SAGA #1 sells for $200 on Ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Saga-1-NM-First-Print-/131114029220?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item1e870150a4&nma=true&si=OJxwqzIbPrpa1N%252B7di%252BEZZo43bw%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Almost makes me want to sell mine. Almost. I have withheld from selling my Walking Dead’s, Peter Panzerfaust, Chew, and so far Saga. Any wonder I recommend so many Image books?
Hellblazer #1 is starting to pick up. 1 just sold for 86.00 in vf/nm
Seems like this itty bitty rainbow pixie variant may be hard to find since it’s limited to 1000 copies . There one on eBay for 99.00
Life With Archie #36 Magazine Edition that also comes with #37 is going bonkers
Captain America #117 is going to explode even more now that Sam Wilson is taking over the mantle of Captain America in the comics, maybe he will eventually do the same in the movies?
Thanks Chris
New Kickstarter project from Erik T Johnson
Also, this, from the same email sent out by Johnson:
“For those still interested in Outliers news, work has begun to expand the story into a full graphic novel, hopefully one of three, to be published in 2016 by the highly respected Uncivilized Books. Look for more news this Fall”
I didn’t know where else to post this, and the humansforlife.com website doesn’t have a contact. Has anyone else received their copy of Humans #0 in the mail? I opened it up and to my horror, the thing was shipped with a sheet of comic wrap that was cut up and tape down to 1 single piece of cardboard, and then put in a bubble wrap envelope. The comic has multiple stress marks on the spine and dents in the cover due to this. Completely ridiculous shipping from these people, I am wondering if anyone experienced this. I have pictures to prove this absurd shipping method. I absolutely despise when people don’t have enough common sense to ship a comic properly.
Sorry to hear yours came in bad condition. Someone else said the Same thing already. I got a bubble mailer in the mail today and cringed. It was the same shipping method as yours. Mine came in clean though. No stress marks or anything.
Thanks for the reply, i’m glad yours arrived safely, its sucks when a shipper does this. I have already sent an email to the 2 creators emails on their site so maybe they will do something about this since multiple people are experiencing the same thing. I know its not the creators fault as I am sure they are not the ones actually shipping out the comics, but maybe they can point me in the direction. At the end of the day its only a $5 comic but once the Image series picks up who knows what the comic will be worth
I think it is the writer tom who is shipping them out.
It is Tom, and he responded to my email with a rather refreshing response straight from the writer, I will be paying for a better shipping method to get a good copy of this book, here is his response:
Hi Chris,
I’m glad you enjoyed the book, but I apologize for any inconvenience or damage. Perhaps our shipping methods weren’t up to the standards of the collector’s market which we seem to be now dealing with? To my knowledge all books were shipped in a comic book polybag and backed with cardboard in an oversized bubble mailer to prevent it from being damaged. Is this not sufficient? I’m not sure what happened. For $3 shipping, we can’t afford boxes and priority mail. I know that in order to lower shipping costs for everyone, we used Media Mail for most of the books, which sometimes isn’t the safest way to send comics. I have forwarded this to Keenan, who shipped the books. If you are unsatisfied, please send pictures of the damage to the comic. We can replace it or issue a refund for the damaged comic. However a replacement would be shipped a similar way unless we charge more for shipping.
I found an interesting interview with the creator of Five Ghosts, they ask him about the TV deal and he gives some insight as to how far along it is, who the writers are, and he says we could even see it as early as next summer.

Thanks Chris. I will pull this over into an article later today.
Outcast 1 first print available on Midtown comics website. No limit.
Nice. Thanks for the heads up.
Just wanted to let you know that in the monthly subscription box, Loot Crate. This montht they had a variant for Walking Dead #132 which you can only get if you had a subscription. They are doing really well on Ebay. Saw them sell for around $40.00 and now are around $15.00 to $20.00. May want to leave a posting so everyone on the site can know.
I have been bidding on them like crazy. I did get a Funko Aliens Reaction Figure out of a loot crate for $8 shipped. That was a steal. I will do a post on it.
Cheers and thanks.

Hey Tommy. Everything that has been related to Arrow and now Flash have been good picks. Many books are moving up in price based in these shows.
Read an article that says Disney channel is bringing all new Duck Tales animated series back to tv in 2017… http://www.cnet.com/news/disney-is-bringing-ducktales-back-to-your-tv-screens-in-2017/
Is there a comic play here?

I have verified through numerous independent sources that Superman vol 4 issue 45 variant is misspelled In Japanese. It translates to “FUPAMAN”. Might want to let the rest of the class know
I still have not been able to find the cover.
I would Like to contribute by adding my weekly picks to Comics Heating Up. How can I do this. Is there a sign up page or link you can email me?
Hi Kirk. Email me at apopcomics@gmail.com
Hey Tony, not sure if people are still hunting Straightjacket #3, but it’s part of Midtown’s weekly sale for 40% off with code word foom. It works out to $2.69 before tax and shipping.
The True Believer Deadpool books are also part of it at $.90 each.

