Renew your vows #5 = Spider-Verse #2

Sorry Larry! I agree - thanks for the heads up! A good read overall, was just hoping for more.

 

 

Most board-ies were negative the day Spider-verse #2 shipped as well....

Only time will tell.

 

More than half the internet is negative. But I bet most of 'em still went out and picked up a few copies when they figured they could make a buck or two.

Probably not most, otherwise we are estimating there are only around a hundred thousand comic collectors which is depressing. :grin:

 

How'd I do? Negative enough?

100,000 "print" comic collectors & growing.

Have you been to a show lately?

 

The number of kids, tweens, teens, women & families that are discovering the medium through social media, tv, movies, podcast & cosplay is explosive.

 

It's translating to print sales.

They're all looking for something new.

This sold out at my lcs (100+ copies) today. I could only get one copy.

 

Cool...

It'll either be a "thing" or it wont.

 

The modern speculator has to have thick skin.

I'll be ready to throw cash around next week too.

 

I love moderns.

 

Any hint we can chew on tonight?

The 1:200 and 1:250 are selling like those BB-8 toys were selling on force friday!

 

They making a lot of noise on eBay.

 

I like the original cover. Not wanting a variant. LCS had plenty.

The original cover is a lot better. And I couldn’t care less for this kind of speculation: Slott is almost decent on this series so far, so I just enjoy reading it. :D

Before I bite the bullet on the "Stan Lee" wedding variants, honest opinion, do we have a quick buy and dump on our hands or do you guys see these holding value?

 

Otherwise I'm fine with the Bradshaw variant which is beautiful imo.

 

I've seen far too many 1:100+ variants do hot for a minute then fall to around the levels of the normal print run.

If MJ or the kid don't make it beyond Secret Wars this is dead stock.

 

However....

 

If she does & it's well received.

( I buy variants as a fan if they tickle my fancy, flip fast for business )

They are the moderns I actually love.

Am I missing something?? There's an Alex Ross variant? Jim Lee and JSC too? I just see the Queseda's with and w/o mask.

I love comic books. 99% of the comics I buy are for my collection, but I don't have a problem picking up an easy flip. I buy comics for the artwork and most of the time I do judge a book by its' cover (if it's something I'm not familiar with). As just a general comic book fan, the wedding variants are unappealing. I have no desire to pick up any of the wedding variants. I will pick up multiples of each issue in the run (which I have) but I don't see any point to Peter and MJ at the altar, or MJ in a flowing gown or any of that mess. Show me venom, show me A.M.P. being a BAMF, show me Peter getting smacked around by Regent.. just anything other than another Kardashian wedding on the cover.
