Woohoo! The 300th edition of the Open Forum!
And in case you haven’t done so, check out the New Comic Spec Review video for this week.
Did you know we have the forum up and running, you can check it out at the official CHU Forum site, go over and sign up.
As always we also want to hear about your weekly pickups.
So, What were your pick ups?
So far I managed to pick up the Batman 92 1 per store punchline sketch cover at cover price. I flipped it for $200.
I’ll be picking up Marvel Zombies Resurrection and Inkblot 1.
For the record I offered him double what he paid for it. He never responded to me.
For the record, I considered it until somebody offered $200
Lol. Glad you considered it.
300 ?
Congrats on 300
Congratulations on 300!!!!!!! So is this the first Venom……or was that last week?
Venomized Gwen-Poyo.
Wait.. what? What’d I miss?
Congrats on that 300 Tony!!! ???
Congrats on the 300th record breaking edition! Are you gonna start running a banner at the top?
Ha. I should.
Do it and you’ll find yourself without a tech guy for the website.. 😉
I can’t throw a rock without it hitting at least four tech guys that want to work here.
Yeah but how many will do it for free? 😉
….crickets….
He doesn’t do it for free he gets money. Don’t let him fool you.
Pennies on the dollar is money.. I suppose! 😉
Only one new book picked up today:
Marvel Zombies Resurrection #1 (Hans variant)
Great week of spec pick ups:
Icon #1 (Collector’s Edition still sealed X 2 for $5 each)
Something is Killing the Children #6 Cover A for cover price
Miles Morales: Spiderman #1 (4th print X 2 for $4 each)

Only saw one Miles Spiderman Birthday variant and wasn’t going to pay $60 it. Saw Batman #92 Retailer Thank You for $250 and left that one also.
BTW, was able to read Maestro #1 this week finally. Was an awesome book and as a fan of the Future Imperfect mini-series, can’t wait for the second issue!
Good hunting everyone.
I picked up some Marvel Mangaverse full runs, also a 4th Print Rebirth, picked up 4 different cheap recent Venom 26,27 Codex virgins sold them all for double, moved a few Death Metal #3 cover C and a couple Captain Marvel #18, pre sold a couple variant sets I preordered for the flip and didnt really want to get stuck with for $20 profit each. Also rounded out my Marvel Legends yearly big toy collection with a Starlord Helmet, and Antman Helmet. Have them all now but the Captain America shield (I can get a better one that’s actual metal cheaper in China) and the coming talking Deadpool head I still need to preorder. I did not get anything today for next week which is pretty amazing it’s been awhile, my preorders already had me covered for the coming week.
Had a terrific day hunting through back issues!
