  1. Just Beyond might be a huge hit in Disney plus. I know Lazarus isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but I look forward to seeing it in live action

  2. Cheer for the heads up on invisible republic. Just bought two sets of the first five issues all NM for £7 per set on Ebay in the UK. I noticed there is a slabbed 9.8 for sale on ebay USA for what must be around $30. Cheap as chips. Im not buying it as the shipping is high.

      1. I wouldn’t buy from him even if it was actually slabbed, for the second one. He’s got a feed back of 1 and a 50% score rating.. But I really dig the blurry second image, really brings out the details of the book.

        1. I like the metal, textured diamond plate that he’s placing his books on to photograph them. Moving a book around on that surface will scratch the sh!t out of that glossy cover.

          1. If you look closely, it looks like those foam puzzle type pieces… like the kids playmats you can put down to add a little cushion on the floor or surface.

          1. I have the whole series for IR. Can’t wait for the show. Really great comic that told a fascinating story.
