@khumpleetist: Sayang! About a year ago, what I bought in the Toy Con were mostly latest mini-series or storyarcs like Avengers: Disassembled, and the like.. Was thinking of buying the Identity Crisis series, but decided to buy Elektra: Assassin instead.. Dahil mas hard to find.. Most of the comics I bought (which you could read) are mostly old stuff.. And at very cheap prices.. It also surprised me dahil magaganda ang condition nila.. Madami pa daw nito sa storage room nung seller at willing siya ibenta.. Will definitely ask kung may mga Comic Con na susunod dahil kung magbebenta pa siya, pupunta ako.. :thumbsupsmiley:

 

@mazinger: Thanks for the kind words.. My Overstreet Price Guide (pocket book format) is almost 2 years old.. Much like you, hindi di naman ako updated sa mga presyo.. I bought mine at Fully Booked in SM North yata.. Importante din kasi na meron ka nito if you are heavily into Silver Age to Bronze Age Comics.. Dahil talagang pin-pointed dun kung saan ang mga 1st appearances ng mga characters and even a small event.. Like for example, Hulk vs. Thing.. If given the opportunity, kapag may makita ulit ako na mas updated at mas malaking guide, bibilhin ko na din..

 

BTW, here're my pulls for this week:

 

Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters #4

Dead Space #4

RASL #2

Secret Invastion: Fantastic Four #2

Wolverine #66 (Yep, I decided to get this.. )

 

Kakaunti ah! Hmmm... Nakakatakot naman ang up-coming weeks baka dumagsa ang nasa pulls ko..

I attended the toycon bro, saw the glasshouse group with Carlo Pagulayan, had some of my comics signed by him as well

I wasn't able to prepare sa expenses most of my money was spent sa toys. And I bought some good comics sa CO and sa other collector there

I even saw this booth selling silver age comics mga 1950's for 300-1000php haha

Next time iipon na talaga ako for this event. I'm expecting Leinil to be there kaso di ko siya nakita hehe

[khumpleetist]

I'm adding Sparks # 1 for this week.

Yung asawa ko kasi parati akong minamadali sa mga events na ganyan kaya I don't have the time to wait for the guest artists to come.. Good naman at nakapag-pa-sign ka ke Carlo Pagulayan.. Nice!!! :thumbsupsmiley:

 

Mahal dun sa nakita mo na nagbebenta ng Silver Age.. Maganda lang ang packaging niya, kaso hindi din maganda ang condition.. What I bought from that guy was the Omega Men #3 (first appearance of Lobo) and Superman #75 (Death).. Medyo mahal nga yung Superman but nahihirapan na akong maghanap ng issue na ito eh.. Yung nabilhan ko ng mga old comics at P50-100 bucks ang gold mine.. Magaganda pa ang condition lalo na dun sa mga issues ng Hulk.. Its just a pity na kakaunti na talaga ang die-hard comics fans dahil kung talagang madaming old-comic-book-fans ubos na ang mga yun at hindi ko na siguro aabutan ang mga iyon dahil late na akong dumating nung Saturday.. Ironically, pagdating ko ng Sunday andun pa yung mga kailangan ko..

 

I was actually tempted to buy some Iron Man Toys there (Iron Monger is one) but decided against it, dahil madami naman akong kilalang nagbebenta ng toys and I could get that kahit hindi sa ToyCon.. I think I have around 5 friends who had stalls there that sell toys.. Kaya nga napabili ako nung Mattel na Tim Duncan dahil ti-next ako nung isa na meron daw siya nung matagal ko ng hanap eh.. hahaha..

 

Yung comics kasi, iilan na lang talaga ang nagbebenta ng back issues.. And the good thing was that I think I only spent

3-3,5K last weekend and for those comics I felt like I won in the Lotto.. hahaha....

I think this came out 95-96.. And I felt that I needed to get all the cross-overs and titles.. Kaya kinuha ko lahat.. Isang buong box ng comics napuno sa apat na bwan.. Puros Xmen na walang katorya-torya.. Diyoskopo! In contrast to nyok's take, I hated this storyline.. I felt that no significant ramnifications came afterwards and just gave Marvel tons of money by milking the readers' pockets (including mine)..

[revi]

Here are the pictures of the comics I bought last Sat and Sunday..

 

Hulk 162 - First Appearance of WenDiGo

Hulk 122 - Early Hulk Vs. Thing (1969 issue)

more..

 

Giant Size Chillers #1 - first appearance of Lilith (Dracula's daughter)

Conan the Barbarian #23 - first appearance of Red Sonja

[revi]

more..

 

Elektra Assassin #s 1-8 (Full Set) --- when I saw this on the shelves and was offered for Php1K.. Naglaway ako dahil isa ito sa mga hinahanap ko coz it was written by Frank Miller.. And most of the issues are still in Mint Condition.. :thumbsupsmiley:

contemporary books naman tayo..

