  1. Valiant is calling those "throwback" covers. I haven't updated the website in a long time, but there are 4 listed here: http://valiantfan.com/quickview/show/throw Greg -- do you have a similar quick guide to the throwback covers that Acclaim did that one month? The one that comes to mind immediately is the Bloodshot. Vol. 2 issue that was an homage to Nick Fury # 1. I didn't know about these....sounds very cool!
  2. .....are people really expecting something from Master Darque?? Did I miss something here?? Harada and Master Darque have a huge impact to Valiant. I had that book on my watch list. I was going to come in and snipe it. I was too! Honestly I think that price was a good deal. Only going to go up! One of if not the main villain in the Valiant universe.
  3. There's an amazing difference in the availability of pre-Unity (like Magnus #5, Harbinger #1, Solar #10) and immediate post-Unity (particularly Harbinger #10, Rai #0, Shadowman #8). It wasn't overnight... but in a window of maybe six months in 1992, the print runs tripled. Then the 1993 books like Archer & Armstrong #8 and Bloodshot #6 just about tripled the print runs again. I might need to make a chart. Anyone have any data like this with other non keys or semi-keys? I would like to see some books added, like Rai 1-5 and see how these stack up to printing.
  4. I love this discussion point For me it is too hard to say just one X-O Manowar Bloodshot Shadowman Rai too tough to pick for me.

  6. Does anyone have a checklist of any valiant books from the best few years that has a retro style variant cover? I have a seen a few but would like to collect them all. Love the original valiants, best comics from growing up.
  7. So which books had coupons? I can't seem to find a checklist. I don't want to have to handle all line to verify which ones had them or not would help. Thanks!
  8. Quake - daisy Johnson. The show really evolves around her and this season her books will continue to spike. Maybe if people weren't so cryptic with their posts on this forum... Drea de Matteo do people care about these limited tv appearances though? Who said it was a limited appearance? I have a hard time thinking they would sign an actor like this for one or two shows. Let me rephrase, how many characters appearing in the shield tv show have seen an uptick in demand for their first appearance in comics? This is a genuine question. That does limit the amount some. Mockingbird Phil Coulson Graviton Those 3 come to mind. Of the 3 really Mockingbird is the only one that has really taken off of the top of my head.
  9. Transformers #113 (UK) should be added if we are talking oversized comics which most early UK ones were. Very hard to find at all and very hard to find in high grade as they were razor thin - maybe 10 pages.
  10. Has anyone heard if Annihilus will be in the Fantastic four movie. I know it is confirmed the negative zone will play a major part in that move.
  11. I just love this comic market! It is so fun to find these books in the wild!
  12. Because of the return of the grey Hulk? I don't get it... +1 Unless there is something in the book I am missing like a 1st Appearance or something this is really Not anything to chase... Jeez just grab a modern reprint of hulk #1 Synopsis for "The More Things Change"Edit SHIELD has made a new genetic bath to cure Bruce Banner by making him control the Hulk. But something goes wrong, when Rick Jones notices that General Ross is fooling with the tank. At the same time Hulk is thrown in the bath. Rick and Ross fight, but the battle ends with Rick thrown into the bath too. Suddenly the tank breaks, and the new Hulk is born. He is Gray again after all these years. REALLY ! That's it and this is a chase book? someone tell me its more than Hulk being grey again ! Isn't the Grey Hulk from #1 actually a retcon which took place after #324 though? . I dont know how Hulk #1 can possibly be a retcon? He was grey in the '62 #1 issue because of a printing ink problem. In #2 he is green, he was never intended to be grey. #324 is the first true grey hulk. +1
  13. I have been looking for a high grade slab of 144 and haven't found one in over 6 months. I just don't like buying raws but did today thank goodness before this news hit.
  14. an annual 6 for $117? I sure don't remember that sale? That seems pretty low for December. I would have paid 3 times that in December for that book
  15. I don't want to open my copies, sealed in bag/board. I am a about to run back even though it will take an hour to get there, really regretting not getting the 9.2/9.4/9.6 copies. I just pray she didn't destroy them
  16. not typically a quick flipper but very tempted as I thought about grading or doing SS on these. (Star wars 1 hot topic variant)
  17. Well regarding the star wars 1 hot topic varint. I tried to locate today at any Central florida hot topics, luckly I found a very nice manager at one and I sweet talked her into letting me get a few. She had about 15, said she just got in yesterday (they were still in the back) but was told they can't be put out. After I hung out with my crying children, she came back over and said what the heck, buy as many as you want. She brought them out of the back. I feel like I should have bought all 15 since they were part of their BOGO sale but I just picked the solid 9.8's out of the group as all seemed to not have been handled very well to this point. Looks like they all had bad corners and spine ticks besides the few I bought. Will be interesting to see how this plays out as some hot topic employees don't take their job too seriously
  18. Copper newsstands Keys especially I am always looking for in high grade
