Rob's Long Overdue Ramblings

Not to long ago I stated that collecting comics at this time felt like the 90's all over again, Well I stand by my statement. Lets look at why. The multiple covers on books from Marvel and DC. Which in itself burns my ass. Either buy 10 to 100 copies to obtain a variant from a top artist or a sketch cover. The image boys are now back in trying to drum up business or rape the fans on putting out 1 maybe 2 issues on a book make a killing and leave the fans high and dry. Come on fans can you say Heroes Reborn by Liefeld the last 2 issues took what 6 months to see from issue 4 to 5. Mcfarlane back on Spawn although I give him more credit as he made valiant attempts to getting the book out on time. Lets see what happens now that he is more involved in his creation. Now on to how many new companies have come out in the last few year? Lets see Boom, IDW, Bluewater, Radical which put out some excellent workand others. Virgin books that signed a contract with Scifi channel to put out books. Heard recently that the Manhattan office was shut down. Is this the beginning of the end for them. Reminds me of Valiant or Crossgen good looking books contacts to have properties made into movies. Eventually bit the bullet. Why you ask cannot answer I am not familiar with there business policies. So want do you do as a fan. Buy what makes you happy and stay within a budget or use one of the online services. I haven't written in awhile I really enjoy the opportunity to have a voice on something like most people. Would like to see some feedback positive or negative from you reading this. Please post a reply or drop us an email. Will get back to those that wish to hear from us Rob Or Moe.

Happy hunting,

Rob
