2 yearsJesse_O (8649): What does a checkmark (asterisk online) by the grade mean? In rare cases, a comic book will look much better than the given grade. In these rare cases, a Check Mark will be placed on the label by the numerical grade. The best way to understand why a specific comic book received a Check Mark designation is to refer to the graders' notes. Example: a comic is graded 8.0. However, the covers are such that it looks like a 8.5 or a 9.0. CBCS...

Large doses of family angst and relationship problems, special abilities of several not yet clearly laid out. Basically it's pretty boring up to this point. I'll watch a few more episodes to see if it grows on me or gets more to my liking. But I don't really LIKE having to do that. There is other stuff to watch, I shouldn't have to slog thru hours and hours of "bleh".

2 daysjgzachary13 (141): Have any of you framed comics? When you bring contrast and color to the framing, you accent the comic (or painting/picture). Yellow helps a signature series label pop. I have seen some colored stands that match the comic to add flavor when displaying the comic. If you love the artistic work (in addition to the content), why wouldn’t you enjoy adding something to accent the beauty of the comic and artwork?
