Infinity +1 Capital City number = 139,800 Capital City Marvel 1992 % = 19.9% Print run for Infinity War #1 was about 700,000 copies. Sooooo... Infinity -1? About a million less than Turok #1

I added on a NM copy to a Mile High order a few months ago for $1.50

Still did well, though, assuming that was your copy on eBay. Not mine. Although, I should be receiving a replacement copy by this Friday. Ah, I thought it might have been this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Star-Wars-4-Boba-Fett-Action-Figure-Variant-Christopher-NOT-MINT-Please-Read-/151669736557?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item235038846d&nma=true&si=XsalhEQxaF7l%252FP%252FcRxYTbsRLKcg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Is that what yours looked like?

I don't think you know anything about me. And if you don't think sites like Jezebel will have an article posted crying about the state of females in comics the second the current Thor book gets scrapped, I have some cloud insurance to sell you. Most of the time what motivates these people is nothing more than attention. I don't have to know anything about you personally to see that what you write doesn't correspond to reality. It's clear that you haven't taken the time to actually try to understand the perspective of those that are vocal about the representation of women (across all media, not just comics). I don't see people interested in personal attention, but rather interested in calling attention to the fact that the status quo is pretty F'ed up and doesn't treat people equally.You're going to have some irrational people in any crowd, so if you go looking for them, I imagine you'll be able to find some people trying to connect reverting to the original Thor to the issue of the representation of women when that eventually happens. But then, I don't think anyone expect that that wasn't the plan all along. It has a tenuous connection to the larger issue of the representation of women in comics. You may see some comments of people disappointed with the change because they liked the female Thor character and storyline, but that's not the same thing.

Still did well, though, assuming that was your copy on eBay.

Yup. Making all copies of Thor: God of Thunder #25, Avengers #30 & Thor #1 worthless. I will buy every first print copy of Thor 1 you have for cover price It definitely sucks for all who loaded up on those books, At least for the moment. I think the value will depend on what they do with the series. If everything reboots as is stated in this article http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/05/11/g-willow-wilson-supposed-to-say-jumping-on-point-not-reboot-for-marvel/ ...and we go back to male Thor, I think it will probably do what Superior Spider-man did when Peter came back. If she sticks around, all bets are off. I don't get why Marvel keeps doing the reboots. At some point, you think their base would pick up on it. I don't think a reboot or renumbering or relaunch is going to necessarily lead to the re-introduction of a male Thor. Why spend months teasing the female Thor's identity, reveal it, and then a few issues later cast her aside? Especially when the book is doing alright in sales? Plus the pc police are going to be all over Marvel if they dump one of their female leads that quickly. I really don't think you have any idea what motivates the people that you disagree with.

I can only speak for my own comments, but when I tossed out my suggestions I was thinking of this more as a general thread. The books I proposed I consider Copper.

Sure, but the End of Bronze/Start of Copper will certainly be within this period of incredible change in the industry: May 1979: Daredevil 158- First Miller art Aug 1979 - Tomb of Dracula cancelled, effectively ending the Marvel BA of Horror Nov 1979: Iron Man #128 "Demon in a Bottle" Feb 1980: She-Hulk #1 Mar 1980: King Conan 1 Apr 1980: Star Trek 1 Spring 1980: Epic Illustrated 1 Aug 1980 - Tomb of Dracula Magazine cancelled Sep 1980: X-Men 137- Death of Dark Phoenix Oct 1980: DC Presents 26- first New Teen Titans Nov 1980: New Teen Titans 1 Nov 1980: Moon Knight gets his own series 1980 : Superboy Spectacular- Direct Sales only 1-shot Jan 1981: Daredevil 168- First Miller -script; Intro Elektra Jan 1981: X-Men 141- Days of Future Past launches alternate time line that would form the basis for lots of uber-fandom-based X-continuity over the next several years Jan 1981: Capital Comics launches and publishes Nexus 1 Mar 1981: X-Men 143- Final Claremont/Byrne Mar 1981: Dazzler 1- First direct-sales-only for an ongoing series Mar 1981: Bizarre Adventures starts Mar 1981: Captain Canuck is cancelled May 1981: Eclipse Magazine starts June 1981: The Hulk magazine ends Jul 1981: Fantastic Four 232 - Byrne takes over FF writing/art duties. Aug 1981: Rogue debuts Aug 1981: Marvel Premiere ends Nov 1981: Captain Victory 1- First Pacific Comics issue, direct-only publisher 1981: Marvel cancels many of its reprint titles, including MGC, AA, TTA, MSA, etc. 1981: Stan Lee moves to California to head Marvel TV/movie properties, leaving Jim Shooter in charge 1981: Jenette Kahn promoted to President of DC Comics, leading the way for Vertigo and GN explosion. Feb 1982: Starslayer #1 (first Rocketeer) Mar 1982: Warrior Magazine #1 /Alan Moore (Marvelman, V for Vendetta) Mar 1982: Marvel Fanfare #1 - New Format Apr 1982: Marvel introduces Graphic Novel series, including Death of Captain Marvel and X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills May 1982: Saga of the Swamp Thing #1 May 1982: First Groo the Wanderer June 1982: G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #1 June 1982: Marvel Super-Hero Contest of Champions #1 (first Marvel mini-series, precursor to Secret Wars) Sept 1982: Love and Rockets debuts Sept 1982: Wolverine Mini #1 1982: Harvey Comics, Warren Publishing and Spire Comics cease operations 1982: DC cancels remaining Horror titles 1982: Start of creator royalties at Marvel and DC 1982: Steve Geppi founds Diamond I'd add Cerebus in '77, Elfquest '78 and Raw '80 If we're looking back prior to 1979, then I think one major event that needs to be added, which is probably a bit of a catalyst for some of the other items on the list, is the DC Implosion in mid-1978. That seems like a really good starting point as it resulted in the departure of some people from DC that were responsible for some of the items on the list from Marvel.

