[reachard]

Bibitawan niya ang ilan at the right price.. Sure ako diyan.. Hindi lang naman iisa ang autographed Turner niyan eh.. Cris likes to get a lot of CGC autographed comics, kaya I am sure hindi lang isa ang Turner niyan.. :thumbsupsmiley:

sabagay madami nga atang turner yun

sa ebay hirap na din bumili :boo:

[mazinger]

Final Crisis REQUIEM is better than FINAL CRISIS itself......quite touching. Peter Tomasi is good.

 

btw, CO galle branch may problem yata sa telephone line sa credit card nila kahapon so Cash ang binayad ko yesterday.....kaya mga bros .....magdala kayo ng cash in case sira pa ang line this few days.......linya sa telepono daw sabi kahapon ang may problem.

I was thinking like norbyela na Comic Quest yung shop kse sa CO eh may bag and board talaga. May spoiler tag dito sa forum, try mo lang isearch yung option sa Quick Access menu na nasa left side ng scren kapag nagtatype ka ng reply. Andami ko ng backlog kaya hindi ko pa nababasa yung SI #4 pero pilitin kong makakuha ng kopya next Friday.

 

Into t-shirts ka rin pala. Sa CQ ako nakaiskor ng mga shirts ko, bad trip nga kasi gusto kong kunin yung red shirt na Supergirl #1 cover ni Michael Turner dati sa Megamall pero nabili na agad. Sayang, ireregalo ko pa sana sa pinsan kong babae.

[khumpleetist]

@mazinger

 

Bro, bukas pa ba yung CATS sa Greenhills? Sayang yung mga comics na sinabi mo nung magsasara na sila. Napapadalawang isip tuloy ako sa Booster Gold kasi wala pa ako nung #10 at nung latest na #1000000. Tapos ba yung arc sa latest issue or itutuloy sa #11?

 

Thanks for the credit card info. :thumbsupsmiley:

Bro, hindi ako nagfocus sa Hack/Slash pero update kita next week pag dumaan ako sa DK. Kukunin ko kasi yung Power Girl poster ni Adam Hughes (variant to JSA Classified #1) na nakalimutan ko na. Nabasa ko nga na magkakamovie ito at ewan ko kung into cartoons ka din eh recommend ko yung Igor from IDW at yung prequel ata nung Transformers 2 na Reign Of Starscream both from IDW. Hindi lang ako sigurado kung lumabas na yung Igor pero yung ROS eh lumabas na.

 

Nag CCG ka din ba bro? Gusto kong mangolekta ng ganyan pero hanggang dun lang ako sa regular version. Masyadong mahal yung Signature Series eh pero wala pa akong balak bilhin sa ngayon kse balak kong ipa-CGC yung mga key issues ko.

 

On a side note, parang may similarities nga ang approach ni Silvestri at Turner but I prefer Silvestri's art. Btw, during the 90s ako naging active sa comics, dito naglabasan yung andaming variants at dito nga din lumabasa yung trend na art ang susubaybayan pero hindi ang istorya. I was young and didn't know what's going on w/the comic industry at paminsan minsan lang ang bili ko ng comics, di ko alam na turning point pala ito ng hobby natin at may mga nagsasabi na ito ang simula ng Modern Age.

 

I'm getting FC: Rogue's Revenge pero ign ka na magrely bro kasi di ko pa makukuha agad sa CO.

 

@reachard

 

 

Oi bro, nag-CCGC ka na din ba? Ano na meron ka na CGC? Astig ah!

[khumpleetist]

@norbyela

 

Ei bro, di ka nagpareserve ng Mice Templar? Sabagay, hindi mo nasimulan eh. Tagal pa ng Action Comics #875 bro at mukha namang may mga kopya pa ng #866 kaya pde ka pang makahabol.

[khumpleetist]

My list for this week:

 

 

FINAL CRISIS ROGUES REVENGE #1

HELLBLAZER #246

INCREDIBLE HERCULES #119

MICE TEMPLAR #5

MIGHTY AVENGERS #16

TANGENT SUPERMANS REIGN #5

X-FACTOR #33

X-FORCE #5

[khumpleetist]

I only got MICE TEMPLAR #1, yun lang. di na ko makahabol. kasi marami nasa list ko; tsaka may upcoming pa na dadating titles. What's in Action Comics #866? Because I was thinking that I'll start it like what I did in the Batman title. What do you guys think?

