  1. With Stephen King's blessing, an American Vampire show won't surprise me. Sooner than Later.
  2. It may not be $700, but certain not bad for a book that can be bought for cover in back issue bins: $46 for #1 & 2
  3. The Positive: I was a fan of his stuff years back and have most of his Nny And Squee and etc. The Negative: I'd be very surprised if that sold for $50.
  4. This episode was great. The only thing that could have made it any better was if Sarah slabbed the Boozey Taste out of Laurel's mouth.
  5. It actually has never bottomed out at that range. The only sales under $300 occurred during the infancy of CGC, and long before the demand for Harbinger shot the price up to $2500. The past year or so the book has oscillated around $300-350, ending closer to $350. From what I understand, the books he lists are based on the # of bids, not the price. FWIW, the suckers were the ones that bought Harbinger #1 at the highs. There were plenty of HG copies to go around and it was only a matter of time for more to surface. Just like any BA/CA/Modern #1 or key, there will be more highest graded copies on the census over time and that will bring prices back to reality. Actually that particular post had to do with the number of watchers, not the price. I think you are a little strong with your characterization of the supply of high grade Harbinger 1s. Given a book that sold from $2500 down to $350, there are still only about 100 9.8s on the census which has grown very very slowly for a 90's "big money" book. Compare to Batman Adventures 12. Certainly there was little support for a 2500 price given even a slowly growing census count, but it still is a legitimately tough book to grade out at 9.8. It is tougher than other books from that period, but at an estimated 48,000 print run there are plenty of potential 9.8s out there in long boxes and store stock that have not come out to play yet. The question is how many people are willing to pay the $250-$350 for it if the current series fails and there are no movie/tv prospects to inflate prices? When I look at the number of so-so Image books being optioned, I keep wondering if Valiant will ever get something on the big or small screen. Harbinger 1 doesn't have a TON of downside in CGC 9.8 in that price range. It's a relatively tough 9.8, has a very low print run for its era, is a classic book that a lot of people have some nostalgia for, and the characters are back in print for now. Even if the current series died, it's already renewed some interest in the book. Certainly. You don't need to be a Valiant collector to want a H1 9.8 in your collection. It is a legit modern era key book. I would put it in the top 10, and I can't see it out of the top 20 in any serious list. I think the Valiant book that should be on people's top 10 modern lists is VH1 X-O Manowar 1. The title outsold Harbinger back in the day (X-O Manowar was published for over a year after the original Harbinger title folded), it was one of the few titles revived by Acclaim (Harbinger did not make the cut), and is the top selling Valiant title for VEI. Harbinger is a wannabe X-Men and will always be compared to that title. X-O Manowar is a unique character and is Valiant's flagship character and title. IMHO, of course. It's pathetic that VH1 X-O Manowar 1 in 9.8 CGC sells for $75 - $100. There are VEI X-O Manowar variants that sell for more and that's just wrong. As for moderns that are heating up, did anyone else notice the inexpensive (under $15) copies of House of Mystery Halloween Annual 1s disappeared on E-Bay this weekend after the iZombie news? That book has less than 12,000 copies. Not a huge print run. If Harbinger is a Wannabe X-Men, couldn't you say X-O Is a wannabe Iron Man?
  6. So what are the "Money" issues of Spawn these days? Looks like 150 does well. And focus on regular ones I may find in bins. Not some crazy retailer incentives.
  7. I wasn't expecting much from it, but it was pretty funny. I didn't expect much either. I watched in on a plane, because I had seen everything else. Ended up being one of my favourite comedies of the last little while. There were a few parts where I felt like a lunatic laughing so hard on a plane.
  8. Josh Holloway (a la Sawyer) IS Gambit. I think they even may have suggested it, but he didn't want to be typecast or something. :frustrated: Josh Holloway would be a cool gambit. I wish they would have casted Jim Caviezel as batman. ( check the show person of interest, you'll understand why) +1
  9. Did anyone else revel in Laurel getting served? Also, SUICIDE SQUAD.
  10. Pretty sure that's just Blood jumping him at the very end. The Question would have been an awesome surprise, though.
  11. I found the return episode to be kind of "Meh". Maybe it's because we came off such a high with the mid season finale. I'm glad that Barry is still in the story, even if it's all off camera at the moment. Disappointed they haven't offed Laurel yet. But at least Oliver's attentions seem to be on Felicity now, and not Laurel. Hope Canary comes back soon, and am looking forward to seeing Deathstroke beat the brakes off of Arrow.
  12. It is of course "wrong", but I guess because the internet is not protected they don't want to get in trouble? Who knows. There's gonna have to be a lot of censoring in the later issues, issues 9, 14 and 15. . #9 should be interesting.
  13. Marked Shipped/Safe today. 1 Month and 4 days after recieving my Submission. Not bad for Modern Slowtrack!
  14. 3rd Issue just hit the stands. Must be picking up new readers from word of mouth? It's been fantastic so far
  15. The new Ms. Marvel is getting some juice from interesting places. VICE magazine? VICE
  16. I picked up the Colour and Sketch version of the Campbell cover. The shop owner kept the Manara cover for himself, which is the first time I've ever heard of him doing it. He showed me what it looked like though, and it's quite nice.
  17. Mine were still in verified status yesterday, and today they're Graded. I don't know how meticulous they were with updating statuses in their system.
  18. In 2009, Amanda Waller was ranked as IGN's 60th Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time. I actually picked up 2 this weekend for $1.50. I got a VF/NM for $1.10 Will continue to grab nice copies whenever I see them.
  19. Sold another Black Science #2, Cover B, for $9. It's come down from where it was a week or two ago, but still bringing in more than a 250% return. Now I just have Cover A's left.
  20. This was probably mentioned, but how about Legends #1? First appearance of Amanda Waller. Easily found in Dollar Bins. She puts a lot of work in, in the DC Universe.
  21. Did the market suddenly decide they prefer that to #18?
  22. Modern Slowtrack Books Received December 9. Still in Verified.
