Popular Post Qalyar Posted March 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2022 I have a thing for obscure books. Arrived today, here's one that's way more obscure than most. Teeny Titans was a mobile game, sort of like knockoff Pokemon with DC characters, released in 2016. It was also something of a parody of the toys-to-life fad (Skylanders, Lego Dimensions, etc). Along with the game, DC produced a promotional comic -- also called Teeny Titans -- for digital distribution. It's very much a Teen Titans Go! product, with the Teen Titans discovering Teeny Titans in-universe (where it is a toys-to-life game), and rushing off to collect figurines of themselves to play with. DC's digital comics portal still has it available to read online. What the DC website won't tell you is that this comic wasn't only released for digital distribution. DC printed a very small number of physical copies. To the best of my knowledge (and general consensus online), these were exclusively distributed at SDCC 2016 to attendees of the Teen Titans Go! panel (10:15 - 11:15 on Thursday, July 21). Also of note, the scheduling blurb for that panel didn't make any mention that there would be a comic book distributed; it was solely advertised as a "Video Presentation and Q&A" about the Teen Titans Go! cartoon (with producers and voice cast members on the panel). So there was no particular reason for comic book collectors to attend, unless they also happened to be fans of the cartoon with an open convention slot on Thursday morning. SDCC records show 653 registered attendees for that panel. Even if they all attended (unlikely), and even if everyone who attended got a copy of the promo comic, it's a fair bet that most of the attendees paid little heed to what they likely viewed as merely an advertisement for a mobile game they were probably mostly uninterested in. Most copies probably didn't survive much past the convention. It's a safe bet that there are fewer than 500 copies of Teeny Titans in circulation, and given its near-total absence from the secondary markets, I'm willing to bet that there's a lot less than that. In fact, most discussions of the book online don't even use an image of the actual, physical comic! As far as I'm aware, all physical copies have the blue "Teeny Titans mobile game available now" sticker on the cover at bottom-left; images without that sticker are taken from the digital edition. So, here it is. It's (probably) not Twisted Metal 2 levels of rarity, but it's certainly one of the most elusive modern DC promos. Doubly so for one that features major DC characters in any form.

Was this from a LCS or a private owner or some weird place that wouldn't have been expected to have these in the first place? Condition looks pretty good eyeballing those pics; 32 has what looks like a NCB crease at bottom-left that would almost certainly press out. FMV-wise, the final issue is of course the real winner, but frankly the whole run is harder to find than a lot of people would expect. It's also pretty awesome.

It was a local store that gets comics in sometimes, but mostly sells cards and games. The first and last issue were in one box, but as I went through more I found the rest of the whole run. There are a couple that are VF , but a lot of these are NM and several that as you suggested if pressed would be 9.4+ . I have had many trips to this store that netted nothing, but have had several times that were just awesome. My last big hit there was half a run of groo a lot of which had MJI and about 20 Conan that also had MJI when I found those I took extra time really digging and ended up with 4 MJI that were spectacular. One I sold to a board member here who has been looking for that issue in VF/NM for years. Those 4 were easy 9.4+ ( I always hold reservations about calling any 9.8) Still was definitely pleasantly surprised with this one.

Frankly, the late 20s thru 32 are not easy to find. 27 is a tough one too. The Superman vs Spider-man homage cover. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
