That is completely bonkers for an 8.0! Is that a 1:25 or 1:50 or something? Why such a high price for that book, and a lackluster cover if I'm being totally honest?

It is crazy. I have to check my other Petrovich copies, but at the current prices selling my 9.8 is tempting. These books were bad for back cover staple rubs if I recall correctly.
Then again, you can say that for pretty much every Marvel book with a dark back cover from the past 5 years........
At least 5 years...The SW books that have the black action figure ads seem like the ink rubs off of them even just sitting in a box untouched. You come back a year later and can see black ink on the board. And yes, I know the glossy side is the correct side to have the book on. I always cringe when I see YT hauls or other videos where the person slides the book out of the bag, but keeps the board inside. And then slides the book down the board to get back in. You do that just a few times and you have serious ink loss.

DMZ trailer debuted yesterday. I don't see ebay prices increasing, but the show starts next week. Looks like the show has a different premise than the book and is a limited series.
They will probably completely destroy the source material like the creators on Y: The Last Man. 1 season and cancelled. Too hard to just stick with the source material that fans enjoyed throughout the comic series. Time will tell but I don't have high hopes.

There's nothing special about this. It's just one of a billion inserts that were added to comics. They aren't usually line-wide but can still be found in many titles for the month they appeared, but Newsstands may not have them.
According to my records, all my copies of issues previously mentioned have it, plus Cable 10 and X-Force 33.
This^^
CGC probably notates it so as to bring awareness to whether or not it is missing in a copy, the book would be graded as Qualified I assume.

8.0 from me as well

What is wrong with the spine?
From what I see is both spine side corners have a bindery chad from the simple fact that a thick cardstock gets folded, and much tension on the corners creates a pinch/tear. Well within the 9.8 range if there are only 1 or 2 more almost imperceptible flaws.

From last century I nominate Astro City 1/2
I've been thinking of getting the trades for Astro City for some time now. I have never read a single issue of the series, but feel compelled to. Is it a cliche superhero book, or more akin to something like Wanted or The Boys with mature themes etc.?

I’m in a modern Green Lantern hit at the moment. Started with the absolute version of Blackest Night (a gift) and now working back to pick up Absolute Rebirth and Sinestro Corps War.
Great story, great art and feels like a time when DC had a grip on what was happening across the brand.
Great times reading those runs when they came out. The whole comic industry seemed to just be putting out some of the best stories of all time, maybe? Green Lantern across the board was just great. Good pickups!

Not heating up, but maybe in the future with the potential for the Sprouse Obi Wan and Anakin variant due to the upcoming Obi Wan show? Doctor Aphra #30 Hughes Greatest Moments:

I like Book of Boba Fett probably better than most (after hearing/reading comments). I've really enjoyed it all except the one episode (power ranger bikers). I do feel though that they are leaning into the "western" trope a little too hard though. Lucas always had the western tone in the first trilogy and the Mandalorian pushed it a bit further. BoBF seems to have pushed it a little far for me. I still like the show just seemed a little heavy handed. It reminded me of the pod race in Ep 1. Not the childish, ridiculousness of the pod race just the out of place feeling that it had.
I'm with you on the totally out of place hover bikes. Who passed those in the art department? Probably was nixxed by the art lead and a suit says keep those in there..wtf? Also, the Gammorean Guards look horrible in Mando and BoBF. I think I may have said this here or somewhere, but obviously the whole team working on those shows has never watched ROTJ!? They just look like humans with masks that are too big for their bodies, the green color is too light and they lack all the proprortions of the guards we know from the original film. It's like we get 1/3 content to appease the real hardcore fans of the universe, and the other 2/3 is the Disneyfied garbage to cater to the people who have hopped on the bandwagon in the last 5 or so years. The same ones who will hop off the wagon before too long to follow the lemming's to the next IP. End of

I haven't seen any listings saying 1st yet. I'm sure some will pop up but in general, no.
There is no way they would kill him off so quick. He could have his own show.
For sure....Cad Bane was a huge player in the CW and Rebels with a huge fan base. No way they are going to kill him off after 2 episodes. People love to hate him as he is the biggest scoundrel of them all.

This. Marvel's second prints for a few years featured gold ink (with a few exceptions, such as Silver Surfer 50, but that's probably because that already had a special print treatment on the regular edition).
Double this. The gold is 2nd and silver is 3rd. The one CGC label is an error stating the 3rd as the 2nd.

That's a rough treatment. It used to look so much better...
I agree. That is the one thing I do not like about the omnibus reprints. Those old colors were made very bright with the knowlegde that the art is being printed on non-bright white and matte newsprint, and would lose about 2 shades of value/intensity. The omnis get printed on that super bright paper with high gloss and it does not look very good IMO. I think they should print on matte paper with a slight off-white tone and the art would look more like the original. Most digital recolorings are not very good to me either.

So which Game is the Rock's next movie going to based on?
He wont tell us yet, but I know where my money is.
1-6 is a $200 set IMO. I sold a set about 4/5 years ago for like $90? I had a couple extra duplicates of the last 2 issues and got like 30 a piece for them. I just have two full sets now and have been hesitant to sell as those books are pretty scarce. Really wish I had pre-ordered like 8 of each of those issues...

Not at all. I have just been using it for a few years now and the price is good for what you get.

Fantastic. Now I have to figure out where the heck they are since they have been ice cold for so long..........
I'm in the same boat. I sold a copy of 35 about a year ago for $10? Pretty sure I have at least one more, but it is not showing in my Collectorz database. I have ALOT of boxes not inventoried yet, and have looked through a bunch plus some short stacks I have dispersed here and there, but to no avail. Maybe I don't have another, oh well.
Anybody is interested the Collectorz database program is pretty cool and will even scan modern upc's which is pretty awesome. Is only like $3-4 a month for both the app which will work on desktop browser plus the clz app for a mobile device for the scanning portion, and they sync up. Well worth it. Now if only I would get all my books databased that would be great.

I am hearing that the cover A was just shortprinted this week, and the remainder of the copies are to ship next week. Do not pay the ebay price for these. If you already have copies to sell, I guess more power to you as the lemmings are falling over themselves to get this book it seems. If the remainder of the ordered copies ship next week or sometime thereafter, well....
