Ant-Man and the Wasp movie

There are two extra scenes. One right after the end of the movie and one after the long list of credits. The first one is great (the crowd gasped in my theatre) the second one with the long wait isn't worth staying for. Lame.

This movie was like the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie for me. I didn't expect a lot but was surprised by how much fun it was. Antman and Wasp Wasp was a great movie for laughs and a bag of popcorn. It was fun and running beside the fun was a good story. Take your whole family, everyone will like it.

It's an error based on spelling or that the book doesn't exist. We are going to change that to make it more clear.

There are 3 grading companies who specialize in comics
CGC - https://www.cgccomics.com/ This is the oldest company and the most trusted.
CBCS - https://www.cbcscomics.com/ This is the newest company but it has experienced graders.
and PGX I personally don't recommend PGX

I hope that helps,

Jonathan Ross with the BBC did an "In search of Steve Ditko" about 8 years ago. The show is on YouTube and is pretty interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfxVO0fLHvA

We've gone through all the Action 1000 variants and adjusted the pricing to show the current market. It's interesting what's gone up and what's gone down. You should take a look at them.

What is your favorite variant of Action 1000?

My favorites
Jock Variant - Classic pose from a unique angle and unusual coloring https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/action-comics/1000S/pkrplvp
Dell'Otto variant - Kingly pose with pale colors surrounding Superman https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/action-comics/1000J/pkrplvv

There are more that I like but I didn't want to list out 12 favorites. smile

I've been playing around with a site that I developed called www.StatuePriceGuide.com. It's not a book but it's free.

You haven't heard of the amazing sider-man? He's more of a construction based superhero who is astonishingly fast at putting up siding. I thought everyone knew about him. smile


It's fixed now.

Robert,
We update the site daily. For example this week we worked on all the Harley Quinn 25th anniversary variants, Batman Rebirth variants, Action 1000 variants and approved 1100 other variants. That is a ton of variants!

If you would like to submit a variant we will research and approve it quickly.
Have a good day,
Ron

What about Amazing Hider-Man? He was so adept at hiding that no one's seen him in 30 years. Some say he's a myth but I still have the limited edition action figure (in the box) to prove he's real. That's when costumes were great, yeah, those were the days. smile

Those are good one. To me, the added detail with all the bubbles on Aquaman 14 make it amazing.

Volume info in Betty and Veronica

Gail,
The publisher is counting "Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica" as volume #1 and "Betty and Veronica" as volume #2. We are counting them as different books because the two series have different names. We use this same method throughout the database so we won't be changing the volume number.

Welcome to the site Gail! If you have any questions about comics, please ask, there are so many knowledgeable people around here. (and a few curmudgeons)

A creator can be an inker, cover artist, writer, editor. That's just what we call someone involved in the creation of the book. If that wasn't what you were asking, let me know