 

Spawn #1

Simpsons #1 :upside:

 

Di ko na kinuhanan ng pics yung mga iba..

[revi]

Just finished reading the recent Previews (comics shipping for August)..

 

I looked at all the tie-ins for both DC and Marvel and I don't know but I feel that both companies are milking our money to buy every damn tie-in.. Parang lahat necessary.. Although, if you look at them thoroughly, you could see na hindi lahat kailangan..

 

Yung Spiderman na tie-in mukhang wala naman si Web-Head eh.. Puros characters lang sa Brand New Day lang ang andun.. I have my eyes set on Secret Invasion: Inhumans tie-in.. Black Bolt has been missing since the Illuminati series and I have been wondering if he is dead or what? Plus may teaser sa Previews na this series might be leading to something good in 2009..

 

Sa Final Crisis naman.. Sobrang mahal ng mga tie-ins.. Tapos ang haba nung iba.. I have my eyes on the Grant Morrison tie-ins, though.. Kasi siya naman ang nagsulat ng FC, so baka nasa sa kanya din yung mga important tie-ins..

 

I looked at all the Batman RIP tie-ins.. I am not keen on getting them, unless, I see in ign.com na kailangan siya.. Need to read reviews first before I get them..

 

I decided to get Millar's 1985 and Geoff Johns' Braniac saga in Action Comics.. Yung 1985 mukha ngang necessary dahil malaking repercussions daw ang mga sinusulat ni Millar for the future.. I am willing to take a shot.. Yun naman sa Action Comics, mukhang may malaking event na pi-nre-prepare si Geoff Johns for Superman for 2008, and I think it would begin with this tale (daw).. Keeping my fingers crossed na maganda ang kalabasan sa dalawang sets na ito..

 

For indie titles naman.. I have my eyes glued on the new Avatar Garth Ennis comicbook called Crossed.. Horrific comicbook.. Cross between the 28 Days/Weeks series and I Am Legend.. Mukhang maganda itong 10 issue limited series na ito..

Oi bro nice to see u earlier. Panalo na naman ang nakuha (X-Factor) mo kanina! :thumbsupsmiley: Inggit na inggit na nga ako sa 'yo sa back issue hunting mo pero di ko pa kaya sa ngayon lalo na at may summer event pa ng Big Two. Lam mo naman na gusto ko na ngang kunin yung 1985, FF at Wolverine pero ala talaga. Pagtapos ng SI at FC siguro baka makasingit ako kahit paunti unti. Baka may mga kakaiba ka ding CD collection dahil natanong mo ko dahil sa t-shirt ko, pa cd burn naman diyan!

 

Btw, good decision yang pagkuha mo ng Action Comics kasi mukhang may impact yan sa FC kasi si Geoff Johns ang kapartner in crime ni Grant Morisson.

 

For indies I got my sights on the Warhammer and Warhammer 40K series. I think I will like it a lot.

Been searching for that first issue of X-Factor since my High School days, bro.. Sayang nga at wala yung #6 (just like what you said) dahil dun yung first appearance ni Apocalypse.. Medyo mahal ang benta ni Sandy (CO) sa mga back issues niya but the condition of his comics are superb..

 

Medyo lie-low kasi ako sa basketball cards collection ko, so I decided to get both Action Comics and 1985..

 

OT: With regards to my CD Collection.. haha.. I really don't have much coz as you know, our type of music does not really each our local shores quite ofen (lalo na ngayon na iba ang uso).. But I do have lotsa bootleg copies from "nocturnal records" (a Recto-based store) when they still had a shop here in Marikina.. haha.. Although I do have a number of my own original stuff from way back then and some new original stuff now.. Its interesting that we share a lot of common stuff, bro..

[revi]

Just saw the weekly comicbook list of Comic Odyssey and I think I just pissed my pants.. haha.. Ang daming darating na comics ko next week.. Plus, I feel that Garth Ennis is doing a lot of books for Avatar.. Maganda ang feeling ko dun sa NO HERO niya na series but I can't get it anymore coz I am getting so many indie titles.. But definitely, I will get his THE CROSSED series, which is also from Avatar, this August (as early as now, baka i-order ko na ito sa Comic Odyssey).. But knowing me, who knows if I will continue No Hero.. haha..

 

Sa August kasi madaming lalabas na Horror-themed comics.. I am keeping an eye on Image's Golly and The Roberts.. So, sa ngayon, medyo hindi ko muna kukunin yung mga hero-based indies na bago.. Baka nga lang kunin ko na din yung mga iilang mga #0's.. Yung Conan: the Cimmerian and yung No Hero for this week.. 50 bucks each lang naman eh.. I just hope it does not make me buy the whole series.. hahaha... But most probably, hindi ko itutuloy yung sa Conan..

