white_rushin Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I can't be the only one that thinks the artwork on Shazam 28 is pretty unappealing right? Not a fan of that style at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastballspecial Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Man I would hate to be the guys that will be stuck with all these books later. I hope old time fans that have been holding their collections are cashing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope old time fans that have been holding their collections are cashing out. I'm a huge Black Adam fan and I'm one of the seven with a 9.8. I really hate to depart with it but dang if someone will put some cash down I might part with it. Maybe I put it on the Bay for a crazy amount and see if anyone bites.

thedude Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Now I wanna pose a question here, I'm not searching for this book by any means, but if one stumbles across it in the wild, say a 5.0-6.0 copy for $50, do you pick it up? wouldn't pick it up if i were wearing a hazmat suit and asbestos gloves I just traded one in 6.0 for at least $200 worth of great books(if I'm being extremely conservative), so please let me know if you have a 5.0-6.0 copy available for $50. I like money. just got a Shazam #28 in 7.5/8.0 for $2 dollars and 99 cents at LCS it was the only issue of the run they had in the whole store. how crazy is that?

kimik Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I am curious to see how Shazam #28 does longer term. It may pull back a bit, but a new floor will be established. The one thing it does have going for it is that it is not an easy to find issue in the run. When I see Shazam in auction lots or at the LCSs it is ususally issues in the #1-20 range, not the later ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedude Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) yes, I agree, in fact, when I look for the title at several of my LCS, they usually don't have ANY issues, which is what made this find today so strange as the #28 was the only issue they had.

When I see Shazam in auction lots or at the LCSs it is ususally issues in the #1-20 range, not the later ones. The 30 cent and 35 cent issues have always been way tougher. The only issue other than #1 that I ever went after was 25. And I always found 10 #1s to every 25. I didn't know about the Black Adam thing until they started popping on Ebay late spring - early summer. By July I came across two near complete 30 cent runs, both with the 25 and 28 pulled.

Shadow Images Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 This has got to be the high water mark for speculative dumbassery in the hobby.

A high profile actor is playing a comic character. If you don't understand why people are clamoring for the book I'm afraid the comic industry and it's current buyers have passed you by.

Broke as a Joke Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 The Rock is a high profile actor now? Shazam 28 is a neat book, but I don't feel there are many people losing sleep over not having a copy. And no matter what, at the end of the day it's a villain, and basically a Shazam centric villain, so once this movie comes and goes the demand won't sustain itself.

The Rock was the highest grossing actor last year, so yeah. Not one to doubt Dwayne's achievements (OK, let's say I'm not for the sake of argument ), but he basically owes the "highest grossing actor" honor to Fast And Furious 6, which probably would've been hugely successful even if he wasn't in the movie. Saying The Rock is the highest grossing actor of the year because he played in Fast And Furious 6 is (not exactly but kinda) like saying Jeff Goldblum was the highest grossing actor of 1993, or Sam Worthington the highest grossing actor of 2009. Technically correct, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
