  1. Which is great as its one of the best of the year imo so everyone still has chance to read. Theres only been 5 issues, its not that well known, its going on holiday until next year (owner at my LCS says he thought it was only a mini series so passed on it) Not sure why there should be expectation for price increases less than a year after release. Loving this book and can't wait for January.. For those interested in value I reckon this is showing epic long term movie / series potential if it continues to be this good which is where price increases may come, but wouldn't expect that anytime soon.
  2. Amen.. Its bad all over.. But cables hands and gun are something else.. Like the hands and forearms shrunk and just fused together with the gun somehow warping in over them
  3. I've direct messages then multiple times via fb. Finally responded a couple of months ago when I said I would be opening a credit card dispute.. They said they would look into it. Then nothing. About 3 weeks ago they they responded to my second threat of opening a dispute that it would be shipping "tomorrow" So far still no dice... Im overseas in holiday currently and will likely just go through with the chargeback when I get back which is a shame as I was really looking forward to getting those books. Clearly comic xposure have too many variants to be able to manage effective customer service.
  4. The likes of Comicxposure should definitely be easing up as they aren't keeping up. I'm still waiting on my asm 796-800 set (pre ordered way back in February) to be shipped.
  5. I feel for you asm completionists out there... 50+ books per issue over a few months is very very hard to keep up with
  6. Restarts in January!! Yay. :). Love this one
  7. The book itself is more than likely future drek in terms of value ( although I thoroughly enjoyed reading it). so get the cover you like.. I agree Cover a is awesome
  8. What about weapon h? It's been a blast and it's looking like it's heading towards utter insanity in a good way shortly..
  9. Like it or loathe it, (I'm in the latter) shilling is a fact of auctions anywhere and everywhere.. It can be out ruled or even made illegal but people will still try it on if gives the chance of greater returns. its been going on for as long as auctions and it likely always will. Sometimes its underhanded other times its blazen. in housing auctions in my part of the world the auctioneer places owners bids if the price isn't where the the owner wants it and its legal. However at the end of the day, no buyer has to meet a shills bid, so as long as you only bid what you were willing to pay, you never pay more than you budget (though may pay more than was necessary) So if something ever does sell at these prices there was at least one keen, legitimate, wiling buyer Truth be told, if I was made of money I'd pay whatever I had for these and would drop a huge bid for spawn sketch covers, but alas I'm not so my budget is usually $100 and I've got no chance.
  10. That's a shame.. Seems like there was nice momentum building in the story. Hopefully it's not a long break
  11. Shill bidders can only really operate whet there's real bidders actually willing to bid at these levels.. So someone really wants this book and knows how hard it is to get
  12. Really good.. Now thinking I need to read through the others again and figure out what was real or not.. It's really building well. Is it true they are only doing 5 issues this year then resuming next year?
  13. Yeah. I got the colour version ( which also has decent value but the b+w is a unicorn I think)
  14. Issue 1 (802) was fun. Not great, but a safe start for the run.
  15. There a few very recent that keep climbing also.. 280 Mattina, 283 image expo and 285 megacon Oh and I really want 221 sketch but a) never see it for sale b) will not be able to afford the asking price should it ever appear.
  16. Was really surprised to see my LCS had a huge stack of #4 today.. This is a shop that only puts the barest amount of comics on the shelf - usually 5 or so books even for big events like recent asm 800 or the batman 50. The guy working today didn't know why. Was there a promo or something? I hope this book catches on as I really want to be able to continue reading it.. Its great so far.
  17. I think the dual numbering is a winner.. We can keep our long term arc and newcomers can feel confident of a jump on point.. So much better and easier to understand for for all.
  18. They need to have a live streaming of the rejected books getting thrown into a fire one by one.
  19. The rare spawn variants certainly seem to do well
  20. Perhaps this thread should be renamed : "Batman #50 support group"
  21. The whole concept of an arch nemeis "pulling the strings" to sabotage the wedding and "break" (emotionally) the hero seems far more "Days of our Lives" than something you would want to read in a batman comic .. Pass.
  22. Give it a month or two. Hard for people to let the bottom drop out in a few days.
  23. The whole premise - can/should batman be happy and therefore can he love - is a bit too teenage magazine. That it is being stretched out even further.. Well.... Sigh.. The guy is a good looking beefcake billionaire and all he could say was paperback schlop. They are writing bats for the wrong demographic.. Or maybe the demographic has changed that much that fantasy romance novels is a thing we apparently want to read