 

Here are my pulls:

 

Captain America #39

Fantastic Four #558

Final Crisis #2

Green Lantern #32

Hulk #4

Marvel: 1985 #2

Man With No Name #2

Mighty Avengers #15

New Avengers #42

Superpowers #4

Uncanny XMen #499

XMen: Legacy #213

 

Tentative:

 

Conan: The Cimmerian #0 .. 50 pesos

No Hero #0 .. 50 lang din..

 

Ugh! I think sa Marvel and DC comics pa lang.. Aabot na ako ng lampas ng budget ko for the week..

[ianne19]

cno na sa inyo nakakita o nakabasa na ng Fantastic Four with Superman... un ung nanghingi sila ng tulong ata kay Superman para talunin si Galactus

@revi

 

OT: It's nice to know we have a lot of things common! Yung dalawang nakameet ko nung FCBD eh ganyan din ang taste sa music. I got some casettes way back na nakuha ko sa Tandem pero nawala na eh. Pa CD copy naman ako kung may time ka kung OK lang. Hehehe!

 

 

Nakita ko din yung The Crossed, kakatakot.

 

Here's my list:

 

 

AVENGERS INITIATIVE #14

FINAL CRISIS #2

GREEN LANTERN #32

HULK #4

MIGHTY AVENGERS #15

MS MARVEL #28

NEW AVENGERS #42

PROJECT SUPERPOWERS #4

SECRET INVASION RUNAWAYS YOUNG AVENGERS #1

STAR WARS DARK TIMES #12

UNCANNY X-MEN #499

WOLVERINE ORIGINS #26

X-MEN LEGACY #213

 

 

I would've added Conan: The Cimmerian #0 and No Hero #0 but I'll be compelled to get Conan since nung highschool days ko eh nagustuhan ko yung storya na nabasa kong Conan. I've 50/50 prediction that No Hero will be a hit. As much as I want to get #0 eh feeling ko na kelangang makumpleto mo yung buong series. Just browsing the article eh kelangang may issue #1 ka din after #0 just for key issue purposes (First Appearances) kaya ayoko ng subukang kunin yung #0 (Btw, positive reaction 'to at hindi negative kasi kung kaya ko lang eh kukunin ko din yung #0)

 

I decided to include Wolverine: Origins #26 for Daken's origin since I have his first appearance.

 

 

Mahal ang benta sa CO sa opinyon ko kasi comic retailer yung nagbebenta at collector din at the same time. Pero kung pinapaubos lang talaga eh mas mura katulad nung sinabi mo sa akin na nameet mo sa Toycon. Regardless, happy din ako sa CO pag may nakukuha akong back issues paminsan minsan pero more on glossy paper na yung mga kinukuha ko. Naisip ko tuloy yung Locke & Key #1 na ang mahal. Last time akong nagpunta (2 mos ago) sa DK eh merong kopya eh. Try ko ngang pumunta by 3rd or 4th wk ng July.

 

 

 

 

@ianne19

 

Bro, wala akong idea sa team-up na sinasabi mo at indi din ako sigurado. Baka naman si Superman at Silver Surfer ang nag team-up?

The problem is I dunno how to transfer music CD to CD.. haha.. Engot ba? Just getting old, bro.. Not really updated with a lot of new stuff, I guess.. Atsaka sira yung CD Rom ko.. Ang gumagana lang ay yung CD-RW.. Ang nakakainis nga ngayon eh wala na akong mabilhan ng mga bootleg CD copies dahil wala ng branch ang Nocturnal Records dito sa Marikina.. May mga bago pa naman album ang Deicide.. Also looking for this rendition of Slayer's Dead Skin Mask of Dark Funeral.. Ayaw ko naman pumunta sa Recto para lang bumili ng mga CD..

 

Ang dami mo ding comics this week (mas madami ka pa nga eh).. I saw your review of SI: WHO DO YOU TRUST? (in the hobbies thread) and I felt like I should get an issue.. But my instinct tells me that Marvel is just trying to milk each dime we have.. So pass pa din ako.. After the FF SI tie-in ang 90% chance na kukunin ko sa SI ay yung Inhumans limited series..

 

Mahal talaga ang back-issues sa Odyssey bro.. That is why I try to limit what I get there.. But minsan dahil sa mahirap hanapin yung ibang mga back issues, kagat na din ako..

Di naman bro. Naiintindihan ko naman kung di mo masyadong nakakalikot PC mo. Hiramin ko na lang sana mga CD mo pero ala akong PC eh. Hehehe. Siguro magkasing dami ang tayo ng kinuha last week. So you've read my comment on the other thread. Well, I was really surprised by the decision of "Captain Marvel" to aid the invasion but I think there's another twist coming. Same thing w/Beast. Even Wonder Man told him he doesn't trust himself (Wonder Man) if he's the real deal. We better add Ben Reilly. Hehehe.

 

Marvel's August Previews is really full of SI tie-ins. I think iilan lang yung hindi. They're really milking the cow. Di bale, pagtapos nitong mga event eh lie low na muna.

sakit sa bulsa talaga mga TIE INs ..lalo na pag di pala masyado related sa main story......
