Donatello, DEAD. Megatron, AUTOBOT. Sleepwalker, POPULAR Valiant Comics, Not Fodder. World is coming to an end.

Well they did this with Bloodshoot too. Eternal Warrior #4, Rai #0, and Eternal Warrior #5. I'm not seeing $25 anywhere on eBay. Selling for $4-$6. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&ghostText=&_sacat=0&_sop=13&_nkw=archer+armstrong+8&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc If you purposely mis-spell Valiant, you get.... VALIENT

We all love the 90's. At least I do. Have 2 90's cars, with 90's CD's and CD Changers. OG. Are we also in agreement that Darques face is not seen until Eternal Warrior #6? Cause they are cheap right now. Shadowman 7, 1st appearance of voice. Shadowman 8, 1st appearance of Torso. Eternal warrior #6, THE FACE!!!!! Anyone want a 10 pack? Get Yer 10 Pack!

Magnus 5 BIN sold out, and new BIN have a $20 jump in price. Well, if Sleepwalker #1 will get $30.00, I guess it isn't that crazy to see this happening.

I can't speak to the intent of the other post, but, while a key book, the print run on Rai #0 was large (well over 100K) for a non-big 2 book, as the heavy Valiant speculation was underway when the book was published. There are plenty of copies out there, although many may not be readily available. That is because someone pointed out a Glossy/Not as Glossy variation in the print run. Everyone is scrambling to see if they get an early glossy to try and cut down on the print run number being so big. The only issues I see, is that many of these books will be banged up from the Valiant crash dollar box syndrome that plagued many of these Valiant books. Original numbers were high, how many are left intact? I have 0 slabs, and I am scared to admit my first may be a Harbinger #1 or a Solar #3.

Almost trumped me on my Solar #3 and Harbinger #1 find for $11.00. (thumbs u

Nabbed a Rai #0 for myself off of the bay after someone outbid me by 0.06! I hit a clean looking BIN for less so jokes on him. It seems to be a popular book in the last few weeks. Rai 0 Sales in 1 week I couldn't believe it. Whenever I walk in the store I am always asked "What do you Know?!?!?!?" by the manager. But, because I am a nice guy, I hand them the lower grade copies after I pull the copies I wanted so they can reprice these books I don't take. This relationship got me the hook up and was allowed into "the warehouse" using ladders to pull boxes and run through. Going back tomorrow.

Just scored a Harbinger #1 with coupon for $5.00, and Solar #3 for $6.00! They are pricing Shadowman #7 (Cameo Darque) and #10 (Darque's Sister, whom was explained is kinda a big deal in the new Valiant Universe and likely a sleeper key right now) for me when I get my new stuff tomorrow. Someone nabbed Eternal Warrior #4, and Solar #10 1st print, a 2nd was left but a crease on the spine on that black cover just looks bad.

So unable to tell you a definite yes on any of these books, but I will say might as well keep track of them. I pulled the Armorines 1st appearances. Armorines cameos involve 19, 23 and 24, with 25 being 1st full appearance. Here is to hoping the Shadowman #19 with Aerosmith gets some love.

I had a decent day of unboxing, and a trip to the lcs. BWS Signed A&A, Chen Signed Rai &FF, and some 1st appearances

1:100 if a store orders 100 copies, you have to also account for the small shops that ordered 99 or less.

my LCS allowed me in their warehouse. I was only able to nab a Shadowman #8, X-factor 19, 23, 24, and a missing Daredevil MWF issue. All the Valiant we're cleared out already on their warehouse shelves and normal stock. Safe to say this board has serious readership when it comes to speculation.

Rupps covers look SWEET! Just waiting on PRINCESS LEIA #1 Campbell Cover to complete the 3 connecting ones.

There is a mini comic that was distributed exclusively by Wal Mart in a DVD that came out before Iron Man / Hulk / Fury. Hmm. I'll have to find that if it is marvel 616. Ultimate Fallout #4 Only the 1:25 RI variant, the other prints are still readily available and cheap. Speculation that there will be something future for Miles, but marvel is likely to axe him. I went for an Avengers 316 though myself, but the Ultimate SM stuff is being hyped.

All these Ultimate Spider Man fans are gonna be sooooooo mad when Miles bites it during Secret Wars and Marvel just lets him be forgotten like the rest of the Ultimate Universe. Speculation by me of course. I bought two last night just in case . Im also on board with Battle Scars #1 and Batman/Superman #8. What's the deal with Battle Scars #1 and B/S#8? I thought the whole Colson thing was dismissed and pushed onto a give-away from a Walmart special... The Lexus book?? or the Movie tie in comic for Iron Man and Hulk would be his first print appearances, but neither are 616. Battle Scars #6 Is hyped way more because they use his actual name, not his nick-name of "Cheese", and where Marcus Johnson becomes Nick Fury Jr. IMO #1 is the first true appearance in the 616 of Coulson a.k.a. Son Of Coul a.k.a. Cheese.

I'm guessing these are pricey. Were they a 1:10? The Inhuman cover I believe was 1:50 and ...... Humberto Ramos had the 1:50 Cover. J. Scott had the 1:75 cover, and Milo Manara had the 1:100. The Campbell variant seems to be more popular.

"Planet Venom" Just wrapped up a story arc in Guardians of the Galaxy. Little visit to the Symbiote's homeworld. If Secret War does not negate this story, it should be a HOT one. So there it is. Origin of the "Venom" organism is revealed in GOTG #24 out today. Started story arc at 21. 21 Has a 1:10 Variant Rocket Raccoon and Groot cover. 22 has no variant, just regular cover. 23 has the "Welcome Home" variant, but the Guardians steal a little bit of the show with this 1:20 variant cover.

Wow. Never knew this existed. Love it. It's a departure from his usual exagerated female form. Here is another good one.

Surprised nobody has posted Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 #4 1:50 Variant. J. Scott Campbell does an awesome Gamora too.
