It mitigates risk, but you have to be like a midget in a urinal, always on your toes. A year ago, there were less scammers, but right now, the market for buying a business is flooded with people that can"t make their debt payments, and are willing to falsify anything. We put down 10% (plus a...

Bankers are not really friendly people right now. Given the state of disarray they are in now, they are a mess - they make guarantees and promises, and then they reneg on them in a heartbeat because they know they haven"t put it in writing. I"d rather be trapped weaponless in a room full of...

I have no idea what type of business I will be buying next. I do know that I am thinking that I may try to buy next business based on the stock beta of that industry. For those of you familiar with finance, a beta shows how a stock moves with the market. A beta of 1 means it moves with the...

Mid 30"s.

Thanks for the compliment. I wasn"t sure if anyone would want to read this, but it was really a rough year, that has now eventually paid off. If I can share any info, I am more than glad to do it for people that are contemplating doing the same. And I am sure that we could get other people"s...

Good question. I have found that selling a business brings out the absolute worst in people. I have over a decade plus of biz experience, and seen alot of bad behavior and greed in Corporate America.But trying to buy a business made me lose my faith in humanity for the year long ordeal.For some...

Given his massive amounts of positive internets, maybe the board wants him to have open access. Maybe we are in Bizarro world and don"t know it.

Found it: So I guess as a penalty, the Green Goblin was banned from the comic for almost 30 years (our time).

I honestly can"t remember. I haven"t read this particular Spiderman since I was a kid. I was just learning to read back then. I do remember the shock that everyone in my neighborhood had when the happened. Back in the day, just about every young male was a comic book fan (in contrast to no one...

LOL, I was just reading an interview with Jim Lee (who is working on the DC MMO). He says that in large PVP battles, Black Adam may pop in and try to kill everyone. So heroes and villains will need to team up against Black Adam, so they could avoid getting their faces ripped off or hearts...

Black Bolt soloes an enraged Hulk. I think people forget how powerful Black Bolt is. He has also soloed Magneto.

The Death of Gwen Stacy - I remember this being such a big deal as a kid.

Since this is a comic book nostalgia thread, can"t forget the superhero MMO"s. The first is City of Heroes, 2nd is Champions Online (released in 2009) and also the DC Universe (also in 2009). I remember reading about CoH pre-launch and reading the site updates about its development. I remember...

The death of Firestorm:

Ask and ye shall receive...

Yup, around the Onslaught saga is when I took a break from buying comics. It was horrid. And it seemed like after Onslaught, the floodgates were open on Marvel and retconning. It seemed like we were getting company-wide retcons every year after that.

If you want to read when Batman started coming into prominence, it was in the JLA volume that started in the mid 90"s. In the other volumes, alot of times he was at times treated like any rank and file member. But in this volume is when he started saving the rest of the JLA"s butts (or whupping...

What"s with all the emo threads from you lately?

It was All Star Batman and Robin #9. Sorry.

Want some lemonade?

So much for Bane being the only human to out-melee Batman. This was at a time when Deathstroke had his own comic, and he was a vigilante like the Punisher. He had no problems shooting people or stabbing them back in the day. I like Slade more as a hero than a villain.

For those that don"t know, the guy that tore Joker a new one is the resurrected Robin. It would have been sweet if Robin killed him. And they can"t use the excuse that the Red Hood (Robin) was a good guy, because at the time he was putting up Punisher-levels of body counts.

The last time I checked, Marvel"s service wasn"t too hot. The selection was low, and the cbz/cbr reader was actually better. And yes, the scans are grainy. The good part is that Marvel had some job postings up for some people to just do scans for 40 hours a week. Maybe one day the service...

RAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH

Y"all should resize your pics. Anyway, here is why Batman is the greatest. In the latest story arc of Superman/Batman (which has been going on for about six months), Superman and Batman have been trying to rid the Earth of all Kryptonite. They"ve fought with governments that have been...

I may need to re-read Acts of Vengeance, because I don"t remember it that well. I am sure I have the paper versions around here somewhere.

Or you could subscribe to Marvel"s online database of comics or buy comics from a local store (if you have any in your area). Support the industry and the comics will keep coming. I support Marvel and DC and I can point to a large walk-in closet devoted to more than 30+ years of just paper...

So if I count right, in one fight, Superboy killed seven superheroes (including killing Zauriel, the Looker and some hero I don"t know with just his heat vision) and six Green Lanterns. To give an idea of how powerful he"d become, one Green Lantern with enough willpower (i.e. Hal Jordan) could...

More Superboy Prime killing:

So the Flashes whisk Superboy Prime off into the Speed Force dimension. But later on, he finds a way to get back to our Earth. But now he has a suit of armor based on the Anti-Monitors (except it makes him even more powerful because it constantly feeds him extra solar radiation). He decides he"s...

Heh, you guys think that Black Adam was bad - Superboy Prime was pretty bad also. In the Infinite Crisis series, he was the Superboy from a universe that died and is stranded on our Earth. He wants to remake our Earth to be more light and smurfy like his. He"s much more powerful than Superman...

Deathstroke vs JLA (con"t):

Deathstroke versus the JLA: He is a badass

Your wish is my command.

Xmen 155: This the first comic book I can ever remember reading. This is back when X Men was good, and not the mutant soap opera we get now. The Xmen were fighting the Brood, and Colossus had some alien acid hit him in the chest, weakening the area. Later on, a building falls on him, and a piece...

Thor versus Juggernaut (Thor #411):

Hulk Goes on a Rampage (Avengers 321)

The Flash was cool. I always like his predecessor, Barry Allen also. When he died, and Wally West took over as the Flash (he was Kid Flash), it was a great fit for the aging demographic of comics (which is now like age 25+ now). Flash became kind of a wise-cracking slacker that had mony problems...

Green Lantern versus Silver Surfer:

The Hulk is red
