Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I honestly don't get what sells people on all that bleak, gross-out shit when there is no heart or story at all underneath it (See also: Crossed, Crossed 2).

See, this is what I'm saying. Those are so good! So how can The Boys really be so bad?
Sometimes people work better under heavy editorial control.
You let them loose, and they fall victim to their selves and their overindulgence in their typical themes.
Look, man. The book has a massive, literal superhero circle jerk as a pivotal scene in one of its arcs. Do you really want to deal with that?
Yes, War in Heaven is pretty good
It's nice to see a book that so completely divests itself of the limitations of hero fiction. It steps over a lot of lines, it's bawdy and worse than bawdy, but you can't complain that it is pointless. There's very much a point to everything that goes on in that story, and the couching of that point within the story is masterfully handled.

Wormwood is ok
also his Ghost Rider stuff isn't bad at all
I double dip on my favorite series, and I would honestly like to end that habbit in most cases.
I liked Crossed, but I like Crazies/28 Days Later style blood tales so that went a long way.
You mean this?

BTW, the prefab covers are quick and cheap, but that glue smells like Death for a couple of days. It sets up pretty quickly, but it's like paint where the smell lingers for days afterwards.

Are any of these worth any money? I see in some online price guides they seem to be, but I don't know if that translates into being able to sell them for an amount worth selling them for.
No they dont, they're not in those kind of hard plastic cases. Although I've been wondering if it's worth getting it done (at least for ASM #300, the $20 fee definitely not be worth it for the other issues)
I'm also pretty sure I picked up all of Macfarlane's ASM run just bagged and boarded a while back. I should go dig them out and see how many issues I actually have.
I'd say the collection as a whole will fetch you more, I myself am a huge fan and didn't start back logging those issues yet. Saving a bit more money first. I have everything from Vol 2 to current (442 on). I'll do 399-441 next then try for 298 on. I figure I can do a little at a time.
Bag and board 'em
Bind 'em
Any other options?
Pile them up in old cardboard boxes and stack them around your bedroom.
It doesn't work too well, but it's what I do atm.
Staple dem together and use them as a bed sheet.
Bag and board and then wallpaper your bedroom with them. Then work on the ceiling. Then store the excess comics in rubber maid containers.
I did all of the above except for the rubber maid, I went with cardboard and killed my inner child when the toilet/tub in my basement apartment flooded and destroyed everything in the very not sewage proof cardboard boxes.
That way I could print out custom spine/cover designs if I wanted to, and store them on a shelf, without going to the trouble and expense of binding them.
The only problem, is that I can't find sheet protectors that are close enough to comic book dimensions, so the issues would flop and slide around anytime you picked the binder up.

Is there any way to put wires between the pages so that the books can still be read in the binder?
That's a thing you could do, I bet. Libraries do that for magazines. I think the libraries do it to keep people from stealing them.
The solution to this sort of thing is to buy tpbs and graphic novels.
When does this new Daredevil book start? I wish there was some way I could buy the comic digitally, and you know, have the actual images and not have to deal with an awful "viewer." I vowed to give up monthly comix when we moved, but man the waiting is awful. There isn't a comic store within an hour of here anyway...
What are the good comics about Vikings? There is Northlanders, right? I think there are more, but I don't know the names.
