I held the copy I got an would not sell it. I have seen at least one sell though (not mine.) Great to meet you Tim, thanks for being such a nice guy!

The Blindbox variant sold out early Thursday. I was literally at the table while someone asked for the last one behind the enormous stacks of Enormous books. That was me most likely. I got the last one and asked for the other one, but they were out.

Very true. I am one of those speculators who got back into the mix thanks to these websites. Heyyyyyy, I resemble those remarks. I got back into the hobby in Aug 2013. I thought variants were very cool and bought a lot of them. Now, I still speculate on moderns but I know enough to have Silver, Bronze and a little Copper in my collection and to not buy so many variants. It's all a learning experience. Unfortunately, the "old guard" are pretty uppity when it comes to speculation. Regardless of what people think about how others should spend THEIR OWN money, the hobby is just fine. In fact, some of the new collectors/speculators are the ones buying their Gold, Silver, Bronze and Copper so that they can buy that same book in a higher grade (speculation). It's still called speculation. Even "readers" aren't buying books to fold up and put it in their back pocket. Books are read very carefully so as not to cause any, or more, damage, speculating that the book will not decrease in "value". Speculation, Holmes. Again you weren't here for the last go around with large scale speculation from card dealers. So please don't tell me you understand the market when you just above admitted to being a victim when you started. I got nothing personal against speculation. We all do it some extent. Even your ridiculous paragraph about doesn't really bother me. Where I have issues is just the outright lying and manipulation that comes with large scale speculation. Or when speculator web site pump a book that they themselves have bought dozens of copies. You cant be unbiased when you are vested in the success of the book you are reporting on. I seriously doubt you know what readers do with their books or even what they read. I do not think all spec sites are trying to market manipulate or doing it to sell their own books. I know there are a couple that do, but several that don't.

Transmetropolitan had it's moment of emotion. At it's heart it was a fun ride but there were a few moments that pulled at the heart strings. If you want to read a love story to a city read Charles Soules Graphic Novel Strange Attractors. I can never say enough about how good this book is.

A lot of retailers brought this up at the Diamond Summit at Baltimore Comic Con

Yep. The end is close near. fixed that for ya! What’s the difference between "close" and "near"? I believed they had more or less the same meaning. when talking about distance, they are the same thing. outside of that, they go all over the place. someone just likes making post counts go up. Actually no, with apologies to Valliant who is truly asking for clarity, as he's Italian and it's a good question regarding the use of one word over the other. It actually relates to cartoons of days past, where the typical portrayal of the doomsayer was the old guy with the long beard walking around with a sign on a post predicting the apocalypse, with the sign saying, "The End is Nigh! (or Near!)" I'm really surprised that deathtohemingway couldn't grasp it. . . . Thanks, but otherwise they would have the same meaning? I ask because in italian they both translate as "vicino", but I realize that "close" might mean "closer" than "near"? It’s interesting when I find more english words addressing similar meanings, as italian is a very precise language with words, while english is a lot elastic (for example, "glass" which means a lot of things, and in italian we have single words for each one of them). In general, one uses "near" when referring to time, and "close" when referring to position. I should have guessed that. Like "house" and "home", while we have the same word for both. That is very interesting, as in these, meaning-wise italian is less precise than english. Wouldn't near also relate to spacial relationship? As in the house is near the lake. The restaurant is near the bay.

According to Diamond it has the release date of Cover B as "TBD". Come on Diamond, stop messing with Enormous.

Here he is. Does anyone else think the Star Destroyer Commander looks like Steve Carell on the card art? Also, and something that has always bugged me, why the big helmet when you work inside a space station? Do you expect things to fall on your head?

Wow, that right there is something. That hurts to look at!

Oxymoron is tough to find in the wild too? Guess I hit two for two yesterday! I'm thrilled with Young Terrorist day one sales in the shop. For a $6.99 book from an obscure publisher, it dominated my Indy sales yesterday by net price & volume. Impressive debut. Online sales indicate this might be the first "hot" book after the summer doldrums. It's interesting that Image stopped shop variants, & smaller companies have filled the void nicely. Without shop variants, nothing from Image has really "popped" lately. The thing that bugged me about Image dropping shop variants is they are still doing it for the TPB's. It is if they took a stance and then immediately, and in the same press release, contradicted themselves. But what it comes down to is you can only do shop variants with Image if it directly benefits them and not the creators or the book itself (or the shops even).

It is a Richard Corben cover, and I love Corben's work. I came across four in one shop in the wild. The owner asked why I was buying so many copies of the book, I said I love Corben's work (true) and that was good enough for him. Had he checked eBay I doubt he would have let them walk for cover price. Almost makes you wonder why Rich never did more mainstream stuff.. Im a huge corben fan and fail to see why the big two would not think of hiring him to do more covers for them, imagine all these keys we wouldve had today if he did that hehe Didn't he do some Hulk stuff a while ago?

i have sold copies for as high as $60, my last copy sold for $42.50. Still, paid $3 each for them and was not sad with the outcome. I never fret about money left on the table as it is better than missing the boat.

One closed for $70 recently. There were copies that sold for $61 not too long ago. There is a fan base there as well as a print run of +/- 2,000 copies for issues 5-7. I found a issue 6 marked as $4. The shop said "just take it no one cares for that ."

Great set of books. I have a set myself The first issue has been selling really well for a while. I am a huge horror fan and am glad I have been picking this up monthly.

One of my LCS owners told me the comic was being delayed until next week, along with some others including Fade Out. I was definitely interested in getting this one in it being Divinity's next appearance after the mini, and was one of the first in the door to try and get one. I have also noticed that (last I checked, at least) it is not in stock on Midtown or MCS websites even for pre-order. Midtown, Tfaw, Mycomicshop all sold out early

I have also noticed that (last I checked, at least) it is not in stock on Midtown or MCS websites even for pre-order. 9 Stores in Central Florida got 0 copies, I bet it was Allocated, and has already shown a 2nd print offered by one place I called trying to track it down today. Called in a favor at one of my back up ordering spots, have 2 copies of cover A and 1 cover B on the way. Cannot find a 1:20 and one sold for cheap on eBay today that I missed while at work. Serious heat on this one really fast, bet the print run was low like Divinity #1. I doubt they would allocate like that. I would imagine that some of the Diamond warehouses got it in and shipped it out and others didn't and it will be in next week. Just hold your horses before you declare it hot. It will cool when it fully ships. http://comicsheatingup.net/2015/08/07/answer-to-what-happened-to-imperium-7/

But that doesn't mean they will hit the streets. Some of the copies could have been promised to a vendor for grading. They could be held back for conventions. They could be set up for anything.

I have puled 12 from different 5 Below stores Also 6 2nd prints.

I had found three in one shop and sold two several months back. Kind of regret doing it now.

I love those 9.8 Comicsheatingup.net panel covers. It was a great cover. I have seen very few of these up for sale.

Why? A movie? Man, I hope so. Great book that didn't last long enough. Patrick TV show http://comicsheatingup.net/2015/07/01/jeff-smiths-rasl-optioned-for-tv/

Not a scam. I have gotten a ton of books from them. Eddie is a good guy and they did sell the heck out of the Amazing Spider-Man Renew your Vows variant at the beginning of the month. I have only had one issue and it was taken care of right away by Eddie.

This has long been one of my favorite Marvel covers for years. Glad I picked it up when it came out. It's the booty, right? Gotta be the booty. Not going to lie, you are probably right.
