Welcome to this weeks spec. This is where we pick the winners each week we (or shall I say myself) think will be spec worthy, a great read or just cool looking art on the cover.
Not a lot from Marvel this week unlike the previous weeks..
Marvel Picks
Avengers Forever #4 brings back the Goddesses from Aaron’s earlier Thor runs.
Really digging this Demon Days Blood Feud #1 Sienkiewicz Variant for this one shot.
I really like this Alex Ross regular cover for Iron Man #18.
Just buy them all when it comes to Vader (well, not all of the same issue, just all issues).. Star Wars Darth Vader #21.
Star Wars Darth Vader #21 (Sprouse Lucasfilm 50th Variant)
Star Wars Darth Vader #21 (Raffaele Ienco Variant)
Browse all Star Wars Darth Vader #21 on eBay!
Same goes for Star Wars Doctor Aphra #19. Great character, great series. Can’t wait for her to get her own Disney+ show.. Come on Disney, you know we demand it! Make it already! Darth Vader #3 already pricey modern book is going to explode when the news hits! Are you ready?
Star Wars Doctor Aphra #19 (Tarr Variant)
Star Wars Doctor Aphra #19 (Sprouse Lucasfilm 50th Variant)
You can still find Star Wars Halcyon Legacy #1 (of 5) first prints at TFAW but apparently they’re sold out of the Second Printing, that is now an all black background cover (which I like better than the all white).
Browse eBay for all Star Wars Halcyon Legacy #1.
DC Picks
Not a lot coming out of DC this week as well, just like Marvel. I know the months with 5 Wednesdays normally give us a weak 5th Wednesday so maybe they’re swapping next week with this week? Seems like this is mostly just a big reader/filler week for most titles for the two big publishers.
Anyways, looking forward to Rogues #1 (of 4). Hopefully it’s a decent read. I expect zero spec or heat from this one.
Rogues #1 (of 4) (Cover B – Massimiliano Leomacs Variant)
Rogues #1 (Cho 1:25 Homage Variant) – For you Action Comics #1 fans, it’s been done a billion times before.
Check out eBay for all their listings for Rogues #1.
Really like this Trial of the Amazons Wonder Girl #1 (of 2) (Cover B – Jeff Dekal Card Stock Variant).
Indie and Small Publisher Picks
We Have Demons #1 is something I’ll be checking out myself. The plot is nothing ground breaking but we do tend to recycle and enjoy these types of stories over and over.. Hopefully Snyder brings his A game though as a lot of his stuff for me has lacked his older stuff.
We Have Demons #1 (Greg Capullo Foil Variant Cover)
We Have Demons #1 (Peach Momoko Variant Cover)
We Have Demons #1 (Jock Variant Cover)
We Have Demons #1 (Dan Panosian TFAW Exclusive Variant)
We Have Demons #1 (Dan Panosian TFAW Exclusive Variant) CBCS 9.8 Graded Blue Label
Checkout all the eBay listings for We Have Demons #1
Ghost Cage #1 (of 3) is a new Dragotta title who we all know and love from East of West. I have an advanced review copy I need to read hopefully before Wednesday.
TFAW has their own exclusives for this one as well:
Ghost Cage #1 (Dragotta TFAW Exclusive Variant)
Ghost Cage #1 (Dragotta TFAW Exclusive Variant) CBCS 9.8 Graded Blue Label
Armorclads #1 (of 5) (Cover A – Manuel) is a new Valiant title I’m looking forward to. Love me some sci fi and if this one is done right, sounds like it could be a nice universe building story to spin off or do much more with.
Armorclads #1 (of 5) (Cover B – Mastrazzo)
Armorclads #1 (of 5) (Cover C – Hutomo)
Shop eBay for Armorclads #1 which there’s a 1:250 Metal Variant that is going to be a ghost variant for sure. There’s also a Hotz exclusive variant as well.
For you Horror fans, Pentagram of Horror #1 (Cover B – 10 Copy Fontanili) is available at TFAW, sold out at Midtown. Sold out of the regular cover though at TFAW.
Shop eBay for Pentagram of Horror, seems like there’s some other exclusive cover variants out there.
