The Third Annual 11 O'Clock Comics/Marvel Noise Gift Exchange!

[Kenney]

No strangers here. I have found that the Eleven o'clock forums = instant family...
...a geeky, dysfunctional, alcoholic family, but a family nonetheless.

Hey, can we all give Thermite here some massive karma?

If you go a page back, you will see (through no fault of his own) that I didn't receive my original secret santa package from the awesome Phillies64. He told me what was in my lost/stolen package though, and it was an awesome haul.

Anyways, after hearing this, Thermite offers to send me something. Now, of course this wasn't necessary, but he wanted to hook a brother up. I get the package today and it's pretty goddamn rad.

In the box was:

Marvel Adventures Iron-Man vols 1-3
Comic Book Villains DVD (which has Natasha Lyonne in it!  )
Comic Book The Movie DVD

Seriously, how cool is that? Thermite is one generous dude. Thanks again! I'm going to dive into those Iron Man's, and also share them with my little cuz (I think he'll love them too).

Way, WAY too generous, but such awesome stuff. I'm nearly finished with the first Starman and it's great, why did I not read this sooner??

Thanks again David!

That was truly a stand up thing to do.  Karma happily given.

Sorry for the late posting but wanted to thank Sampsa for his awesome parcel!  As you can see, he gave me an awesome selection of european comics, none of which i had!!!



And the icing on the cake was the original art!  He asked me who my favorite hero and villain were, then he got his brother to create the pictures.  as you can see, both images are finished and colored, and he also provided the original pencils for the wonder woman, and i believe finished inks for the deathstroke!



Thanks again for such an awesome and personal gift!!!  PS i think he spent a FORTUNE shipping my package, so double props!  i think it cost him 48 euro to send!!!

[Jeremy G]

I want Sampsa G as my Secret Santa next year. He brought the heat and then some.   

[Sampsa_G]

Grither you're welcome dude. Hope you'll enjoy all of them and I'd love to hear what you think of the books when you get  around to reading them.

Mercury & The Murd Vol. 1
Agents of C.O.L.T. Vol. 1

and a bunch of DVDs (Police Story series, Only Angels Have Wings, and a few that skip my mind at the moment)

That was a great present, Shawn; thanks so much! I can't wait to dig in and enjoy them.

fitting that you may have opened the last present and your giftee as well

[Shawn P.]

I am such a doofus.  I received my Christmas swag awhile ago and never posted it. 

The outstanding Andrew a.k.a. Fist-of-Khonshu shipped me the Midnight Nation Volume One (this book is HUGE), Garth Ennis' Just A Pilgrim TPB (I've always wanted this book!), and The Extremist#1 from Vertigo Resurrected.

All these books are lovely. And mad Karma to Andrew a.k.a. Fist-of-Khonshu for shipping these from afar.

Thanks again for making this thread.

These gifts are kick-ass.

-Shawn

[Shawn P.]

Glad they arrived safely! For awhile I thought the Canada Postal Service stole your gift!

First, I would like to apologize to ChrisCCL for not posting and singing his praises much sooner then now. The holidays, a impromptu vacation with the wife then crazy new years work schedule kept me from doing this properly.

Chris is an amazing secret Santa. I received his package early in December but waited to open it until Christmas day. It was a very hard thing to do but it was so gratifying opening it on Christmas day. Chris was way to generous with his gifts. There's a huge combination of hardcovers, mainstream and Indy stuff along with some really cool extras.

Here's a quick pic;



Included in this mountain of books is;
Underground Classics: The Transformation of Comics into Comix
Captain Action: The Original Super-Hero Action Figure
Johnny Cash: I See a Darkness
Bring Out Your Dead Volume One: It Tolls For Thee
An issue of Back Issue Magazine
The Comic Book Podcast Companion: with interviews with the AC crew
Atomika Vol 1: God Is Red
Howard Chaykin: Power and Glory TPB
Logicomix
Be a Man mini Comic
Pride of Baghdad HC
Six From Sirius TPB
Whiteout #1&2
Fantastic Four #2 DVD
Fraggle Rock Volume 1
Dan Dare HC
Postcards: True Stories That Never Happened HC

It's really way to much
Theres quite a few in here that have been on my want list, Pride of Baghdad and Johnny Cash on the very short want list, I'm very excited to read those. The other ones all look fantastic and can't wait to dive into them.

Thanks Chris
