44,311 copies of Thanos 13 1st print shipped from Diamond, followed by 25,578 copies of Thanos 14. I'd bet there are 20,000 copies or so of the lenticular cover out there. Marvel played a bunch of games with the ordering on those lenticular covers, eg. you had to order a bunch of the regular cover to qualify, then you could order as many lenticulars as you wanted. Now see how that worked out, the regular cover is gold and the lenticular is selling for cover price. Marvel won't be able to pull that scam again.. for a few years anyway, until people forget. But be sure to pick up "Thanos Annual #1" in a few weeks, and pay no attention to that old "Thanos Annual #1" published back in 2014.

No shops around here got the Thanos #13 1:25 variant or else I would've grabbed it, it's one of those series that just a few shop regulars were reading during Lemire's run so I'm guessing that even with Infinity War on the horizon, nobody went heavy on it.

They all finally caught on and went big on the 2nd and 3rd printings but still not so much with the 1st prints of the entire run at all, not even the last 2 issues when the series was established as a hit.

Point being, the lenticular will slowly rise in price, (currently $50-$60 in 9.8 which isn't bad) people are going to want complete sets because it's one of the few bright spots from Marvel in the last decade

Detective 880

Wolverine Origins 10

Transmetropolitan  1

Thanos 13

How about that new issue??

I think TWD is about to cover some social problems that were going on before the apocalypse started.

They finally went and made the comic as boring as the tv show. Without Negan I have no use for either

There's this thing called ebay, it has a search feature. Perhaps you heard of it?

Picked these up yesterday for $3 each. Not too shabby

So it has been decided that is the first app, not the apocolypse version in factor x 1?

Seems to be, perhaps the Factor X is easier to find in the cheapo bins. I've gotten 6 or 7 of them in the last week but only managed 1 copy of X-Force 82. 5 copies of New Mutants #8 as well

Web of spiderman 97 and 99,

 

Those were the books of the week like 2 weeks ago. Now it's X-Force 82

You have a book heating up, by all means, post it!

Moon Girl #28

While everyone is having a fire sale and dumping off their copies on ebay, this book will take off big time when the next Infinity comic series comes out in Summer. Omnipotentis (what a stupid name) is featured in the preview.

Crazy low print run at around 7,000 copies

What would reshoots have to do with anything? Any movie that has a decent budget has reshoots.

Just that the movie release was pushed back a year, allegedly because "it wasn't scary enough"

Because of New Mutants 8 and X-Force 116 heating up, expect to see the other issues from those runs get hoarded because who knows which characters will be in the next Deadpool / X-Force movie, or even the NM movie for that matter since they;ve gone to reshoots.

I'm betting on Dead Girl and have been grabbing X-Force 125 / 126 out of dollar bins like a maniac

Should I try to jump on an ASM 300 now or do y'all think it will cool down after the movie? It's getting out of my reach now

If you know what they go for and like the book, buy one.

Seriously, this is what the boards have come to anymore SMH

Why would some director's comments about "Kirby homage UV explosions" (whatever the hell that means) in Blade I, II, XVII, XXVII, or whatever give us hope, in general, that a proposed modern "Fourth World" movie (made nearly two decades later by a different director) would be anything other than yet another bog-standard modern superhero CGI slug-fest with all the same turgid/PC-adjusted backstories, clich´éd tropes, posturing, bombast, and general lack of subtlety we've come to expect and accept from this rubbish?

Kirby's "Fourth World" was a failed experiment precisely because the mainstream of the pop-cultural subset (i.e., comic books) in which it unfolded at the time didn't get it, and wasn't patient enough commercially to let its visionary and highly idiosyncratic myth-making run its natural course. 

I appreciate and admire your optimism re: the movie(s), but I see no compelling reason to share it...

^^THIS! Why would anyone in their right mind trust Warner /DC to not screw this up given their horrible track record?

It'd be pretty funny given all the hype if Marvel kills him off in ASM #800

Dark Days The Casting #1, last page cameo, it's not an ad. You may wanna go back and read it. 2 months before Metal #2 and Teen Titans #12

  What part of the first season on the show was in the comics?

The names of the characters and there was a church?

Say it ain’t so about TWD

Guess I should dust off some these boxes and start selling now...

If you look at the 1st appearances of characters who were introduced on the show in the last few years it's been a steady tick downward.

The most recent CGC 9.8 ebay sales:

92 Jesus $95

98 Dwight $65

100 2nd Print Negan $90 (ouch!)

108 Ezekiel $70

not to mention 127($45) and 132 ($30)

Point being that anyone who makes their debut on the TV show, it will be a character who was introduced in the comic Post All Out War, i.e. everyone bought multiple copies, sometime as many as 10, 20 or 30.

I hate to admit it but there's very little  money to be made with 1st apps unless the show goes balls out insane with the Whisperers / Alpha / Beta / Lydia and even then that's a huge "if."

Updated for Walking Dead

FlyingDonut: Idk man, Andrew Lincoln deserved an Emmy last season just for the snot bubble

It's the next "hot" modern issue that everyone wants to have multiple copies of but with so most shops ordering just for folks who have it on their pull list, it may not be so easy.

Having said that, I found a few on the racks yesterday after hitting up 3 shops in search of ASM variants.

Seriously though, I think it is even cheaper now than before the rumors of a show even started surfacing

#1- the tv show sucks

#2 -the 66 issues and one-shots have been around long enough that anyone who wanted to complete their collection had ample time to do so

#3 - fans of the show who weren't already comic collectors will seek out the TPBs

#4 - Walking Dead will be suffering a similar fate soon enough

Watching BP on my firestick since I don't really have an interest in paying to see it in the theatres. Well, I'm 45 minutes into it and here I am on here. God, this movie is boring as Hell

Infinity Countdown 1 Adi Granov variant

 

Thought this might slide under the radar...wrong. This one is hot and if people buy books just for the cover art, its likely to stay that way Avery long time. 

$7 is "hot"? or did you mean hot as in "she looks hot?"

I hate Marvel's constant re-numbering to boost sales, but I gotta say, I'm a little excited by some of the new offerings and creative moves.

I'm interested to see Jeff Lemire writing The Sentry after what he did with the Thanos run.

Also interested in seeing how Ta-Nehisi Coates handles Cap.

Al Ewing is probably one of Marvel's best writers at the moment so despite not exactly liking the premise of the new Hulk, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Cosmic Ghost Rider has been a hit so I'll probably get his miniseries.

Jason Aaron's Thor run has been great and I see no reason why the new series will be any different.

And then of course Avengers, just because I like Ed McGuinness' slightly cartoony style.

Jeff Lemire writing The Sentry, count me in for that. If it's even half as good as his Moon Knight and Thanos runs, it'll be worth the $4 or $5 every issue

Every new movie/show had the chance to bring in new readers, but it's always been a question of "do any of them stick?" and thus far, the answer has been "almost none"

Of course, that doesn't mean this won't be the time that that changes.

It's like how The NHL thought for many years "The Olympics will attract new viewers to our regular season games" but they never did

Supposedly Cates' Thanos series is ending with issue 18 with an annual to follow shortly after, not "officially confirmed" but no issue is solicited for May.

Marvel has an actual hit series for once that wasn't hyped up as an all-new race/gender swap reboot and they can't see it in front of their faces.

But something like Moon Girl which sells around 7,000 copies will still be on the racks monthly no doubt..
