Funny. I saw this on the shelf at Midtown and considered buying it. Looked up the character and apparently she appeared in Green Arrow first? How's that book doing?
That's a different Naomi, Naomi Singh appeared in the Green Arrow series. Naomi #1 is the first appearance of that Naomi character.

Right now it's market manipulation because some people don't pre-sell, therefor true supply and demand cannot be evaluated properly.
None of the shops in my area put OLH #5 on the shelves...at all. The copies most likely went to subscribers and the rest to Ebay. I just saw people get the head shake when they asked if they had any copies.

He appeared at the end of issue #4.
It's the last issue of the series as well.
Especially for books that haven't even been released yet. As I stated previously, FOMO is driving market prices. People think they can't get books because a pre-order sells out. Wait until the books are actually released and in hand to determine what the market price is. Right now it's market manipulation because some people don't pre-sell, therefor true supply and demand cannot be evaluated properly.
Collectors once again opting for the first full appearance issue along with the appearance on the cover . There are still plenty of copies of OLH #4 on store shelves in my area.

I reported OLH first a couple of months ago (Harley 42) that book is still relatively cheap considering it's a 1st app. Looks like it caught on if she has a series and books are selling out
i guess this is a new trend for the big 2.. take popular characters and create a new character out of them; batman who laughs, cosmic GR, weapon H, immortal hulk, gwenpool and now old Harley smh.... u could probably trace it down to spider-gwen as the founder of that silly movement.
Gotta find a name for this gimmic.....
Marvel has always used Deadpool as a way to poke fun at DC characters in his ongoing series. Once Harley Quinn took off as a major character DC started returning the jabs in her series. It had a character called the "Red Tool"- DC's version of Deadpool. Then they did the "Red Lion" in the Deathstroke: Rebirth series. Their version of Black Panther. The Old Lady Harley series is just a continuation of the tongue-in-cheek type humor between DC and Marvel. I doubt if DC would do anything serious or continuous with a character called Geriatric Joker. #5 is the last issue of the OLH mini-series.

What's the deal with Old Lady Harley 5? Why is this so hot? Anyone get a copy? I went to the LCS today and some guy was angrily complaining to the owner that they sold out.
First appearance of Geriatric Joker. Old Lady Harley is DC's answer to Marvel's Old Man Logan riff. Lame to me but it seemed to be under ordered which led to a quick sell out.

Not even talking about speculation. Talking about the Immortal Hulk story.
You're wrong. Banner/Hulk didn't become immortal hulk over night (no pun intended). Banner went through several deaths and resurrections to come to that revelation. The Immortal Hulk didn't just manifest in Avengers 682. The story has been building since Bruce Banner began experimenting with a third type of gamma energy that led Hawkeye to kill him in Civil War II #3. Dude, do you even read comics?

No sense in posting all that since nothing before Avengers 682 has any relevance to Immortal Hulk.
All that has relevance from a reading standpoint. You guys can play the speculating game, that's not my forte.

But there are some common threads running through the series, at least in the first 5 issues. There's the reporter story and the more horrific take on gamma with the green door. I've kind of liked the self-contained stories, though. It really harks back to the tv show with Bill Bixby-type stories with Banner wandering from town to town solving problems.
The common threads are Bruce's father,Brian Banner and the One below All. Many of the bizarre actions of certain individuals throughout the series have been secretly orchestrated by the One Below All. He is able to possess individuals that have been exposed to the mutagenic type of gamma radiation energy.

Third times the charm. There is a hop-scotch Prequel to the Immortal Hulk. Although Banner is the Immortal Hulk, he hasn't been resurrecting himself . After Banner was killed by Hawkeye in Civil War II #3 , the criminal ninja organization ,The Hand, stole Hulk's body in Uncanny Avengers #14. The Avengers tried to stop the Hand's ritual in Uncanny Avengers #15 but were unsuccessful. The resurrected zombie-like Hulk emerged and engaged the Avengers in battle that ran from Uncanny Avengers #16 into #17. In issue #17 Doctor Voodoo was able to free Bruce Banner from The Hand's control and Banner subsequently "died" again.
The second resurrection was in Secret Empires #5. Arnim Zola brought Banner back briefly under the control of Hydra except the second resurrected Hulk wasn't zombie-like. Although Bruce Banner didn't want to help Hydra, the Hulk persona had no qualms about doing battle against the Anti-Hydra group known as The Underground. Zola used a time-delayed device to kill Hulk again right before the Hydra base was destroyed in Secret Empire #6. Hulk's deteriorated body was left buried under the Mount.
The third and final resurrection before immortality came about in the Avengers "No surrender" story arc. Challenger, an Elder of the Universe challenged The Grandmaster to a cosmic game. Challenger was the original Grandmaster but lost the title to En Dwi Gast after losing a previous cosmic game. The Challenger brought Bruce Banner back to life in Avengers #679 (he was in the shadows) in order to have Hulk be his ultimate champion. Bruce realized after this third resurrection that he was essentially immortal and he is captioned as so in a cameo shot in Avengers #682. In Avengers #684 Immortal Hulk goes into battle for the Challenger ,however, he ended up double-crossing Challenger causing him to lose the cosmic game. After the Avengers "No surrender" situation, the Immortal Hulk/Banner decided to hit the road again trying to stay under the radar and do good where ever he could. That's where the Immortal Hulk series picked up.

What are the chances of Immortal Hulk making it to a solo movie someday? Or Netflix/Hulu/etc... I don't get this hype at all.
Huge red flags on this one for me.
Have you read any of the issues? The writer has Hulk doing all kinds of macabre things in this series. Eating the face off one his opponents, being completely dismembered yet still alive and able to reincorporate himself, he cracked Thor's skull and punched She-Hulk so hard she flew 2 miles away. Back to Bruce Banner being on the run and only being able to turn into the Hulk at night. Readers are eating this stuff up.

While rarity (how few of something), doesn't automatically equal scarcity (rarity < desirability), the comparable rarity of a generally desirable cameo appearance (e..g, 1st Darkseid, CM 17 2nd print) generally means that this book is more desirable than the first full appearance. So it is surprising that 684 is selling better than the 682 2nd print and the even more rare 682 1:25 variant.
Ok, I couldn't gather where you were going with the Comichron numbers. I was attributing the better sales for #684 because of the full appearance of the Immortal Hulk versus the cameo appearance in #682.

There's 2k copies of the 682 1:25, 4k copies of the 682 2nd print and about 50K copies of the regular covers of 684 if my memory is correct. I looked those numbers up on comicchron a while back
And?

I'm more interested in why people don't like the #682 1:25 or the #682 2nd print. Both are substantially more rare than #684. I get that some people don't like the 682 2nd print because it uses interior art, but it came out the same week as 684 and I assumed that the relative rarity of the #682s would make them the more desirable book. That being said, it is clear that market prefers Immortal Hulk #2.
#682's regulars aren't rare and collectors are snapping them up because they are being sold cheaply on Ebay. Most of the buy-it-now prices are $4.99. Same with the 2nd print. One seller has sold 53 copies of Avengers #682 2nd print at $3.99 buy-it-now. Seems to be an ample supply that's keeping the price down.
