8/3/2022 Topic: Rippaverse glorkar	Hadn't heard of it before. Had to look up what it was all about. I don't know. Might be a good book. It's tough for me to want to give it a shot with all the politics surrounding this "non-political" book. From what I read, this guy started this book because he didn't want to write about a bisexual Superman who cared about more than 'Merica. I can understand (to a point) him just wanting to make a superhero book "like the good ole days". But there will always be politics in comics. Maybe they aren't the same politics as the real world, but there is always something.
8/5/2022 Topic: Always King Kong glorkar	Kind of seems like a "you" problem. Have you tried clearing the cookies and cache from your browser? Or trying a different browser?
8/8/2022 Topic: Harley Quinn glorkar	Any one else reading the current series? It's been alright, but I'm am so, so very happy that Rossmo isn't the artist any more. It was just too damn goofy for my taste. Duarte seems to do a decent job at least. And I'm loving the new Jonboy covers.
8/9/2022 Topic: Hawk the Slayer double listing glorkar	Links to the exact book you are talking about are always handy: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/hawk-the-slayer/phpwcr has issue one https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/hawk-the-slayer/phpwjw has issue two
8/9/2022 Topic: Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge glorkar	Those aren't the actual issue numbers. You'll need to look inside the book on the indicia. Should be printed at the bottom of the first page. It will have the title, issue and publication date listed there.
8/15/2022 Topic: A.X.E. Judgement Day FCBD Incorrect Listing Title glorkar	This is one of those grey area issues. Technically speaking, it is in the correct spot. If you look at the indicia, it should read "Free Comic Book Day 2022: Avengers/X-Men #1" So even though it's an A.X.E. issue, it kind of sort of isn't.
8/15/2022 Topic: Simpsons Comics Present Bart Simpson Prices glorkar	I yupped a price on one of the issues before I realized the cover shows Aus and NZ prices. When I looked at the full run in the database, there are four that have cover prices approved that should be removed: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/simpsons-comics-presents-bart-simpson/5/phtwcvx https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/simpsons-comics-presents-bart-simpson/12/phtwcyw https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/simpsons-comics-presents-bart-simpson/19/phtwcxr https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/simpsons-comics-presents-bart-simpson/24/phtwcxy . There are also 5 in the pending under Otter Press. Didn't want to nope them since it's an honest (and easy to make) mistake, but definitely can if that's the preferred method.
8/25/2022 Topic: A.X.E.: Judgment Day #3D - Publication Date glorkar	I've fallen into this trap before myself. Publication Date and Release Date are seldom the same. These days, the publication date for the big publishers is almost always later in the year than when they release the book. Take a look at the indicia and you'll see the October date listed. It doesn't make sense to me, but that's how it is. . Found my post on this and Ronbatman's response: The release date and the published date have always been different by months. This isn't anything new, weird but not new Batman 200 from 1968 On sale in January, 1968 Published date March, 1968 . lokyel added this: This was originaly to signify the pull from shelf date. edited by glorkar on 8/25/2022
8/29/2022 Topic: New title glorkar	My understanding was that indie and small print run books do have a place here. It's just that the demand and volume is so low that they go to the very, very bottom of the to-do pile. This means it could take month (or years) to get the book added. I could be wrong though.
8/31/2022 Topic: Legend of Oz: The Wicked West glorkar	Bringing this one back, yet again. Next issue is now out. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/legend-of-oz-the-wicked-west/wksuj Legend of Oz: The Wicked West Issue #2425 (per indicia) Published June 2022 Publisher: Big Dog Ink Writer: Tom Hutchison Artist: Carlos Reno Cover Artist: Carlos Reno Colors: Gat Melvyn Inker: HDE Editor: Kari Castor And just to clarify, according to the creator of the book, there is no 19 or 20, only a 1920. There is a 21. There is no 22 or 23, only a 2223. There is no 24 or 25, only a 2425.
9/12/2022 Topic: Thor Love and Thunder glorkar	Finally got a chance to watch this this weekend. I was pretty disappointed, tbh. There just wasn't much plot. And was it just me, or was Thor dumber than usual? I mean, he's always been a bit of an airhead, but it seemed like they really played it up this time around.
