Pre-Heat Speculation Thread - Get it before it gets HOT 9 9

It's out tomorrow. It's supposed to be derivative, in fact it's the definition of derivative. It's a copy of another's art. I think it's beautiful.

[darkstar]

I think the A-Force NWA cover that debuts tomorrow will become iconic.

Not saying it will be rare, but it's definitely cool. Should Singularity or this new villain (which makes a first appearance in this issue) have a good story, this book will only become more sought after. It's also an Adam Hughes, and his covers are usually in demand. The Campbell cover is doing well in pre-orders on the bay, and I do also like the 1:25 Ibanez cover, but the Hughes cover looks great to me.

 

 

 

its derivative garbage

 

What didn't you like about the issue? I haven't read it yet.

 

I was speaking of the cover art not the content on the interior pages.

The view from below is never derivative . . .

That cover is a bit off putting to me. I do like the future of issue 25, but the print run in through the roof at over 290,000 copies. The 2nd print variant is nice and has a 1/14 of the print run. Last year I grabbed a couple copies of each, and a copy of both of the covers for 34.

I definitely like the bloody handcuff cover much better. The running cover definitely does not say "we just killed Captain America" to me.

WWLA variant is the one to get for Cap 25.

IDW Disney

 

On February 2015, it was announced that IDW Publishing made a deal with Disney to continue the publication of the following comic books

 

Uncle Scrooge, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, and Walt Disney's Comics and Stories

 

The books were released with three covers; regular , sub and RI

 

The Retailers Incentive Cover is a 1:25. Below are sales figures on these books. I cant but think that, with the low numbers printed, those RI covers have to be something Disney collectors will eventually be scrambling for.

 

And yes I have been buying these. I do not have any for sale now, and do not plan on selling them any time soon.

 

Thoughts?

I personally will pass on all. For some reason IDW books just dont move well.. And they have such an expansive library.. Turtles, GI Joe, Peanuts, Star Trek and now Disney...

I remember in the 80s when Gladstone took over Disney, there was a spike in sales on those titles (esp Duck Don Rosa books), fun times.

Hope it works out for them

No interest and see no reason to speculate.

The Uncle Scrooge 1:25 variants sell for as much, if not more, than some of the popular Marvel variant artists.

You're probably in the wrong thread. Either that or why bother comment if that is your approach?

I know exactly what thread I'm in. In my opinion, the IDW speculation and speculation on many of Marvel's variants is unwise. Pump and dump purposes aside, this thread should provide useful information or even a debate on what books people should speculate on.

[krighton]

I personally like the look of the Uncle Scrooge comics...not sure they'll amount to much but I've been known to buy the Peanuts variants also.

I asked for thoughts on speculating on these, simply stating your not interested helps no one, and brings nothing to the table.

To be fair, I did say I don't see a reason to speculate on them. IDW books, historically, do not do well - variants or not. I can only think of less than a handful of modern Disney books that have done well on the secondary market.

 

By all means, buy away, though.

[fastballspecial]

Really you have to consider now that there are several speculator sites that jump on new publishers with low print run books. They pump then they try to sell their copies. All of them are members here now so be aware of who is saying what it helps.

 

Keep in mind the variant chase costs a decent amount. You wont ever hear someone come in here and say man I lost my on that book.

 

Look for books that are unique. They wont all be hits, but some will. Monstress seems to be good bet lately. A well produced book that while had a decent print run wasn't ordered by a lot of shops. Not produced well so high grade will be tough and you get a lot of pages for your dollar.

 

I bought 2 copies at my LCS because I liked the book. I wish I would have ordered several more, but you win and you lose.

 

Develop your own viewpoints on books and actually read them. Some of the goofballs in here are only trying to further there own agenda. In a year or two they will disappear if you listen to them you might too.
