It is useless to me. I have my own checking debit card. I also don't like to keep any money in my Paypal account as they are NOT a bank. I don't like the idea that they are getting interest on my money if I keep it in there. It's bad enough they(Paypal/eBay) double down on fees & Paypal is required for eBay.

What you need to read for AWESOME cosmic Marvel is the Annihilation miniseries- it's available in trade paperbacks- four in all I think- covering the main series and the miniseries attached to it. For a novelty, which i like, the side-series are incorporated directly into the trades, so you read everyting in the proper order.

Then move on to the Nova series- get the first two trades of that and the trade of Annihilation: Conquest.

Lastly, get Thanos Imperative (which I own a cover to!).

But mainly, Annihilation is the thing to read- the single best cosmic anything by any publisher ever. EVER.
So many shocks and deaths in there too! Starring Nova, Starlord, Thanos, silver Surfer, Galactus (and ALL the heralds), Ronan, Gamora, Drax, Quasar and of course, Annihilus!

In a nutshell, Annihilus and millions of his inscect warriors with thousands of ships invade the MU in deep space and destroy the Kree, Skrull, Xandarian and pretty much every other star empire as Annihilus (with Thanos' help) seeks to destroy all life, 'cause that's just how he rolls.

What, no Guardians of the Galaxy?! Some of the most enjoyable stories I've read in marvel cosmic!

That and the Paypal debit card feature is not offered in Canada along with a few other features. Normally I use echecks to send $$ let paypal worry about taking it out my account,then leaving a ton of $$ in there and if I do need it I'm stucking waiting 3-4 days for it to clear into my useable bank account. Plus I have no creditcard, so paypal is even less useful for other sites, such as bbts and even netflix because they require one on "file". bs.

Very VERY true- and GotG is obviously one of my alltime favorite Marvel books (see my Comic Art thread), but if he's reading miniseries story arcs or does not have the $400 bucks to buy trades of ALL those series, Annihilation is the one to get.

I also forgot War of Kings, which I thought was just fantastic.

GotG needs an Omnibus like Secret Warriors got!

Thanks fellas,I'll be looking for these.... LOL I have the first 2 HC's of Secret Warriors,and the rest of the series in single issues...And I still haven't read those...I heard it was an awesome story,that's why I bought it..

Jason Abbadon · 08-09-2012, 02:11 AM

Dude! Just...just sit down right now on a nice comfy couch, get a drink crack open the first HC of Secret Warriors- it kicks SO MUCH ASS and, believe me, you'll want figures of both good and bad guys!

Hmm...too bad the Agent Of Nothing website is gone- Hickman made a website with maps and clues that cold be accessed after issue #1 dropped and various comics websites had the password.
I use the site's desktop wallpaper on my computer.
Once you read the first issue, run a Google Image search for "Agent of Nothing map" to see just how Marvel's best and brightest had been played by Hydra for years...

Annnd then the rest of the series is one secret or betrayal after another- with time outs to fight Norman Osborn, his Thunderbolts and Dark Avengers and a certain God of Fear's coming of age.

Oh, and a LOT of the charcaters (some MU regulars since the 1960's) get horribly killed! On panel!

I dont think I've met anyone that's read the series that not a fan.

Ninjinister · 08-09-2012, 05:39 AM

Man, was I away that long that I missed 30 pages of stuff? Anything important happen, kids?

behindthemask · 08-09-2012, 06:45 AM

Any arkers interested in buying a big lot of MU and sisterline figures for a good price? I have a massive shopping bag full, of figures, bases, weapons, etc and would love to give them a good home along with making some fast cash on my end. I'll do a tally up, but there's probably close to a 100 figures, and thinking in the $3-500 range for the entire lot.

*Note anybody who has a deal pending with me for MU, this does not include the figures I'm shipping you.

If anybody is seriously interested pm me, will update you with an exact list and figure count.

Your wife must be a skilled huntress, I have yet to see those packs in the wild!

Alchemist559 · 08-09-2012, 07:39 AM

Does anyone have an extra Stinger Strike Scorpion from the Spiderman line, for sale or trade? I can't believe I used to pass this figure all the time because I wanted the damn classic costume, but now I just want any version of him in this scale.
