I ended up winning an auction last night on that CGC 9.8 3rd print. Too bad that 3rd print wasn't a bit cheaper to add a few more.

I have this feeling we may see Gorr at end of Moon Knight Epi 6 murdering one of the Egyptian Gods that would finally reveal him and the next day we get a new extended Thor trailer with Gorr in it.

That would epic and awesome all in one breath.

Scored this in a local trade. Any thoughts? I am considering slabbing it.

A lot of good perspective here. TBH, I gave up buying on spec and just pick up what I like. Unlike many here, I enjoyed the whole MechaHulk cockpit idea. But that's just me. I just felt that issue #6 fell flat and had no real resolve. I finished reading it and said "Titan? Big deal." Plus it was hella confusing! I really hope for selfish reasons issue #3 is the designated first appearance. And I hope Cates can position the Titan character for a bigger moment that blows things up like Knull did (Venom #3).

BTW - The philosophy of not buying on spec has iced me out of many big hits. For instance, I do NOT have a UF 4. Why? Because I just do not care for the Miles character.
I'd rather put money into something I love like older Hulks, ASMs...heck even X-Men.
 

And for full transparency, I have a graded Hulk #3 variant Tradd Moore. It does NOT state the 1st appearance of Titan. Don't know if that means anything.

You know, TBH the hate train is high with issue #6. People claim Cates has a habit of introducing a great new villain, tease it for a few pages, then not pay off the character. I do not have enough experience with his work. But, I felt he helped launch the fervor for Knull and the Venom series he did was quite entertaining. 

No spoilers -- but after I read Hulk #6, I was pretty underwhelmed with it. The whole Titan banter was a bit overhyped. Not a bad story per say, but I expected far more.

I do feel that #3 will be the first appearance for a myriad of reasons. Mainly, as one commentator said, it is more than a cameo and we don't have that many variants like #6. Do we know the print run of #3 vs #6? That might also play into book equity and popularity.

I was thinking the same thing. Clean /Press should raise it up to maybe an 8.0?

Scored this book at a local pawn shop for a few bucks. Thoughts on the grade. I might slab it.

9.0? I was thinking more 9.2-9.4. 

Recently purchase it, has a slight imprint ding on the bottom left barcode area. Unsure where the grade would land if I bothered. Thoughts? Thank you!

Thoughts on this copy? Thanks!

Hi all - A few more books to help with grading.  This was a bin find. Only $2. Thoughts on this ASM #304. Thanks

@zzutak - I believe you are right. I might just encase it on my own. The color is beautiful on it and love the distress (sort of a worn down pulp fiction Photoshop filter) effect. The book is by no means a gem. But aesthetically is pleasing.

This slipped under the radar. Polite bump

Interesting. So not a 9.0? Any specific notes why?

I was thinking an 8.0 but maybe 7.0 would be right.

Such low grades. I feel it might be in this range as well.

Three comics per day in this forum please. 

Apologies

Hi there - What do you think? Wishing to slab. I feel it is a good copy but the stains in the back are hard on the eyes. Thanks!

Hi there - What do you think?  Wishing to slab. Thanks!

Hi there - What do you think?  Wishing to slab. Thanks!

Hi there - What do you think? Bought it 20 years ago. Wishing to slab. Thanks!

Well...Knull was a runaway success for now. Venom #3 is still hot. So perhaps Titan will enjoy the same fame?

Though billed as "Cameo", I feel Hulk #3 will be the book people pursue as a 1st appearance of Titan. Others disagreed.

Given that Cates is writing it, I don’t think it’s worth putting that much effort into the debate. His run will go out with a whimper and nobody with care about the characters introduced. Rinse, repeat. 

Carry on, though. I’ll be somewhere on the internet having the same debate about something Star Wars.  

LOL! Good one. Made me laugh. No love for Cates? 

Title says it all. I heard a debate in my local comic book store. Few collectors argued Hulk #3, others said it was just a cameo.

What say you? Which will be Black Hulk's first appearance and why?

I would say a good 4 spreads in. So, 8 pages. I...just...can't....look...at the back. Heartbreaking. And such a good book for X-Men.
