Picks of the Week
Batman #89 2nd Ptg and….
Year Of The Villain Hell Arisen #3 Cover C 2nd Ptg – Pretty easy, these will be snatched up. Already selling online for above cover price.
Looks like your link cleaned out the remaining copies of BM89 and HA3 at MCS….still had copies for sale as of about 8pm…
Few or no Batman 89 and Year of villain hell arisen 3 in stores since stores normally order less of second printings and some didn’t anticipate higher demand..
Wrong. FOC for the 2nd prints was after news got released of the Punchline in Batman 89 and Hell Arisen 3. Stores ordered heavy on the 2nd prints.
Pre-ordered both covers for Sweet Heart #1. This one looks like it has potential.