 

Just got the SECRET INVASION #4 yesterday. Astig ng bata. I'm gonna get siguro yung planung series ng NICK FURY, SPIDER-WOMAN, DEADPOOL, DARK TOWER: TREACHERY, tsaka may isa pa eh. i forgot. (kaya di ko kaya ang MICE TEMPLAR eh).

 

Dun nagsimula yung current arc kaya pde ka pang humabol. I'm getting Deadpool kasi tie-in siya ng SI tas yung Dark Tower: Treachery eh nagdadalawang isip ako.

[mazinger]

khumpleetist, matagal na rin sarado ang C.A.T.S greenhills ......yes, natapos na rin ang isang arc ni booster gold sa issue 1,000,000 . ( spoilers : tawag ni rip kay boost " dad " sa huli at nabuhay uli yun kapatid nyan babae ) and mukhang very promising pa mga upcoming arc may preview na dyan si batgirl, elongated man, legion of superheroes, etc. kaya di ko muna drop to.....hehehehe :upside:

 

alam nyo ang daming kong character na di kilala sa Marvel........kc yun SI#4 di ko kilala mga kasama ni nick furry........san ba nanggaling mga yun? pero ok yun story. collect ko lang sa MARVEL yun HULK , INVICIBLE IRON MAN , THOR and Captain America # 25 onwards......so halos new ako rito ....ang mga kilala ko lang yung mga before CIVIL WAR . I'm more a DC person... :thumbsupsmiley:

[khumpleetist]

Can you talk me out in not getting the Dark Tower: Treachery? Please.... convince me. Okay, hahabol me ng Action Comics. PLEASE SING "Congratulations!" (hehehe).

 

Anung Jobs nyo?

 

 

Kasi sabi nga ni revi eh baka masira yung character dahil comic after comic ang lumalabas pagkatapos ng unang series ng Dark Tower. Ok pa naman siya base sa mga review pero baka kasi magasgas na pagdating sa DT: Treachery pero at least panalo ka pa din sa art.

 

Pareho kami ng trabaho ni reachard. :zorro:

Talaga? Kasi alam ko nung nirenovate yung Greenhills eh lumipat sila ng pwesto sa 2nd flr ata pero sabi mo nga eh nagsara na din. I'm glad natapos na yung arc sa last issue pero kahit hindi ko pa nababasa eh mukhang hindi pa din tapos kasi nga dahil sa "dad" issue and I'm still contemplating.

 

Hindi ko pa din nababasa yung SI#4 pero ang kung ang tinutukoy mo eh yung grupo ni Nick Fury sa last page ng SI#3 eh mga bagong characters pa lang sila. Hindi ko alam kung bago nga lahat pero sigurado ako na halos lahat sila eh bago at yung unang appearance nila eh majority sa Mighty Avengers #13.

 

I'm more a Marvel person at 2005 lang ako nagsimula sa DC and I'm following Justice League Of America, Justice Society Of America, Green Lantern & Green Lantern Corps sa regular series para sa DC.

Try to read Mighty Avengers #13. Dun pinakita kung pano binuo yung team.

I'm getting FC: Rogue's Revenge pero ign ka na magrely bro kasi di ko pa makukuha agad sa CO.

 

Hay naku! Para ngang mapapabili ako ng Rogue's Revenge eh.. Still having 2nd thoughts because of its price and the notion that it might not really something that is necessary to have.. Balak ko kasi kunin yung mga Morrison tie-ins ng FC but they are also kinda expensive.. Well, ign will be the one to convince me.. haha..

 

BTW, I did not get Detective Comics last week.. The Hush storyline was kinda "pilit.." I browsed the comic and I hated the art.. Might get the Robin-RIP-tie-in though, kasi Chuck Dixon ito at two part storyline lang..

 

Not really a fan of cartoon-based books bro.. Di ako interesado dun sa mga Transformers na lumalabas ngayon.. Gusto ko yung mga luma na comics ng Transformers from Marvel.. Tingnan ko yung Igor.. Thanks, bro..

 

The 1990's had its good run of indie comics, bro.. But it fizzled out because of marketing ploys.. Masyadong nagasgas ang mga characters and to make matters worse, overprinted ang karamihan ng comics noon.. Look at Spiderman #1 at XMen #1.. Pati na din Spawn #1.. Although, they are all nice to have but they are definitely not rare.. Pati tuloy Valiant naapektuhan.. Magaganda pa naman ang storylines nung umpisa nito (yun ang sabi nila)..