I'm sorry, but what exactly was the significance of this book supposed to be again that is causing it to "heat up"? -J. 4th printing of the first appearance of Boba Fett. So chasing "first appearances" of movie characters in comic books that are adaptations from other media really is a thing now? Speculators must be looking for pretty much anything to buy now. Guess if it worked for Harley Quinn/ BA 12, why not this. -J. He-Man, Transformers, and GI Joe spring to mind, but I am not sure what came first, the show or the comic. All three appeared in the comics before the TV shows. All three were toy properties first and foremost which were licensed to appear in comics as a means to sell toys. They are by no means original comic book properties or creations. (Much like Harley, Boba, etc). (thumbs u -J. They may have been toys first, but the bulk of the names and backstory about them were created by the comics people. http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2006/10/12/comic-book-urban-legends-revealed-72/ http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2006/01/05/comic-book-urban-legends-revealed-32/

The Spread reprint was the first I was aware of, so I thought that was innovative when it was released. (Was it the first of these?) I can see this getting out of hand quickly though.

I'm kicking myself for waiting on buying one. I nearly grabbed a 1:40 for about $25 shipped a couple of weeks ago.

You mean the same cover as the first trade, I think.

I would love to see them do a Jar Jar cover, if only to see the disdain on the face of completist as they bite the bullet and grab the book.

I don't understand that. There's not anything particularly noteworthy about the book in regards to the things that generally drive up values. I think maybe there's just going to be a short period between the time that the movie news was announced and when the books are released that were ordered after that news start appearing, where books have a dip in their print runs and speculators start grabbing stuff hoping that it will be a hot book.

Does ANYONE count the first (non original) apps of the New Valiant as keys? Like to I care about first Ninjak or Archer and Armstrong? Is it essentially like the first Batman in New 52? Are you asking us what you should care about? Buy what you like.

It's an auction for charity, but the Valiant FCBD variant is doing well here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/351392778548?_trksid=p2060353.m1431.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

That last one is actually a pretty good deal for the buyer.

Thanos actually said "Drat"?

It's because you touch yourself at night.

Midtown Times Square had the Batman combo packs this morning, limit 1

They're like cicadas

Also it says that it is being sent by Media Mail…I thought he was sending it Flat Rate. Mine said Media Mail also, which means my post office will open it and inspect it and charge me more or send it back. I only ordered 2, so the $8.25 shipping cost would have covered Priority with no problem. I sent them a note, not sure if it will change anything though. As I figured would happen, my post office opened and inspected the books and now they are charging me additional money for Priority because comics are not media mail. I emailed them 2 times but I don't expect to hear from them. I doubt I will be purchasing from them again. Did you pay with Paypal? If so, does your receipt say flat rate shipping? Maybe you can resolve the extra charges through them.

I know one guy who has a stack going to CGC. Mostly I think they're going to be staying in the hands of readers. I have an extra B cover, and some extras of the reprints, but only one A cover. And I waited too long to pick up the incentives.

I had the chance to look through my stack and I'd say at least half are decent 9.8 candidates

I ordered 10 when there were about 600 copies left. Last name starts with J. Got notification on Friday and they were waiting for me when I got home today.
