This one was a submission. Not sure why they didn't acknowledge the Newsstand Edition. They seem to still be hit-or-miss on that.

Another shipment came back today. (My standards for Newsstands are somewhat lower than Directs.):

A few additions I wanted to post -- the last comic been a rather special one, too

Great stuff! Not often you see Heroes encapsulated either

I think the only issue of Heroes that had been slabbed before my submission was issue 1. My long-term goal is to get the original line in 9.6 or better. I've got a lot of the tough books out of the way already. Just need to go through the rest of my raw collection for candidates on all of the earlier issues.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that Static book is the regular Coipel variant, not the foil, correct?

[GeeksAreMyPeeps]

Unbelievable. Just got an eBay purchase in the mail. 8 books, no bags or boards, just wrapped in tissue paper and put in a bubble mailer. No cardboard at all.

I can tell you from experience those Heroes books are really hard to find. I have found one set and some extras in one shop last year and its my only find. Long Hot Summer is another one that I bought anytime I found them cheap because I never see them anymore.

Wise Son as well, since that was published very close to the end.

Sweet. Key Collector is still calling this a cameo, but the sequence he's in is multiple pages, so I think it's fine to call it a full appearance. Ebon is teased in issue 6 of Season One, but it's basically just his voice in the shadows. Still a good pickup though, since I'm sure there are fewer of those than Shadows of Dakota #1.

Hey, thanks  Yeah, that was my justification too, and not sure why it's classed as his 2nd cameo appearance - never heard of a second cameo appearance in comics before - due to the amount of panels, and that he's physically present as oppose to #6 which you suggested ~

I've seen an ungraded copy of 40 go for over $100 by itself, so I think that's a pretty good deal. I still need that 43 in 9.8 (only have a lowly 9.6 right now).
