.

This would also be a good opportunity to get another superhero team out there to compete with Marvel's X-Men or Avengers, and maybe even give DC a little bit of a push towards silver screen dominance (if done right that is).

It's not like the entire team is made up of unknowns either. Grifter just appeared in the Lois Lane Flashpoint series and now has a solo series that premiered with DC's New52 lineup, as does Voodoo.

In the past members Zealot, Spartan, and Warblade have also had their own individual series, so fans have had other opportunities to get to know these characters as well.

The only thing I ask is that WildC.A.T.S. creator Jim Lee gets final say in everything; script, actors/actresses, music, EVERYTHING. Jim Lee knows his creation, so it's only fair that he gets final say.

Now to find a way to make this happen...hmmm...

Anyone else out there like to see a live action WildC.A.T.S. film?

Garage Sale Score!

This past Saturday (11/19/11) I took the time to hit a few garage sales in my area and managed to stumble upon one location where I hit the jackpot.

Apparently this guy was moving and was selling his entire online business; which just so happened to be comic books, action figures, and lots of various cards.

Unfortunately though, this guy still thought he could get top dollar for some of this stuff, and wouldn't budge on some of his prices at all. The problem here is that most of the action figures were in smashed up packages, and a good number of sports cards were scattered about on the floors being stepped on; no one in their right mind would ever pay top dollar for this.

On the other hand the comic books were all in pristine condition; which means he wanted a lot of money for some of them. He did have a fifty cent bin though, so take a guess at where I scored.

I controlled my spending though and only dropped $4.50 on a single action figure and four comics.

Check them out...


Now like I said I could have dropped a lot more money, but the couple of other figures I wanted were crushed pretty bad and though only $2.50 a piece I couldn't see that on damaged goods.

He also had a binder of Marvel trading cards, but he wanted $20 for it, and only really wanted 5 or 6 of the cards and again just couldn't see myself spending the money.

But I'm still happy with what I got, and he had tons of stuff so there is a pretty good chance that he'll be back at it again this upcoming weekend, and maybe he'll be willing to come down on some of his prices.

Here's hoping.

This week was my week to shine. After discussing several different series with some of the regulars, we ended up on the topic of the Marvel Civil War.

Now I haven't read every single issue of the Civil War series, but I have read enough to know what happens. So for 20 minutes or so, the floor was all mine. It was kinda nice because usually I'm the one getting schooled.

Of course the whole time I was talking I was sifting through the freebies, which I scored pretty well on (well a particular Daredevil / Shi issue anyways).

And here's the rest of the swag...

In and out, that's become a standard part of the run these past couple of weeks, which is quite sad because I miss the conversations and the flat out B.S.

Oh well I still came away with some pretty good comics.

To The Comic Book Store #42

So this week's run to the comic book store was a tad bit on the disappointing side.

Why?

Well apparently as it turns out, I'm broke.

Oh well at least I was still able to pick up some free comics.


And that's it for this week. No WildC.A.T.S. action figures, still no Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic, or anything else new and exciting.

The important part though is I had fun, and that's what really counts.
