Yeah, but we got ones like Howard the Duck and all...

I think next season if we do the same as before, but you have to team up two characters, people are going to have to think of their decisions much more...plus, the debate will really be important in determining who to vote for. There will be such a dynamic to it. Are they team members from previous associations? How will did they get along? If you have a good guy with a bad guy, how will they get along?

BTW, I think Mephisto wouldn't have lasted really long in this match up. He's been defeated numerous times before, right? I know I'd pick Thanos over Mephisto.

hey i like that cos you could have a villain and a hero teamed and you have to debate how the battle would turn out after getting your guys to work together....yeah im all for that idea.

corse i dont know my chances in this i mean i know i have jugs and adam warlock but its gonna be tough i got some tough opponents to face yet.ikaris being the biggest threat at the moment.ive faced him twice and lost to him both times....the wyly bugger

Oh, and if anyone's interested (and yes, I know I'm not suppose to advertise these types of things) I'm going to be selling a few things on ebay soon. I've decided to convert my comics to tpb's (for as much as I'm able), so I'm going to be selling my individual issues and using the money to purchase them in tpb form. There should be some good stuff. Here's some things I'm going to sell (or at least am seriously considering):

Avengers Disassembled
New Avengers (Entire run)
Young Avengers (Entire run)
Emma Frost (Entire run)
New Mutants Vol. 2 (Entire run)
New X-Men: Academy X (Entire run)
New X-Men (Morrison's run) (Entire run)
Madrox mini
Outsiders tpb's 1-3
Ruse tpb
Phoenix Endson mini
Ruins 1-2 with Conspiracy 1-2
A 50 or so lot of X-Men comics
Possibly the entire House of M story, depending on how others that I've been following on ebay sell.

and more.

If anyone's interested in looking into those comics then I'll link my ebay when I get it up over the next few days.

 

[wiegeabo]

Hmmm, wouldn't mind the X-Men and House of M comics.

 

[Phaedrus45]

Every time I bid on your stuff, I get outbid at the last minute. Anywho, I have everything listed there. I was salivating at a half price books near me. They had someone's collection of Savage Sword of Conan. Most were $2.00 to $3.00 each. Early ones were $5.00. But, there were probably 180 different issues in great condition, which are kind of hard to get, since they are those oversized books in b&w.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Man, half priced books is the greatest store. I've bought so many comics there it isn't funny. The sad thing is that I'm not around one anymore so I seldom get the chance to go out toward the closest one now. The last time I went I was excited and they ended up having a crappy selection.

My closest one is 45 minutes away in Tacoma...that's my favorite. They will bundle up packages. I got Web Of Spiderman 11-19 for $7.00 I remember and a couple days back got Shazam 1-4 (right after Legends) for $1.50. Yesterday, though, I drove 1 1/2 hours to another 1/2 books, and they were selling the comics for too high a price. Many single issue comics were listed at $5.00 or more and they didn't do any type of bundling. Last year, I even got some signed Flash comics for only $1.00 a piece at the Tacoma store.

 

[JewishHobbit]

The only thing that mine had was a bunch of original Sin City comics for $5, but I don't know what they'd normally cost, so I didn't get them. I'd just sell them on ebay anyhow, but didn't want to lose money. I looked them up at my local comic shop and they were selling theirs for between 3 and 5 bucks, so I'm glad I didn't get them.

 

[Sparta*]

The Guardian vs Abyss rematch wasn't posted again

 

[JewishHobbit]

oh yeah,.. neither was the Speedball vs Carol Danvers match.

Wow, I would like to see House of M, Phoenix Endsong, and Avengers Disassembled. PM me the links...

 

[JewishHobbit]

Here's my ebay auctions, give them a look through.

I haven't put up the House of M comics as I'm still watching other auctions to see if it's worth me selling them or not. I'm also debating putting up a few other things, but this is the majority of them.

 

[POWdER-man]

Very nice. I have put half your things on watch. It's too bad you didn't have the New X-men on "Buy Now" I would have bought that in a heart beat...

Oh damn, I just realized you only ship in the US....

 

[JewishHobbit]

I can make an exception for friends

and the New actually did have a buy it now option, but it goes away when someone bids. I think it was $80

 

[POWdER-man]

cool.... Actually I thought it stayed until somebody bids higher than that amount and than it goes over the higher amount.....oh well...$80.00 would be worth with it for sure...

BTW since I am feeling giddy from my Thanos matchup I thought I would post a pic I found, that got me laughing...I am still busting a gut from it.....

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Well, since JH did some advertisin', gonna throw my hat in th' ring an' decalre that soon (as soon as I get my act together) gonna have a buncha comics up on Ebay too; Marvel, DC an' some others. I'll post a link when I do.

 

[Phaedrus45]

Yeah...anyone who does any ebay posting can just PM me...I would love to have a look. One of these days, I'm going to ebay about 3,000 comics I have laying around. Gotta get rid of some of these boxes. Plus, I want to get rid of all of my Image...that will be going cheap.

 

[Phaedrus45]

I bid on the one item I don't have. JH, since I'm not in a rush...if I win would you do Media Mail? I noticed only Priority Mail came up.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

What do you have from Image?

 

[JewishHobbit]

I bid on the one item I don't have. JH, since I'm not in a rush...if I win would you do Media Mail? I noticed only Priority Mail came up.

Yeah I can figure it out. I put in Priority Mail a long time ago and just never think to change it. I usually just go to the post office and chose the cheapest method. Is Media more or less expensive?

 

[POWdER-man]

BTW since I am feeling giddy from my Thanos matchup I thought I would post a pic I found, that got me laughing...I am still busting a gut from it.....

Bah......you guys have no sense of humour...

 

[Phaedrus45]

What do you have from Image?

Tons of stuff. I collected everything they put out for probably around the first 3 years when they started. Plus, I have stuff that used to be higher in price, but demand has gone way down...like Spawn 1-60. I figure if I'm lucky, I'll get about 10 cents a comic for it. But, I don't even have the ability to put away new comics, there is so much junk laying around.
