An all-new ongoing fantasy series filled with suspense and mystery

Creator/writer Joshua Williamson (NAILBITER, GHOSTED), artist Andrei Bressan and colorist Adriano Lucas present BIRTHRIGHT, a bold new fantasy adventure from Skybound/Image Comics, debuting this October.

What started as a game of catch in the park between father and son turned into a parent’s worst nightmare. For the Rhodes family, losing their son was the most devastating thing that could’ve ever occurred… but it couldn’t prepare them for what happened when he returned. Skybound’s newest original series will turn fantasy into reality in this oversized debut issue.

Williamson explained BIRTHRIGHT’s origin predates both his current hit horror series: "People have asked me if I get worried about being typecast. But I knew BIRTHRIGHT was coming. Even though it opens with what I think is one of the scariest things imaginable in real life... it's a fantasy adventure book at heart. And one Skybound and I have been working on for a long time. Before GHOSTED even came out.

“As a fan of adventure and fantasy stories as a kid... it was always great seeing these young kids going on amazing journeys to far way magical lands. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Peter Pan, Explorers, The Neverending Story, Wizard of Oz, Flight of the Navigator. But there were never any real consequences to those adventures... What happens when you come home from this great adventure? What do you do next? How do you go back to normal life?

“Those thoughts lead to my obsession with the idea of destiny. If your whole life has been about one moment... one thing that you had to accomplish... what do you do after it is over? How do you go on knowing that the main reason you were born is finished?

“That's what Birthright is about: what happens after the adventure."

BIRTHRIGHT #1 arrives in stores on 10/8, as an oversized 40 page issue.

Well I would say #8.........but I don't know much......

Grabbed a few copies and the variant for Edge of the Spider-verse #2.

 

The shop didn't even know they had copies left... felt quite lucky.

Slim pickings on eBay as well for this book.

Marvel was doing interesting things at the time as well, but many will not see too much of a spike, I wouldn't think. They rebooted the main characters coming out of the Onslaught - Heroes Reborn (edit - maybe it was Heroes Return - i am getting old). The Iron Man and Cap were both very good. The Busiek/Perez Avengers was odd, great at times, weird at times. I liked the Jake Olsen Thor for the first 12 issues or so because of that evil Pantheon that was whupping Asgard's tail. I loved the Thunderbolts.

 

I wasn't reading Spider-Man. I didn't start reading the Hulk again until Bruce Jones took over. There were lots of other books that I didn't read - Reboots of Defenders, New Warriors, Nova etc. It was quite like the new 52 without the concerted effort.

 

The Black Panther series was good. I really liked the Mutant X book about Havok slipping into an alternate Universe where the X-Men were evil. Bernie Wrightson did a weird Punisher book where Frank Castle was killing for heaven. Marvel Boy was very interesting.

 

Marvel was publishing interesting books during this time frame, and they kept me interested until the rebooting after rebooting started in 2008 or so.

Ahhhh the good ol days..........Marvel just won't stop rebooting as far as I can see it anyway, as long as they sucker people into buying all the books over and over again it will never stop.

Ahh, so you're looking at the SOLD listings only.

 

Have to be careful there, as some of those sales go back to early August.

 

That's why I look at Completed; shows you what sold AND what didn't. So DCP #27 may have been selling for $25 in August, but no one is really buying it now.

 

I was buying these for $1 last year. Seem to be doing pretty good to me.

 

Where were you finding them? I've been watching for them on eBay for well over a year and they don't come up that often in high grade.

 

LCSs that are out of touch with current market values.

So true.

You guys don't really wonder why this died do you?? Go back and look at just the last few pages...... It's a freakin mess. People scared and people just really don't have time for that. It's like a bunch of schoolyard kids........

Thanks guys........but as many of us know from years of digging, these are few and far between...... Just glad I ran into one. No lie I probably look at 20 collections of crapola for every one of these I find.

Cheers!

Good day today from a Craigslist add...... Along with the below I picked up 3 long boxes . Runs of ASM from 260 - 340 , multiple copies of Hulk McFarlands and nice runs of xfactor, hulk, Thor, action, Tec, Bats and Groo.............tons of newsstand issues as well.

Modern Coupon received 8/18.......shipped 9/18

Modern regular received 8/18 and no movement yet.

Awesome guy.Paid within minutes! Wish they could all be like him!

Picked these up at a garage sale. Good day!

Pick this up at a garage sale

This is how I have mine setup. Be sure to use the sort function for all the columns. That way you can add new books at the bottom and instantly arrange it. :cheers:

 

Thanks, that's how I have mine set up too. I only have about half of them cataloged so far.... It takes a ton of time!

Cheers

my collection is just over 600 and shrinking.

I have sold alot over the last few years, but I'm still around 30-40 boxes. Been selling more then buying again this year.

How do you guys that use Excel to catalog set it up? Just curious.

Peace

Now here is a deal I just ran across on the Bay.

Still I am stumped why no one has bought these by now?

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=251555792422&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

I have a few for sale here, maybe I should add a few 000000's to them

I thought I was giving a really good deal to Boardies. Mr. Analyzes everything, great analogy again, god I miss you..

 

I am sure it was a good deal, I hope you sell them, but you are working against yourself when it just looks like dumping.

 

 

First of all if I decide to sell 1 or 20 it's my business. And if I decide to dump giving a great deal, again, it's my business. Are you serious with your statements. A person decides to sell, is it not his decision. You sit back as you usually do and analyze everything. Make your opinions and comments like you always do, Mr. Know it all, next time I post something I will ask you the professional of when it's a good time I should sell my stuff. You are pathetic bro, you really are..Next time go find someone else to attack with your dumping statement against me.

He was just trying to give some advice. I understand his statement and also agree with it. On the other hand I also understand your point, they are your books and you can do as you please with them. All he was trying to say is if you flood the market, the supply will be more then the demand, making the value decrease.

Good luck with your sales.

True. My thinking was along the lines of the guy who buys a ASM every month probably doesn't buy any more variant copies of each issue than the guy buying Southern Bastards. I think any more than 4 or 5 variants of a book seem to drive down demand for the primary cover AND the variants.

Publishers love the variants for the money they generate, but it drives completist and collectors mad!

What if they do kill him off for good?....

Marvel published more Death of Wolverine 1 variants than most companies publish comics.

 

What is the official count on the number of variants for this title?

Around the same of most of the recent Image titles

 

 

Midtown is showing 11 Death of Wolverine variant covers (I don't count any of the signed books) and I suspect more than Midtown has released an exclusive for this book.

 

I know Walking Dead has had a few covers which had a high number of variants. But most of the recent Image titles have? Do you have examples?

 

 

Wayward had a ton. Between 6 - 8 from what I remember.

Nailbiter, Deadly Class, Southern Bastards

 

Spider-man had more variants than Wayward, Nailbiter, Deadly Class, and Southern Bastards combined.

While this is true, you can't compare the amount of Spidey fans to those other titles......Spidey will always sell well out of the gate.

Upgraded just in the nick of time.....

 

Ya that book went Zero to Hero in a hurry....... Nice grab!

And th hits keep on coming.... Holy smokes!

Got my box from comicalgems today!! Just awesome is all I can say. Very kind ...

There was also alot of butthurt a while back as well......I am sure it scared off a ton of people. There are some people who don't know when to just let things play out. They always think they need to comment......

Great series! Great RAK for someone!
