Two Questions: Resolutions and Selling Contusions!

  

Martinex1: Happy New Year one and all!  We will ring in 2018 with a smile on our face and a dance in our hearts!  Cheers to you all and may you and your families have a wondrous new year!

With that said, here are two questions (with some follow-ups) for our group!

QUESTION 1:  What if any New Year's Resolution have you made?  (I know... I know some of you dislike resolutions so if that is the case let me put a more casual spin on it...)  What chore do you hope to finish this year?  What comic purchase do you hope to make this year?  What movie are you looking forward to this year?  What book would you like to read or complete this year?  Are there any big events coming for you this year? And while we are at it.. what books, movies, and comics that your read in the last year would you recommend to others for this new year?

Here are two of my "easy to achieve" resolutions:

1) Read some Marvel comics that I have not before, including but not limited to Marvel Classics!



 2) Actually hold and see an issue of GRIT - that long advertised publication!

3) Exercise and get in shape (the old fashioned way - by reading books and kicking chairs)!


QUESTION 2: Some of us may sell some comics in 2018 so if you sold comic books in the past, what was the hardest part of that process?  How long did it take to finally give in and part with some books? What was your best sale and what was your worst failure in selling?  What would you recommend if giving advice on selling?  And what did you wish you never sold?  Have you ever bought anything back or replaced it?

So there you have it Two Questions (errr... more like a dozen questions) to kick off the new year.  We have time, so let's get a rousing conversation going while recuperating from the midnight festivities.

Two Questions: Anticipation and Adaptation!


Martinex1: Today I have a couple of questions to ponder.  Clue us in to where your mind wandered.

QUESTION 1:  How much did anticipation of what was to come add to the comic collecting experience?  How important were "Next Issue" blurbs, letter page hints, and in-house advertisements in building your anticipation?  A related query - how much does a movie preview impact your want to see a movie?  Were "Coming Attractions" in the Bronze Age more influential than they are today?




QUESTION 2: Did you read "classic" comic adaptations?   What did you think about them?
