Another big dollar month. The top ten comics accounted for over 1.2 million units sold. With Dark Knight III The Master Race accounting for a huge dollar share for DC, and when you throw in TMNT Batman and Harley’s Little Black Book, you have a good month for DC.

I read Carver Paris Story, which I thoroughly enjoyed more than I thought I would. I pre-ordered #2 just in case my local shops didn’t get them. Yours will be coming in the mail soon Tony. 😉
Yeah! I think there were three covers to it including possibly 2 Paul Pope ones. Pope of course is one of my favorite artists and signed every bit of his work I own (damn near everything). He was impressed by my collection.
Hmm.. I only knew of the 2 covers.
It’s crazy to see that enourmous is still low print.
It is. Just got finished reading the latest issue and it is so damn good. Going to retread them one after another soon.
Yeah, with the delays, I was gonna do the same when I’m caught up on my reads. I bought the first TPB so I don’t have to touch my minty fresh #1 in the PC.
Just imagine how much they are going to be worth if the T.V. show ever comes out. That’s why I get two of each cover.
Just checked the full list. Nailbiter under 9000 and Unfollow barely broke 7000.
Nailbiter at 9,000 copies isn’t bad. It’s the little book that can. Unfollow at 7,000 is great news meaning the tv show gets made the books could be of increased value.
Nailbiter #1 1st print is at 22,746.
Unfollow #1 1st print is at 10,740.
Both low prints. Makes them a little harder to come by if the demand picks up for sure. 🙂
I just switched over to nailbiter single issues instead of trade waiting. Unfollow has been good but i’m still waiting to see where it goes.
Monstress 1 – 2nd printing did not even make the list so it’s quite possible that this variant cover was well below 3K printed, might be worth picking up on while on the low side.
