Silk appreciation thread - ongoing series

[johnnymu]

Thank you

[toytastik]

Checked two stores at lunch neither had the Skottie Variant and I bought the last #1 at the smaller of the two stores. Decent issue, some twists but nothing spectacular.

[Awax]

1:25 $60 to $25 by the weekend.

Went by my local Hastings today and they had copies of their exclusive and the Young variant.

seen both variants for Silk, neither i felt were so WOW that i had to jump on them. however i did end up picking up 2 copies of the regular # 1 issue.

 

hopefully its a good read, if not then just something to hold onto.

[krighton]

the WOW factor is the low number of variants...best cover is the regular...I had to read it twice to appreciate it....the art grows on you.

That's not the case for me.... i need to be WOWED to spend $15 or so bucks on a variant cover when the regular is usually $2.99 to $3.99. Deathstroke sorrentino variant , Amazing Spider-man martin variant, Spidey 2099 Leonardi variant, they all WOWED me. i didn't mind spending the extra coin for it.

 

I have to agree with the regular cover looking better then the variants. the skottie young baby covers to me seem to have lost their novelty.

Lcs 1 had 5 mangled copies of silk 1 and I was the first in the store

 

Lcs 2 had 10 copies and no variants

 

Lcs sold all 20 silk #1, both Skottie, and the hughes variant withing the first hour. They underestimated the demand.

[krighton]

I should have grabbed a Skottie but I've never seen those increase in price...probably the deadest of the variants across all comics.

First LCS had 2 copies left (regular cover) on the shelf, no variants, I grabbed the best one, second LCS didn't have any at all for some reason. I will check a couple more stores tomorrow or Friday.

You can still order the regular cover or young cover from Midtown (limit one).

[fastballspecial]

Personally out of all the variants (ASM 300 aside) I like the Hastings the best because it ties both characters together with the same cover.

 

I thought that was a very smart move by them.

 

[natevegas]

I am partial to the ASM 9 Comicxpoosure variant, you got the second app of Spider-gwen and Gwen, Silk, Spider-woman, and Spider-man all on the cover. I believe that is the first cover to have Silk and Spider-Gwen on there together, am I right?

[krighton]

btw if you don't live near a Hastings (like me) and you want to order the Silk Cover A variant you can get it online at gohastings for $6.99 each, use code EARLYBIRD to get free shipping

I don't know how your experience has been with Hastings, but I tried ordering direct from them before and it was a disaster. Shoved the books into a box that was too big with with a bit of paper stuffed in. They slid around all over the place and showed up a mangled mess. To their credit, they did take them back.

[krighton]

only experience I've had is they cancelled an order on me once. Hopefully I get lucky or i'll return them.

I have been watching Silk sales on ebay today. Most interesting. Books priced just over the last sold price seem to sell in a snap. My question, since I don't get out much is...Do all variants perform this way on day one? Is Silk1 just flavor of the week?

 

$100 for the 1:25 just now

I think chasing variants of 1 is the wrong route myself, but to each their own.
