I'm mad I missed NYCC this year. I heard it was on point.

Never been to any of these conventions before but i need to chop it up with Adam Hughes, so next year i'm in the Javits Center ASAP.
 
I seem to be putting on all my people back into comic books lately, So the next chance I get to go to one in NY I'm gonna go with as many people I cantake...

Maybe a mini NT summit...Sneakers and comics...

You should definitely check out the Viking Quest Booth if it's there this year.

Johnny Drama is usually there to sign autographs, he's a pretty stand up dude.
 
Bendis has been doing pretty good with the New and Dark Avengers titles...but at 3.99 a pop, he damn well better be!!

Idk how Ultimate Spidey ended...I stopped reading that at #59. Right before the Gwen Stacy death I think it was...I was more into Ultimate Iron Man...I think Istill have all 10...I used to love them. I'm gonna go dig for them...

They killed him off in a explosin at doctor stranges house while he was trying to stop the hulk. He got beat around by some copys of all his villians. He diedwith thoughts of how he didn't change anything and it was all a waste.

So you were around when the show wasnt so crowded or back when Image was hot.
Back in the early 90's I was sneaking into the Con, staying with 10 guys in one hotel and waiting in line for Image artists signatures. Now I just to shopand catch up with some past animation/comic industry friends.

Do you know how much it'll run on eBay? (Seeing as to how it's sold out on sideshowtoy.com ....)
Also, do you happen to own the Mark II? Just wondering whether it'll be worth buying even though
I have the Mark III.

I have the Mark III.

I was lucky enough to be at work when they went up so I was able to get 1 for myself and immediately, I saw one on eBay for like $350 and it's only gonnaget higher
smh.gif
The Mk II is amazing in person. Personally, I kinda prefer how itlooks over the Mk III. He's definitely worth it. Here's a pic I took last week

^Thanks. I wasn't too sure about getting another one, mostly due to the
fact that there were some people who got the Mark II with broken legs
and such.

oh yeah, I've seen that happen maybe twice and I know quite a few people who's picked him up, so I just chalkthose up as random cases. You should be fine. If you're still iffy, just buy it from a reputable dealer and they can exchange it for you if you have anyproblems. You plan on copping the Mk I too?

In my opinion, Mark I seems to be the best value in terms of what you're getting,
but I'm not sure whether I'd want to shell out another $170 for the guy, except
maybe for completionist reasons. But it WOULD be nice to have it..
