Just caught up. Holy mess that was cool!

That was boring as Hell, but The Strain last night....WOW
Was The Strain the season finale? Need to catch up on the last couple eps.

The 'math and science' comment in the book is ironic. You expect her to say she's obsessed with boys, but she flips it around to show you that she's a geek who isn't like other girls. Sarcasm.

No, three online stores sold them. I assume they arranged the art and commissioned the run from Marvel. Shop variant.
-
So it looks like the "secret" variant is a virgin cover. Works for me. Thank god it's not a reverse negative.

Lowered prices are only on Haunt + Spawn; not Batman. I've found they've actually increased Batman prices since I first saw the list
I know they sold a number of Spawn pieces but haven't yet updated the site, oddly. The 54 cover is inked by McFarlane. Every new Spawn piece there credits McFarlane as inker, but I'm not sure if that's correct, having done a bit of research...Best to clarify with them.
Curious if this means Danny will be allowed to sell his covers through ArtistsChoice for under 30K now, given Greg's $4-8K covers.
Haunt prices are reasonable, but I believe they're only half the set. If I'm not mistaken, Glapion has his own inks for those which don't seem to be included in the sale.
Quite a few of the later covers he listed are inked by Todd.
Even the all-Capullo covers really don't seem that overpriced compared to what other early 90s art has been selling for. #20 isn't the best, but $4K seems like a fair deal.

Hardly a big deal on the page above. I actually kinda like it in the middle of all that white space.

I'd think most online retailers savvy enough to commission a limited run secret variant of a book would also be savvy enough to hold back some of the best copies for slabbing. There's no reason not to.
I'd expect a similar situation with the Dell'Otto books. Doesn't mean there won't still be plenty of 9.8s to go around.
I'm on the fence whether I should sell one of my secret sets on fleabay now since they seem to be heating up, $400-ish quick return is hard to turn down

Probably not a bad idea, TBH. I doubt these will be available cheap in the near future, but that's a lot of money on the table right now for something you just paid $50-75 for.

I highly doubt they kill Negan off in the comic right when he's really just being introduced in the show.
The Governor was killed off long before his TV appearance.
Right. Obviously the long dead Governor wasn't available to be a living character in the book during his big TV launch. Comic Negan is alive and kicking and his presence as an active participant in the book can only help its sales while AMC hypes the mess out of the TV version.

I'll be there 3 out of 4 days

Kinda fugly, TBH. They blew up an interior panel and somehow made it look worse than the original.

Maybe the apocalypse somehow isn't the end?

Guess I should have bought more. Jeez

If you show your art publicly, then you are not a "black hole collector." It's that simple.
For me it has more to do with resale. If nothing ever escapes the collection, then it's a black hole even if some of the art is displayed or discussed publicly
Yep. Like Daren just said, the term was coined by pieces going in but never escaping. Once it enters the black hole it's gone forever from the market.
If you can see the art publicly, then it is not "inescapable."
I definitely disagree with this part. There are countless pieces of art on public display that can't be touched with any amount of money. Likewise, public offers are very effective at drawing out the unseen art.

I'm not a Gabriel fan, so I don't mind him going out...but why train him to be a soldier just to waste that mini-plotline.
I always liked how TWD killed off characters mid-plotline. Just like real life, you leave loose ends when you get disemboweled by a homicidal maniac dressed as a zombie.

That's gotta be a massive record for a panel page from that story arc (easily my least favorite, as well as the one with the most readily available art).

What is Hogans Alley? When I think of that I think of the 1985(?) nintendo game, but I googled it just now to find to my surprise that the name , if I have this straight, came from an immigrant community here in Vancouver. What is the Hogans Alley to which you refer?
I'm guessing it's this site:

All this Crow art talk has inspired me to post my page:

It was on eBay a few months ago (and a few pages back in this thread).

Long term is exactly what you should be thinking on the regular cover of this book. There's no initial rush from speculators to buy up all the copies.
If the book has a great run (which it should with Wood behind it) it'll probably be a $10 book eventually. If it becomes an AMC show, who knows. Not really much down side unless sales suck and it wraps up early (or never) as many books seem to do these days.
So...you're saying there's a chance...?!
Yes. There's a 100% chance that if the book doesn't stay at cover price, it will either go up or down in value.

WTF is up with the minimum values? Y the Last Man #1 minimum value $1. For what, a copy used as toilet paper? Totally meaningless numbers all around on this list.
