DWL Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) I stopped collecting comics in 1987 and did not return to the hobby until 2007 so I missed the infamous "90s crash". I gather the death of Superman was one of the main drivers or impetus for the 90s crash. Wouldn't it be ironic if the same comic served as the catalyst for the next (future) crash Edited October 2, 2022 by DWL Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it as the catalyst No, it was the book that sold far and wide to more casual buyers, not leaving shops with a ton of unsold and unsellable stock. The infestation of idiotic outsider speculators happened earlier, as Stu noted, though it began even before Image and Valiant.

Somehow blanked on the timing of the Image expolsion. Hell, I stopped in at a comic shop to see what my collection might be worth right at the beginning of Image(being out of comics for a while), and ended up getting sucked back in and buying pretty much the entire first wave( Spawn, Savage Dragon, Pitt, Youngblood, Shadowhawk, etc..) image books. I still have all of them. I never bought a single Valiant book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like pie Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 None of that selling yet. Just raws at about $75ish, which is normal for the first few days. You won't see these spike like the golds, due to the print run and they will be releasing more throughout the con. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
media_junkie Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I don't get it, for both this one and the gold foil one, why is a reprint of a 30 year old comic (one that is not even rare, I mean they printed a ton of those books) going for so much when you can get the original in 9.8 off ebay between $200 and $300.

THE_BEYONDER Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) Wouldn’t this be the absolute best time for DC to actually kill Superman? No hype. No build up. No preview. Just introduce another ridiculously strong villain on the splash page and have him beat him to death in a single issue. If DC wants to be dark.... Be Dark Then you can reboot the entire franchise under the single title of ‘Superman stories once untold’ and readers can reminisce about their great fallen hero forever. This of course brings on the true dark era of DC comics in a world without Superman. And in much the same way as the zombies aren’t really the true threat in the Walking Dead, it’s not the villains that get out of hand. Under pressure from a non-stop villain rampage & in the absence of the all seeing moral compass of Supes....lines become quickly blurred & the villains become hunted and slaughtered for “the good of mankind”....