 

RE: CGCs..

 

As I have said before, I am not too keen on putting my issues in hard plastic kasi from time to time, gusto ko pa din tingnan sila eh.. Maganda if you would collect CGC signed books, coz hindi mo nman talaga babasahin ang mga ito eh, kundi for display purposes.. I don't have any CGC signed books but I have two signed stuff - authenticated - already.. Start pa lang ako sa ganito - naimplwensyahan ako nung mga barkada ko sa NBA Cards, coz one of them collects signed comicbooks.. Kaso di naman binabasa mga comics, hahaha..

 

Can you talk me out in not getting the Dark Tower: Treachery? Please.... convince me. Okay, hahabol me ng Action Comics. PLEASE SING "Congratulations!" (hehehe).

 

Anung Jobs nyo?

 

I have my own small time business..

 

Now with Dark Tower: Treachery.. I've decided na kukunin ko ito dahil ayaw kong mabungi yung collection ko.. I really just hope that Marvel won't overexpose Robert Deschain and won't compromise a good storyline over dollars (bilis kasi nila nilabas ang 3rd part eh!).. I will get both the Stand and this series.. Might even get the variant of the Stand.. Gamble pareho ang mga series na ito dahil nga sobrang bilis nilabas ang Treachery at hindi pa ganun ka-proven si Sacasa (who will write the Stand)..

Yun nga nag mga nabasa ko, overprinted yung mga comics nung 90s pero sayang at wala pa akong trabaho nun. Hehehe. Naalala ko tuloy yung Black Lotus na revised sa Greenhills nung college ako. PHP 3500 lang eh ngayon eh sobrang mahal na, nga pala I play Magic CCG once in a while kahit thru online gaming lang.

 

Pilit ba yung appearance ni Hush? Tingnan ko na lang pag nakuha ko yung mga backlog ko this Friday, bukod sa Igor eh may nabasa pa ako eh. Update kita next Sunday or Monday.

 

Magandang magkaroon nung Signature Series ng CCG kaso ang mahal lang talaga, siguro pag asa conevntion ako dun lang ako magpapagawa ng ganun pero malabong bumili ako ng ganun.

 

Pareho tayo ng feeling sa 3rd isntallment ng Dark Tower at sobrang bilis lumabas.

[khumpleetist]

ok you had me convinced. i'll get the ACTION COMICS #866. i'll call ate from CO and pa reserve na me.

 

Pareserve ka na kay Nelida kasi konti lang ang kinukuhang Action Comics ng CO based dun sa pagcollect ko nung Last Son arc.

Isipin mo naman na during the 90's, ang daming nagsulputan na comicbook companies dito sa atin.. CATS, Comic Quest, Comic Express, and Total REC to name a few.. Meron pang mga ilang maliliit na shops that eventually closed down after a few months/years, dahil hindi nila kayang isustain.. Grabe ang demand sa mga comics noon at dun din nauso ang mga hologram, foil, chromium, embossed covers.. At tama ka, art was given too much emphasis rather than the story.. And that is the reason why the comicsboom at that time was not able to sustain its "boom.." As I have said, the stupidity of the stories just made everybody bored and eventually, a lot of collectors/readers just stopped buying comics..

 

Hanggang sa lumabas ang Ultimate Spiderman.. At ayun! Boom ulit.. But at the very least, comics now rely more on superb storylines rather than just art.. Stories that mean something hindi yung dadaan lang at walang mangyayaring repurcussions sa mga universe kung saan sila gumagalaw..

 

Naglalaro ka pala ng Magic, bro.. haha.. Black Lotus? I've heard of that card.. At nakahawak na ako nun nung mahal na siya.. Well, talagang ganyan, tsambahan ang pag-invest sa mga ganyan na collectibles.. We, as collectors, take gambles on what to buy and what to sell.. Mas madalas, malaki ang lugi.. Mapa-NBA cards, Magic, toys or comics, all of these things are gambles.. Its for us to enjoy our respective hobbies and to make investing in them, secondary..

 

BTW, if my memory serves me right, Magic the Gathering was introduced here in the PI by Total REC.. A group of young entrepreneurs, and one of their members was Des (wife of the owner of Neutral Grounds today).. They sold comics then, but on the side may mga comic based cards at ito ngang Magic.. Eventually, the rights to the sole distribution of Magic was taken over by Neutral when Total REC closed shop.. Nakausap ko pa si Des nung nasa Total REC siya, kaso sa tingin ko hindi na ako maalala nito dahil sobrang tagal na nun.. College days ko pa.. Kaya matagal na yun.. nyahahaha..

