  1. 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.
  2. Yeah that definitely comes across in the piece. Kind of has an Unforgiven vibe (which is actually pretty appropriate for the Crow).
  3. Wow! I love that Aggression Scale sketch. I'm going to try to pick something up from James at NYCC.
  4. DC rebirth has killed the new52's And how. Those damn foil variants, shoulda grabbed some on the cheap Jerome I was wondering what would become of the new 52s. Batman 1 is still putting up good numbers. Rebirth will go the same way after DCs next reboot. I'm usually anti-variant for investment, but that Snyder run (particularly Court of Owls) will go down as a classic. Might be a good book to pick up if it drops too far.
  5. The best was when I asked him what was up with Bedlam 1's ten or so covers and he condescendingly told me it was OK because some DC book had 50 Dude came across as an arrogant head on the boards. That's why people don't like him - not because of free book PMs or whatever.
  6. What's the future like? Apparently the future has some sick art.
  7. And the movie is back on (for now) with Jason Momoa. http://io9.gizmodo.com/jason-momoa-is-going-from-aquaman-to-the-crow-1785091840
  8. In the spirit of this thread, I have to recommend that you sell 'em all and upgrade to an A-Level Preacher page. $1K each might be a little aggressive for Tulip-only pages - Albert still had some pages from the Tulip issue at the Original Art con back in April in the $600 range (and I'd have to think Preacher was a little hotter back then before the show received a very mixed reaction).
  9. He was probably reading this thread
  10. Brutal page - I like it a lot! Congrats!
  11. What did the issue 2 splash go for? Can't find it on the site.
  12. You have to change the criteria for art that's collected almost entirely because of the book's story. Your list is perfect for categorizing big-name-artist superhero pages, but not a book like Preacher IMO.
  13. Yeah, I don't understand the early action on that #55 page. I guess the market was just really hungry for a page with lots of Herr Starr. It doesn't even have interesting dialog, IMO.
  14. Well, at least Greg's pricing strategy is working out for someone. He goes full on psycho with his primary prices and the secondary market follows
  15. Yeah this isn't a case where you can really blame the creators. Both of them are super talented hard working guys. The book kicks but the sales numbers just weren't there. Maybe with a fall relaunch it'll finally get the love it deserves.
  16. I'm pretty sure somebody told me it's digital. Of course I may just be saying that to throw off other collectors looking for the original
  17. We were talking about this decade I do agree that 451 is fantastic though. That was one of my first Batman books too, so nostalgia is strong for that one.
  18. Detective 880 already has that honor locked up, IMO.
  19. This is a great post. However, I don't think killing Eugene would make the audience truly hate him. The people I talk to about the show IRL would totally embrace him if he beat down the Euge.
  20. you don't have to be a fan of every episode to keep watching a show
  21. Negan delivered his lines well and was almost likeable, but didn't really have the physical presence I'd expect from someone who likes to beat peoples' heads in with a baseball bat. I know Hollywood likes everyone to be skinny these days, regardless of role, but they should have gone with someone a little bulkier IMO. Negan is a power-hitting first baseman, not a lead-off shortstop.
