Dark Horse is the big winner. Briggs Land ( AMC TV show ? ) and Black Hammer are rocking the secondary market. Especially when taking into account the initial cost of each. Hoping that Black Hammer is ongoing. It grabbed me in the same way Invincible did the first time I read it. Black Mask are masters of marketing. They are far from being the next Image. Monstress as a title has almost as many completed sales as the entire Black Mask line on ebay. Take out variants and Monstress wins. Thats 1 Image title vs an entire line. BM is more comparable to Enormous on certain titles. Small audiences with even smaller print runs. The marketing is exceptional. Take a book that say 100-150 people might want, make 66 copies, and voila. Short printed books that bring money and get all of our favorite spec sites and bloggers noticing. Its brilliant and I hope it works for them. Rebirth Foil covers ROCK IDW has a couple of sleepers on hand with Rom and Archangel foil. I'm not certain how big their audiences are but the print runs are small and Rom is being integrated into his 2nd very popular universe. that should stand out to people. The Marvel Cho variants are pretty cool. The only concern here is that there are a LOT of CWII variants. If CWII has a big cover, it will be these or the Noto's imo. Other Marvel stuff was just okay. Image nailed it for Negan fans (I'm not one of them) and prices are good for Horizon, which I haven't read yet, and Snotgirl, which I jumped off the bandwagon as of issue #1. You'd be better off putting any money you had set aside for Snotgirl and buy something like Monstress #1 with it imo. I'm sure I missed lots of stuff but these were all of the books I watched since Wednesday. Can someone with the rebirth foils in hand, confirm the condition of these books. I was told by a pretty reliable source that the print run on these was terrible and HQ is going to be very difficult with these? I saw them first hand and yes, they were horrible. All of them had spine issues and the foil DC used was super thin. I had Cynthia from CCS take a look at it and even she needed a 2nd opinion could be pressed out. So, I'll have to wait and see what happens there. But yeah... bad shape!

Just noticed this amongst all of the BS 32/New Superman 1 talk....

Looks like Aspen has removed the 2nd print from their site. Could mean it's another sell out for them. Kudos to them for making this pre-sale smoother than others.

Just purchased my 1 copy of Batman #1 2nd print. Woohoo... Was a little slow, but everything processed and received my receipt. Anyone else getting theirs today?

Wow, they actually look a lot nicer than what's posted on their site. Can't wait for mine to arrive?!

Unfortunately, that information didn't come in the email I received. I'm hoping it's still in the 3k/1.5k category.

Just received an email from Aspen: "You read that right! The one and only Harley Quinn is getting the Michael Turner Aspen Exclusive treatment! The AspenStore.com pre-order begins Monday, July 11th at 9am PST/12pm EST! This gorgeous cover is drawn by the legendary Michael Turner, with colors by the amazing Peter Steigerwald! Get your hands on the beautiful full-color Michael Turner cover for $14.99, or grab the set of both color, and the limited edition black-and-white Artist Edition for $29.99! But act fast, these books usually sell out within hours of going on sale! Don't miss your chance to own a unique piece of Michael Turner history! There will be a very strict limit of 2 PER ACCOUNT, and additional orders will be cancelled and refunded!" PreSales for Micheal Turners' Exclusive Harley Quinn #1 starts on Monday, July 11th!

Any idea on when the pre-sale for the Harley Quinn Rebirth variant will be available at the Aspen Store? I've been receiving emails from other comic shops stating pre-sales for Harley are available now. So, my best guess is that the pre-sale will be happening soon, but I could use some help... Thanks!

As a FYI, looks like you can still buy the Color copy of JL 1. Looks like they may have over printed this one... Or maybe people just didn't like the cover?!

I'm done..Was able to score my 3 sets. Good Luck to everyone! Seriously, thanks for all the advice guys! Really appreciate it!

Weird... Sets popped back up again.. was able to get another one... So, that makes 2.. trying for 3.

Color is limited to just 1 now... WOW!

was able to score 1 set with the 2nd wave. tried adding multiple, but as krighton mentioned was kicking me back out... tried going back to add 1, and i couldn't as the site mentioned sold out... Color is the only one available right now

Also sold out of the color! ARGH!

Sold out before I could complete the order....

Any luck with those JLs appearing on their site? I haven't seen anything yet....

Nice grab Krighton... I think all of these "new" Turner variants are really helping his older stuff as people are getting more interested in what he's done.

The JSC ASM #15 Color and B&W Set Sold Out! Looks like I missed out on this one! Hopefully, he'll release more.

Wow! I know one of them was done at Mega Con! Nice one Doug!

Nice one Doug!!!

Adding my FCBD MFT books: Received & Verified: 5/17 Scheduled for Grading: ?? Graded: ?? QC: ?? Shipped: ?? By any chance, does anyone know if CGC docks a book a grade or two if the book contains a "stamp" of the comic book store? All of my books I received from FCBD contain the stamp from the comic book store I got them from.

Do we know when this variant will be coming out?
