Wednesday, the best day of the week. New Comic Book day. It is like your birthday in the middle of each week. We open it up each week to hear what you are spec-ing on.
Let us know what your pick ups are (always makes me feel better that I am not the only person who buys a ton of books ((Looking at you Poyo)). What books did you drop. What books were there stacks of on the shelves and which ones disappeared.
Ok Wednesday Warriors, let’s hear it.

Informed Comic Book Speculation and Pop Culture News
ruff specing week I forsee…probably just gona dig for deadpool back issues and psylocke first appearances maybe some back issue deals…..want to see the art in runlovekill new Image book, Archie vs predator maybe flip a variant that gamestop one is dope!
I think the trick to pops is getting the odd ones. Futurama is cool so they throw the main characters in which everyone will get and then a cool odd one like Devil Robot which is still one of my favorite episodes. Robot hell.
Descender 2 has a preview for RunLoveKill (and Kaptara). The art seemed very Aeon Flux-y to me…
I spend about $100 on books weekly specing etc. Unless I find killer deals on variants then Ill spend more. What are you guys spending weekly?
Right now $100 -$150. Spent more last week because I bought a total of 15 Deadpool phantoms which I flipped for $38.99 each. (Pay off was great)

I’ve been about the same last few weeks.. last week was smaller though and this week will likely be smaller, unless I land some variants at cover.. but even then, not many variants catching my eye this week either.
taking a break this week..nothing much out ..going to spend the weekend getting rid of old stuff..finally
I have been listing like crazy. Been selling the hell out of the Phantom Deadpool variants from last week. Made my month off them. Have about 50 auctions going on eBay at the moment.

I just had to comment on the new Terminator trailer. THIS MOVIE LOOKS TERRIBLE. OMG. I was embarrassed for the director when I was watching it.
Light week, but I’m sure next two weeks will make up for that lol
Archie vs Predator reg and variant
Betty & Veronica Hughes cover
RunLoveKill
Tithe
Going to be a lighter week for me. My definite pulls this week:
Ei8ht #3
Strain #8
American Vampire #7
Fade Out #5
Ghosted #19
Revival #29
Marvel
Magneto #17
Thor #7
Simpsons #220
Letter 44 #15
Grievous Journey Of Ichabod Azrael #2
The maybe’s after checking them out:
Tithe #1
Aquila #1
Bloodshot Reborn #1
RunLoveKill #1
The extra pickups:
Got two Tithe #1 1:10 variants.. I think they’re 1:10.
Convergence #2 Lee variant.
Would of gotten one of the rarer Bloodshot Reborn variants but it was all beat up, had a folder corner and 2 big crease marks, even at cover wasn’t going to bother with it.
Really wanted the Archie Predator Francavilla variant but one shop didn’t get it and the other had it at $25. Although it’s hot, I’m thinking in a few weeks, it’s gonna die down and be half that price.
Oh, also picked up some more Walking Dead #132… I’m gambling that Alpha makes it to the show one day and plays a big role in the comic/show.
Anthony, what is your eBay name? I’d like to check out what you are selling.
apopcomics424, if you go to the user ebay page or the page marked ebay at the top, or simply look to the right you will shee an Enormous comicsheatingup variant, any of those ways will get you to my ebay page and items

Ms Marvel 14
RunLoveKill 1
Will also look for the AH Betty/Veronica variant but I’m still a bit iffy on that one.
My typical week is around $30-40. Still new to speculating and taking it easy. Have hit some good home runs but also have a nice stack of misses already as well. Extremely fun but maddening all at once! 🙂
I’m with you on that, but learning slowly what tends to work. Looks like we’re spending about the same, but man I get addicted to getting good looking covers too! lol
Always buy what you like. Eye appeal is important.

