$577 Congrats! Absolutely nuts.

Hey ES, how many hours a night do you sleep between your duties as Image's publisher and having to churn out NWM each month? You sound like you have a chaotic schedule.

Not from here, someone from the iFanboy community, actually. -e.s. Eric Stephenson Publisher Image Comics, Inc. www.imagecomics.com Nate's art was actually what attracted me to pick up the book before I even read it.

NWM = this generation's FF

PFFFT! People pay stupid prices for stupid things. Stupid!

Such a good book.

Spine ticks seem to be common with this book. I didn't have any such issues with first print #2, but #1 was atrocious. And second print #2 was pretty bad too.

how about a coloring book instead?

Anyone monitoring this bad boy? http://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAuctions%2Fsearch.asp%3FFocusedOnly%3D1%26where%3Dauctions%26title%3Dms%2Bmarvel%2B1%26x%3D0%26y%3D0%26ItemType%3DCB%23Item_965188&id=965188 Any chance Ms. Marvel 1 9.8 finishes around $400? Would be nuts if it did.

Let's move on to discussing something we can all agree on: NWM IS AN AWESOME TITLE! What I want to know is: When's the television show/movie coming out?

I can't believe this is for real, but it looks like it. Ms Marvel 1 CGC 9.4--over $200 shipped. http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=200907620831&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:BIDN&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2765 Whoever won that auction could've BIN'd a 9.6 WP for the same price.

Makes me even happier I ordered this before the rush...Crystalized Gorilla FTW! pretty cool

Derrr... Mah bad. Post fixed.

Nowhere Men Thought Bubble 9.8 just sold for nearly $785 shipped. Awfully tough to find this book in 9.8. Wouldn't be surprised if the CGC census, when the dust settles, shows fewer than 80 9.8s in total. Could be even fewer 9.8s than Saga RRP. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281083109633?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

As someone said previously, I think now would be a great time to buy some 9.8s. This book has nowhere to go but up. No pun intended. When the movie gets made, dont say I didn't tell you so.

Nova 1 cgc 9.8 sold for $500 http://www.ebay.com/itm/221106335358?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

And let's face it. Call the Comics Pro and CBDLF variants what you will--they're glorified reprints. There will always only be one first print and one first print variant, the Thought Bubble.

I agree that they don't care about the secondary market, but how exactly does producing two additional variants at 500 copies per, besides the TB variant and the reprints, attract readership? One big thing that attracts readership, besides producing a good book with great writing and art, is the price and collectibility of a book's back issues. I think Kevin is right that these Comics Pro and CBLDF variants just dilute the collectibility and value of issue 1. I think the regular cover and reprint of issue would've kept chugging along were it not for the release of these other two variants. But since these variants' release, the prices of the older issue 1s have taken a hit. Not sure what impact these developments will have on the TB variant.

Yep, I keep telling my buddy that this is the 21st century's answer to the Fantastic Four. I love how this book is developing. Just brilliant stuff.

If? No, no, no, sir. It will. This title is just so damned good. I will say I wasn't sold on it after the first two issues. But issue 3 nailed it for me. I love it so much, I went wild getting thought bubble variants yesterday on the selling forum. I might end up regretting it, but I'm a believer.

What are the print runs for the cbdlf and comicspro variants? Have only seen the print run numbers for the thought bubble. I'm sorry if this was discussed earlier. Tried searching for it in the thread and came up empty. Thanks!

This series is so damned good! I never buy modern slabs but I'm tempted to buy an issue 1 9.8. And I already have 3 raw 1s. So damned good.
