I was not a fan of the NOW Silver Surfer run. The story was  and I am personally not a fan of the Allred interiors.

$1495 to attend the JSC luncheon. WTF? 

What a great way to alienate your fanbase.

$1500 is a very high price tag for a luncheon. However, if the remark is on one of his rare convention variants and is a legit character, I feel it could be worth it.

I am a big JSC fan and I certainly dont feel alienated by the price tag. It could be the only time I would ever get to sit down and hang out with my favorite artist. If I can generate the funds, I will probably do it.

While a Campbell variant might be what my PC wants, the investor in me would go with a NYX #3 CGC 9.8

$90 for $12 worth of books with his cover isn't really "retail"....

"Retail," in that I am not paying inflated flip prices. 

I guess I am in the minority in this respect. I hope he continues to pump out more work and I could care less what the print run is on any of it.  As a JSC collector, I love the amount of work he is putting out and the fact that I can get it for"retail."

People are surprised an artist releasing exclusive variants just about every-other week only through his own store is after money?

This is as shocking a revelation as a *insert professional* wanting to do more *professional work* for money. The nerve!

I keep holding out hope that Ashley Eckstien will come to Dallas.....maybe one day..... 

Yup, full set for me on this one. Wallet will be sobbing:p

Wasn't worth the investment to me at $200 + shipping. If you're lucky, you can get $300 + shipping on the bay. Leaves you with $54 profit. $200 to POSSIBLY make $54 is not a wise investment, IMO.

I would like to think that Campbell hopes this happens with this sale and that more of these books get into collectors hands as opposed to flippers. However, at the end of the day, he gonna bank regardless.

Is it just me or did JSC increase their price for the signed venom 3 from $175 (pre the delay) to $200. Maybe they want a slice of the pie from the pre-sellers?

 

Damn! He did increase the price to $200. But now there is an option, not for collectors obviously, described as variant with "some imperfections" for $100.

 

Too bad he's increasing the price to an already very expensive cover.

 

Still cheaper than the bay.

This is why I believe the prices went up. Does not bother me any. He did the cover and if joe schmoe is getting 150+ for the book, why the hell should he not get the same.

What's the chances of the cover being an original art piece similar to DCs Jim Lee sketches? Who would they tap to "almost" make the price worth it? Romita Sr?

I might be tempted if they got Campbell to do a full copic on a blank cover for the 1:1000. But, I am a fanatic about Campbell, sooooo that may not be for everyone.

Hmmm...a 1:1000 variant on a $10 cover price book. That is what, around a $5000 order for most shops? So, this will be a Del'Otto, Hughes, Campbell collaboration of all the spidey ladies in what would likely need to be a inappropriate situation? Or have Ditko sketch a spidey face on a blank for anyone who makes that order? Perhaps a Stan Lee sketch, drawing a $ and a couple "HA HA HA."

Not sure what I would rather have...

I've got a stack of like 30 JSC books that I really want to submit & probably will over the next year or 3.

I have a stack of about 2-3 hundred JSC books I should probably consider grading in the next decade:p

I hear that Batman #25 Zero Year may be worth getting......

I may or may not have 50 of the damn books in a short box I won in an auction....

I am really liking the detail that he did for the Venom cover. I am glad I did not pass on this one. Pretty sure plenty of shade will be thrown its way. Had it been a female pinup sexy Venom, it would have likely been hot like fire....

 

I'm surprised that Marvel didn't pick a female host for Venom this time around.

Kinda surprised as well. It would have a been an interesting story line if Venom snagged Black Cat. And the potential cheesecake variant covers would have been glorious.

I didn't hate it and will see it again one more time in the theatres to take it all in again.

 

A few things I wasn't crazy about....

 

No crawl...made it a regular movie and not SW

 

When John Williams passes movies will never, ever be the same. The music was generic, except for the directly influenced Williams themes.

 

Dr. Evezan giving the exactly same line he uses in Star Wars, and Red Leader and Gold Leader "standing by" stolen directly from Star Wars footage was so hokey and cringe worthy. I also know I'm probably one of two people (other than my daughter) who noticed though.

Personally, I really liked the fact that they took the exact same scenes from the original movies. There are just some parts you can not find a replacement for(i.e Tarkin and Leia) I cringed only slightly when I first saw the initial CGI, but after thinking about it, it was necessary to stay within the spirit of that time of the story line.

On a completely separate note, there was a nod to the Rebels series that was incredibly subtle that I did not even notice on the first viewing.

One for your lulz list:

All Star Comics #8 (1st WW)

Slightly more attainable:

Batman Adventures #12 (1st Harley Quinn)

JSC has a venom 3 variant coming in January. Does anyone know the incentive ratio on this one? Who is the new venom? Are we looking at an MJ or Gwen stacy venom?

I was told it was a 1:100

mmmmm Campbell Supergirl......yup yup!

Are they really $500 and UP?? I thought that was the price in pesos... but guess I was wrong

It ran me $64 and change for both plus shipping. Definitely not $500:p

It appears that the ComicXposure Avengers #1 variant is.......sold out.

What is the print run looking like on the 1 in 25 Vader 3 Larocca variant? Has to be high I would think.

I would imagine a number higher than 1, yet lower than 1 million

But...but.....GOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!

If I could afford one, sure:p