my lightest week in a long time as well
1. superior iron man 7
2. wolverines 14
3. the strain 8
4. kitchen 6
Which Deadpool keys should I be looking for? I found #14 last week for $5!
That is a big one. I am not a huge dp fan so I can’t give all the keys. I would say but any of the Joe Kelly series you can find.
Also Cable #3 Xforce 19 these are all keys to the movie.
I do think 54 and 55 have the punisher in it and are valuable issues.
Only one book on my pull list: Sabrina #2.
It’s always good to catch your breath and step back after a few crazy weeks.
Not really excited about any new books except for gi joe 212 & 214
Still digging around the digital bins for;
Rai 0
Bloodshot 6
Archer and Armstrong #8
Morlocks 1
Macross 1
Shadowman 1
Harbinger 1 & 10
Micronauts 8
X-Force 2, 11 & 19 (prices slowly rising again)
Crash Ryan 1
Key Robotech issues
Shadowman 8
Batman 436
which series x-force?
I’d guess Volume 1 with those being decent options based on the Deadpool movie. 🙂
First series.. I’ve also been following number of listing for those books and supply seems to be falling… Can’t say why… Most people specing/holding I guess? Can’t see why… High grade copies bring on good premiums…
Also, a few recent article saying that Kane will still be cast in Deadpool movie even though Ed Skrien was cast as Ajax…
He still could be but I believe filming has started.
Why the big price hike in all the valiant books?
Movie deal.

Their latest book Divinity is awesome, probably my favorite Valiant title besides X-O Manowar.
Did #3 come out today?
Next week it comes out.
Super quite week for me as well.
New Stray Bullets which is always one of the books I look forward to the most each month.
Fade out 6… I’ve forgotten what’s going on in this and will probably need to start from the beginning again. Remember I was enjoying it though. Also that Criminal 1shot the other week was great.
Then a few things to spec on,
A few Betty and Veronica Hughes covers
A couple for Nutmeg #1 days of future past swipe. Does anyone know what the deal with these are, there are basically no listings on eBay for this or the regular cover?
And a couple of Ms Marvel #14’s for the future, new character/ love interest, could be good for when they inevitably make a movie for this.
That’s it. But I remain super excited for a few phantoms that a certain kind gentleman has acquired for me.
Also has anyone heard back about their boba fett variants. I was emailed to say they had 3 put aside for me but nothing since…
He ran off with your money to Tijuana. Oddly good cellphone reception here.
1st week i didnt spend any money on comics since December…thats gonna change with Runlovekill and im gonna get caught up with back issues of the new Strain
Betty & Veronica #275 Hughes cover
D4ve #3
Ei8ht #3
Fade Out #5
Magneto #17
Ms Marvel #14
RunLoveKill #1
Shutter #11

Bprd Hell on Earth 130
Ghosted 19
Bags and boards
Robot Devil pop
Chrononauts #2? Ughh.. you disgust me.. I’m so done with this site (for the next 10 minutes)…. 😉
Lol nooooooo
Okay, a little longer than 10 minutes but I’m back.
I protested too. Stayed off the site for an hour too. I help coach my sons 6u baseball team. League looks down on me working on the site during practice
Cave Woman Zombie Situation? Gives me an idea for a new book… “Steampunk Vampire Cave Woman Zombie Apocalypse”. Nobody steal that… I’m gonna be rich.
I get the variant covers cheap and sell them online. Good profit. People love Budd Root’s cavewoman.
I got
Convergence #2 (Jae Lee Variant) @ Cover Price
Lumberjanes #13
Nova #29
Archie vs. Predator
I bought the Jae Lee variant to flip it but the prices are low on ebay. I guess i’ll keep it
I’ve been snagging the 1:25 variants for Convergence as well for cover and none are biting on eBay. I think I’m just gonna get them all and then do a big lot sale.. one location here is over ordering them me thinks but then again, makes it easy to snag the variants cause there’s more of them.
Threw this ill image set up fro grabs!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221745549686?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
Is Ms Marvel #14 worth picking up? I read there was a new love interest/character introduced.
