    Most have been confirmed, maybe not publicly from Marvel, for MCU roles.

     

    Has anyone read Canto? It's a great story with an important lesson, but it's definitely aimed at children.

    Yeah, I enjoyed the series. I could easily see it being a Pixar film if they were so inclined. Just wished the first series would have arrived without defects. At my local shops it was almost impossible to find  raw copies of #1 & #2 without spine tics.

  2. i had some comic supplies shipped from MO that was supposed to be delivered within 2 days(on a Thursday) to me in NC. My informed delivery email came from the USPS on that Thursday saying the package was out for delivery. When my postman came with the mail he didn't have the package. Confused, I went back to the USPS website to check the tracking number and it showed the packaged had been delivered.....to San Juan, Puerto Rico. It stayed there a week before it shipped to me the following Monday. It seems that delays and misdirected mail are the norm for now.

    Key word “may” so we do not know how many copies are out there though we do know it’s below 5000.
     

    Maybe well below 5000

    see what I just did there...key word maybe

    If demand is high and affordable copies are all bought up that leaves an inflated price.

    I don’t really know what my post is about just as I don’t know what yours is about.

    I think maybe to discredit the printings being rare...I did it again 

    maybe/may means nothing

    there harder to find right now and that’s all we really know

     No mystery nor discredit. The later printings are harder to find for the average collector because of the low solicitation. That refers to collectors who solely depend on Retailers to put them on the shelves for distribution. If the number of copies doesn't satisfy the demand then collectors go to online retailers for those later printings. That's the explanation plain and simple. If retailers all of sudden begin to up their orders for later printings then the supply will eventually meet the perceived demand. Currently, those later printing issues that are under-ordered are seeing demand-shift price increases.

  4. Most shop owners I know won't order later printings unless subscribers pre-order them or if their first printings completely sell out. Their rationale is why order the later printing when I still have first printings sitting on the shelf. Low solicitation doesn't make them rare in and of itself because the Distributors may still have them in quantity. It just means they are not out for distribution in most LCS. That's how all those ANMPO  #1 2nd prints ended up at a place like Five Below and some second and third printings Marvel & DC comics end up in packs at Walmart. I'm not sure how long it will take for Retailers to figure out there is some demand for the later printings.

    thats his son del frye

    Yeah, Dr. Frye,though alive, is still dismembered and buried under the mountain where Hulk placed him. His son Del has the same appearance and same poisonous radiation emanating from his person since they both were injected with the gamma radiation serum Dr. Frye concocted.

    There appears to be no shortage of this book. And I have yet to see any premium even for early appearance of Virus. I suppose time will tell.

     

    True.  I went to about 5 stores between yesterday and today. There was a nice close to two inch stack of this comic at each store. I still grab one each time.lol  As far as the story and art goes it still is a nice grab.

    It's for issue #2 it's an FOC cover, for some reason she didn't have a cover for #2 even though #1 #3 and #4 so they released this FOC variant last week for order. Placed mine with my LCS. She actually has a bunch like the Vampirella and that new Die!Namite series or whatever its called.

    I don't collect Vampirella but I will add the Horizon Zero Dawn covers to my pull list. I did manage to pick up all the Momoko Crow Lethe covers for that three issue mini-series.

    So what's heating up?  :D

    Side note, I just flipped through that Dark Metal 1 and if that goofy Robin King character becomes hot i will have lost all hope in the modern market.  

    Looks like Legends of the Dark Knights #1 is on the same path as Hell Arisen #4 where shops under-ordered it, only a few people subbed for it but the day it comes out everyone will want a copy. I learned my lesson though. Even if I hate it, at least I subbed for a copy to avoid the Ebay mark up.
