Book is on fire.

Well I'll never be convinced 40k is a "high" print run.
It outsold all but the top 44 comics in March 2016. Seems high to me.
Wasn't NYX series geared towards a certain demographic (young female) ? My one good friend said that series didn't hold his interest.

I just checked the Census, and wow, there are waaaaaaay more NYX #3 9.8's out there then I thought... I had once heard it was a "rare" book. Yeah... Not so much.
I remember when the comic came out (2000 ish I think)I heard that the artist (Middleton) brought atleast 100 copies and sent it directly to CGC. He knew who was being introduced in the comic, that's the reason why he sent that many. He then sold all of them in eBay a few months/year after, for a good $$$...... atleast that's what I've heard
I've never seem one for sale at LCS here or any conventions, It may not be "rare" but it isn't plentiful either. My guess is of the 40 k print run at least 50-60% is held by collectors.
And who are the other 40-50% held by?
CGC maybe idk?

I could have swore before reading the label that that was a weird sketch. Its his sig....just wow.

not sure they were that careful loading the A bomb on the Enola Gay
My grandfather fueled up that plane when it stopped in Hawaii.

NM 87 selling very well in NM raw conditions. I suppose since the Deadpool 2 is official people are seeking it out.

I'm sure this will be up on Stan Lee's site shortly. Some people get so impatient.
What a great cover....
Looks like Stan Lee got his neck snapped and can't move at all.
Yea, posture is definitely off.
GIF FTW!

I encountered a group of black eyed children years ago. I flashed my headlights at them and then realized they were just Marilyn Manson fans.

if she wants to know his last name....just dig out his wallet after he's dead....
But that lacks a little of the dramatic effect that asking him has...and it's more entertaining for us the way they did it instead
Shows she's not thinking things through.
Dig for his wallet, he turns walker, and bites her hand. Sounds about right unless she's a survivor.

Farlaine better return at some point.
I hope so! If I could pay the bills with the work, I'd be drawing him in a monthly!
Farlaine needs more people to know he exists!! Help spread the word! Face tattoos and rental zeppelins are both encouraged.
His appeal is endless IMO. I'm surprised animation or kid networks haven't been poking you for a deal yet.
-
Congrats ! I'm happy for you ! That was quick and you deserve it. I wish you were doing more than 7 but I get it. You have a story to tell and all great stories have an ending.
The once you're done, there's always the next story! And what's to say the next story isn't even better?
Farlaine better return at some point.

Haunted Mansion really picking up with issue 2 coming out, wish I had bought more of these
And it has a really really really small print run
Is this any different than what happened with Figment?
I think it's actually got more legs than Figment, but it's no different than any other comic that gets hot with a smallish print run, sells out and people want it.
Or people are made to think they want it...
I thought Eddie Murphy put a nail in this coffin years ago.
-
Its not done its just the boards being boards about negative news. I will say it seems Image books in the last 2-3 years all have some "issue" with coming out on any reasonable schedule.
-
Image writers and artists must be under a lot more pressure than those that work at marvel or dc.
Seems like virtually every life occurrence delays image comics
I can't imagine DC or Marvel would tolerate the common delays that have occurred with several Image titles. It may be known within DC and Marvel that you either produce or you are out of the job. That's a motivating fear that may not come with independently owned titles.
Yep it doesn't seem like delays are tolerated at the big 2.

I look for the desperate dealers at the end of the last day, and toss out cash money lowballs left and right.
From a business stand point, this makes sense to me. Albeit your harsh tone. Sad but true.
As the old adage goes: Desperate times call for desperate measure
That doesnt mean its smart, but if a dealer had a slew of bad turnouts at cons, he still has to go back home and feed his family
Yeah, agreed with you both, on both counts.
Whenever I have a bad show, I think about some sagely advice that Al Stolz of Basement Comix relayed to me and a couple dealer friends of mine, years ago while we were talking shop at a small con.
"No matter how bad a show is, never blow out".
I've held fast to that tidbit, actually somewhat to Al's chagrin, when he's offered to buy books from my wall at shows.I counter his offer with that qoute, actually..he gets a lil chuckle out of that.
I offer my table stock at competitive prices ( I don't carry .50 cent or $1 books) ...and I will cut (and virtually always do) a few bucks off virtually any sale, just to be friendly and build a repoire with buyers.Even if I am not asked, ...and I know that the buyer pulled out books that were already priced on the low end, I'll shave 10% off his stack.Or if he goes to town and picks 30 SA books out of my $10's, I'lleither give him 5 books for free or knock $50 off the tab.
I'll tell a guy to pick a book out of my $3 boxes for free, after he buys two of my $5 books.........or a single $10 book, and he pays me.
People remember those sorts of gestures.
If somebody ever wants to buy out all of my table stock, they can have it for twenty five cents on the dollar.
Hell, I'd be happy to get .33 cents on the dollar in trade value, towards bigger ticket books or slabs.
When you coming to the midwest? At those deals I'd buy from you.

I may just start exclusively buying 2nd prints and ditch 1st altogether.
-
This was ECCC. I could have taken dozens of pictures like this. One dealer had every book priced except for Walking Dead #100 2nd print, so I asked how much. $199. I asked how much he was buying them for because I'll run to my apartment and sell him 20 copies right now. Teen Titans #2 - $300, Batman Harley Quinn - $450, Preacher - $500. All raw copies...
Yes this is a problem lately at bigger shows. I don't understand the mentality. Its one thing to ask a slightly higher, but its like some dealers just don't want a sell in general they way they price at 2x going rate or such.
I saw a NM 87 in NM- raw maybe 2 weeks ago dealer had 280 dollars on it. I didn't even bother to haggle.
-
I agree, stay away from cons. There are never any good deals at them. Just stay away. Particularly stay away from the cheap stuff at cons in NYC (or anywhere, because that stock will probably eventually get to NYC). Only focus on the wall books.
Someone complained about asking for ebay prices...I don't find that unreasonable, particularly if their pricing mirrors sales prices and you are saving $4 on shipping! I don't really expect someone to set up a table, spend $2K and have boxes of stuff priced in a way that I can buy stuff willy nilly and make a good flip on ebay. You have to hunt for that stuff!
Man you guys talking about dealers having wall books around ebay prices. Sheesh last 2 years WW con here in town the dealers are charging double ebay prices.

Negan and Alpha sitting in a tree.....

Dont remind me i had 20 of these and sold them for 10 each
its always better to pull out too early instead of too late.
There is an inappropriate joke here......

No way. Maybe Negan is going to do Rick a favor and kill Alpha for her or take over and make her pipe down on the killing of his group. Then Rick will owe Negan and thus be lured into the trap of semi trusting him. Then Negan kills Rick later on.
That's my wish.