Anthony,
I’m currently at a Con in central Mass this weekend. Rebirth books are hot. Selling between $8-10 for hero titles and 12-15 for the Rebirth 1.
Nice. Thanks for that Steven.
Has anyone done any investigating behind why Vision 5 is a $40+ book? Just a low print run? Gotta be hella low for that price.
Did not notice that but will be in the hunt for it and will post it after I go picking for it.
For sure. Good sleeper book.
So I was wondering why Poison Ivy Cycle of Life & Death #2 had a small jump in price… decided to breeze thru the series, and from what I can gather #2 is the 1st appearance of Ivy’s ‘children’ (2 new female characters with accelerated growth, she calls them Hybrid Sporelings). More of a cameo since its last page, but they all live to the end of the series and leave on a bus into the larger DC world.
Issue 2 last page cameo of (as babies) Rose & Hazel
Issue 3 Full appearance of Rose & Hazel (still babies but growing up fast)
Issue 4 1st appearance of Thorn (another Hybrid Sporeling child)
Issue 5 1st appearance of Rose, Hazel & Thorn grown up.
DC Might never do anything with them but if they do, could be hot. There is also a new villain who appears but he may have died, doubt it since he was tossed into a river.
Hey Chris
Heard there was some exposed lady bits in issue two. Not sure how true it is.

Maybe this is what they meant?
Either way, there is some 1st appearances in that series 😛
I guess it is showtime. Lol. I didn’t go back and look.
Anyone noticed the upcoming Justice League of America #9 variant by Jim Lee? Cover art was just posted recently, and features the fight from BvS since it’s a leftover from the BvS variant series from a few months ago. People might have forgotten about it.
This one doesn’t show the cover yet, but it is a cheap pickup http://shrsl.com/?~d7h5
DC actually release the cover art already, but lots of places didn’t pick it up yet, possibly forgotten since it was cancelled/uncancelled at the last minute.

Interesting that article had the Deathstroke artists as Stephen Splatt and not Stephen Platt. Lol.

I have a ?? I’ve been of and on with collecting(ASM 1st series) and selling for a few years. Is the hot season the summer? I’ve sold books on the “bay” this month and lost my but off. Need some inside help
There are a ton of things you can do to increase your chances of selling. Are you using auction or buy it now? Next Sunday is the worst day you can have an auction ending for example (Super Bowl)
I use auctions. And yes I didn’t list anything new today. Just get a little upset that I’ll see a book go for $35 one week then less than $10 the next. And this was a 10 year old lady death comic
ah. Do buy it now for the price you are looking for. 30 day listings. Also, look at recently completed listings for actual going price
Thanks. I will try it out. And I love this website. Even though you’re making me go broke. One more ? On auctions I’ve read that ending on a Sunday is good. But I maybe ending them a little early. Around 6-7 pm central time. Should I be ending them closer to 9. I seem to be getting more buyers on the west coast. Figured 9 pm here would be 7 pm there. Maybe more lookers?
Usually, next sunday is the exception.
And thanks for the kind words. We are here to help.
Sinister Spider-Man 1 had a 1:15 Deodato variant… It’s pretty slick but I don’t think anyone knows about it. Just saying. Max print run possible for it is 2,724 but that’s only assuming that every shop that ordered a copy of it ordered at least 15. I’d guess it’s closer to 2k. There’s also a 2nd print variant that’s kinda cool, no idea on the print run though.
Please delete my posts to Wednesday Open Forum, as I confused Royal City with the Old Guard!
Apologies!
Tim
Anyone know why Blindbox Comics ended there subscription service?
I just heard about that the other day. Profitability I would imagine.
Thank You Anthony. I appreciate the reply! That is sad news. It has been the only subscription service I have been looking forward to.
Is it just me, or is Heathen #2 heating up FAST!?
Hey dude!
Love the site! Just wondering if you had any info on a specific error variant: Wonder Woman Rebirth Gold Foil 1 – the error being a the back cover was made with silver foil (and not gold). There was one on eBay for $6500, but I just bought a raw copy and it’s got the same error… thoughts? Didn’t know if you could present it to the group to get more info on its rarity
In any case, keep up the great work!
Raymond, I have. It heard of the error. But now I want to look into it. I am wondering if you should send that book off to Cgc and note the error. If it get added to the label you are sitting on a gold mine.

Thanks for getting back to me! I’m definitely gonna send it off, so hopefully they make the same grading note (the one on eBay actually stated in the label that it had a manufacturing error). Here’s to hoping this is gonna be crazy rare!
I hope. Man I love stuff like that.
Thanks Anthony for your posts and feedback!
It’s excellent to have your informative videos and tips on speculative comics!
Finally I have a few valuable comics in my collection!!
Shaolin Cowboy has the whole industry nailed down, ha,ha!
Anyway, Heathen #3 at my LCS still has the 2 issues at $20.00 and yet a third has appeared at $17.00! Ha,ha!
I just picked up two copies of Heathen #3 1:5 variant for cover price. Picked up a regular cover 1,2,3 as well. Mel bought the #1 from me.
Anyone looking into Supergirl #5 (Homecoming). 1st appearance of Reign who (speculation) could be on the next season of CW Supergirl. Issues flying off the bay.
Hey!
I got the Generation Gone comics and they are in pristine condition. Thanks!
