    In the comics, on earth 11029, Tony Stark and Victor Von Doom swap bodies. Doom is in Tony's body and vise versa. I don't believe, however, this is how the MCU is going to handle explaining this. I don't like RDJ as Doom because I think there's a good chance marvel screws the character (and movie as a whole) up- which sucks especially when the last movie RDJ was in (Emdgame) is considered by fans to be better than everything since, and I think there's this idea in the fandom of "tainting" RDJ's image in the MCU. That being said, there's nothing we can do about the casting and I know RDJ will do the best with what he's given and ultimately give us an amazing performance. I hope there's at least nods to the numerous connections Doom and Iron Man have had in the past

    • @Johnthecomicguy

      Fantastic points my friend! I definitely see the concerns. I sort of suspend belief when I see movies (I hope to see the Deadpool/Wolverine movie very soon btw…it makes me wonder (pure speculation) RDJ rejected any Iron Man movie offers and Disney decided, give him any other character…as long as they can get him on the screen…and hope he pulls in the crowd. I just hope the movie is well made, because with good material, I suspect RDJ will me amazing. He really is a very talented actor. Let’s keep our fingers crossed!

    I enjoyed your video and content, and looks like you got some nice additions to your collection-however-if you'll allow me a bit of constructive criticism- anyone who claims to be a big Buddy Holly fan would certainly know his first LP (he only released 2 in his lifetime)-The Chirping Crickets from 1957. Same holds true for Bad Company's 3rd LP from 1976. These albums were huge sellers, had massive hit singles and have been classic rock staples for decades, so IMHO anyone who has spent any amount of time listening to these artists/bands should know their basic catalogues. The Buddy Holly Story movie featuring Gary Busey debuted in May, 1978 and was also a fairly big success- although there was little in the way of truth or actual facts presented in the film. It would also be cool to see what label/pressings you got when you show the records.

    • @Johnthecomicguy
      @Johnthecomicguy 10 днів тому

      Thanks for the feedback my friend. I didn’t realize Buddy Holly only had 2 albums in his lifetime. Amazing. Besides this album, I also have a best of Buddy Holly album. I do enjoy a Buddy Holly music, and was impressed that he had so many recognizable sones in his first album. Now, on Monday, I’ll be posting another record video. Check this out. I was selling records to a very nice lady, and while she was picking a stack of records from me, she asked if I liked a couple artists…and she mentioned that she didn’t want records from those artists anymore. One thing lead to another, and I went right to her house to pick them up. Ultimately we traded for her records and she paid me much less cash. Wait till you see the records I got from her. Monday my friend…stay tuned, and please don’t miss it. 🙏🏽

    The cover of Doctor Stange #183 by Gene Colon is what i believe the inspiration for the Iron Maidens album cover for The Number of the Beast. In an interview with artist Derek Riggs mentioned the Doctor Strange issue but couldn't remember the issue number. Love the comic and the album. Great idea for a video and sweet audio set up.

    Nice digs! I like the idea of making my own slabs but IMO they should add a fourth black side bar that covers the hinges across the top of those comic skins. They don't look uniform with the black border on only three sides and the clear hinges sticking out on top. You have to remove the other 3 sides to open it anyway, so what is the advantage of having the hinges exposed? Maybe it would look more uniform if they made them clear instead of black. It would look more like a real slab too.

    " Protection through Innovation" is a great motto to follow. This was very educational and a great video as always. Thank you for sharing this conversation with us all. Personally, (with all the drama of professional grading) I'm looking as a way to privately grade and pedigree comics with the ability to provide a semi permanent capsule which I can place a tamper seal on. Maybe this is a way forward to accomplish this. Thanks everyone for making this video.

We’re giving great consideration to alternatives. Between the 4 of our UCG members (me, J&J comics, Patriot Comics and Comics Catacomb, we have over 120 years of collecting experience, plus we all adhere to CGC grading specs.). We’ve been pondering a good alternative to the mainstream graders and are looking into ways to grade and create a tamper evident vessel. At an affordable price point.

The full arc ran for six issues.

    I will say that I have been personally using Comic Capsules for 6 months and I absolutely love them! Everything you mentioned, for me, puts them head and shoulders above comparable products or even CGC slabs (when it comes to price and UV protection.) Also, I would mention for anybody that might be timid about sliding a high value silver age book in due to how snug the fit is, buckle up here, the backs come off! This allows you to place your book inside, rather than slide it. Then clip it back in place, perfect every time. My only issue with Comic Capsule is that they don't have golden age or magazine sizes...yet. Great review and great video, John!

    • @Johnthecomicguy
      @Johnthecomicguy Місяць тому

      Doug, thank you so much for the info! I had no idea the backs came off. It is great to know you are already using and really enjoy them! I was so impressed that they provide UV protection. If other vendors would use the same UV protected materials, we can all feel more confident displaying out books for longer periods. I should be doing a zoom with the execs at Comic Capsule next week some time, and will be bringing up the request for larger sizes. I agree. Magazine and golden age alternatives would be amazing. Those were already on my ask list lol. Thanks again brother! Your comments are very much appreciated!

      Thanks so much for your comment my friend and I totally understand. I actually get a little overly cautious when using A4 sticker paper. If you forgive the obvious pun, A4 is so darn sticky…I feel I have very little control. I use a lot and am relatively confident using it, but on the new Comic Capsule surface…I was overly cautious, and as you can see…because the flip-up part is actually not meant to get a sticker on it…once I “affixed” the sticker, the result was not totally smooth. It looks good, just not perfect. That’s another reason I gave the point for Labels to Comic Skins. But no doubt…both options are really spectacular. If you end out trying 1 or two of each, you’ll see both offer advantages…both solutions are really excellent for collectors.

    Great review John. You’re very fair and thorough. I’m new into collecting comics and have been trying to figure out a way to hang them. Problem solved!

      Nice- curious what you think also brother. I made a very cool custom label for them as well. I’ll drop the video on Friday.

      I understand my friend. I actually don’t have many of my original books. I think it is so cool you found your collection! That is awesome!

    It depends on what age the comic is from. I dont mind Brave and the Bold vol 1 issues being low to mid grades, but I wouldn't want those same grades for modern books.

    • @Johnthecomicguy
      @Johnthecomicguy Місяць тому

      You are Spot on! I agree. What I can live with for older books in terms of grade, is not what I would keep for a Modern book. Excellent point!

      Gotcha- thanks so much for the info- I got to tell you, if I remember correctly the bookstores I remember had Trade Paperbacks but I just don’t remember actual comics and grocery stores by me only carried (and still carry) women’s magazines. I would have loved to peruse comics if I ever went food shopping lol

    I used to own 90% of the comics you've shown, before I lost my collection. Thor #301 revealed Thor's birth mother is Gaia, the earth goddess, which is why Thor is so attached to earth. It also tells the Eternal - Celestial Saga, and why earth survives Arishem's judgement. It has Thor fighting the Gods of other Panteons
