Love Spawn! It's been a staple of my collection since the beginning, the various newsstand issues marking the times I've moved or an LCS closed. 

I really enjoyed Newshane's pursuit of the 9.8+ set and I remember his bounty on a HG #156 reaching 80+. That book is tough in HG. 

Here's my monster number... 528. I try for raw NM+ and only have 3 Spawn slabs (100 Ross, 150 Lee & 151 SS Medina/Perez)

My gift ships Monday 🎁

merry happy 

Cool post! I can track some major life events via the newsstand copies in my Spawn collection... college, cross country moves, and basically the short spells I went without a LCS.

Is Shadow Of Spawn an exclusive? I know it's just the same old Spawn figure repackaged with a new accessory, but I collect the Mortal Kombat line, and am pretty sure I've missed this one. 

No I don't think so bc this one I pre-ordered from Amazon. The munitions and accessory packs are McFarlane toys exclusives. 

A few new Spawn purchases... the munitions pack (#1), Shadow of Spawn 7" with chains, & pre-ordered the accessory pack (#2) from McFarlane toys. I like the Mortal Kombat Spawns ... but I have enough of them now I like the accessories more. 

Part of the accessory packs is working around the Warner Bros "no guns" policy for the 7" DC figures, so these packs have weapons 'intended' for Joker, Deadshot, Harley, Freeze etc.  Mcfarlane toys charges $10 shipping so $25 per pack ~1.50/piece.

With the 3 it comes down to thicker cover stock. In my experience the thicker cover stock really stands out on the 3 vs the 4 or even 2. Your cover also looks more matte which may mean thicker vs traditional glossy comic cover stock

Those are store exclusives, right? Some of them are fantastic.

I think the first two images are interiors 

Thanks for resurrecting this sweet Haunt thread... got me a little re-education and it gives me something to look for in my backissues. 

In UPC terms ... the 02462 is the product reference code. The number on the left is the manufacturing code. There's a whole cool history of the codes and just a little review reminds me it's time to make some flashcards and start memorizing some of it because it communicates great info at a glance. 

There's a video or two I've seen depicting the line at opening and I follow Peach on Fb... she really did internalize a lot of the pain felt by her fans. She owned it to a fault IMO. 

Space Usagi figure from NECA ... some images circulating...

I am in.

Thanks guys, we are fine.  I just backed the RV up to the house so, I could use the generator.  The entire 1/2 acre is completely covered with debris.  I guess I will be getting plenty of exercise.  

On the plus side that storm will knock all the humidity out of the air for a week. 

I lived in Baton Rouge 2002-2008 (notably Hurricanes Ivan, Katrina & Rita). We'd routinely lose power for up to a week at a time and to BTR is where NOLA ppl often evacuate. Lost power, local flooding, storm surge up intercoastal canals, road/bridge damage, waste removal, supply chain disruptions for months (food, gas, construction materials), queues, downed trees, powerlines ... ugh. 

Is it true Tampa area hasn't been directly hit since the early 1920s? 

If so that does not bode well. An ax in the attic was the old Louisiana adage after Hurricane Betsy. You keep an ax in your attic... knowledge mostly forgotten by 2005. 

I too would like a premium comic. 

May have been shared ... 

I personally would want the book complete with the tattoos, as originally issued.

I want my Bronze withe the marvel value stamps and my Modern with their digital downloads intact. 

My ten in no order, a tougher exercise than anticipated... incl first 2 set per OP

Always loved the horror themed ones…

This book sells well in Wisconsin not surprisingly... we do serial killers up Nort

With roughly a month before release, Sandman prices are rough. Basically 9.8 or bust and even the 9.8 prices are down. 
 

The last local show I shopped at I felt there was value still in Sandman. I saw nice raw back issues for cheap and some choice on graded material.
