Continuing the conversation. What a day of news huh?
So to get the ball rolling this week, which Marvel Announcement for movie are you most looking forward to?
Also, post your pick ups this week.
Finally, TFAW is doing a 70% clearance sale and has a ton of great stuff. Just got done ordering a bunch of reads. It is really worth looking over.

The Black Panther news was the tops for me.
Looking forward to Rasputin, as well as Saga and Southern Bastards. Also will be picking up Face Value #2. Slow week for me playing catch up on reads and dropping several titles. Dropped Wool and And Then Emily Was Gone last issue so I’m skipping those. No flip action for me today.
It’s a slow week for me too. My expected pickups are:
Black Science #10 (Just good Sci fi)
Low #4 (Things are getting interesting now)
Saga #24 (Come on, I don’t need to explain this one)
Southern Bastards #5 (Good ol boy reading)
GuardiansOTG #20 (It’s good, I swear)
Wool #5 (Things getting interesting with this one as well)
Bunker #7 (Slow moving, character story build up makes this one a pickup each time)
Brass Sun #6 (The final issue in the mini series)
Looking forward to Black Panther as well out of the movie announcements along with Civil War story line.
I also picked up another Sheltered #1 (all the others one shop had had a nasty spine crease stress mark on them). Also picked up one Rasputin as well. I usually pick up Image #1’s for the most part, not all but ongoing issues I usually do.
last night was an amazing nerd-gasm 🙂
Picked up loads of sets of Infinity Wars & Civil War
Managed to flip a set of Infinity Wars within few hours for $85!!!!!
I saw the leaked teaser for Infinity War & was just WOW Thanos & the Gauntlet 🙂
that’s awesome
I’m not really into capes and tights, so I might be alone in this, but I didn’t get too excited about all the movie news… I was waiting for your standard Tuesday posts to show up (had to wait til this morning lol)
Yeah. Had a meeting for work that ran late, then kids were up late, and all the marvel movie news put me behind, but we are all caught up and right as rain now.
always a pleasure, regardless of the timing, thank you!
Thanks man.
i have no idea how rare it its but my store was selling Rasputin #1 ra-ra variant at cover price, can’t find any for sale on Ebay so i got 6 or 7 copies, going to list them on Ebay now and see what happens, if anybody has any idea if this variants are really rare hit me up, thanks 🙂
Any chance you want to sell me one
Damn I just listed them all on eBay for $25 each with free shipping, it should take a couple minutes to show, I’m keeping 2 for me to send them to CGC
Nice one on Rasputin Simon, just grabbed one.
Sorry gave credit to wrong dude!!! Nice one roarknahuel!!!
I’m not too sure how rare the Ra Ra variant is. Yet if the series isn’t getting much heat it won’t hold long term. Not a good sign when the other covers are available in bulk for less already.
True but who’s selling it? Two of my local shops weren’t selling it and I’m surprised Midtown didn’t have it listed for sale either.
I just saw a seller in Canada has them at $6.99 yet shipping is way too high as usual to cross the boarder.
Yeah, that’s what keeps me from buying from Canada. The shipping isn’t worth it most of the time. Bummer!
I picked up:
Bob’s Burgers #3
Cutter #4
Dark Gods (too many covers)
Enormous #1 Cover C (in stock on Midtown this morning)
Face Value 2
Godkiller (Beach Ball Comics variant)
Harley Quinn 4:20 annual
Last Born 2 (I liked 1 ok)
Low #4
Rasputin (cover B – I debated, but pulled the trigger on it)
Roche Limit 2 (liked 1 better than I thought I would)
Rot and Ruin Cover D (not pictured on Midtown where I bought it, but doesn’t appear to be very different based on the one I saw at the local shop)
Saga 24 (started buying this several issues back, but haven’t read any yet)
Sundowners 3 (wasn’t sure how I felt about #1, haven’t read #2 yet and probably shouldn’t have bought #3, but I had a coupon from Saturday’s event, so what the hell)
Tales of Mr Rhee Karmageddon 2 (still need to read #1)
TMNT/Ghostbusters – wish I had bought it last week
Wayward #3 (both covers plus #1 Cover E, 2nd print)
Wool 5
I really need to cut back or sell more…
I also got a killer Walking Dead commission done on Saturday by local artist Brian Atkins (Robert Atkins brother)… not sure how to post a picture
I know random has done it in the past but damn if i know how he does it.
I believe it’s just the standard html img src tags linked to the image.

Cutter is so good.
I enjoyed Cutter ok, nice twist in #4, but I’m not sure about that ending…
Jjust read Dark Gods and I thought it was cool..
Dark Gods had a great start. Was a little disappointed in the thinness of dialog in Rasputin. But the art did a great job of telling the story.
I agree on Rasputin… I’ll probably pick up #2
I agree as well about Rasputin. The art was really good in Rasputin but I sort of wanted a little more dialog/narrative during the story telling. It was still enough for me to pick up #2 to see where it’s going.
Haven’t read anything from Saga? You gotta start. The best writing and art are in Saga.
yeah, I know… I bought the first trade, just haven’t got around to it…
can you see it?
Seriously one of the best walking dead commissions I’ve seen, definitely one of my favorites. Congrats!
Yes and it is awesome. Using his stump to thump a zombie. Awesome.
I posted this in the wrong spot, but I’m glad you can see it… I thought it was better than a lot of the ones I’ve seen on ebay… I call it Stub Punch! Here’s more info on the artist: http://brianatkins.deviantart.com/ He said he had never done anything Walking Dead before…
I picked up
GOD KILLER SET
HARLEY QUINN ANNUAL
RASPUTIN SET
DEATH OF WOLVERINE DEADPOOL & CAPTAIN AMERICA
FACE VALUE #2
AND CHECKOUT MY NEW MUTANTS #98 DEADPOOL SET UP ON EBAY

How can I tell the difference between FIrst and Second print Face Value #1?
First print does not have a bar code on the cover. The second print does on the lower left side.
that was the only difference I noticed as well
