TEQUILAJOE Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 QUESTION!!!!! how did captian marvel get his power and what is his weakness? Quote Link to comment
cheeselogger Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I have around 12 boxes of comic books (I stopped collecting when I started my NBA Card Collection which was in 1998).. I stopped collecting because my line of interest was more of the story line rather than the artwork.. nung bandang huli kasi puros baduy ang story lines eh. That's why I liked Jim Shooter so much and Stan Lee.. The old Marvel comics circa 70's to around 1995 were great.. even without Jim Lee, Liefeld, Mc Farlane... I would still buy them because of the great storylines and ideas.. The death of Gwen Stacy was one of my fave storylines and eventually the death of the original Green Goblin.. but when Norman Osborn resurfaced during the 1990's I got so disappointed because I thought to myself: wala na ba silang maisip na ibang magandang storyline.. bumaduy eh.. Pati nga X-men nung bandang huli bumaduy na eh.. I have tons of comics talaga.. I have the limited series Secret Wars I (my fave), I have the Batman saga where he was broken by Bane, and then Azrael and Nightwing took ever the mantle of the Bat (isang box din ito).. Xmen #1 - 95 yata and Uncanny X-Men #283 - around 390.. andito yung X-ecutioner's song, the first appearance of Bishop, etc. The Wedding of Spiderman and Superman.. the death of Superman and a lot more.. I even have some Valiant (X-O Manowar, Turok), Image (Team 7, Wetworks, Stone), Defiant (Warriors of Plasm), Malibu (Prime - one of my faves by Breyfogle).. may mga Lady Death and Vampirella pa dito na nakatabi.. But my fave character is Spidey.. iba kasi ang storyline nito.. kaya nga naging flagship character ng Marvel ito eh.. the Green Goblin saga was great (sa Marvel Tales ko nabasa ito), the Kraven series was good, and especially the Hobgoblin saga.. okay dun yung Venom and Carnage.. kaso nung huli naging masyadong overexposed si Venom and Carnage.. kaya biglang nawala interest ko sa Spiderman.. Top 5 Comic Characters of all time: 1) Spiderman2) Batman3) Wolverine4) Capt. America5) Superman All in all, Marvel fan ako keysa sa DC.. iba talaga mag-create ng character si Stan "the Man" Lee.. Hulk, Iron Man, Daredevil, X-Men.. the list goes on and on.. .. pang anim na siguro si Thor.. to the fans of Thor.. maganda rin yung pagbabalik ni Thor after Thunderstrike (Eric Masterson) took the helm.. ganda ng story.. Sana bumalik ang interest ko sa comics but only if they go back to the roots --- yung mga matitinding storylines.. hindi yung old Image style na pangit ang story ang ganda ng artwork.. kasi ang essence ng comic books naman talaga ay easy reading di ba? hindi nice pruos nice art.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> halos pareho lang pala tayong time nag-quit sa pag-collect ng comics eh kaso di ganon ka-extensive collection ko tulad ng sa yo. karamihan sa mga comics ko eh galing sa booksale, pero meron din akong mga maganda tulad nung X-Men #1 (yung una nilang "expansion" ng Uncanny X-men) na ginawa nilang nagre-revolve sa X-men Blue team yung storyline tapos yung Uncanny X-men comics naman sa X-men Gold team. medyo hanggang dun lang ako sa Marvel comics kasi lumabas yung Image non tapos nagandahan ako sa kwento at drawing nung Stormwatch kaya yun ang sinubukan kong kolektahin. kaso naka-dalawang issue lang din ako kasi ang mahal talaga ng issue at medyo naaliw na din ako sa NBA cards after non.. hehehe pero nabasa ko yung Death of Superman collection tapos inabutan ko pa naman din yung storyline sa Batman na nabaldado siya ni Bane tapos sinira(?) ni Joker yung Wayne empire kasi binuko niya yung true identity ni Batman... kaka-miss yung simple pero astig na mga kwento dati, nag-simula akong di na magandahan sa comics nung masyado na nilang pinahaba yung kwento ng Age Of Apocalypse: After Xavier (mali ata yung title) series nung X-men. maganda sa simula pero parang naging dragging na lang yung kwento kaya naasar ako. pero I'll always love the characters I've grown to known in the comics world. the top 5 "lesser" known characters that I really like are (not in any specific order):1) Cannonball2) Sunspot3) Blue Beetle4) Guy Gardner5) Havoc Quote Link to comment

I am still collecting.. rookies and si Tim Duncan ang collection ko.. Siyempre Ginobili, and Parker.. I am looking for cards of the rookies this season.. hindi na kasi ako nakakapunta every Saturday sa Galleria to trade and buy from the collectors and mga "hagad" sa Courtside..

BreastmaN Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Are there hard-core collectors among you gentlemen??? I'm selling signed, remarked, and/or slabbed comics. Kindly PM me for your wants and needs... I may have a signed copy of the issue your looking for. An example would be Identity Crisis #1, Ive got copies signed by artist Michael Bair (one copy remarked with a Elongated Man head sketch, and one with a Green-Arrow head sketch) and cover artist Michael Turner. Kindly PM me for your wants and needs... I may have a signed copy of the issue your looking for. Quote Link to comment
revi Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 For those who are after bargain old comic books: I saw boxes of comic books in my local Filbars shop (Riverbank) that are selling for 50 for two issues.. old comics (circa early 90s downwards).. was able to buy a 1971 Sub Mariner comic book.. in fairly good condition.. :thumbsupsmiley: I even saw a Turok issue that was made not by Valiant but by Dell.. 25 cents nga eh.. Heaven sa akin ang old comics kasi.. I am more interested nowadays in reading the old issues of Marvel --- the older the better.. I am not too interested in the new storylines.. (as I have said in my previous posts).. Quote Link to comment
orionpax Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 in Filbars Makati, i was able to buy a Daredevil issue # 4 for 60 pesos Quote Link to comment
cheeselogger Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 So Mr. Cheeselogger.. do you still collect NBA Cards? I am still collecting.. rookies and si Tim Duncan ang collection ko.. Siyempre Ginobili, and Parker.. I am looking for cards of the rookies this season.. hindi na kasi ako nakakapunta every Saturday sa Galleria to trade and buy from the collectors and mga "hagad" sa Courtside.. One of my top "lesser" known characters in comics was Damage.. from DC..<{POST_SNAPBACK}> sorry bro, I think I only collected it during the '94-'95 and '95-'96 season and I only bought the Skybox brand. hence, I don't have any TD's or KG's... anyway, I just remembered one of the storylines from Marvel about this deadly virus (Legacy, I think)infecting mutants only. any of you guys know what happened to this story?

damon30 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 sorry bro, I think I only collected it during the '94-'95 and '95-'96 season and I only bought the Skybox brand. hence, I don't have any TD's or KG's... anyway, I just remembered one of the storylines from Marvel about this deadly virus (Legacy, I think)infecting mutants only. any of you guys know what happened to this story?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> The Legacy Virus story arc concerned a deadly virus that affected only mutants. The story arc involved Magneto wanting to mutate the virus so that it would affect only humans, leaving mutants unharmed. Of course, the X-Men opposed him in this although Magneto was partially successful. Suddenly, the Legacy virus affected both humans and mutants. It was only through the sacrifice of Dr Moira MacTaggart (for the humans) and Colossus (for the mutants) that a cure was found for the Legacy virus. This is the story arc where Beast finds a cure for the virus however a mutant must die in order to "activate" the cure. Against the advice of the X-Men, Colossus injects himself with the cure, thereby "activating" the serum and providing replicable vaccines for all mutants. Quote Link to comment
