Pretty sweet $1/$2 box dives today resulted in some later newsstand editions, a dozen DCU reprints, recent minor keys and variants, and a few rather hard to find books... (sorry for the huge post)

Wow, that's a nice treasure trove of DCU's!

Some more fresh dollar box finds this morning (Sonic X is the last issue, Star Wars is a newsie, person_without_enough_empathy Planets are 2nd prints, Orphan Black and Ultimate X Men are promo copies I can’t find hardly any info on):

What's on the back of the Orphan Black comic? I'm pretty sure that was included in a subscription box at one time.

It's the same cover image as the Comics Pro variant but it doesn't have the Comics Pro logo on the bottom right corner. Only one I can find on eBay like this one is a FN copy that sold for $30 in November, but I can find a few of the Comics Pro variant for around $10.

I believe the one you mean has a different cover with her wearing a hoodie that came from lootcrate. I believe I still have one in its polybag.

It wasn't a hoodie, but it was lootcrate

Stopped in a used movie store last night to see if anyone had already stolen and resold a copy of the new "Suspiria", as my local stores were all sold out and I don't trust Amazon to ship me a copy with a nice slipcover! Struck out on the movie, but found some decent books in the dollar box. The Spawn and Spidey 13 (always a good seller for me) are newsstands, as is the GR15, but I only bought the GR15 because I buy every copy I can find for a buck or less, and put them in my comic rack, because GLOWING SKULL. I've got a few dozen copies by now, but only a handful of the newsstands. Go figure.

That silver 2nd print of ASM 101 is pretty sharp. Not selling for much now, but I'll sit on it (hey) until closer to movie dropping.

Nice. New Warriors #1 2nd print.

Thank! Yeah, I pick up all of the gold/copper/silver etc 2nd prints when I see them, but I don't run across that one very often. Ghost Rider 5 is probably the one I see the least.

Thanks! Yeah, those are two of my favorite books as well, I'm amazed that I found that Solar #3 today... I thought the days of those in dollar boxes were long gone, but I did find a nice copy of #10 in a dollar box a number of months ago, so I shouldn't be surprised I guess. Now if those Harbinger #1s, XO #4s, and Eternal Warriors #4s would start showing back up again... Annihilation Conquest #6 has been undervalued for a while, I think, even though it's not exactly a cheap book. Maybe not a lot of people know the importance. Also, that's the first Batgirl #18 Middleton I've come across in the last year and I pick up that #17 anytime I find it for under $5. Love that cover so much.
