Anybody here know why Valiant recalled the mask variant of Rai #2? A quick internet search doesn't really tell me anything.

 

The lines around the mask that are the cut lines went over the ears, not around them. Really silly and costly reason to recall, IMO.

Thanks for the information. Someone had posted a close-up of one side on Facebook but I still couldn't figure out what the screw-up was. It's clear now.

There was no recall. They just asked retailers to destroy the bad issues. And most of these issue will not get destroyed.

I have heard some people say their retailer would not sell it to them.

That's completely different from them being destroyed! :baiting:

Seems that fad is over.

Right, I was thinking that after I posted. They might just be holding onto them for now.

Only because they can get more for them on eBay! lol

yeah last weekend I was at a show and a kid came to the table I was working at and went to one of the three walls. Saw a Sonic #0 and just stood there staring.

 

I said "can I help you with anything"

 

"oh man, Oh man, I just I just don't know"

 

He was wearing a Sonic shirt

 

So I said "oh you want to see this?" and showed him the Sonic #0 to which he replied

 

"oh man I just never expected to see this here. A sonic comic book?"

 

Moral of the story - Sonic fans don't care about the comics and its a very finite fan base. A sonic movie sounds cool but in reality it going to be panned towards 4 - 10 year olds. Movie news will in no way effect the comics value.

 

Well said Jimmi - took the words right out of my mouth

 

While I agree with you, I wonder how much that matters? I honestly don't think many of these hot comics are being purchased by the audience that would appreciate them, but by speculators and collectors who want in on the current hot thing.

 

It seems any flimsy excuse will do too:

 

"This character is a favorite of cosplayers."

"This character is going to get 5 minutes in the next superhero movie."

"This character is going to make an appearance in the new 52 or Marvel now."

 

Except the 40 year old crowd was playing Sonic the hedgehog while high as kites in their dorm rooms in college. I suspect that is why the comics are worth something. I don't think Sonic back issues being hot now for a good 5+ years is purely being driven by speculators who have no nostalgia going on.

The Lava Reef Zone is still a good place to get high long after college!

Yeah! Send me a PM I'll buy this off you.

 

I strongly feel like if I give my reasoning more people will start trying to buy these.

Has anyone checked the rest of Latour's previous work to see if he's ever drawn a middle-aged white male before...? It might be worth looking into.

 

 

Sandman looks just like Neil Gaiman - he is his own prototype! Anyone have a copy of his high school yearbook?

 

Also, I'm pretty sure Mcfarlane drew a black soldier somewhere in the ASM Assassination Plot storyline (Spawn prototype right there).

 

lol

Natural conclusion of this thread will be people robbing the Lascaux Caves

Sonic already has a nice little following. If you find nice copies of the first 150 or so issues in the dollar bins, or less, I suggest picking them up.

 

I would also buy:

 

Justice League Europe 37

Superman 62

Detective Comics 639

Electronic Gamer Monthly Oct 1991

Disney Adventures November 1991 ( sonic mini comic ) This might be the first appearance of Darkwing Duck too but I do not know for sure.

 

Dude, you are a walking encyclopedia of obscure (and sometimes questionable) first appearances (thumbs u

 

He really is.

I think he may have a mutant power....

 

If I could have one it would be that of Multiple Man so I could film my dupes pleasuring each other.

I just read this now, thank you very much for making me laugh so hard this early in the morning.
