Variants of the Week 09/25/2019

This week I chose 15 books, 3 of them have high opening interest and interesting presales, but so far all of them have low degrees of liquidity. 4 are by known home-run hitting cover artist. 4 are character storyline driven 2 are indies; The rest are covers that I just want for the collection.  Note: Estimated Print Runs are best guesses using historical data, they are not meant to be used for not to be used for targeting, and are meant to demonstrate hypothetical demand elasticity.

Strikeforce #1 Cover C Variant Mike Deodato Jr Cover

1st appearance of the Serpent Prince. Estimated print run:6,250, Opening interest: 35.  Pivot Point:  Even though the volume does seems to be moving the price has not.  I personally would prefer the Joe Quesada Variant but the $85-115 price tag is a deal breaker.

 Strikeforce #1 Joe Quesada Hidden Gem

Wolverine Annual (2019) #1 Cover B Variant John Tyler Christopher

An intriguing story and 1st appearance of Celia Shroud. Estimated print run:19,000, Opening interest: 100.  Pivot Point:  Another high volume mover pre-sale, Even though the volume does seems to be moving the price has not.

House Of X #5 Variant David Nakayama Connecting Cover

Estimated Print Run: 21,600 . Pre-sales:+110

Powers Of X #5 Cover F Variant Skottie Young

 

FEARLESS #3 (OF 4) FRISON CONNECTING VAR

Under the radar 1st appearance of “Ghost Cat” Kait Nekomata. Estimated print run: 10,000, Opening interest: No data. Pivot Point: Interesting waters for Marvel.  A low key play for the Manga market.  She has two forms that could play out in Cosplay, one as a furry, the other one that could low -key cosplay replicable by anyone.

Absolute Carnage Miles Morales #2 Cover B Variant David Nakayama

Absolute Carnage Miles Morales #2 Cover A Regular Clayton Crain

It is a great cover, but the demand might be slowed by the fact that there is a store variant virgin out there, that’s going for a reasonable price.  Artist Clayton Crain; Limited to 1500 virgin copies with COA.

Marvel Team-Up Vol 4 #6

No big expectations here but there is the new Starforce Blue that pops up.

Plot #1 Swamp Thing Homage Variant

Not a bad story so far. I am definitely looking foward to issue #2.  As for the cover I actually like cover A as well but everyone is gravitating toward the cover B.