Dami palang nagsulputan na comic shop nun. Yung Comic Express at Total REC eh hindi ko alam at tama ka nga na may mangilan ngilang Magic shop na may comics. Dun sa Recto sa Mr. Quickie eh exclusive yun for Magic pero may mga 10-20 comics na nakadisplay at take note na naa-update iyun kahit papaano. Ang natatandaan kong hologarm comic na binili ko eh yung Amazing Spider-Man #365 na recently mo lang nabili, pinareserve ko pa yun bago lumabas at hindi ko na nga alam kung san napunta. Sayang nga lang at hindi ko inabot ang Ultimate Spider-Man for collectability pero ok lang.

 

Naglalaro ako ng Magic, yun nga lang thru internet na lang. Hindi kko na maisingit yung pagbili ng cards eh saka hindi ako makapagdecide ng gusto kong gamiting deck pero pinipilit ko pa ding mabuo ang deck ko. Yun bang Total REC eh sa UP or UST? Kasi base sa mga ninuno ng Magic dito sa Pinas eh sa UP/UST ata nagsimula ito. Langya, bigatin na yung nahawakan mong Black Lotus kasi kahit yung pinakamahal na version nung college eh alam ko na hindi siya lalagapas ng 10k at ngayon eh malamang x10-20 na yung price kung ngayon lang nangyari yun eh kukuha talaga ako kahit dalawa.

[mazinger]

collector ako sa mga early 80's kaso kulang funds ko ( still studying elementary) ...ang lakas ko nga kay Phil ( boss ng Filbars ) nirereserved pa nya talaga sakin mga magaganda like CRISIS on INFINITE EARTHS, SECRET WARS :thumbsupsmiley: kaso nag burn out din ako sa comics at when inanay( di pa uso mga carton at plastic pero linalagyan ko sa sarili kong plastic ) mga comics ko one time i gave up totally..... during the 90's inactive na ako sa comics almost mag 20 yrs ako nag stop ( 1989 to 2007 ) mag collect ng comics but i collect SOUL OF CHOGOKIN toys ( mga japanese robot like mazinger z, voltesv , etc ) .....bumalik lang ako when i was in sydney vacationing and lagi tumatambay lang sa mga bookstore...basa basa lang mga tpb....dyan bumalik interest ko....kaso i'm so out of date na ...buti nalang i have a friend na so addict sa comics at mga action figures ...pinahiram nya ang mga collection nya sakin kaya humabol pa...napakarami nyang comics dc and marvel pati na rin mga ibang company....hiram ko lang DC. then one day sa FULLYBOOKED i saw a complete set of JUSTICE and INFINITE CRISIS....so binili ko..............that 2 set of comics brought back the fire in me to a big comeback.......after that mga tpb ang mga tinira ko like mga HUSH, JUSTICE LEAGUE of AMERICA, GL:rebirth, Superman: doomsday, etc..........then one day i said to myslef i need a hobby again since people are reading FHM, MAXIM, etc...why not comics ..so dyan na umpisa .....kaya tama nga sabi nila " 1st love ( comics ) never dies " ...hahahahaha :upside:

Kasi base sa mga ninuno ng Magic dito sa Pinas eh sa UP/UST ata nagsimula ito.

 

I actually have that hologram cover of ASM #365 since it came out.. I recently bought several copies of it kasi mura lang binigay sa akin.. Maganda kasing tingnan yun dahil yung hologram yung cover ng Amazing Fantasy #15.. When Ultimate Spiderman came out, hindi na overprinted yung mga comics dahil nga umunti ang nag-co-collect.. Whoever thought that a Bagley art would be a hit.. haha.. Kidding aside, si Bendis talaga ang nagdala ng title na ito..

 

If ever I was still collecting when USM came out, I would have not gotten the title because its another re-telling of Spiderman's origin.. Nangyari na ito nung mid-90's (Spiderman: Chapter One by John Byrne to be exact) and I was really disappointed with what had happened in the "Clone" storyline.. Ayaw ko na nga yung balak nina Bendis, ayaw ko pa kay Bagley.. Kaya hindi ko din ito kukunin.. And because a lot of Spidey collectors/readers had the same sentiments, USM was (most probably) overlooked.. Kaya siguro ganyan ang presyo ng early issues nito ngayon..

