The year of the comic book shows is upon us!
Quick reminder that the Walking Dead season 5 premieres tonight at 9pm est on AMC, I will post my review for that episode tonight.
But anyway, comic book adaptations certainly seem to be taking over television. With existing shows like Arrow, Agents of S.HI.E.L.D., and the Walking Dead, along with shows that were just added this year like Gotham, the Flash, and shows still to come like, Constantine, iZombie, and Preacher.
It's crazy to think just a few years ago none of these shows existed but know they are hits. And the comic book adaptations won't stop there, there are already more shows in the works like, Five Ghosts, Supergirl, and Teen Titans. And more shows seeminly being optioned for movie or TV deals each day. It's great to see how the comic book industry is finally getting the long overdue respect that it has deserved. With hit TV shows and box office hits I think the future of our beloved medium looks very bright.
So remember to tune in for the Walking Dead tonight at 9pm est on AMC, also tune in after for Talking Dead. And also be sure to tune into Comic Book Men at midnight on AMC.
Let me know what you guys think the future of comic book movies or tv will look like!

The strain episode 10 review 9/14/14 So we start this episode off in the pawn shop. Eph's kid is trying to find his mom, so he tracked her phone. So Eph is going to try and find her. The Eph/Nora drama is annoying.  And his kid is wicked annoying. So the team is trying to form a plan to kill the Master. Eph goes looking for his wife but doesn't find her. Some homeless woman had his wife's phone. The woman shows him where she found the phone. Now we are flashing back to 32 hours earlier. Eph's wife is in bed when her infected boyfriend comes home.

She drives away, but now it's only a matter of time before she turns. Some time goes by and she's still in her car, a...

eBay article part 2

First off I want to give a shout out to Trey K from CBSI for sharing my previous article. It garnered some decent attention and good discussion within the group. I also got some good questions from people so I thought I'd elaborate on a few things.  I just want to warn sellers of the risk of selling on eBay. And the huge pain it can be. The main question I got was how often does someone try to scam you? Honestly I would say about 1 in 10 sales. And the most common scam is people wanting a partial refund. They will say something like "hi the book arrived today but it's probably a 9.0 and not NM so can you refund me 25% and I'll just keep the book, I hope we can resolve this". All they are trying to do is get the book you sold them for a cheaper price. And how could they possibly know the grade if it's not slabbed. And that's another thing I wanted to touch on, when I list a book for sale I will list the condition, for example if it's near mint I wi...

Collector, Speculator, Flipper... Can you be all of these? Sure why not?

Ok guys so it's Labor Day I'm bored and thought I'd right an article. So people tend to categorize others in sub sects of the collecting world. A friend of mine called me a flipper I said ok but I'm also a collector. He asked how can I be both? So let's first define each category. A collector is someone who collects comics, whether it be runs, keys, slabs, what have you, pretty self explanatory. A speculator, someone who buys a comic hoping the value will increase so they can sell it at a profit. A flipper, someone who buys a book for the sole purpose of selling it. Ok so now that's out of the way. I think we can be all three of those things. I don't know why "real collectors" look down on flippers and speculators. Now for me personally any money I make selling comics goes back into my collection. I don't do it as a business to support myself I do it to buy other things I won't for my collection. But there is nothing wrong with doing...
