Wednesday, the best day of the week, new comic book day. It is like your birthday in the middle of each week (well, one where you buy your own presents.)
We open things up to hear from you. A free for all.
The 105th edition of the open forum!
I am still dog tired from NYCC but will be updating with more of the news tonight. Keep an eye out for that.
“Don’t mess with my Wednesdays”.
As always we also want to hear about your weekly pickups.
So, What were your pick ups?
What had disappeared off the shelves?
What was sitting on the shelves?
What back issue deals did you grab?

Informed Comic Book Speculation and Pop Culture News
Picked up lots and lots of darth vader #3 1st aphra and the star wars #18 1:100 with her on the cover
Reborn variants, especially McFarlane
Girrion #1 (going to be a hit)
DV #25 Aphra action figures
I was able to snag the Reborn McFarlane variant at cover today. 🙂
I didn’t see a single one in the wild.
Lucky dog. I thought that was the best cover they have of the book. I didn’t see at at my LCS and I know they had more than 25 copies of Reborn on the shelf. Isn’t it a 1:25 ratio?
Yes, I believe it’s a 1:25 variant. The Capullo sketch was a 1:100 ratio.
Today’s pickups:
Warlords of appalachia 1
Briggs land 3
Detective comics 942
Doom patrol 2
Flash 8
Gotham academy 2

Picked up Reborn #1 McFarlane
Girrion #1 (bought a bunch on midtown also, think it’s going to be a massive hit)
Clone Consp 1
Found a slabbed ASM #4 for a great price
could not find any Darth Vader #3 in the shops, I’ll have to buy on ebay before they make the announcement that she’s the title character
Too late…it’s been announced. Even seen pics of the cover
Vader #25 and #3 (1st aphra…1:25. 1st and 4th print regular covers)
Bring on Aphra #1!
Picked up Reborn #1! It’s going to be a hit! The variants are amazing!
But the big score is reading Darth Vader 25! Aphra is alive and well! She is a star, but will be an even bigger star in the future!
Stock up on those Darth Vader#3’s and get ready for the ride!
Didn’t pick up much.
But has that special thrill to See aphra live.
This was called almost a year ago and was thinking She would get her own Run.
Made me so happy, that I picked up a few 1:25 (not dv3, but other good books)
Oh.. And same With girrion, that book was on the bag long ago too 🙂
Today was a great Day 🙂
Mosaic #1
Reborn #1
OML #12
Darth Vader #25 – quick flip through the story…Dr. Aphra lives!
Immediately checked for back issues of DV #3 at two shops. None. ?
Picked up DV25 and wow what a great read! I can see how this is going to lead to an Aphra series
Also got:
reborn (jock cover is great)
Glitterbomb
Tec 942
BEK 7
Pick up your DV3’s, kids, you’ll thank me later
.The easy winner in my neck of the woods was Peepland #1.Managed to pick up 2 sets of all covers.Finally read Cannibal and I really like it.Kill or Be Killed #3 was a great read.
Didn’t pick up much at my lcs. Did pick up my mail with some of the last cheap DV3 regular and 1:25 variants that I could find. 🙂

On the Funko Pop side, I picked up NYCC exclusive Bistan and Deadpool. They have some left on the site as of this posting. I understand they are popping up as in stock from time to time so it’s worth randomly checking

Did Lord of Gore come out this week? I picked up the Kickstarter cover at NYCC but didn’t realize the book came out fully.
It’s next week.
Speaking of Kickstarters, would you or do you know of a site that would recommend some kickstart project for people to jump on. I hated missing out on Squirrors. Love me some Ashley Witter art.
We cover them when we find interesting ones. As for a place that advertises them I do not know.
