Lucked out and found a Leather hardcover Marvel Limited (742 copies) Daredevil, Man without fear from 1994 still factory sealed! ..paid cover price! Hidden away behind some other things
nice
This weeks pickups…..
New Gods vol3 #17 1st Yuga Khan seriously have been trying to find a copy of this since someone here mentioned it when Batman v Superman came out. Everyday searching if one would be listed there was One on eBay with the whole run for $100 was only copy I could find and way too much, finally a few copies popped up on Amazon found a NM for under $10with shipping.
Avengers #9 1st wonderman VG slabbed was to the train early enough to get a decent deal yesterday.
Batman Mad Love NM slabbed 1st print 2nd Harley + origin pretty much done with any and all Harley keys except for the self titled series #1s This is more for my daughter to be displayed with her Mad Love Harley statue.
Captain Marvel #26 1st Thanos cover and 1st appearance Death.. Bought one of these about a month ago in high grade found another for really cheap. I didn’t mention last time I wrote this book up this is deaths 1st appearance Death the love of Deadpool and Thanos this is overlooked as no one advertises this as Deaths 1st appearance and few even mention its Thanos 1st cover when selling this. Death played a big role in the Deadpool video game she could show up somewhere in either a Deadpool or Infinity movie don’t know who would have the movie rights to her.
Marvel Spotlight #6, #7 1st Starlord in comic form. Not really that special of a Starlord key as he has a number of appearances in Marvel preview magazine before this with him on cover in color. Rocky’ s 1st in comics Hulk 271 is more important then this because it’s 1st Rocky cover and in color. Picked it up for $5
Amazing Spider-Man #129 1st punisher found an amazing deal on a high grade probably a 8.5 Sold off 2 of my 3 copies of this last week sold my third one after buying this. Big upgrade for my PC.

how were Killboxes looking on the shelves of yalls LCS’s ? THE 1:10 is a ghost around these parts
I didn’t see the 1:10 but that may have been because someone had picked it up before I looked (and I was there at open).
none of mine ordered enough to get the variant
My local had one that someone snagged up quickly.
this book looking like early Wednesday winner ..12.99 on the bay
4 Kids Walk was still pretty limited at both shops.
Image Plus was scarce as well, one shop sold out and the other only had around 6 copies total.
I got one but there were only three on the shelf at 12:00.
4 kids or Image Plus?
whats image plus?
Image plus is Image’s new Diamond ordering catalog and comic and magazine. It features a chapter of negan’s origin plus other goodies.
Yeah, I only grabbing them cause of Negan’s back story, which I first want to find out about/read and now since shops seemed short handed (at least in my area), for potential flip money. 🙂
The one shop I went to had a pretty big stack at about 4pm.
No Sabretooth Dan at any lcs here. 4 Kids was scarce too.
Additional pickups:
The Chosen 1
The Fix 1
Squirrel Girl 7 Oum variant
Image + was only available to those who purchased Previews here.
we had the option of paying for it separate 1.99…fun Negan comic in the back.
Same here.
That’s total crap. It actually says right on the cover.. $1.99 or Free with Previews.
Yup. I elected the $1.99.
Same here. I picked up 3 copies, one shop pulled one for me after I had already bought 2.
Long time lurker, first time poster. Image+ was only available at my LCS with the purchase of the Preview mag..
For shame. I picked up copies independently.
What’s up CHU. My in store pick ups included.
The Fix #1 still had a few on the shelf
Rick and Morty #13a and b
Image plus #1
J L #49
Spiderwoman #6 connecting
Since I couldn’t find any more Superman American Alien #2 in the wild I broke down and got 2 sets of #1 and #2 off eBay last weekend. Hopefully I will get to hit a couple more stores tomorrow.
The 3 comic shops i visited had no killbox issues .Didn’t order them,this is going to be a tough one to get.
Just posted up Wednesday Winner: Kill Box…. going to be harder to get.
4 Kids Walk Into a Bank#1
Dark Knight III #4
Postal #12: Hasn’t missed a beat with the new writer. Hope this turns into a show
Saga #36
Sex Criminals XXX Variant: I think i’m done with Sex Criminals after this issue. The delays are killing the book and the story has gotten way off track.
I have Previews in my pull so i’ll be getting the Image Plus also.
This was also my last issue of Sex Crim. Not sure I even got 14 it was so long ago. Might just sell off my set.
I really liked this series starting out. Funny and charming and a little bit weird. Now it’s just weird and I really feel like they’re coming up with off the wall stuff without advancing the story. Plus in 6 months when the next issue comes out I’ll have forgotten what the last issue had in it anyway….
Sabretooth Dan hard to find as well – one lcs had 1 copy – and only 2 right now on ebay.
Yeah. Was waiting for those two to pop off before writing about them.
