  1. My picks are Brass Sun #2 and Adventures of Superman #14. Both are already sold out and not available at most online retailers.

      1. I’m only grabbing the Adventures of Superman #14 to hold onto for now. I think since it’s the Joker, Batman fans (like myself) are grabbing this issue when they normally don’t buy Superman, so it’s going to make it harder to come by.

    1. It’s going to be so easy to get though. I don’t think people are going to be flipping this one for much profit, not yet at least. It’s going to be one of those, hold on, wait and see type of deals I think.

    2. The two shops I visited had stacks and stacks of Outcast. I only picked up two just to hold onto.

  2. Plenty of Outcast at my store. Only one AoS #14 though, and I got it. Surprisingly, zero Wolverine. Apparently everyone went heavy on this book for the Death of Wolverine story arch. I don’t remember the last time a Wolverine book was already gone when the shop opened. Plenty of Secret Wars (I passed).

      1. Yeah, both shops I visited had about handful of AoS 14, they’re likely gone at this point. I picked up one more (the other one I ordered online from mycomicshop just in case there were none at the local shops this morning).
        One shop had no Brass Sun, the other one had 3 available.
        I lost all desire to read Wolverine, didn’t even bother checking for it at either store.

      1. I passed up myself after I saw one shop still had a stack of the 32-Bit Zombies on their shelf..

  3. Well, i can’t make it to the LCS today, so I ordered 4 AoS 14’s online. I think the Jock joker cover and the small print run (only 10k last month!) could mean demand later.

    1. I only picked this one up in hopes #2 convinces me to buy #3. I almost didn’t pick it up though, #1 just didn’t get me excited in wanting to read #2 but I gave it a shot anyways. The sexy silhouettes for the cover, if they have to do skimpy sex covers to sell their comic, they probably already lost me and I just threw away $3.50.. 😉
