Uncanny Inhumans #11 is one to watch, out next week, it features the first appearance of Mosaic, the character that was shown in the Marvel announcement we ran yesterday, and that where was a great deal of discussion on. You can check it out here.
From Brian:
Uncanny Inhumans #11 is completely sold out at Diamond Already. There is a red hot 1:25 variant as well. This is the first appearance of Mosaic ahead of his ongoing series in the fall. You might want to load up on this one.
All the big comic shops on line are sold out, TFAW, Midtown, Dreamland, Graham Cracker. TFAW is sold out of the regular already. There are no Buy-it-now’s up on eBay and only one auction up. The auction is starting at 99 cents.
The 1:25 Putri variant is already selling at the $25-$30 level. (best offers were accepted on two copies but one sold for $25)
Midtown has put up some Cover A & B for sale. Not many Cover B left.
so that no one is confused, that’s not Mosaic on the cover of 1:25 (thankfully)..gives the other covers a chance of being worth some $$$
Just noting the 1:25 is selling well when they have popped up. First appearance of Mosaic
yeah, would be nice if Cover A was a misdirection and Mosaic was on that cover. Chaos would reign.
1st appearance of new character.. just another regular comic with nothing else that special, I’m gonna go with the regular cover will end up being the winner. Only time the variants go for more is if the new character is on the cover.
I’m not crazy excited about this new character but I’ll gamble some, I ordered around 5.
well i’ll be watching out for the 2nd print with Mosaic on the cover.
Lol hoping for a Ms Marvel to happen?
yeah, fingers crossed
I’ve got 10 copies normal cover 5 variant covers.
Any Wednesday winners?
Need to look.
Unless they got allocated and ship later, no one seems to have gotten Dredd Dust #1. Not even Midtown got them and now their site says #1 release is July 13th. But they’re slated to get #2 next week.
Only one shop I visited got them and only had like a handful total, only one left when I got there and was able to grab.
Literally none listed on eBay (except international sellers).. except one seller listing them at $15.99 each with free shipping.
They were allocated. Rumor has it they are coming out in a few weeks. My local comic shop had ordered 40 copies and got one.
So most will get #2 before #1.. awesome!
Mosaic’s origin will be told in a free issue by Thorne and Randolph which will be released exclusively to Barnes & Noble on August 6.

Uncanny Inhumans #11 all covers now sold out at Midtown.
I was watching the cover A on Midtown…they had quite a few in stock and they sold out very fast.
The CHU is in effect! 🙂
Even though the 1:25 variant doesn’t have Mosaic on the cover, it will be the rarest and hard to find. It is a key issue, therefore making the 1:25 variant the one to get out of the three, especially since none of them have him on the cover. Out of default, the winner is the rarest variant.
Not really. That argument doesn’t factor in the profit margin, after expense, of a variant cover versus the 1:1 covers. The rarest cover for the New 52 relaunch of Detective Comics, for example, is the RRP variant. That being said, anyone that simply bought a few first prints and flipped them likely had a much better margin than the feller flipping is his RRP variant. Its doubtful after all that any shops that received an RRP were just, like, “oh hey, have this for cover”. 1:X usually means “more profit:less profit”, unless, like Anthony pointed out, there’s something special about the cover. If you’re buying variants simply because they’re variants and you think they’re the best investment of your money then I’ve got a honey of a deal on some swamp land for ya.
My poop is one of a kind, super rare.. but no one wants to buy my crap.. hopefully you get what I’m saying there, rare does not = winner, demand = winner. You can have one of a kind of something but if not one wants it, then there’s no demand, thus it’s value is worthless despite it being “rare”.
The winner is the one people demand, which in most cases has not been the high ratio variants. Those (the higher ratio variants) for sure might fetch more dollars but when you can buy a comic at cover price and then flip for multiple times that or down the road the book ends up 20 or 50 times that cover price, that’s the real winner.
I’ll buy it, but only if it’s an RRP poop. I hate the barcodes on mass market poos.
That’s me with the Dredd Dust preorder. I’ve been waiting for effing ever for that.
damn I ave been trying to get 1 now that 2 is coming out. Third Eye ordered 50 and got 1
Bids are up to $56.00 on the sole (domestic) ebay listing as of this comment (http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNCANNY-INHUMANS-11-PUTRI-VARIANT-MARVEL-COMICS-FREE-SHIPPING-/122024712526?hash=item1c693d594e:g:UaoAAOSw3YNXbDkS).
Buy it nows are going for $60. Glad I asked my LCS in advance to hold me one.
Ditto here. There will probably be one copy available to me at cover price.
The question becomes whether to off-load tomorrow or hold. I guess at $3.99, holding poses low risk. I think the Market is going to be flooded tomorrow morning.
As long as I double my money I don’t care.
