Negan is more Ric Flair than Joker IMO

Negan (Saviors) and the Whisperers may have crossed paths before... Negan is Lydia's dad!! I think Negan will be captured by the Whisperers, but will find a way to murder Alpha. This will make him the leader of the Whisperers by default!

I can't wait until this Wednesday! What is Negan going to do next? I will probably read the digital copy during my lunch break Wednesday at work and pick up the real thing from an LCS on my way home. I'd love to hear some predictions if anyone would care to share.

This pretty much is what happened with that. Thank you, Sir.

I figured this was the case. Weren't some of the Lucilles given yellow labels though? Weren't all of them signed by Kirkman initially?

Love the book, but that auction ended much cheaper than I would have guessed. Pretty sure that's because of the case it's in. I imagine it would have ended higher if it was in a CGC one. That and probably the fact it's not a "witnessed" signature that kept some bidders at bay. I wonder if CGC would authenticate the signature if a witness presented it to Kirkman and he acknowledged it was his own

I'll be curious to see the hammer price on this. I picked a VFish raw copy of the signed Lucille variant the other week at a local show, hence my previous question about the print run. From what I've gathered there are at least 500 of these, but who really knows? As far as the comic goes I'm thinking Negan still has plenty of growth potential. The show is a crapshoot. But do I think there a possibility WD #100 becomes the most important debut of a villain in comics since BA#12? Absolutely.

Quick question, gang. Does anybody know an estimate of the print run for the Lucille variant of #100? I know the red foil is estimated at 250, but this is for the non-foil version.

Who's Shawn?

I guess I'll have to go back and look but I'm not sure the whisperer at the end of 132 is ever identified as Alpha in 133.

I just noticed while surfing EBay today that CGC is listing #132 as the 1st Alpha in cameo on their holder. I believe 2015 OPG credits #138 as the first Alpha. Does anyone have any insight one way or the other here?

Definitely not a feel good ending. I wonder if the timing of the events of the show were meant to correlate with the events of the comic or if that's just the way things happened to work out? Negan certainly seems to be getting a push.

Yep

Yowza!

True, there are 66 CGC Universal in 9.8 alone, 367 in 9.4 or above. Those are big time numbers for a SA book. I'm pretty sure that was one of the Mile High II books. Over time, Chuck sold off 100s (it wouldn't surprise me if it was more than 1,000) high-grade copies of that book. So if you had to buy one. 132 or 133? 1st brief appearance or first cover & full?

Great seller! Very smooth and pleasant transaction.

Is there any way to improve the quality of scans on the HP 8200 or did I just flush $170 down the pisser?

Is there a 9.8 pedigree copy?

Everyone speculates alone? :shrug: no news is good news... now we can collect in peace. Eh, there's something to be said about enjoying seeing the trends in comics. Analyzing, predicting, and having fun with the hobby. One man's annoyance is another's amusement. It’s not about annoyance, it’s about rising prices… Ok, but that doesn't invalidate my reasons for enjoying this thread I'll throw a few out there. No sales to boast of. Strictly speculation for the New Year. I've got several of each so please take this with a grain of salt New Teen Titans #16......just cause Captain Carrot Captain Marvel #45 $.30 variant........first mention of the 6 soul gems which would later become the Infinity Gems (kudos to Revat for pointing this out originally several months ago) Marvel Team Up #55 1st Gardener Captain America #162.....1st time Peggy Carter is identified in a comic. 1st origin. 2nd full appearance 1st in continuity. New Gods #2......1st Darkseid cover; 1st Desaad

Just read it. Loved every panel! Best issue in a very long time.

I love that cover! Instant classic IMO. Can't wait to read it?
