American Gods premiered on Sunday. There have been a large number of sales over the past week but it looks like the only one with any decent margin is the ECCC exclusive.

For a comic based on a book because there's a show? I should see what I can get for my signed first edition of the novel.

True "ashcans" haven't existed for over three decades - what they call ashcans now are just variants. Do the homework . . . :grin:

 

#umactually

Probably a lot longer than that. (Of course, "over three decades" is a huge range of time.) Initially ashcans didn't have any original content except for a new title (http://www.recalledcomics.com/GoldenAgeAshcans.php). Then around the late-80s early 90s the term was attached to small preview comics. And now they seem to be applied to full-size previews.

There's been some serious action on the Valiant / Acclaim Quantum & Woody retailer review book since news of a Russo brothers show being in the works:

 

Quantum & Woody #1 High Grade NM/MT Priest Bright Retailers Preview Acclaim $150.89

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Quantum-Woody-1-High-Grade-NM-MT-Priest-Bright-Retailers-Preview-Acclaim-/391748277370?hash=item5b3604547a:g:rpIAAOSwmgJY57AM

 

Quantum & Woody #1 Priest Bright Retailer Preview Review Variant Acclaim Valiant $135.99

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Quantum-Woody-1-Priest-Bright-Retailer-Preview-Review-Variant-Acclaim-Valiant-/361954320022?hash=item5446289e96:g:jRwAAOSwls5Y8F5q

 

I just went through a few dozen pages of this thread since I've barely been on the boards since December. I'm surprised that this didn't get more of a mention. (Maybe cuz it's 20 years old and a lot of them are consolidated in the hands of Valiant collectors?) The retailer review is doing well, but the regular comics have lit up as well. I sold a NM-ish copy of the A cover for over $40, a clearly mid-grade copy for over $20, and have another mid-grade auction that has a bid for $20. When we get some real news on the show, I think this is really going to light up.

Wow, I just looked at your auction.  $20 bid for that copy is damn good.  I said earlier in this thread I have a bunch of the retailer reviews except this one.  As a matter of fact, I never really even looked at this series when I used to really buy up Valiant stuff in cheapo bins.  I'm sure they can still be had if I dig deep enough in the near future.:wishluck:

The Stain was a comic based on a book.

The Strain :shy:

And CGC 9.8 copies of #1 are going for about $50 now.

The people getting into American Gods based on the TV show want the book, not the comics.

I agree 100%. You can get a raw set of Strain #1's for like $30. Wasn't the variant in 9.8 going for about $200?

In general, there are very few comics that have a huge spike and maintain that after a TV or movie release.

I sold my 1st ed HC back when the show was originally announced/greenlit. Probably not my smartest move.

My thoughts too I am going to get the book to read as I love all Mythology. I got my comic book fix with Jupiter's legacy currently.

The Strain has been interesting. They are changing the book to fit a TV show better and its working great. That bloodbank commercial is perfect. The Strain helds its value much longer then I expected.

The book is absolutely fantastic - one of Gaiman's best.

Letter to Marvel,
Please stop pushing the Inhumans. Really please just stop.

Evidence

Wow. Ugly, inaccurate, wat the heck off all the way around imo. Not excited and not expecting a lot. The again, other than the Jenkins/Lee run, I've never been a huge fan of them. Every once in a while they'll have a decent story but few that stand out. The X-men are Marvel's premier team and due to movie rights and some forced storylines, this generation may never know it. 2c

I said the same thing and when I saw the official pic I thought it was a parody of some sort
