  1. I’ve cut back on my purchases and usually hit up my local store, so forgive me if I missed something on this.

    Pre-ordered a Marvel Omnibus last year.  Order says the item has been pulled, but no shipment.  Emailed with no response.  Was looking around online and some reviews say the store is permanently closed.  
     

    Anyone know?  Thanks

    Stefan's post suggests that a pen-and-ink Kubert original was attached to an NFT and sold for a multiple of what it might have otherwise. If so, this will have an impact on the hobby we love. Also, I understand why artists would be excited to collect a percentage when their artwork is sold again. It sounds as if some contracts will give them that percentage even when the art sells at a loss... again, if I'm understanding the current madness correctly.

    My concern with including the pen-and-ink original with some of these NFT sales, besides the potential for the physical OA marketplace to be driven up even further, is that if these nouveau digital art buyers, who have been into crypto long before Bitcoin and the like became popular, only care about the digital product, how many of those physical pieces could just disappear because the digital buyer views them as disposable?

    Jason at one point brought up that NFT could serve as the CGC for comic art.  I really didn't buy into that comparison.  Maybe it's the years spent in this forum, but I've seen it mentioned here time and time again that CGC isn't needed for comic art, so why would NFT (unless a purely digital piece of work)?

  3. Marvel Comics #1000 was filled with these great one page stories, many of which offered clues to future story lines along the Marvel Comics line.  This was one of my favorites and I was glad to add the original art by Dustin Weaver to my collection.  Not only does it celebrate one of the greatest X-Men crossovers of all time, "The Age of Apocalypse", but it also features one of the first looks at the original Horsemen of Apocalypse, who will have a larger role in the current "X of Swords" taking place in the X books.

    No, It's Jorge's first interior page featuring Punchline. Different. Either way, it's somewhat high imo. But most of his other pages featuring Punchline have sold.  Sooner or later There will be be buyer for it. 

    Thanks.  Edited for clarity.

    I had a couple early David Marquez mono-prints from his "All New X-Men" run, but ended up selling them.  They just weren't for me.  I do recognize that they are another option in the hobby though and are a way for younger collectors to afford art.  I think if the art depicts a singular moment in comics, I would consider it.  If the image was iconic and the price is right, I probably would give it some thought as well.

    If I had seen this piece by Dauterman before it sold, I definitely would have give it some consideration for the $300 asking price: https://russelldauterman.square.site/product/marauders-01-variant-cover-red-queen-artist-s-proof/131?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=4