9/16/2022 Topic: Morbius Movie on Netflix glorkar	Just finished it. It was okay. I enjoyed watching it, but I definitely won't need a rewatch.
9/20/2022 Topic: Thor Love and Thunder glorkar	I honestly totally forgot about the intro with Korg and that he was telling a story. Does kind of make one look at things differently.
9/20/2022 Topic: Uncharted Movie glorkar	Man, I just can't seem to win with movies lately. Saw that Uncharted was on Netflix finally. It looked pretty good from the trailers. Which means they did their job, they got me to watch it. It was so bad. I just didn't understand so many of the choices with the plot line. There were so many unnecessary things they did. And the love interest / triangle / not really at all thing was just muddy and poorly defined. And I know it's silly, but towards the beginning when he gives the list of things he'll need, he names handheld metal shears. Then later it shows him using a die grinder (like a Dremel). Kind of not the same thing? . I don't know, I guess I was hoping it would live up to my memory of the Angelina Tomb Raider movies. For all I know, if I went back and watched those they'd be just as bad
9/26/2022 Topic: Double-Cover Comics glorkar	I don't have any myself. Unless it's a key book, I don't think it adds much to the value. More of an oddity than anything. You can probably get a small premium to the right collector, it's just a matter of finding that person.
9/28/2022 Topic: Death's Head #1 glorkar	Death's Head was also released by Marvel UK. Try switching the country code to "UK" to see if that version is the one you have.
9/30/2022 Topic: comics I have, and don't know anything about them glorkar	Here's what I found: Lobo is actually issue number 11 of volume 2: Lobo #11 Values and Pricing \| DC Comics \| The Comic Price Guide (comicspriceguide.com) Worth maybe a couple bucks. Lobo the Duck can be found here: Lobo The Duck #1 Values and Pricing \| Amalgam Comics \| The Comic Price Guide (comicspriceguide.com) Again, worth maybe a couple of bucks. Spawn / Batman is here: Spawn: Batman #1 Values and Pricing \| Image Comics \| The Comic Price Guide (comicspriceguide.com) This one might be worth $5, depending on condition. If you have any more books, the site is actually very easy to use. In the search box, just type the title (or part of the title) and the issue number. All three of these popped right up. In the case of the first Lobo book, the "repent or be fragged" was just the story title. That's why sometimes it pays to just put a portion of what you see on the cover. Or, if you want to be sure, inside the book, typically on the bottom of the inside of the front cover or the first page is a bunch of fine print called an indicia. This will have the official title of the book and the issue number as well.
10/15/2022 Topic: Marvel Voices Community 2022 Incorrect Title glorkar	Just picked this up (for the first appearance of Chimera (earth-616) and noticed the title is incorrect in the system. We have it listed as "Marvel Voices Comunidades". Makes sense. That's what's on the cover. But that's just a callout to the nature of the book. The indicia lists it as "Marvel Voices Community" We have the 2021 book listed correctly here: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/marvels-voices-community/pkxwjq This is the 2022 one: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/marvels-voices-comunidades/phsrjw
10/17/2022 Topic: Batman: Urban Legends #20 - Castle Arkham glorkar	Just curious if anyone else was following this series. I really dig the shorter, self-contained stories as well as the 2-3 issue ones. Really liked the first story in issue 20, "Castle Arkham". Victorian era Batman. Has a bit of a steampunk / Lady Mechanika vibe. He uses a scythe on monsters too, which is pretty badass. The images were pulled from CBR article found here: https://www.cbr.com/batman-urban-legends-dark-reality-dc/ !! Don't read past the last image if you don't want mild spoilers for the story!!
10/18/2022 Topic: Missing: Strayed #1 Christian Ward Variant glorkar	Submitting a variant is pretty simple actually. Go to the issue you have a variant for (in your case, that's here: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/strayed/1/pkwvmry) Be sure you're on the main cover version of the book. Above the issue details, there are tabs for Details, Values and Variants. Click on the Variants tab. Scroll down and in the bottom right corner you will see a red button to "! Report Missing Variant" Just fill in as much detail as you can and attach a cover image. That's it.
