Hmmm. Looks like Slott is planning to develop Spiderboy a bit further. I guess I should have done the larger pre-order. 

Feel the same way. I’m not surprised that #7 with the first Spider-boy took off but it seems to keep the momentum it started with and is bleeding into another book. Will have a better opinion once I read #8. 
 

I like that they’re adding new heroes and villains the last few years. There was a period of time where new characters were few and far between.

Spider-Man #8. Not sure if it’s because of his new powers or 2nd Spider-boy but it’s hot out of the gate. Bringing between $18-20 shipped. 

this cover is similar to a panel in TDKR where Superman is being struck by lightning

Let me know when they come up with an actual new character and not the millionth spider-something or some new character based on old existing characters.

Just too bad it was signed. I will never understand signing rare things.

Just like the plastic does . . .

We’d have to go back 4 or 5 decades.

So basically every Star Wars comic that comes out now (Main title, High Republic Adventures, Aphra, Bounty Hunters, etc) has a first appearance.  Are we supposed to think every single one of these first appearances is going to have staying power?

 

Nobody here said that. They sell so that's all that matters for Marvel because they have a giant fan base. They will likely have a long run of shows and movies as they start to spin-off from the main story.

Don't worry. I'm sure your Star Trek comics will heat up any day now.

Awesome! I'll finally be able to sell... wait a minute, I don't have Star Trek comics. But Star Wars is still mediocre and way overrated.

Rebels, Clone Wars, and Andor would like to have a word.

But, yes, there have been some stinkers.

I wouldn't mind picking up a few copies. Has anyone read this, and could comment on the extent that Spider-Boy is involved...at all, a few panels, whole story, etc.?

Read it. Maybe 4 pages or so. Definitely part of the story and a little more insight into what he can do though there is a lot of story to tell imo

I freaked out seeing this because I recently cut down many of my pull lists and figured I missed the boat. Have been spending way too much money....anyway, this series was the only one I saved on midtown - phew!

It’s buy or hold time depending on your situation. There are so many cheap books right now that it’s hard to get top dollar for anything. The bad thing is that not everyone can afford to just sit on their collection or add to it. Here’s hoping you can 👍

[Lightning55]

I can see the market changing through my bidding experiences. For the past year or so, I have been frustrated, usually having been the second highest bidder in auctions. For example, over the course of 20 ebay auctions, I would win maybe 2, come in second 15 times, and in 3 auctions get lost in the crowd. Now I am winning 2-3 times as many auctions, while still bidding conservatively. It's a good time to be a buyer (I hope).

Summer season Many cons. U buy cheap u will be fine. Slab markets is really taking hits right now. Many raw books still selling well right now. Unless u need the cash stay the course or leave me less competition lol.
