Thanks to Kyle for pointing this out.
Act quick if you want one they keep disappearing every time the pop up.
Descender #1 Painted Visions Variant are back up. There are 35 copies available if you want one.
Might not be a bad idea to follow theamazingcomicshop on eBay if you miss this one.

Informed Comic Book Speculation and Pop Culture News
Yes…I finally got one.They are going super quick!
And gone. All 35 copies that quick. Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.
Yes, yes they are. It’s a sweet cover. I think it’s going to be clear winner if Descender heats up.
Movie lined up. I think this will do ok.
Very true as well. If movie makes it to screen and it doesn’t suck.. yup!
I agree, this one and the eccc are going to do very well. Both are excellent signature SS candidates with the free space as well.
Yes they are, which is why I have 4 of the ECCC/Comics Dungeon variant that I got ahead of time from the shop and want to pick up one of two of these as well. Only 900 copies or so of the ECCC/CD one as well. CBCS is going to be taking probably too much of my money at the end of this month.
theres still some Powell variant covers left up ( only 1000 ) http://www.ebay.com/itm/DESCENDER-1-Nate-POWELL-Variant-BEACH-BALL-Exclusive-JEFF-LEMIRE-Image-Comics-/141592967976?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20f7993b28
Keep missing these which is infuriating. I would love to add these to my group of books I am bringing to ECCC for CBCS sign/grade. Time to message, follow and hope for more.
Finally snagged one!
The movie news is icing on the cake. This issue was an extremely strong debut. I have no reason to beleive this series won’t continue to pick up readers and grow in value for a while.
Your guys are welcome. Just wish Comics Dungeon would list their variant on Ebay.
Its back up, again: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Descender-1-Painted-Visions-Rafael-Albuquerque-Variant-Jeff-Lemire-Nguyen-/221708976578?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item339ee281c2
Available , again. Price keeps going up. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Descender-1-Painted-Visions-Rafael-Albuquerque-Variant-Jeff-Lemire-Nguyen-/221708996840?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item339ee2d0e8
They are back up for sell. Just got 5 of them.
Oh, this seller is awesome. I bought 2 on their very first listing. Snagged two more, they noticed and refunded me S/H from the second one to send all together. Very cool of them, I was just gonna expect two packages since I bought at separate times. π
Wow. messaged the seller, told them will list more tomorrow morning and they list groups twice more today that I missed. Anyone know how to watch a completed item so you are alerted when it is re-listed? This is getting stupid and my patience is waning.
Will “baby sit” the seller and reply back if he has more listed.
back up
They are back.
Has 10 Avail.
FINALLY got 2
NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Excellent.
Really like this one so damn happy. These two + at least two ECCC/CD vars + probably 1 or 2 regular covers (a or b) are going to look nice double signed and CBCS graded. Loved the book from a reader standpoint so glad it is as popular as it is. Happy to support awesome products.
Agreed
lol between Spider-Gwen and Descender, I think my Friday at the con will be spent going from booth to booth with a CBCS rep in tow, and my wallet crying for a while. At least until I get them back anyway haha.
Wow these things are going fast, any idea why they are so hard to find? Was this just a super tiny run for the variant? I’m only seeing 1 seller for this.
Painted Visions store variant. The ebay seller is the store.
Ah….well that makes sense. Either way, by far my favorite variant, glad I grabbed a copy to go with the ECC cover.
Just picked up five copies of the booksamillion variant
I got two copies at their store yesterday for cover but they are now limiting to one per customer. As a box holder they won’t give me anymore at cover. They are flying off the shelf at the store. I even called and asked for a handful of copies at markup, and they said no. Had to get on eBay and order more. ? I ordered 10 BAM covers too. We’ll see how they package. ?
I signed up earlier today to 4ΓΔ’ mainly for their variant. This one has more of different look. Plus another SG isn’t bad I guess.
DANG. I missed ALL of the relisted ones too. Bummed. Following the seller in hopes of more.
It’s back on, folks: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Descender-1-Painted-Visions-Rafael-Albuquerque-Variant-Jeff-Lemire-Nguyen-/221709209169?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item339ee60e51
Yup, just snagged 2 of them!
I picked up one of these for cover at the LCS on Wednesday, but what can I say i got swept up in the hype and got 2 more. I also got 2 each of the EH variants.
Picked one up because I really liked the cover… does anyone know the print run on this variant? If it was posted already I didn’t see it.
This book is on fire. It’s selling way faster than the others. With a difference of only 500 between several print runs I wondered which would become the favorite, it appears this one is the most sought after.
Yeah, it took me four tries to order one.
Print run on the Painted Vision is rumored to be 1000. With so many variants ranging from 500-1000 it became a wash until the masses spoke aka purchased the fastest.
315 out of the 1000 have sold pretty quick on eBay!
Thanks Kelly. Glad I picked one up!
Seller has delisted the sell.
They keep going on and off.
Sorry relisted the sell.
Back up!

They keep raising the price by a $1 each time they relist them. Don’t want to sleep on these.
+1 on that.
I’m surprised they’ve been raising it by a $1 so slowly. As fast as these been selling, they could of probably raised it a lot more by now. π
The Nate Powell varr. are back on. They are $9.99

Just as an fyi to all. I ordered my Painted Visions yesterday and got it today!!!! Plus they threw in an extra copy!!!!!!
Aren’t you like spitting distance from Virginia though? π
Hush, I actually ordered after 5 pm yesterday, I ordered after I left the post office dropping off my packages. So it is amazing how fast the got them to me.
What kind of shape were they in, how were they packaged ?
Near mint. One came in 9.2-9-4 the other was a straight 9.8. Packaging was u-line mailer inside a legal flat rate envelope.

I just got a big order in from Midtown comics with Descender #1 and a bunch of other comics (many that are sold out), and every singe comic was damaged! Now my Descenders issue all have their corners bent and folded in towards the cover. I hope they will be able to fix the issue. Not a good day!
I think we all feel your pain on that one and it sucks. Hope they make it right.
They’re usually good about returns. Last time I got one in bad shape (it was actually beat up before shipment cause the packaging was perfect), they said to just send it back for refund (they were all out so couldn’t do any exchanges).
That’s what bothers me so much is that many of the titles are sold out and I know they won’t be exchanged. Stuff happens, at least I was able to get on board with the Nate Powell and Rafael Albuquerque Variants.
There’s been quite a bit of that going on as of late Poyo. I read a few other blogs and there are many folks getting books damaged pre shipment.
Most of my orders recently have been good. The damaged one I had was from last summer. But yeah, getting a comic that’s clearly mishandled or damaged not by shipment sucks. They shouldn’t even pack those, maybe they’re hoping it’s more of a reader than a collector buying the comic.

Thanks for the heads up Anthony, was able to get 2 yesterday at the 10.99 price point π
I just had to grab a few more.

I was out today and decided to swing by the LCS, and I got another copy if this one at cover plus another copy of cover A and B just to be on the safe side.
Cover B is trending up
