Everyone's responding about adamantium but holy poo poo this is thing I want to know about, too! That's a drat good cross-over event right there, way better than Tony Stark being a jerk (yet he'd be a jerk in this instance, too, looking for and securing the source, etc etc)

So when exactly did Hal Jordan become a pariah? Admittedly I'm not super into DC, are of a marvel guy, and a bunch independents back in the 90's and 00's. Then quit comics. Hal was always my GL, especially all that Neal Adams stuff. What, aside from hindsight looking back on to goofy silver-age crap (which, c'mon, unless you grew up with it you only saw it in back issues and drat near every character has some laughable history), was his downfall? That emerald day thing or whatever? Something else? I mean, I'm aware of Guy and Gnort and Stewart et al so I'm aware of Lanterns but just don't see where the Hal Hate is stemming from. Genuinely curious.

Sinners Sandwich posted:Just finished Avenger's Childrens Crusade and it was pretty good. I was wondering if any comics address what the avengers do with the giant stone memorial statues for their fallen roster whenever one of them gets revived. Is their just a warehouse somewhere? Hank Pym came back just recently (again) and one of the first things he did was go out an destroy his statue. (uncanny avengers, I believe)

SonicRulez posted:That Spider-Man and Daredevil are like the only Marvel superheroes left with secret identities are why it bothers me so much how often they come out of the mask in the movies. Amazing got on my nerves bad with that one in the first movie. Every drat body knew he was Spider-Man. I like to think "secret identity" is one of the clear differences between DC and Marvel. Moon Knight has 3. lifg posted:Is the average citizen of Marvel or DC aware of how often their world/universe has almost ended? I dunno about DC but Damage Control is a thing in Marvel so I'd say the average citizen for sure knows.

Lurdiak posted:I remember reading that and it really didn't jive with other info that I'd heard about the original plans. I understand your hyperbole, for sure. I would argue, though, that A) there have been stand-alone issues for decades - they're called Annuals, and B) since comics started the idea of stand-alone is pretty uncommon. Even 60's Spider-Man had stories that went two, three issues long.

I remember back when Microchip's son got killed. Didn't Micro himself die several years later? I don't really read Punisher so I have no idea if Micro is even around (or if that counts in this case). Also, what about Arnim Zola's kids that came back with Cap? I read those comics and don't even remember what happened. Jet(?) was bad then good then maybe bad again? And the little boy grew up and came back to this dimension and then...?

TwoPair posted:Jet Black (yes that's her name) was accused of being a double agent by Sharon Carter after she returned from Dimension Z. (post-turning-old) Steve Rogers and (still-Falcon) Sam Wilson were like "Hey let's talk this out we're not gonna charge you with anything but we should take you into custody" then Jet pretty much said "gently caress y'all, my word should be good enough for you, I'm out" then disappeared. Jeez. I remember some of that and I was reading all them books at the time. Jet had the potential to be a good anti-hero. I never liked Ian when he grew up but it's just weird how they were all hand-waved. Stupid Secret War.

Dillbag posted:Last year, I priced out my late 80s to early 90s collection and realized that only 30-40 out of 2000 books were worth sweet gently caress all so I pulled those out and donated the rest to the neighbourhood disadvantaged youth association. I need to re-evaluate as well. What's the go-to for price guides these days? Is over street still around? What's a good (free) price guide online? Also, in the same vein, years ago there was some free site I used to catalog all of my books. It let you export an Xcel doc. I lost all that info. Anything similar our there?

Cool. Thanks. I know about comcibookdb so nice to hear it's been vetted (I've only used it to track down certain books/appearances). And I'll double check eBay. The few I want to price I would never list at, say, an Overstreet value. Not that my books are in lovely shape but I always kind of low-ball my prices at, like, Fine, on account of the market and what the goddamn 90's did to us.

JordanKai posted:Thanks for the input everyone! And also thanks for making me feel like a doofus for still collecting physical releases. Man, I still collect physical stuff. You wanna talk doofus? Watch this - Can someone explain digital download codes to me? Like, I just ignored them in every book I've been buying (I just got back into buying in the last 5 years). I assumed those were, like, codes for that book that I had in my hand. A digital version of what I bought that I could watch on my tablet. But, uh, that's not the case, is it? Those are, like, free digital copies of other books to get you to buy them, right? I',m so confused. And I've seen people in this forum talk about selling those codes on eBay. What's that? And if I tear that sticker off to get the code (okay, strap in...I'm a 90's comic buyer after all) does that "reduce the value of the book because the code is removed"? This is all Marvel, btw.

I can give 'em away, no prob. Not really worried about "damaging the re-sale value". I was just genuinely curious about them as a whole since I'm still stuck in the past. e: Oh, and thanks! Sorry. should have led with that.

Skwirl posted:Are there any comics where Nick Fury and Steve Rogers are fighting together during WW2? It's an important part of both their histories that they were in WW2, but I can't think of anything involving them where they met before Steve Rogers was defrosted. That Tim Sale/Jeph Loeb mini series. Capitan America: White.

There's also been numerous times when Pete's been sick and out on patrol or whatever and makes some goofy comment about sneezing in his mask. Proportionate immune system os a spider, I suppose.