 

Magic originated from UP/UST? Not sure, bro.. But Total REC had their humble beginnings sa isang maliit na lugar sa may Sta. Mesa.. Then they opened a shop near La Salle Taft (University Mall).. After that hindi ko na alam.. Baka naman nagkaroon sila ng shops sa Katipunan kaya siguro nasabi na nag-originate ito sa UP..

We must have the same age, bro.. Wala din akong funds noong dekada '80 at bumibili ako ng comics noon sa National Bookstore sa Cubao.. Then nagkaroon ng flyers na ang distributor ay ang Filbar's that is based sa New York St., Cubao.. My parents and I went there but because we had only few pesos to spare wala din akong masyadong nabili.. But Fil Barbaza was very nice towards me and my parents.. Kaya nga hindi ako magtataka sa staying power ng Filbar's..

 

During that time, ang gaganda ng mga lumalabas na stories sa Marvel.. Secret Wars, Captain America #300 - Death of Red Skull, the Hobgoblin saga in Spiderman, and several storylines of the Avengers.. DC without Crisis was kinda lame, IMO.. Books like the Watchmen were overlooked by collectors and focused mainly on one-shots delivered in Action, or World's Finest.. Buti na lang lumabas ang Crisis at biglang nabuhayan ang storylines ng DC..

 

Comics are better than FHM. Those are just like giving some erections. that's all. pweh! I can see beautiful girls everywhere. I dont need to read or look at in that magazine. But even though, I like Francine P. and Diiana Z.. hehehehe

 

Hahaha!! True but hindi naman lahat ng readers ng FHM ay bumibili for "erection" purposes.. :thumbsupsmiley: I, for one, also collect and read FHM's.. I am not really interested in the sexy pictorials but I am more into the articles.. Kasi when FHM came out, I was looking for the magazine called eleMents (a men's magazine that my batchmates in DLSU concocted), kaso wala na yata kaya binili ko yung Alicia Silverstone issue ng FHM (its actually FHM #1) and I got hooked..

 

Honestly, FHM is beginning to bore me nowadays.. Noon talaga mas may dating mga articles nila.. But, still I have all the issues from #s 1 to the latest..

 

But we share the same sentiments, coz I would gladly give up my FHM fix for good storylines in comicbooks.. Its like comparing bananas to pajamas, IMO.. hahaha... But one thing is for sure, FHM is now a Pinoy Contemporary phenomenon (as it was the first of its kind - Maxim, Uno just followed what it started) that is why early issues are selling more than the cover price in the secondary market.. So, its also nice to have the first issues of this controversial magazie whether its for collection or sentimental purposes..

Ah, extra copies pala. PM kita tungkol diyan kase interesado ako dun sa poster na kasama ng issue na yan eh. At least hindi na masyadong masama yung Clone Saga kasi nagkaroon ng One More Day. Hehehe. Kung sabagay, kung nangonglekta ako ng comics nung lumabas ang USM eh hindi ko din bibilhin dahil re-telling lang ng origin ang concept kamo. napansin ko lang na madalas ang re-telling ng origins sa Marvel nowadays. May mga one-shot para sa X-Men characters at meron din kay Spider-Man recently. Yung kay Venom eh susunod na.

 

Naalala ko nung naglalaro ako ng Magic at napunta ako dun sa Lopez Canteen sa tabi ng UST. Isa ito sa pinakaunang laruan ng Magic kaya nabanggit ko ang UST, yung sa UP eh hindi ko maalala kung pano nadamay pero baka nga nagkaroon ng branch sa Katipunan yung Total REC kaya na-associate sa UP.

So halos magkabatch pala kayo ni revi? I had plans of collecting Playboy Philippines pero nakalimutan kong makabili nung 2nd issue at back-up issue ng #1 kaya parang hindi ko na itutuloy. 90's ako naging interested pero hindi ganun ka-active kasi nga wala pa akong pera nun. I was following Infinity Gauntlet pero hindi ko rin nakumpleto kasi nga kulang ang allowance tas nung college eh mangilan ngilang Spider-Man pero katulad mo eh hindi ko din naalagaan masyado ang mga comics ko kasi wala pa akong idea nun. Nung nagbalik-comics ako dun pa lang ako bumili ng boxes at mylar. Nga pala, since sa DK ka kumukuha eh nagbebenta nga pala dyan ng mylar sleeve (Yung pinakamakapal na version).
